How Do I Embed a PDF in Canva?

Last updated on April 8, 2023 @ 10:27 am

There are two ways to embed a PDF in Canva:

The first method is to upload the PDF file into Canva as an image. To do this, first, convert the PDF into an image.

NOTE: Many third-party tools convert PDF files into images for free online.

Now, click on the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand panel and select the “Upload files” option.

Then, simply find the PDF file converted into an image on your computer and click “Open.”

You can then find the uploaded image file in your Uploads window. Simply click on it to add it to your canvas.

Once the PDF is added to your canvas, you can move and resize it like any other image in Canva. You can also add text or other elements on top of it.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great way to create beautiful designs, but you should be aware that you can’t embed a PDF directly into a design. If you try to do this, you’ll just see a blank space where the PDF should be. You can workaround this by first converting your PDF into an image file (PNG or JPG) and then inserting that into your design.

The second method is to insert a link to the PDF file. To do this, first, copy the link of your PDF. You can use Google Drive for this step. Simply upload your PDF file to your Google Drive account and then click on the three dots icon on the file and select the “Get link” option.

Once you have copied the link to your PDF file, go back to Canva and select the text that you want to link to your PDF. From there, right-click on it and select “Link” from the options.

Finally, paste the link of the PDF that you copied earlier to the space provided for the URL, then click on the “Done” button. And that’s it!

Your PDF file will now be embedded in the Canva design. When someone clicks on the link, they will be taken to the PDF file.

Conclusion:

Both methods are easy to use and will allow you to embed a PDF in Canva. If you want to move or resize the PDF, then you should use the first method. If you want people to be able to click on a link to open the PDF, then you should use the second method.
