How to upload a font to canva

Frustration often strikes when you’re designing a project in Canva, and you can’t find the perfect font that aligns with your creative vision. Perhaps you’ve invested time searching for a unique typeface that captures the essence of your brand, only to discover that it’s not available in Canva’s extensive library. This is a common scenario for designers and entrepreneurs who want their visuals to stand out and convey their message effectively. Fortunately, uploading your own fonts to Canva can elevate your designs and give them that personal touch you’ve been longing for. Let’s dive into how you can quickly and effortlessly upload a font to Canva and use it in your projects.

To upload a font to Canva, go to the Brand Kit in your Canva account, click on “Upload a font,” and follow the prompts to upload your desired font file. Then, you can access it in the text options when designing.

To upload a font to Canva, you first need to be on a Canva Pro, Enterprise, or Education account, as this feature isn’t available in the free version. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

1. Access Your Brand Kit: Log in to your Canva account and navigate to the ‘Brand Kit’ section, which is usually found in the sidebar on the left, or you can access it from your account settings.

2. Upload Your Font: In the Brand Kit, look for the ‘Fonts’ section and click on the button labeled “Upload a font.” This will allow you to choose a font file from your computer. Supported formats are typically TTF, OTF, and WOFF.

3. Confirm Rights: Once you select your font file, Canva will prompt you to confirm that you have the rights to use that font. Make sure you have the appropriate licenses, especially if you plan on using the designs commercially.

4. Using Your Font: After the font is successfully uploaded, it will be available in the text dropdown menu whenever you’re designing. Simply select the text box where you want to apply the font and choose your newly uploaded font from the list.

5. Save Your Work: Don’t forget to save your designs, and remember that your uploaded fonts will remain available in your Brand Kit for future projects!

By following these steps, you can easily incorporate custom fonts into your Canva designs, making your projects unique and tailored to your style. Happy designing!
