Can You Make a Cookbook on Canva?

You can make a cookbook on Canva!

Designing a cookbook from scratch can be daunting. Where do you even start? Canva’s got you covered.

We have a wide collection of ready-made, customizable templates for you to choose from. Plus, our easy-to-use drag-and-drop tools make it a breeze to add your own photos, illustrations, and text. In no time at all, you’ll have a beautiful cookbook that’s ready to be shared with the world.

Here’s how to design a cookbook on Canva:

1. Choose a template

First things first: pick out a design that suits your style. Whether you want something minimalist or fun and funky, we’ve got you covered. Once you’ve found the perfect template, personalize it to make it your own.

2. Add your photos and illustrations

No cookbook is complete without mouthwatering photos of the finished dishes. Luckily, Canva makes it easy to add your own images straight from your computer or from our library of over 2 million stock photos, illustrations, and icons. Just drag and drop them into place.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great tool for creating beautiful designs, but it is not meant for creating cookbooks. The design and layout features are not well suited for cookbooks, and the end result will likely be disappointing. If you’re looking to create a cookbook, we recommend using a dedicated cookbook software or hiring a professional designer.

3. Insert text

Now it’s time to add the finishing touches: your words! Use our text editor to write out your recipes, then format them using our easy-to-use tools. You can even add special effects like embellishments, borders, and icons.

4. Download or share online

When you’re finished designing, simply download your cookbook as a PDF or JPG file or share it online with just one click.
