No wonder it’s one of the most popular design programs out there! But Canva can do more than help you create stunning visuals. It can also be a powerful content planning tool – if you know how to use it.
In this post, we’ll show you how to use the Canva content planner so you can plan and design your content like a pro! Ready to learn more? Let’s get started!
Choose Your Template
The first step is to choose a template. Canva offers a range of templates for different social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest.
You can also select from a mix of specific content types, such as blog posts, infographics, social media posts, and more.
Once you’ve selected a template, you can start customizing it to suit your needs.
Add Your Content
It’s time to add your content once you’ve picked a template. Canva makes it simple to incorporate text, photos, videos, and other elements into your design.
Click on the element you want to add and then upload or select the content you want to use.
You can also add links, call-to-actions, and other components to make your design more interactive.
Edit Your Design
Once you’ve added your content, you can edit it to make it look exactly the way you want.
To modify an image, first click on it, then from the toolbar that opens, select “Edit.” Crop, rotate, and edit the photo from there.
To edit a video, click on the video and then click on the “Edit” button in the toolbar that appears. After that, you can trim the video or add text overlays.
4. Save and Share Your Design
Once you’re happy with your design, click the “share” button in the top right-hand corner. Canva will then give you different options. You can publicly share your design with different access: anyone with the link can view, comment, or edit.
You will also have quick links to the template, to the presentation, to the studio where you can present and record as well as to the view-only access.
Further down, you have the options to download, share on your (connected) social media accounts, print your design, and so much more!
5. Schedule Your Content
Now here’s the really cool part: you can use Canva content planner to schedule your content!
If you’re planning on sharing your content on social media, Canva makes it easy to schedule your posts. Just click the “share” button then share on social and you can select the “schedule” option. However, please note that this option is only available on the Canva Pro Plan and you must connect your pages/accounts before you can schedule.

6. Analytics and Insights
Canva also provides a variety of stats and insights to help you track the performance of your content. Click the “insights” tab on the top menu to access these features.
You can see how many people have viewed your design, how long they spent looking at it, and where they came from. You can also see which elements of your design are getting the most attention.
This information can aid you in determining what content is resonating with your audience and what isn’t.
