Getting started with Canva
In order to get started using Canva, you will be required to sign up, or log in if you already have an account.
You can sign up using a previously existing Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, or email account. If you are using Canva for work, you can also use a work related email.
You must agree to the Terms of Use, which are linked on the sign in page.
Make sure that you keep track of the account you are using to sign up for Canva, as you will need it in order to log back in later and view your projects.
You may be asked what you are using Canva for in order for Canva to recommend designs and templates. If you are not sure, you can choose "personal."
Canva has free options and paid options. Canva Pro is the paid version of Canva. It offers some features and designs that are not accessible for free users. However, you can use most tools on Canva for free.
The Canva homepage will look similar to this once you log in.
Canva has a variety of tips and tutorials to get started. They can be found on the left side of the screen under “Get started with Canva."
