Connecting to Canva
Connect Your Canva Account
Creatimatic integrates directly with Canva, allowing you to import your designs at high resolution without downloading and re-uploading files.
Steps to Connect
- Navigate to Dashboard → Integrations.
- Click "Connect" on the Canva card.
- Authorize Creatimatic in the Canva popup.
- Once connected, you'll see a "Import from Canva" button in your Image Library and Listing Creator.
How it Works
1. View Your Designs
You can browse your entire Canva library within Creatimatic.
- Folders: Navigate your existing Canva folders.
- Search: Find designs by name.
2. High-Res Import
When you select a design, Creatimatic imports it specifically for Print-on-Demand:
- Resolution: Automatically selects the highest quality (up to 25MB).
- Transparency: Preserves transparent backgrounds for perfect printing.
3. Automatic Syncing
If you edit a design in Canva (e.g., fix a typo), simply click "Re-sync" in Creatimatic.
- The image is updated in your library.
- (Optional) You can automatically update all live listings using that image.
Troubleshooting
- "Design too small": Ensure your Canva canvas serves print requirements (standard T-shirt size is 4500 x 5400 px).
- "Background not transparent": You need a Canva Pro account to export with transparent backgrounds.
