Publish ads with Canva Grow Launch
Launch helps you publish ads to supported advertising platforms without leaving Canva. You can select creative assets, organize them into campaigns and ad sets, customize ad copy, and track publishing status from one place.
Supported platforms:
You must already have an advertising account connected to Canva Grow before publishing ads with Launch.
Canva Grow supports connecting Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn advertising accounts. Creating new advertising accounts isn't supported in Canva.
You can publish up to 50 ads in a single submission.
Advertising compliance
You are responsible for ensuring ads created or published using Canva Grow comply with applicable laws and platform policies. All ads remain subject to review by the platform on which they are published.
Publish your ads
- Review your connected ad account, then select the Facebook Page and Instagram account you'd like to use.
- Under Designs, select the ads you'd like to publish. You can choose from:
- Recent ads created in Canva Grow
- Designs saved in your Canva library
- Uploads stored in Canva or uploaded during the publishing process
Your selected assets appear in the selection tray. You can continue once you've selected at least one asset.
3. Under Ad copy, review and customize your ad content. You can write your ad copy manually or select Generate to create a first draft using AI.
Review and update the following fields:
- Ad name
- Primary text
- Headline
- Description
- Call to action
- Website URL
Canva can generate ad copy based on your creative assets, brand information, and campaign objective. You can edit the content for individual ads before publishing.
4. Under Campaign, choose where you'd like to publish your ads:
- Existing campaign to add ads to a current campaign
- New campaign to create a campaign during publishing
- Duplicate campaign to reuse the structure of a previous campaign
5. Under Ad set, choose where your ads will be organized. Depending on your campaign selection, you can:
- Select an existing ad set
- Create a new ad set
- Duplicate a previous ad set
Ad sets help define how ads are grouped and delivered within a campaign
6. Review your publishing details, including:
- Platform
- Ad account
- Campaign
- Ad set
- Ads in batch
- Destination
By default, ads are submitted as paused. This means they're created on the advertising platform but won't start running until you activate them.
7. Select Submit to publish your ads.
8. After your ads are submitted, select Go to Launch to return to the dashboard and track their publishing status.
Publishing destinations
When publishing ads, choose where you'd like them to go:
