Use and Customize a Canva Template

The Canva Home screen shows you all of your designs from the past, designs shared with you, and access to the Trash for deleting old designs you no longer need. Also on the Home page, you’ll find all of the available Canva templates for creating new designs.

Create Your Own Canva Design Templates

There are many reasons why you might want to consider creating your own Canva design templates. For example, it’s helpful to have a template when you want to create a social media post each week instead of recreating it each time. Or, you might want to create different versions of your logo for later use. Whatever the case may be, before you create your own templates from an existing design, you’ll need to create a Canva folder to store them in.

Make a Simple Copy of a Canva Design

If you simply wish to copy an existing design without creating a template, it’s easy to do from the Home screen. Locate the design you wish to copy, select the ellipses in the corner of the image, then select Make a Copy. Canva will duplicate the design without opening a new design screen.
