1. Choose the Right Canva Template

When you start with a high-quality template, you’re already 80% done.
Browse Canva’s library or upload a template bundle (like our 3,000+ proven-to-convert templates).

Pick a design that’s already close to your desired look. This will save you time editing.
 

Pro Tip: Look for layouts that match your content type — Facebook ad, Instagram story, or email graphic — to avoid resizing later.
 

2. Open the Template in Canva

Once you’ve chosen your design:
Click the template link.

Select Use Template.

Canva will open a fully editable copy in your account (free or Pro).
 

No software to install, no complicated setup — everything works in your browser or the Canva mobile app.
 

3. Customize the Text

Editing text in Canva is as simple as clicking and typing.

Update headlines, offers, or product names.

Keep ad copy short and clear — especially for social media.

Use Canva’s font pairing suggestions for a professional look.
 

4. Swap Images in Seconds

Templates often have placeholders you can replace instantly.

Upload your own images in the Uploads tab.

Drag and drop them onto the placeholder.

Double-click to reposition or zoom.
 

For Facebook and Instagram ads, use bright, eye-catching visuals that match your brand.
 

5. Adjust Colors to Match Your Brand

Consistency is key for brand recognition.

Click any element → Color Picker → Enter your brand hex code.

Apply to all elements for a cohesive look.
 

Pro Tip: If you don’t have a brand palette yet, Canva’s Color Palette Generator can help.
 

6. Download & Share Your Design

When your template is ready:

Click Share → Download.

Use PNG for social media, JPEG for web, and PDF for print.

Post directly from Canva to Facebook or Instagram for speed.
