T2MTU: Embedding a Canva Document into a Canvas Page
by Amanda Dills
4/9/24
In this week’s Tuesday Tune Up, we’re going to show you how to elegantly embed a Canva document into a Canvas course page. If the Canva document you are embedding is only one-page, then it will show up like a plain (clickable) image in your Canvas course.
Click the video below for a video tutorial, or keep scrolling for more information.
(P.S. If you really want to deep-dive into Canva/Canvas content, I would suggest signing up for ID3’s “Canva in Canvas” summer workshops, being offered June 11th and July 16th (click the dates for a direct link to register).
Adding a Canva Design to Canvas
Step 1: Create your design within Canva. If want the design to look seamless on the page, make it a single-page design.
Step 2: In the Canva “Share” menu, select “More” if necessary, and then select “Embed.”

Step 3: Click “Copy” on the button for the “HTML embed code” option.

Step 4: There are two main ways you can add embed code into a Canvas page.
Option 1 (recommended if the embedded image is the ONLY thing on your page):
1. Click the “HTML EDITOR” button below your text editor box to switch into HTML mode.

2. Paste the code you copied previously into this view; then click the same HTML button again.
Option 2 (Recommended if your page has other elements on it as well)
a. Make sure your cursor is located in the textbox where you want the Canva embedded image to be added.
b. Insert > Embed

Once the embed code has been added you can save and/or publish your Canvas page like normal. Any edits that you make to the Canva document will (eventually) show up in the Canvas course as well, though there definitely is a several-minute lag on on this.
