[@sandeepsingla3212]

There is a drawback while create in bulk - we have to adjust manually text , in data some text is long and some is very short - it should be auto adjusted accordingly to the text size

[@Arunkumart]

Create the first image with a long text and adjust font or text place holder.

[@DarioMikulic1975]

​@@Arunkumarthow

[@MaryHardymsmary_h]

@@DarioMikulic1975use long text, make adjustment, process data.

[@cricedesigns]

If they had more font sizing options such as VW or clamp, that would be better. As mentioned starting with your longest text for your template is your best option. Also making sure that the width of the text box is approximately the width of your text helps. Instead of all these duplicate tutorials on stuff in the help articles of the product, why not dig deeper and add some value. It's like a trick This is a Canva feature. Canva credit. Now if you could explain how you can upload images and then find the URL that is established for them so you can use those in your spreadsheet, that would be adding value. Meanwhile I gotta sift through 30,000 videos where people are just showing you how to do something that you could figure out from just clicking the buttons

[@sourcemn8240]

LaShonda! Thank you for this video! It's a relief to know I can do this kind of thing in Canva. I have done a test of your video and I'm super excited to use this for our upcoming fundraiser, to create the name tags for each golfer at the benefit. But I'm wondering if I can populate a template from Avery Labels (5395) that has the names tags set up for 8 labels to an 8.5x11 sheet. This would be a similar thing if you wanted to set up several business cards on an 8.5x11 to run several to cut apart. I hope I'm making sense!

[@jzealmedia]

That background soundtrack. Awesome.

[@shelahjohnson3037]

Thank you for the fantastic tutorial! I would very much like to see this Bulk Create expanded. For example, what does it look like when you have to go back at a later date and add a new name for example. How do you schedule a string of five slightly different social posts? How do you save the data that you entered manually so you don't have to go back and rebuild the whole thing again? Despite everyone saying how easy this is, my experience so far has been painful - and I'm not sure why. I have built four different folders, one for each county. Each county has 3 - 8 different posts. Each post has two areas where the copy changes. I have built an Excel spreadsheet that serves as the campaigns dashboard which includes the unique copy. I have built just as you showed and it works the first one, but not the subsequent ones. In short, I have 24 posts divided into four counties, each with a unique copy that needs to be scheduled multiple times through 60 days. At this point, the Bulk Create feature is a poor version of a CRM system.- I bring this to you because I absolutely love your teaching style and am in hopes you can teach me. :)

[@FlowersNL]

I am so happy that I found your youtube video, THANK YOU, It saved me so much time. There's only one question. How can I take control of the name of the output files? Now Canva it's giving the file name the number of the imput record.

[@LaShondaMBrown]

If you tap on the design, the “page name” for each design is how you edit the file name when you download it

[@brendajohnson877]

I love that you can have all the names input for place cards. However, I have four up (to be able to print out on Avery 5302 small tent cards). How can I get it to put the next name in the next card rather than inserting the same name in all four cards and then a separate page for each name (four cards each)? Do I need to just create a single place card and have it bulk create that way? If so, how can I get those to go four-up to print out on the Avery sheets?

[@Airbnb2Video]

this i already know what I would like to know is how to batch image effects eg a blur effect to place on the background of every image.

Can you also create hyperlink with the bulk feature? Let’s say that I have a column with LinkedIn URL and I want to have an hyperlink named “LinkedIn” in the template.. is it doable?

[@yoseh5693]

It seems like the bulk upload has a character limit for each cell; can this feature be used to bulk upload bios?

[@LaShondaMBrown]

I would bulk create the content that's similar for most people and add the bios one by one. This way you can make adjustments based on different amounts of copy per person.

Hi, thanks for the video. I am looking for a way to import 20 images (all at once) right onto the canva on the right. I am currently click 1 by 1 and its taking too long. Is there anyway where I can use the bulk import feature but only to import the images onto the canva (design) side so that I can avoid clicking and dragging 20 times at once. Please note that I do not need text on the canva its just the image. I know how to otherwise "connect data and import" but I do not know how to import an image only. Thank you so much.

Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to upload images to bulk create using a CSV file? I want to upload several hundred pictures to bulk create. It works by manually entering the data, but it's not efficient to select every image individually. Instead I tried to do it with a CSV file. However, I don't know how to format the csv file so that CANVA recognize that it has to import a picture and not text. I tried naming the columns of the csv file, Image, Picture... However Canva alway recognize the picture names as text and they cannot be linked to a Frame. Is there a way to tell CANVA that the CSV value is the path to an image?
