Media
Files come to you, tagged.
Clients and teammates upload through a private link, files arrive tagged in your library, and Canva designs come in with one tap.
What it does
File requests
Send a private link, and people sign in with a free account and upload, up to 1 GB a file.
One tap in from Canva
Connect Canva once, then one tap brings a design into the post as a picture, every page for a carousel, or a video.
Style profiles
Save links to videos you like, and your assistant writes a style profile from them. We store the links, never other people’s videos.
Originals clear themselves
Originals clear 30 days after they are posted unless you keep them.
Tagged in your library
Uploads land tagged in your media library, with a push when they arrive.
