Design with Canva on Zoho Social

Design with Canva

Canva is a visual design platform widely used by marketing teams to create social media creatives with ease. It helps users design posts, stories, and other visual assets using ready-made templates and simple editing tools.

You can quickly create designs for social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, X, and more, using preset templates and graphic elements.

The Canva integration in Zoho Social allows you to access Canva directly from the application. When you choose to design using Canva, it opens in a new browser tab where you can create or edit your design. Once completed, the design can be added back to Zoho Social for publishing or engagement.

Feature Availability

Canva integration is available only for Professional, Premium, Agency and Agency plus plans.
