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.
On Computer
1) Open the design you want to share.
2) Select Share in the editor.
3) Select the Collaboration Link dropdown, then choose Anyone with the link:
4) Select the next dropdown, then choose Can edit. Tip: If you want guests to only be able to view or comment, select Can view or Can comment:
5) Select Copy link.
6) Share the design link with anyone who needs edit access, even those without Canva accounts.
On Mobile
1) Open the design you want to share.
2) Tap Share, then Share link.
3) Tap the Collaboration Link dropdown, then choose Anyone with the link:
4) Tap the next dropdown, then choose Can edit. Tip: If you want guests to only be able to view or comment, select Can view or Can comment:
5) Select Copy link.
6) Share the design link with anyone who needs edit access, even those without Canva accounts.
Anyone with the link can edit without logging in if they access it on a desktop browser. You’ll see them as a “guest.” On mobile, they’ll need to log in or sign up to edit.
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.
Learn what guests can and can’t do
What they can do
- View, present, and play a design.
- Make edits to the design. They can access the side panel, add, edit, or delete design and text elements, and add, edit, or delete pages.
- Copy the design link. They can share the design link you sent, but they won’t be able to change the edit permissions or access other share options.
- See comments from users.
- See live updates by other users.
What they can’t do
- Upload content or files to the design. They can’t drag and drop files or access the Upload tab.
- Add, edit, or resolve a comment. They need to sign up or log in to Canva to do this.
- Share the design. Except for sharing the design link you sent them, they can’t access any other share options, like inviting people via email.
- Change design link permissions.
- Make a copy of the design.
- Print the design.
- Publish or download the design.
