Share your Canva design and collaborate with anyone
Canva lets you collaborate with anyone right away. You can share a link that lets anyone edit your design, no sign-in required. Here's how.
Give anyone edit access to your design
To share a design, make sure you are the design owner or have edit access to it.
- Open the design you want to share.
- In the editor, select Share.
- Your design is set to Only you can access by default. Select Anyone with the link from the dropdown.
- Select the permission you want to give: Can edit, Can comment, or Can view. You can change the permissions any time after this.
- Select Copy link.
Note: Guests will need to log into Canva to comment, but they don’t need to be members of your team.
Invite a user to your team when sharing
You can invite other people to your team when sharing a design. Here’s how.
- Open the design you want to share.
- Select Share in the editor.
- Under People with access, enter the email address with whom you want to share your design.
- Check the option to invite this user to your team.
Note: If you’re on Canva Pro, you can’t invite people to your team when sharing. To create or expand a team, upgrade to Canva Business. You can still collaborate with people who aren’t on your plan or don’t use Canva.
How to know if a guest joins your design
When people open your design and they’re not logged in to Canva, their picture will be an animal illustration, rather than their initials or photo.
You can change or remove the design link permission if you don’t want a guest to edit your design.
