Canva is one of the most user-friendly graphic design programs available, and the main platform we use for designing graphics here at Create and Go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best features they offer is the huge library of Canva templates available\u2013including thousands of free Canva templates. These templates are a great way to get started on your design work, or even just get some ideas and inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t checked out the Canva template library yet, you’re missing out! The variety of templates they offer is crazy and includes so many options you can use for your blog or online business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From social media templates to invoices, infographics to mind maps, there\u2019s a Canva template for pretty much anything you need to design.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing about using a Canva template is that they\u2019re fully customizable\u2013so you can change the font and colors, add or remove elements, and make any other changes you need to match your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since there are so many Canva templates available <\/strong>(including many that you might not expect to find in a graphic design program), we\u2019re covering the best Canva templates for your blog or online business.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re also going to go over premium versus free Canva templates, and whether or not you need to upgrade to Canva Pro<\/a> for the additional design features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, let\u2019s quickly go over how to find and use Canva templates. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t

    Canva Templates 101: The Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Unlike the widely known (and notoriously difficult to learn) graphic design program Photoshop, the Canva<\/a> platform is intuitive and very easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Elements are easy to add, remove, position, resize, copy, paste, etc., and you don\u2019t need special training or a degree in graphic design to use the program.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And if you\u2019re new to graphic design, using Canva templates is a great place to start, since you\u2019ll be able to get professional-quality graphic designs without the cost of hiring a graphic designer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choosing A Canva Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Finding Canva templates is very easy, and there are a few ways to browse through them. Here are the best ways to find them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. In the Canva templates library<\/h4>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Canva<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    You can navigate to the Canva template library using the menu bar at the top of the home screen. Hover over \u201ctemplates,\u201d and then select a category to browse through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once you find a Canva template you like, you can click it to preview the template, and then select \u201cCustomize this template\u201d to use it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Using the Canva search bar<\/h4>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Canva<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    If you don\u2019t want to browse by category, you can use the search bar to find the kind of template you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, you can type \u201cPinterest pins\u201d into the search bar to find a template for your next pin design<\/a>. Or if you’re looking for something more specific, you can include more keywords in your search query, such as “Facebook Earth Day Posts<\/a>” to see ready-made Canva templates just for that focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many Canva template categories also have additional filter buttons that appear at the top of the search results. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So if you search for “Calendars,” you’ll see a list of popular subject filters you can click on, such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Photo, and Birthday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. In the Templates tab of the design menu<\/h4>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Canva<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Alternatively, you can start with a custom design size,<\/strong> and then click on the Template tab in the design menu to find Canva templates that fit your design dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is a great option if you know what size you need your design to be, but aren\u2019t sure what template category to search in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s also a good tool if you just want to browse through templates for ideas, or if you <\/strong>change your mind and want to switch to a different template. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Working With Your Canva Template<\/h3>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Once you\u2019ve chosen your template, you can start replacing images, moving the different elements around, changing fonts and colors, and any other changes you want to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Check out Canva\u2019s learning resources<\/a> if you want to learn more about how to use the different features of the Canva editor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note<\/span>: <\/strong>Something to keep in mind is that many Canva templates have several different elements grouped together. If you want to move or change just one part of that group of elements, you\u2019ll need to ungroup them using the group\/ungroup feature in the Canva editor menu bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Canva Templates vs. Your Own Designs<\/h3>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Of course, you can always create your own designs if you want. Once you get the hang of using Canva, it\u2019s not difficult to bring your own visions to life using the Canva editor and huge library of stock photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But even if you\u2019re creating your own designs, it can be very helpful to browse Canva templates for inspiration and ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Canva also offers style presets, including color palettes, font sets, and combinations of both. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can find these options in the Style tab of the design menu. If you don\u2019t see the Style tab in your design menu already, click on the More tab to find it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once you have created a design you really like, you can save it as a template to use again on your future designs, and even share the template link with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Free Canva Templates vs. Premium Canva Templates<\/h3>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    If you have the free version of Canva, you\u2019ll only be able to use the free Canva templates. Or, to be clear, you\u2019ll be able to use and work with the Canva Pro templates,<\/strong> but you won\u2019t be able to save your designs without a watermark until you upgrade your account to Pro or pay a one-time-use fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Using free Canva templates is a great way to find free elements that work well together since the search filters don\u2019t have a free vs. paid filter option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But are the free Canva templates just as good as the premium Canva templates?<\/h4>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Canva<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    In many cases, yes. There really are a lot of high-quality free Canva templates available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019re less likely to find free multi-page template designs, so if you\u2019re trying to create an ebook<\/a> or other multi-page design using a Canva template, you might consider upgrading your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also use the free trial of Canva Pro<\/a> to make a few designs, and see if you want to keep using the premium features.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But other than that, the biggest difference between the free and paid templates is that the premium templates use premium features and stock photos, while the free templates do not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So while you have a more limited choice of graphics, editing features, animations, etc. than you would with a Canva Pro account, you can still make some really beautiful designs without upgrading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you can\u2019t find the right stock photo in Canva\u2019s library, check out these resources<\/a> to find more beautiful stock photos online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
