How to Hyperlink in Canva
Welcome to Ben’s Experience! In this post, we will guide you through the process of adding hyperlinks in Canva. If you’re new to Canva or looking to enhance your design skills, this tutorial is perfect for you.
Step 1: Create a New Design
Start by visiting the Canva website at canva.com. For this demonstration, we’ll create a new design using an Instagram post template to get a square blank template.
Step 2: Understanding Hyperlinks in Canva
It’s important to note that hyperlinks in Canva only work on PDFs. They do not work on images like PNG or JPG, or on videos. Keep this in mind when planning your design.
Step 3: Adding Text
Next, add a piece of text to your design. You can either type out new text or edit existing text. To add a hyperlink, you need to highlight or select the part of the text you want to link. For example, let’s hyperlink the word “link.”
Step 4: Adding the Hyperlink
Once you’ve selected the text, look for the link icon in the toolbar. Click on it to open the hyperlink settings. Enter your destination link, such as google.com, in the provided field. Click the “Done” button to apply the hyperlink.
Step 5: Exporting the Design
To ensure the hyperlink works, export your design as a PDF. Click on the download button and select PDF as the format. Open the exported PDF and test the hyperlink by clicking on the linked text. It should take you to the specified destination, such as google.com.
Conclusion
Hyperlinking in Canva is a straightforward process that can enhance your designs, especially when creating interactive PDFs. Remember, hyperlinks won’t work on images or videos, only on PDFs.
