One Canva feature that people often forget is its ability to make beautiful presentations. With tons of pre-made templates, Canva makes it easy to spice up even the most boring of topics. But, what do you do if you want to use Canva within Google Slides? How do you import them?

To import Canva presentations into Google Slides, design your slides in Canva. Then, either connect your Canva account to Google Drive, or download your presentation as a PowerPoint file. Import it into Google Slides. You can also download your Canva presentation as images to import into your Google Slides presentation.

There are a number of ways to import your Canva presentations into Google Slides. The method you choose will depend on your preferences and what you need to do.

Let’s dive in.

Option 1: Connect Your Google Drive Account to Canva

Canva can connect to Google Drive. This makes it quick and easy to share your presentation with your Google Drive account, which will then open it in Google Slides. There you go!

That said, you may not be comfortable connecting your Canva account to your Google Drive account. If that’s the case, skip to option 2.

If you are comfortable connecting your Canva and Google Drive accounts, here’s what you need to do.

1. Create your presentation in Canva.

Even though your slides will be editable once they’re imported into Google Slides, I still suggest designing them fully in Canva. Especially if you have Canva Pro, this will give you access to all of Canva’s amazing templates, images, design elements to make your presentation awesome.

2. Once you’re done, click the “Share” button and the “More” button

After you’ve finished designing your presentation in Canva, click on the “Share” button in the top right corner. Scroll down until you see the “More” button. Click on it.

3. Choose the Google Drive option

There are a LOT of options to share, save, and download your presentation. Find the Google Drive option within the Save section.

4. Connect your Canva and Google Drive accounts

If your Canva and Google Drive accounts aren’t connected already, you’ll need to go through a series of steps and permissions to connect them. Again, if you’re not comfortable with this, go to option 2.

5. Choose where you want to save your presentation and save it as a PPTX document

Once your Canva and Google Drive accounts are connected, you need to choose where in your Google Drive you want to save your presentation. Choose the folder that works for you.

Next, choose your file type. In order for the conversion to Google Slides to work properly, you’ll want to save your presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint document (PPTX).

6. Use your Canva presentation in Google Slides!

When you share your PPTX file to your Google Drive account, it should open in Google Slides.

The great thing about this option is that you can still edit your presentation! You can edit the text, move things around, and make the changes you need.

But, if you don’t want to connect your Canva and Google Drive accounts, the good news is that option 2 lets you edit your presentations as well. And, it’s only a few more steps than option 1.

Option 2: Import a PowerPoint Presentation into Google Slides

With this method, we’ll be downloading your Canva presentation as a PowerPoint presentation and then importing it into a Google Slides presentation. Let’s walk through it step-by-step.

3. Download your presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation file

There are a LOT of options to share, save, and download your presentation. Scroll down to the “Save” section and click on “Microsoft PowerPoint” and then click on the “Download” button.

Yay! Like option 1, you can edit your presentation in Google Slides. Edit the text, move things around, adjust your presentation as needed.

The first two options we’ve talked about are the quickest ways to import Canva presentations into Google Slides while maintaining your ability to edit them. That said, there are other options you may be interested in, depending on your needs. Let’s quickly review them.

Option 3: import fully designed canva images into google slides.

With this method, you’re going to design your slides in Canva and then move them over to Google Slides in their fully finished forms. These will be static images, so you WON’T be able to edit them down the road.

  • Open a Canva Presentation document. You want it to be “presentation” because the sizing will be similar to what you’ll need for Google Slides, which means you won’t have to mess with it too much when you’re done.
  • Design everything as you need it to be when it’s fully finished. All photos, texts, backgrounds; make sure all of it is there and finalized.
  • Download your Canva slides as png images. 
  • Set up your Google Slides presentation with the number of blank slides that you need. 
  • Drag and drop each png image onto a blank slide and position it so that it covers the entire slide. 
  • Make sure your slides are in the right order and then you’re done!

If you have zero need to edit your presentation in the future, this could be an appealing option for you. Our final options involves static images as well.

Option 4: Import Partially Designed Canva Images into Google Slides

If you don’t want to design your presentation fully in Canva, this could be a good option for you. Maybe you just want to create a unique background image, or import a few unique design elements. You aren’t worried about needing to edit them down the road and want to work on the majority of your presentation in Google Slides.

Here’s what you can do. Again, these will be static images that will NOT be editable in Google Slides.

