How to make a pamphlet
- Open Canva
Launch Canva on mobile or desktop and sign up with your Facebook or Google account. If you already have an account, log in and search for “pamphlets” to get started.

In Canva’s library, you’ll find pamphlet templates for every theme. Find the best one for you by adding keywords that fit your choice of theme, style and color scheme. Simply click on the template to add it to your page.
- Explore features
Explore Canva’s features in one convenient place in your editor. Choose from millions of photos, illustrations, icons, logos, charts and other graphics. Use the handy drag-and-drop tool to place elements onto your page.
- Keep personalizing
Add your own personal touch to the template you’ve chosen by uploading your own images and graphics to your design. Mix and match font styles and color schemes easily too.
- Order your prints
Order high-quality prints of your pamphlets through Canva Print and enjoy free shipping. Or, save your design as a PDF, JPG or PNG file. Remember you can always edit your design any time.
Use custom imagery or professional and stunning stock photography
Your own professional images will look fantastic in a pamphlet designed with Canva, and if they’re not entirely up to scratch, no worries. You can still make a great impression by enhancing your imagery with our powerful and easy-to-use photo editing tools that can help you crop, filter and correct your images until they’re absolutely impeccable.
If you don’t have your own images, that’s no problem. Canva gives you access to an enormous library of over 1 million stock images, illustrations and design elements for your use. If any premium images or elements catch your eye, they’ll only ever set you back $1 a pop, which means that no matter what your budget is, a perfectly designed pamphlet is always within reach.
Share and collaborate with colleagues and friends
Is designing your pamphlet a group effort? Or do you need to get feedback on your design? If you’re working in a team, you might want your colleagues or friends to see what you’ve achieved.
With Canva, even working with a team based in multiple time zones isn’t a problem. Canva’s simple-to-use platform makes it easy for you to collaborate and share your designs. All you really need to do is click the ‘Share’ button to email your design directly to a contact or send a link to whoever needs it. Want to share it on social media? Again, all it takes is a simple click of the ‘Share’ button to get your design out into the world.
Print your pamphlet in stunning high resolution
Once you’re done designing your pamphlet, it’s time to print and distribute it to the right audiences, mailboxes, community centres and more. All you need to do is click “Download” and choose “High quality PDF” to get a high-resolution file that’s ready for printing. The quality is so good that you can print your pamphlets at home, but if you want to send your file to a professional printer, it’s simple to do that too!
FAQ

Pamphlets are typically larger than leaflets and smaller than brochures. They include some images but are mostly informational, and so feature a lot of text. They are printed on one side or both sides, folded into multiple sections and printed on standard or high quality paper.
To make your pamphlet pop off the page, use vivid, high quality images and balance them with clear blocks of text. Use as much white space as possible. Keep your font size and style consistent throughout the pamphlet. Add recognizable graphics like social media icons and your brand logo.
