If you’re anything like me, you have a ton of Canva designs saved to your computer. And if you’re anything like me, those designs are in a total chaotic mess with no organization whatsoever.
But never fear! I’m here to show you how to organize your Canva designs so you can easily find the one you’re looking for when you need it.
The first thing you need to do is create a folder structure that makes sense to you. I like to keep my folders organized by project, so I have a folder for each of the clients I design for.
Within each of those folders, I have subfolders for each type of design I do for that client. So, for example, I might have a folder for blog graphics and another for social media images. This helps me keep my designs organized and easy to find.
Once you have your folder structure set up, the next step is to name your files in a way that makes sense. I like to include the date in my file names so I can easily see when a design was created.
For example, if I created a blog graphic on May 1st, 2018, I would name the file something like “050118-blog-graphic.png”. This helps me keep my designs organized chronologically, which can be helpful if you need to reference back to older designs.
The final step is to use tags and keywords to help you find your designs even faster. Canva allows you to add tags to each design, so make sure to use them!
I like to tag my designs with things like “blog”, “social media”, or the name of the client. This way, I can easily search for designs using those terms and find exactly what I’m looking for.
Organizing your Canva designs doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. By taking a few minutes to set up a folder structure and name your files in a logical way, you can save yourself a lot of time and frustration down the road.