  • Open a Canva Presentation document.
  • Design any static images and elements that you’re ok with finalizing and not being able to change later.
  • Download your Canva slides as png images.
  • Set up your Google Slides presentation with the number of blank slides that you need.
  • Drag and drop each png image onto a blank slide and position it so that it covers the entire slide.
  • Add any text and elements that you still need in Google Slides.

If you have some static backgrounds, images, or elements you want to incorporate into your Google Slides presentation, this can be a great option.

Use Canva to Present Your Slideshow

Alright, so this is not an option for importing your Canva presentation into Google Slides, but it’s worth talking about.

It’s easy to forget that Canva can be a one stop shop for presentations. If you don’t actually need to use Google Slides, Canva’s own presentation mode is pretty good!

You can also share your presentation and collaborate with others within Canva itself.

In the toolbar, click on the share button. From there, you can type in the email addresses of your collaborators and choose whether you want them to simply view, or full on edit the presentation.

Important note: if you use any Pro elements within your presentation, those on your team with a Canva Pro subscription should be the ones to export or download your project if needed.

If you have the Pro version, you can also share the presentation for use as a template for future projects.

These capabilities are only available within Canva. Once you import your Canva presentation into Google Slides, you’re leaving the Canva ecosystem.

The biggest hurdle with this option is getting all of your team members on board with using Canva. As Canva users, we all know that once people start using Canva, they fall in love with it.

It can be hard to adjust to new platforms though. Even though Canva is easy to learn and use, it’s still an adjustment.

If you can woo your team onto the Canva train though, my best suggestion is to simply make your presentations in Canva and keep them there. As a presentation platform, Canva has a lot to offer.

Presenters working with Canva often struggle to showcase their presentation slides in a format that is easy to share or edit on the go. Rather than converting Canva to PDF, in today’s article, we’ll show you how to convert your Canva presentations to Google Slides, allowing you to enjoy all the benefits of an editable presentation and collaboration features.

Step 1 – Accessing your presentation file in Canva

In order to properly convert Canva to Google Slides, we first need to log into Canva and retrieve the presentation file.

Step 3 – Linking Canva and Google Drive

Depending on the method you used to sign up for Canva, you may be prompted to link your account to Google Drive.

Grant the required permissions so Canva can create and edit files retrieved from Google Slides, and then a new dialogue box will open.

how to save canva presentation in google drive

You can export the presentation to multiple formats and select which slides from your deck you want to export. To ensure maximum compatibility, we’ll select PPTX as the export format.

Step 4 – From Google Drive to Google Slides

Click on the View in Google Drive link to open your presentation in Google Slides.

Although Canva originally flags the file as PPTX, Google Slides may open it as a PPT file, which will be later updated to PPTX once you edit the presentation.

Editable Google Slides presentation from Canva

From this point onwards, you can apply any change you want to your newly generated Google Slides presentation. We highly recommend moving the file to an easy-to-retrieve location, which can be done via File > Move .

No, animations and transitions from Canva won’t transfer over to Google Slides. You will need to reapply them in Google Slides.

Most fonts and styles will be preserved, but if the font isn’t available in Google Slides, it may be substituted with a similar one.

Ensure to download your Canva design in high resolution, preferably as a PPT or PDF, to maintain image quality.

Add the links in Canva using the “Link” option (CTRL+K) before exporting. These links should still function in Google Slides after conversion.

Yes, export your Canva design as PNG or JPG images, then insert each image as a slide background in Google Slides.

Canva videos won’t be embedded directly. You’ll need to re-add the video links or upload videos manually to Google Slides.

While colors should transfer, it’s a good idea to note your color hex codes in Canva so you can manually apply them in Google Slides if needed.

Other visual mediums, like social media posts, cards, banners, etc., can be converted to Google Slides format. Download the design as images or PDFs, then insert them as backgrounds or images in Google Slides.

Canva’s static charts and graphs will transfer, but they won’t be editable in Google Slides. You’ll need to recreate dynamic charts in Google Slides.

How to Convert Canva to Google Slides: Quick Workflow

  • Review each slide for layout or formatting issues.

Best Practices for a Seamless Transition

Preparing canva slides for conversion.

Finalizing your design before exporting is essential. Make sure everything looks exactly how you want it to. Here’s the deal:

You’ll need to choose the best formats for exporting –  PNG, JPEG, or PPTX . Each has its unique advantages. For instance, PNG and JPEG are great for individual images, while PPTX is perfect for entire presentations.

To maintain quality and consistency, ensure that all elements are properly aligned, check for any spelling mistakes, and verify that images are high resolution. This careful preparation minimizes headaches later on.

Handling Design Elements in Google Slides

After importing, manual adjustments for text and layout become crucial. Google Slides might interpret some design elements differently, so tweak them to match your branding and design consistency.

If you’re wondering about how to keep the look cohesive, here are a few tips:

  • Ensure fonts used in Canva are available in Google Slides.
  • Maintain the same color scheme and branding elements.
  • Double-check image placements and resize if necessary.

Optimizing Google Slides After Conversion

Once everything is imported and adjusted, leverage  Google Slides’ built-in tools  to elevate the presentation. Use features like version history to track changes, or explore various templates and themes to enhance the visual appeal.

For collaboration, share the presentation with teammates, allowing them to view, comment, or edit in real-time. Set the appropriate permissions to streamline the workflow and ensure everyone’s on the same page.

Benefits of Google Slides After Conversion

Increased collaboration opportunities.

Google Slides is a game changer with its  real-time editing  capabilities. Multiple collaborators can jump in, make edits, and provide feedback instantly. The beauty is in the instant synchronization.

Sharing options?  You get various permission levels. Whether you want someone to just view, comment, or edit, it’s all there. This flexibility isn’t something you easily get with other tools unless you upgrade to premium tiers.

Simplified Sharing and Accessibility

Sharing directly via  Google Drive  or email? Easy peasy. Just a couple of clicks and you’re done. Your presentation is now accessible from any device with an internet connection.

No more worrying about software compatibility or device limitations. Whether you’re on a laptop, tablet, or your phone, your presentation remains within reach. This kind of accessibility beats traditional approaches hands down.

Enhanced Features in Google Slides

Google Slides comes packed with  built-in templates, themes, and add-ons  to take your presentation up a notch. It’s not just about moving your designs; it’s about enhancing them.

Take advantage of the  version history  feature, which keeps track of every change. This is perfect for ongoing projects, ensuring you never lose previous versions. Plus, the automatic updates mean your team is always working on the latest version without needing to send countless emails.

Common Issues and Solutions During the Conversion Process

Formatting discrepancies.

Let’s dive right in. When importing images or designs from Canva, layout shifts can be a nightmare. It happens; elements that look perfect in Canva suddenly go rogue in Google Slides.

Solution?  After importing, go through each slide meticulously. Align images, adjust text boxes, and ensure everything is in its rightful place. It’s tedious but necessary.

Fonts also like to play tricks. Canva may use fonts that don’t exist in Google Slides , causing alignment issues.

Fix it:  Stick to commonly available fonts when designing in Canva, or be prepared to swap fonts once transferred.

Limitations with Canva’s Design Elements

Not all Canva elements will survive the transition. Some fonts might not carry over, images might go AWOL, and certain design effects could disappear into thin air.

Fonts missing?  Substitute them with Google Slides-friendly fonts. If images vanish, ensure they’re embedded and not linked in Canva before exporting.

For those slick design effects that don’t make the cut, you might need to replicate them using Google Slides’ own set of tools. It won’t be identical, but it keeps the essence.

Adjusting Image and Element Placement

Here’s the deal: PNG or JPEG images need careful placement. They might appear slightly off.

Check alignment:  Manually drag and drop the image into its correct position. Ensure it aligns well with the slide content. If transitions or animations are your thing, you’ll need to re-add them in Google Slides.

These adjustments ensure that what you see is actually what you get. Knowing the intricacies of how to convert Canva to Google Slides means you’re always prepared for these hiccups.

Introduction

Welcome to this guide on how to download Canva designs and insert them into Google Slides! Canva is a versatile graphic design tool that allows users to create beautiful visuals, presentations, and more. Google Slides, on the other hand, is a powerful online presentation platform that enables collaboration and seamless sharing.

Combining the strengths of Canva and Google Slides can help you create stunning presentations with ease. Whether you’re a student, teacher, business professional, or just someone looking to add some flair to your slides, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.

By following the instructions in this guide, you’ll be able to take your designs from Canva and seamlessly incorporate them into your Google Slides presentations. This means you can leverage Canva’s extensive library of design elements, graphics, and templates to create eye-catching visuals, and easily transfer them into Google Slides for seamless presentation creation and sharing.

Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to note that both Canva and Google Slides offer free versions with limited features, as well as premium subscriptions that unlock additional tools and resources. In this guide, we’ll assume you have a basic understanding of both platforms and are using the free versions.

