Navigate the Canva mobile app


We've updated the Canva mobile app navigation to make it easier to create designs, find your work, and access your favorite tools. Everything's now organized into five clear tabs at the bottom of your screen.

Understand the new mobile navigation layout

The Canva mobile app now has a refreshed navigation with five main tabs:

  • Canva AI: Generate and edit designs, and brainstorm ideas
  • Create: Start new designs with Quick Create shortcuts (formerly Home)
  • Templates: Browse and search design templates
  • Your Designs: Find all your designs, including recent work (formerly Projects)
  • More: Access your Profile, Brand Kits, Apps, and other features

We're rolling out navigation changes gradually, so some steps in this Help article may not accurately reflect what you see in the app. If you can't find Canva AI, your profile photo, or your Print cart on the homepage, go to
