This article will guide you how to connect from Canva to our platform. After a successful connection, you can view and use our Designer QR Codes in your Canva projects.
What is Canva?
Canva is a web-based graphic design platform that allows users to create visual content like social media posts, presentations, posters, and more using drag-and-drop tools and customizable templates - in contrast to Photoshop no design experience needed for using Canva.
How the Integration works
Our QR Code Platform provides a Canva plugin app that is embedded in your Canva workspace. Our plugin app then connects to our QR Code Platform via your API Key.
How to connect your QR Code Account to Canva
1. Login into your account and copy API Key
Head to our website and login as a user.
Once logged in you will see the main menu of the left. Click on API. On the API page you will see the API Key. Copy the key to your clipboard - we will need it later.
Click on menu API and copy the API key2. Create a new Canva design
Now log into your Canva account. Then either create a new design or open an existing one.
3. Connect to our Designer QR Code App
In your Canva design on the left toolbar click on Apps and then enter Designer QR Code into the search field.
Find our Designer QR Code app in the search results and click on it. In the popup click on the button Open.
If you are not already in the Designer QR Code app in Canva click on it in the left toolbar. Then click on Connect to open the Authentification popup. Then paste the API Key you copied before and click on Connect.
4. Browse through your Designer QR Codes
Once logged in you see a list of all your QR Codes and media files (.jpg, .png & .gif) from your user.
Find a specific QR Code or media file by entering something into the search field. The list will be automatically filtered.
5. Embed a Designer QR Code in your Canva Design
Once you've found the QR Code you want to use you have 2 options to proceed. Either directly use it in the currently open design or upload it to your Canva uploads library for later use.
If you want to use the QR Code directly in your open Canva design just click on the bottom right button of the QR Code in the list. The QR Code will then appear in your Canva design on the right.
Additionally save QR Codes in Uploads
If you instead want to "just" upload the QR Code to your Canva Upload library for future use, click on the left upload button.
After you clicked on the left upload button you can find the uploaded QR Code in the Uploads menu on the left side. You can use it now in your future Canva designs like any other upload you have in your Canva Upload library.
Congratulations, you successfully connected Canva to our QR Code platform and used your QR Codes in your Canva design!
