How to Add Links in Canva?

There are plenty of creative ways you can use Canva to your advantage. You can create resumes, social media posts, cover photos, Instagram stories, graphics, logos, blog posts, and many more designs. Apart from the option to create virtually anything, Canva also offers numerous tools you can use to enhance your designs – text, colors, fonts, effects, images, comments, and links.

It’s possible to add links to any element on your design, whether it’s a word, image, or animation. This feature allows you to link your design to another website, where you can provide more information, advertise a product, take customers to your social media platforms, and more. You can even add clickable links on saved PDF files you created in Canva.

The process of adding links in Canva is relatively straightforward, and it only requires a couple of quick steps. We will show you how to do it on different devices.

Start a new project or open an existing one.
Click on the element where you want your link to be.
Go to the link icon in the upper-right corner of your screen.

Note: If you don’t see the link icon, then go to the three dots in the upper-right corner of your screen, and then you’ll see the option to add a link to your design.

Select “Apply.”

That’s all there is to it. Now when you click on the linked element, you will immediately be taken to the website.
