Can I Edit HTML in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 4:24 pm

HTML is the standard markup language for creating web pages. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML is used to create electronic documents (called pages) that are displayed on the World Wide Web.

Each page contains a series of connections to other pages called links. Every web page you see on the Internet is written using HTML code.

Canva is a free online design platform that allows users to create designs for social media, marketing materials, presentations, website headers, and more. Canva also has a built-in photo editor and supports drag-and-drop elements.

While Canva does not directly support HTML code, it is possible to insert HTML code into the Design Editor using the Code widget.

To insert HTML code into a Canva design:

  1. Open the design you want to edit in the Design Editor.
  2. Click on the “+” icon at the top of the left-hand panel and select “Code” from the menu.
  3. A box will appear. Paste your HTML code into this box and click “Apply.

  4. Your HTML code will now be visible in the design. To edit it, double-click on the code box and make your changes.

Note: The Code widget only supports HTML code. If you want to use CSS or JavaScript, you will need to use an external CSS or JavaScript file.
