Stop juggling downloads and endless re-uploads between platforms. Integrating design tools like Canva into a workflow can prevent extra work for anyone who uses visuals in their work. Luckily, adding new integrations is often as easy as pressing a button, thanks to intuitive SDKs, stable APIs, and comprehensive walk-throughs.

Linking Canva with different third-party apps and integrations lets you easily access your content (including videos), edit them, and share them according to your strategy. These seamless integrations can help everyone from small business marketers and educators to DIY marketers and video pros create powerful content more quickly for everything from social media and presentations to marketing materials.

Read on to discover 10 of the best Canva integrations, along with some tips on embedding them into workflows to minimize app-switching and optimize collaborations.

What can Canva integrate with? Top 10 Canva App Marketplace options

Canva is a versatile tool that lets you build and edit visual assets, from simple graphics to short videos. Thanks to the following free integrations, you can preview, import, and embed any visuals you create in the Canva app wherever you need it.

1. Vimeo  

Best for: Video production and management

Integrating Vimeo and Canva accounts lets you leverage all the resources of both platforms. For example, you can bring a Vimeo video into Canva, add visual elements, and then send it back to Vimeo to polish and post. 

You'll be able to access your entire Vimeo video library in the left panel of Canva, making it really easy to pull in your existing videos and save it back on Vimeo. This process gives you the best of both worlds: a dedicated graphic design tool and a comprehensive video management platform where you can host and share all your marketing materials.

When your content is centralized in Vimeo, you can also take advantage of other benefits, like advanced analytics to understand how your videos are performing, a customizable video player, robust SEO tools, privacy controls, and translation capabilities.

2. Asana  

Best for: Project management

Asana is an AI-powered project management app used by small businesses, nonprofits, and enterprises. It brings teams together on one platform to streamline workflows and keep everything you need in one place. 

Asana-Canva integration lets you share Canva graphics and collaborate on visual design projects using Asana’s task stories. And integrating Asana and Vimeo means multiple ways to share feedback to save time and effort.

3. Slack (Best for collaboration)

Best for: Collaboration

Slack is a collaboration tool many teams use to host meetings, share documents, and communicate no matter where in the world they’re located. The Slack integration for Canva lets you share Canva designs directly in the channels you already use to collaborate, making reviews and approvals that much easier. You can further boost this integration’s efficiency by using the Canva Connect APIs to streamline the process.

4. Mailchimp 

Best for: Email marketing

Given that email marketing platforms like Mailchimp heavily rely on graphics and images, incorporating compelling visual assets is key to creating more engaging and effective email campaigns. Integrating Canva with Mailchimp lets you directly import assets you create in Canva into your email marketing — and configure Canva ads in both places — saving you from recreating content.

5. Shopify 

Best for: Ecommerce

Shopify is an ecommerce platform that helps you design, build, and market an online marketplace, complete with app capabilities. It can even bolster your storefront’s SEO and AEO so you can be discovered more often by search engines and the latest large language models. 

There are two Shopify integrations in Canva’s Apps Marketplace: one for syncing products and another for importing graphics. By sharing information between Canva and Shopify, these integrations make it easier to edit and publish the assets your storefront needs, such as creating a product video in Canva and then embedding it directly onto your Shopify storefront.

6. Google Workspace  

Best for: Managing assets

Google Workspace is a household name for many teams. Workspaces incorporates a variety of Google products, including Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, as well as Google Drive, a place to store those resources. Canva’s Google Drive integration lets you add media to your designs directly from a Drive folder, giving you access to your team’s central library without risking a resolution downgrade. Add Vimeo’s Google Drive integration to the mix to seamlessly share assets across all platforms.

7. Salesforce 

Best for: Sales visuals

Canva’s Salesforce integration lets you create data-rich visuals with the click of a button. Combining these two platforms creates an automated workflow that bridges the gap between your sales data and your designs, instantly creating visuals like graphs and charts. You can then upload these assets directly to Salesforce and share them as needed.

8. HubSpot  

Best for: Team management

By combining Canva and CRM platforms, the HubSpot integration allows for users to avoid creating dozens of company Canva accounts because developers and designers can send their Canva designs off for review within HubSpot. This means team members can preview and share the designs using HubSpot's marketing tools, such as embedding them in emails and landing pages, and then provide feedback directly within HubSpot, rather than needing to access or even have a Canva account themselves for review. This streamlines the project management workflow and means only those actively designing or developing need direct Canva access.

