Export Affinity files to Canva
You can export your Affinity document or a selected area directly to a specific folder within Canva.
Affinity Studio allows you to easily edit your projects and export them directly to Canva, either in full or as individual sections, right into a folder of your choice. This smooth integration ensures a faster, simpler workflow, helping you save valuable time while creating professional-quality content using the best tools available.
To keep your workflow organized and efficient, create dedicated folders in Canva before exporting from Affinity Studio.
