Import files from third-party apps to Canva AI

You can attach files from cloud storage apps or third-party data sources to give Canva AI more context. Add files by selecting them or pasting a link.

You can import to Canva AI from your homepage or while editing a design.

2. Select the
   plus icon, then choose
   Import.
3. Choose from the list of available apps.

Tip: You can also paste a link directly from one of the available apps in Canva AI. If you haven't connected your account yet, you'll be asked to set it up.

You can disconnect the app from your Settings or by following these steps:
