Canva Tips & Tricks: How to Create Clickable Links in Canva

[@OceaniaFootballCenter]

When I post canva's link on Facebook the image I created do not embed. The embed image is canva's logo. How can I solve that?

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thanks for watching the video. I need a little more detail in order to answer your question fully. If you post a Canva link it's going to show Canva's logo if you are embedding because it is still hosted on Canva's site. An embed code is not used for Facebook, but for a website. Try downloading the image and placing it on a page on your website and then share that link that your website gives. That way you 're able o change the social sharing image to your preference. Hope this helps!

[@reneeblack5504]

The video is great! Is it possible to shorten a long hyperlink in your canva design?

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thanks for your feedback. If you are linking within the document itself, there's no need to shorten it because people will not see the link. They will only click on it. If you're referring to shortening a Canva link if you're sharing a Canva design as a template or something like that then yes you can shorten that link. You'd use the same thing you would use to shorten any url. If you need to find a url shortener just type in "url shortener" on Google and you will get a list of different ones to use. I like to use www.shorturl.at and bitly.com. I hope this helps.

Does it have to be a PDF? Can I do it with a png file? Whats the best way (best file) to add a link to then share as a photo on social media?

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

No to share on social media it has to be a png or jpg if a picture but you can share a pdf with a picture if you share the picture but the link links to the pdf either through Dropbox, Google Drive or some other way. There are tons it just depends on your needs.

[@ericaatlantahomes]

Thank you for posting. This was a tremendous help! I was able to add the link to the design, but I'm having a problem getting the link to work after posting to social media (FB). Any ideas?

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thanks for tuning in. The links are ONLY clickable as a pdf. If you're posting as any other format it is not clickable. I hope this helps.

[@ericaatlantahomes]

[@lilieanlim5410]

Hi can I use this function in mp4 video format using canva? If yes, do I need to download the mp4 video first before posting it to social media now that canva is able to directly connect to them now? Thanks

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thanks for tuning in. If you're asking if the links will be clickable in video format the answer is no. Links are only clickable in pdf format or if you share the item created as a website using Canva's link.

[@lilieanlim5410]

@@Thedigitalmidwife Thanks. When I save the file as pdf and using share function in canva's website to social media platforms， only then the clickable link function that is in the pdf file will works? Just for more clarification. Thanks n appreciate your help.

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

@@lilieanlim5410 Yes one or the other. You don't have to do both for it to work. A pdf cannot be posted to social media directly, but you can link to it via the "share as a website" feature canva has. So not the actual pdf can be shared to social media but you can link to it several different ways as well as create an opt-in form to get more leads then deliver the pdf via email.

[@janetn.williams5332]

Thank you, hope it works. I'm guessing the document would need to be outside of Canva to work?

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

YOu're welcome. It can work inside or outside of Canva. If you share it as a website then it will work inside of Canva. If you download it as a PDF then it will work outside of Canva.

Hi Tamell, Thanks for the video. I created an email signature for outlook with clickable links; however, it's not uploading correctly. I'm getting an error on upload when uploading PDF. Can I email you?

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Yes, if the link you use goes to a program that will call for them, but it works for whatever links you place there.

[@HelenaJehnichen-Hypnotherapist]

hello, thank you for your video. I have followed your suggested steps for adding a link to my Facebook cover and KZbin channel art BUT when I upload them, the links are not clickable. I downloaded them as a png file, also have tried as a jpeg . Would you have any suggestions?

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thank you for following the tutorial. I love to receive feedback on what worked and what didn't work. Yes links are only clickable in PDF format, not PNG or JPG file format. When uploading to Social Media or in an email when using PNG or JPG formats you'd need to place the links for the call to action. I hope that clears up any confusion.

[@mihrimahsultan749]

Hi there. Really good video. I was wondering if you could tell me how I can make clickable links in a JPG file? Thanks..!

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thank you for tuning in. Links are only clickable in a pdf (when using Canva). You can make a picture inside of a pdf file clickable by adding a link to the picture, but to my knowledge, I do not think you can make a jpg clickable just by itself, definitely not in Canva. I hope this helps.

[@ramnaths4326]

Any other tool or App which has a facility to click a link or button on an image file

[@varshinivarshini4634]

Can we do that in phone I am not able to get it as jpg

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Yes, if you're sending the link to someone who is on their phone the link is clickable. Jpg's are not clickable on desktop or mobile.

[@joylangomez1981]

Thanks Tamell. I have solved my puzzled mind now :) Ready to post my FB Cover :)

Awesome Amihan! Let's get it!

[@nownzengifts3802]

Can link within same document I.e table of contents

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thanks for tuning in. At the present time of me responding, I am not sure that is possible within the same document, but you'd have to create separate document files and link that way. I hope that helps.

[@BarbDesautelsCalgaryRealEstate]

I love the video. I would like to use these links on Facebook and Instagram, is it possible or does it need to be in an email or website? Thanks so much.

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thanks for tuning in. It is possible to link to your Facebook or Instagram from whatever you create in Canva, but no it is not possible to use this program on Social Media other than publishing it as a website. If you'd like to discuss further I invite you to a free 15 minute discovery call to discuss this question a bit further. tamellgreen.as.me/15minDiscoverycall

[@truehope287]

It didn't work for me. I wanted to make a picture I uploaded a link but after I follow the steps the picture only behaves as a picture. I'm sure it's me doing something wrong

[@relaxingnoise3598]

I did every step that you show on this video. So, how do I know that the link is clickable since when I click on the link nothing is happening?

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thanks for tuning in. The links are ONLY clickable when used as a pdf.

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

or publishing as a website through Canva

When I attempt to link a text box or image, there is no APPLY button after I enter the URL.

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Yes all you have to do is press enter and it is there. You can check to make sure by going out of it and coming back in to see when you click the link is what you added still there and you will know that it applied. Remember the links ONLY work as a pdf file or if you're making this into a landing page or something similar.

The only issue with clickable PDF's is they don't work on mobile!!!! Desktop only. Unless they've changed that up.

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

I'm not sure. I'm not really a mobile user when it comes to PDF's, but that's a great observation. Thanks for saying that here.

WORKING thx bro

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Bro? LOL Thanks for tuning in. 😀

[@MrThatsdatdude]

You didn't show us how it works because on fb when you click it it brings up the pic not a redirect link

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

Thanks for tuning in. Yes I stated in the video that it ONLY works if you download as a pdf. You cannot place a pdf on social media. Now what you can do is share it as a webpage. It will give you a link to share on social media.

[@aimeelawrence-bespokefurni575]

So true. Plus some people are lazy lol

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

lol

[@beverlyshepard4383]

When I go into canva, I put the address in the link box but the word apply does not appear.

[@Thedigitalmidwife]

I'm not exactly sure which part you are referring to.
