If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for new ways to be organized and efficient. One way I’ve been able to do this recently is by creating digital planners using Canva.
I love being able to access my planner from my phone or computer, and being able to add links into my planner has made it even more helpful! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can create your own digital planner with links in Canva:
1. Create a new design. In Canva, click on the “Create a design” button and select “Custom dimensions.” For my digital planner, I like to use the dimensions 8.5″ x 11″.
2. Add a background. Next, you’ll want to add a background.
You can either upload your own image or choose one from Canva’s library of free images. If you select an image from Canva’s library, make sure it’s high resolution so it doesn’t look blurry when you print it out.
3. Add your content. Now it’s time to start adding your content! You can use Canva’s built-in templates or create your own from scratch.
For each section of your planner, add a new text box and type out what you want that section to be titled. For example, in my daily planner I have sections for “To Do,” “Today’s Schedule,” and “Notes. ”
4. Style your text. Once you have all of your content added, you can start styling it to make it look exactly how you want.
In the text box toolbar, there are options to change the font, size, color, alignment, and more. You can also add images and shapes to further customize your design.
5. Add links. This is my favorite part! To add a link, first highlight the text you want to hyperlink.
Then click on the “Link” icon in the text box toolbar (it looks like a chain link). In the pop-up window, paste in the URL you want to link to and click “Apply.” Your text will now be hyperlinked!
6. Save and download. When you’re finished designing your planner, click on the “File” menu in the top left corner and select “Download.”
You can choose to download your design as a PDF or JPG file. I like to download mine as a PDF so I can print it out at home or at a local print shop.
Creating a digital planner with links in Canva is easy and only takes a few minutes! By following these simple steps, you’ll have a custom planner that you can use over and over again.