HubSpot is the great choice of CRM to integrate with Canva, helping you preview and share your designs with the marketing tools already used in your workflows. That way, project management workflow stays streamlined, and you only have to register for the apps you need.

9. Monday.com  

Best for: Process automation

Monday.com helps organizations automate workflows to get more done in less time. Integrating Monday.com with Canva enables teams to seamlessly track design projects and share tasks directly in Canva UI’s sidebar, eliminating time-wasting tab-switching. Coupled with Monday.com’s automation features, this Canva integration can bring big changes to your workflows and significantly reduce the time it takes to approve designs.

10. TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn 

Best for: Social media marketing

There are several social media integrations in Canva’s Apps Marketplace that make it easier to publish your finished designs. Canva also makes it easy to design assets with the specific aspect ratios needed for these platforms. Whichever social media platforms your marketing team uses, joining them to Canva will make marketing on social media a more seamless experience.

Does Canva have API integration?

Canva’s Apps Marketplace offers several dozen prebuilt integrations for popular tools, but you aren’t limited to what’s there. With Canva’s Connect APIs and Apps SDK, developers can create third-party apps that integrate with Canva for a smoother workflow in as many ways as you can imagine. You might build authentications to enforce permissions, previews to make reviews easier, or importing capacities to make sharing assets faster, for example.

How do I make a video using Canva?

Canva offers a lightweight video editor for everyone with several common features, like video trimming, cropping, and merging. Paying for a Canva Pro account opens access to additional features like removing backgrounds and adding captions. 

If you host your videos on Vimeo, streamline production by importing them directly from your Vimeo Library to your Canva account. You can add all the visuals you created in Canva, then send the video back to Vimeo to take advantage of our video translation tools and advanced distribution capabilities

By connecting Canva and Vimeo, you can unlock additional benefits, like AI dubbing and subtitle translation, branded video player customization, and bespoke embed controls, where you can add forms or CTAs directly in the player. Once you’re happy with what you’ve made, publish it on social media, send it via email, or embed on other platforms.

5 ways to streamline your creative process with Canva and Vimeo

Connecting your Vimeo Library with a graphic design tool like Canva makes the most of the video design tools at your disposal. By linking these platforms together, you can create the best video maker for:

  • Saving time: Access your Vimeo video library directly within Canva, or quickly import videos directly from Vimeo to Canva and back again without downloading and reuploading them every time.
  • Streamlining video production: Workflows work best when you can track the project and its assets from beginning to end in one place, letting you access videos and graphics where and when you need them, so you can share videos across platforms.
  • Enhancing content quality and reach: Canva empowers anyone to create great video content, whether you're a small business or anyone who doesn’t have access to creative resources. Vimeo’s hosting features, SEO tools, player customization options, and one-click distribution capabilities complement Canva’s toolkit to help your content reach more audiences.
  • Avoiding mistakes and duplicates: A process streamlined through integration has other benefits: By keeping all visuals and video assets centralized in Vimeo, you avoid creating duplicates, configure consistent permissions, and share projects securely everywhere they’re needed. 
  • Simplifying workflows for teams: Create impactful content faster for marketing, social media, and presentations (even in different languages!). This integration creates a more seamless workflow for marketers, small businesses, and educators.

How to connect your Vimeo Library directly to Canva

You’ll only need to press a few buttons to connect your Vimeo Library with your Canva account. Open the Apps Marketplace tab in Canva and find Vimeo under “Videos and Animation,” or you can simply search for Vimeo in Canva. Alternatively, you can just connect via our Canva integrations page. Once you connect your accounts, a new “Vimeo” tab will appear in Canva’s UI where you can bring assets from your library into your videos. When your project visuals are complete, click “Save to Vimeo” and select a destination folder. Your Canva project will appear in your Vimeo Library so you can share and publish it. You can even send projects back and forth as often as you need to touch up your marketing assets. 

This seamless connection makes creating and managing engaging video content easier than ever. 

Take advantage of all Vimeo has to offer — including security, hosting, and management capabilities — when you integrate with Canva.
