Share via email
We make it easy to share your design with anyone who has an email address, without having to attach or upload anything.
There are two ways to share your Canva designs over email, depending on which version of the editor you’re using. Head over to our article about Canva 1.0 and 2.0 to find out which version you’re using.
note: For the recipient to be able to edit the design you are sharing, they must have a Canva account.

To share your design via email in Canva 2.0:

- Change design accessibility by toggling the drop-down arrow and choose between Invite people to edit or Invite people to view.

note: Setting the design accessibility to “Can edit” gives full editing access. This means any changes made by the person you shared the design with will overwrite what you’ve done.
After processing your design, the people whose email addresses you entered will receive an email from Canva in their inbox with a link to check out your design. If they have a Canva account, they’ll be able to like and comment on your design.