Now, let’s get started with the first step: getting started with Canva. If you’re already familiar with canva, feel free to skip ahead to the appropriate section.

Step 1: Get Started with Canva

If you’re new to Canva, the first thing you’ll need to do is sign up for an account. Head over to the Canva website and click on the “Sign up” button. You can sign up using your Google or Facebook account, or by creating a new Canva account with your email address. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be taken to the Canva homepage.

On the Canva homepage, you’ll find a plethora of design templates for various purposes such as social media posts, presentations, flyers, and more. Take some time to explore the different categories and template options available. Canva offers both free and premium templates, so make sure to choose one that suits your needs.

Once you’ve selected a template or decided to create a design from scratch, you’ll be taken to the Canva editor. Here, you’ll find a wide range of tools and features to customize your design. The editor is divided into different sections such as the sidebar, toolbar, and canvas.

The sidebar contains various options to customize your design, including elements, text, backgrounds, and more. You can drag and drop elements onto the canvas, resize them, change their color, and arrange them in layers. The toolbar provides additional options such as formatting text, adding filters to images, and adjusting transparency.

Canva also offers a vast library of free and paid elements like images, icons, shapes, and illustrations. You can search for specific elements or browse through the categories to find the perfect visual assets for your design. To add an element to your design, simply click on it and drag it onto the canvas.

Once you’re satisfied with the design, it’s time to move on to the next step: downloading your Canva design as an image file. This will allow you to easily insert it into Google Slides. Stay tuned for the next section!

Step 2: Create Your Design on Canva

Now that you’re familiar with the basics of Canva, it’s time to unleash your creativity and start creating your design. Whether you’re working on a presentation slide, social media graphic, or any other visual project, Canva has the tools and features to bring your ideas to life.

Start by selecting the appropriate design template for your project. Canva offers a wide range of templates with different layouts and themes. You can filter them by category or use the search bar to find a specific template. Once you’ve chosen a template, it will open in the Canva editor.

The editor provides you with a variety of customization options to make your design unique. You can change the text, fonts, colors, and backgrounds to match your brand or personal style. To edit the text, simply click on it and replace it with your own content. You can also resize, rotate, and position the text within the design.

Canva also allows you to upload your own images and incorporate them into your design. If you don’t have specific images in mind, you can explore Canva’s extensive library of stock photos and illustrations. Simply search for the type of image you need, and when you find the perfect one, drag and drop it onto your design.

Another great feature of Canva is the ability to add elements such as icons, shapes, lines, and illustrations. These elements can help enhance the visual appeal of your design and make it more engaging. Similar to images, you can search for specific elements or browse through the categories to find the ones that suit your needs.

Once you’re satisfied with the overall look and feel of your design, take some time to review it and make any necessary adjustments. Check for any spelling errors, ensure the elements are properly aligned, and double-check the color scheme and font choices. It’s always a good idea to get a fresh pair of eyes to review your design before finalizing it.

With your design complete, it’s time to move on to the next step: downloading your Canva design as an image file. This will enable you to insert it into Google Slides with ease. We’ll cover this in detail in the next section. Stay tuned!

Step 3: Download Your Canva Design as an Image

Once you’re satisfied with your design on Canva, it’s time to download it as an image file that can be inserted into Google Slides. Canva offers multiple file formats for downloading your designs, including PNG, JPEG, and PDF. Follow these steps to download your design:

  • Click on the “Download” button located at the top right corner of the Canva editor.
  • A dropdown menu will appear with the available download options. Select your preferred file format. For most cases, PNG or JPEG format should suffice.
  • Canva will then process your design and generate the downloadable image file. Once the file is ready, it will automatically download to your computer.

Before downloading, you may also have the option to choose the quality or resolution of the image. Higher resolutions will result in larger file sizes, so consider the intended use and file size limitations when making your selection.

It’s worth mentioning that if you have a Canva Pro subscription, you’ll have access to additional download options such as downloading designs with transparent backgrounds or downloading animated designs. These advanced features can be particularly useful for creating more dynamic and customizable presentations.

With your Canva design downloaded as an image, you’re now ready to move on to the next step: opening Google Slides. We’ll guide you through the process of inserting your Canva design into Google Slides in the upcoming section. Keep reading to learn more!

Step 4: Open Google Slides

Now that you have your Canva design downloaded as an image, it’s time to open Google Slides. If you don’t already have a Google account, you’ll need to create one to access Google Slides. Follow these steps to open Google Slides:

  • Open your web browser and go to the Google Drive website (drive.google.com).
  • Sign in to your Google account or create a new one if you don’t have an account.
  • Once you’re signed in, click on the “New” button on the left-hand side of the screen.
  • A dropdown menu will appear. Select “Google Slides” from the options.

