Canva by the numbers

The design-to-schedule gap, closed.

Live

design refresh

Edit in Canva; linked assets in Sked update automatically.

Full resolution

on every import

Pick a design in Sked and it arrives as a full-resolution export.

Ideas + Library

two surfaces

Designs become ideas; their previews become media.

Three ways Canva teams use the connection.

Canva designs flow directly into Sked's media library. Pull a finished Instagram post, a LinkedIn carousel, a Pinterest Pin. Schedule without the round-trip through local downloads.

  • Direct design import

    Click the Canva logo in Sked's post creator to pull finished designs or open the embedded editor, without leaving the platform. Template access, brand kits and team folders all available.

  • Brand Kit access

    Your Canva Brand Kit colours, fonts and logos stay linked. Design edits in Canva refresh the asset in Sked.

  • Live version updates

    Edit a Canva design after scheduling; linked Sked assets pick up the new version before publish time.

Works with Google Drive and Dropbox too.

Canva is the design tool; Drive and Dropbox are often the asset library. Sked connects to all three so creative workflows stay where they're sharpest.

New

New: folder sync into Ideas and your library.

Connect Canva and the designs in the folders you choose arrive as ideas, with their preview images alongside them in your media library. Full-resolution export is not part of this sync yet.

Turn a finished design into a finished caption.

The design was the hard part; the caption shouldn't take longer. Give AI Assistance a few keywords and it drafts caption options in your brand voice, with hashtag and emoji suggestions to match. Pick one, tune it, schedule.

  • Multiple caption options from a few keywords
  • Hashtag and emoji suggestions in your voice
  • Drafted in the same composer as the design

Learn which designs actually perform.

Engagement tracked by post type shows which visual styles land with your audience, so next month's Canva templates are chosen on data rather than instinct. Analytics sit beside the calendar; no export required.

  • Engagement by post type, per channel
  • Spot the styles your audience responds to
  • Feed the answer straight back into the next design

How do I bring Canva designs into Sked?

Click the Canva logo in Sked's post creator to pull a finished design into your media library, or open the embedded Canva editor without leaving Sked. Template access, brand kits and team folders are all available.

Do Canva Brand Kit edits update in Sked?

Yes. Your Canva Brand Kit colours, fonts and logos stay linked, and editing a design in Canva refreshes the linked Sked asset before a scheduled post publishes.

Can Sked write a caption for a Canva design?

Yes. Give Sked's AI Assistance a few keywords and it drafts caption options in your brand voice, with hashtag and emoji suggestions, in the same composer as the design.

Common questions

Questions about Canva integration.

  • How does the Canva integration work?

    Connect Canva in Sked, pull finished designs straight into the media library, schedule them without the 'export to Downloads and re-upload' step. Designs stay linked, so edits in Canva refresh the Sked asset.

  • Can the team use Canva templates?

    Yes. Access your Brand Kit, templates and team folders through the connection. Template-first workflows for multi-location and agency teams stay intact.

  • What happens when a Canva design is edited after scheduling?

    The linked asset in Sked updates when you push new versions from Canva. Future scheduled posts using that asset pick up the new version automatically, no republish required before publish time.

  • How do I connect Canva to Sked?

    Click the Canva logo in Sked's post creator and log in with your Canva account. From then on your designs are one click away inside the composer.

  • What exactly arrives in Sked from Canva?

    Direct import brings a full-resolution export of the design into your post. The Beta folder sync works differently: it carries a preview image of each design into your library, so treat it as a browsing surface rather than a print-grade file store.

  • Why schedule from Sked instead of inside Canva?

    Sked adds the operational layer around the design: approval workflows, per-brand workspaces, a unified inbox and analytics across every channel. Design where designing is best, then run the publishing workflow where the rest of your social operation already lives.

  • Does the library only hold Canva designs?

    No. The library is the store for all your social content: Canva designs sit beside photos, video and assets from Google Drive or Dropbox, searchable and labelled in one place.