Google Slides will open in a new tab, and you’re now ready to begin creating your presentation. You’ll be presented with a blank slide to start with, and from here, you can add your Canva design to enhance your presentation.

If you already have an existing presentation that you want to insert your Canva design into, you can simply open that presentation instead of creating a new one. Locate the file in your Google Drive, right-click on it, and select “Open with” and then “Google Slides”. This will open your existing presentation in Google Slides.

Now that you have Google Slides open and ready, let’s move on to the next step: inserting your Canva design into Google Slides. This will allow you to seamlessly integrate your Canva design into your presentation and make it visually engaging. We’ll cover this in detail in the next section. Keep reading to learn more!

Step 5: Insert Your Canva Design into Google Slides

Now that you have Google Slides open, it’s time to insert your Canva design into your presentation. Follow these steps to seamlessly integrate your Canva design into Google Slides:

  • In Google Slides, navigate to the slide where you want to insert your Canva design. You can click on an existing slide or click on the plus (+) button to add a new slide.
  • Once you’re on the desired slide, click on the “Insert” tab in the top menu.
  • From the dropdown menu, select “Image”.
  • A dialog box will appear with different options to insert the image. Click on “Upload from computer”.
  • Navigate to the folder where you saved the Canva design image file, select it, and click on the “Open” button.
  • Google Slides will upload the image file and insert it onto your slide.
  • You can resize and reposition the image as needed by clicking and dragging the corners or edges.

That’s it! Your Canva design is now inserted into your Google Slides presentation. You can repeat these steps to insert additional Canva designs into different slides as needed.

It’s important to note that the inserted image is static and won’t retain any editable elements or interactive features from Canva. If you want to make any modifications to the design, you’ll need to go back to Canva, make the changes, re-download the design, and then replace the image in Google Slides following the steps outlined above.

You can also use this method to insert multiple Canva designs into the same presentation, creating a cohesive and visually appealing slide deck. Feel free to experiment with different layouts and arrangements to make your presentation stand out.

Now that your Canva design is integrated into Google Slides, it’s time to move on to the next step: editing and customizing your design within Google Slides. We’ll cover this in detail in the next section. Keep reading to learn more!

Step 6: Edit and Customize Your Design in Google Slides

Now that you have inserted your Canva design into Google Slides, you can further enhance and customize it within the platform. Google Slides offers various editing and customization options to make your design pop. Follow these steps to edit and customize your design in Google Slides:

  • Select the inserted image by clicking on it once. Handles will appear around the image to indicate that it’s selected.
  • From the toolbar at the top, you can adjust the image’s size, position, and rotation using the provided options.
  • You can also use the “Format options” or “Format image” button that appears on the toolbar to make additional adjustments such as adjusting the brightness, contrast, and transparency of the image.
  • If you want to add text or other elements on top of the image, click on the “Text box” or “Shape” icons in the toolbar and then click on the slide to add the respective element. You can then customize the added elements as desired.
  • Google Slides also offers a range of pre-designed themes and templates. If you want to apply a theme or template to your entire presentation or specific slides, click on the “Slide” menu and select “Change theme” or “Apply layout”. Choose from the available options and see how it transforms your design.
  • To further customize the slide layout, you can add additional content, such as text boxes, shapes, or images, by selecting the respective options from the “Insert” menu.
  • Additionally, you can change the background color or add a background image to your slides by selecting the “Background” option from the “Slide” menu.

These are just a few of the customization options available in Google Slides. Take some time to explore the different features and experiment with different options to create a unique and visually appealing presentation.

Remember that you can always save your changes as you work by clicking on the “Save” button or using the shortcut Ctrl+S (Windows) or Command+S (Mac). This will ensure that your progress is saved, and you can easily pick up where you left off.

With your Canva design now customized in Google Slides, you’re ready to impress your audience with a visually stunning presentation. Take the time to review your slides, make any final adjustments, and practice your presentation delivery.

In today’s digital world, presentations are an important tool for effective communication. Canva and Google Slides are two popular platforms that offer a wide range of options for creating visually appealing presentations. However, there may be situations where you need to convert Canva presentations to Google Slides for collaboration or compatibility reasons. In this article, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of converting Canva presentations to Google Slides without compromising design or layout.

Exporting the Canva Presentation
