Has anyone successfully been able to import a word document into Canva that’s 80 pages long, it’s a catalogue. Would it be best to start it in Canva and not use word? The catalog is around 80 pages and I need all the text to flow and the ability to add photos. Any help is appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to edit images (for example, images taken from Google) in Canva. However, when I upload them, I'm unable to edit the existing text or individual elements within the image.

Is there any tool or method that can help convert an image into editable text/elements, so I can modify it more easily?

Thank you!

So before I absolutely crash out over the extremely broken and useless Canva AI Support, I need some help from anyone on the Reddit. I have created an amazing template for my graduation announcement that is double sided. I want to use the Print Shop. It says I need a 4 page minimum. Canva AI Support said I am potentially using a design that is meant to be folded. It offers to help me find an Invitation template that isn't foldable so I won't have to succumb to the 4 page minimum. Upon following the AI Support instructions, as well as taking its suggestions, I still found myself dealing with the same issue. I'm tired of both myself and the AI sounding like a broken record. I will also email the Canva Support email as well, but I'm utilizing the Reddit.

I started in windows movie maker to edit clips down and add music.

I was considering jazzing up the video in Canva with: intro, credits and bits in video.

Any thoughts or tips from people who use canva video?

I have a mood board with about 10 images on it that I have cropped inside canva. If I use the shadows from inside canva, they do not line up.

It is time consuming to go back and correct the sizes of the photos, once I have decided the layout. I have seen some tutorials that show you how to download a png and layer it, but you need to do that 10 different times as it is only cropped to the original size.

There has to be an easier way.

Boa noite a todos. Sintam-se cumprimentados. 🤲🏾

Sou um jovem de 22 anos, residente em Moçambique 🇲🇿, muito curioso quando o assunto é Internet e tecnologia. Tenho vontade de desenvolver habilidades que possam gerar renda e ajudar na construção dos meus futuros negócios, principalmente na área de marca, identidade visual e posicionamento digital.

O meu maior problema não é a falta de informação, porque hoje existem muitas ferramentas gratuitas como YouTube, Inteligência Artificial e outros recursos. O desafio está no excesso de pensamentos, dúvidas e dificuldade em organizar as ideias e saber exatamente por onde começar.

Graças a Deus, tenho vontade de aprender e facilidade em lidar com tecnologia e Internet. Porém, estou com dificuldade em desenvolver essa habilidade específica, que considero muito importante para o meu crescimento pessoal e profissional.

Tenho muitos planos e ideias na cabeça, mas ainda não consigo colocar tudo em palavras de forma clara. Por isso, peço humildemente a ajuda de vocês com dicas, orientações e ideias que possam me ajudar a encontrar um caminho mais organizado.

O meu objetivo é construir uma vida melhor para mim e para a minha família. Acredito que aprender essa habilidade será essencial para criar mais serviços, melhorar a gestão dos meus negócios e também evoluir na criação de conteúdo para expandir os projetos atuais e futuros.

Espero que, da próxima vez, eu consiga explicar tudo de forma ainda mais clara, simples e objetiva.

Muito obrigado a todos pela atenção e apoio.🤲🏾

Can anyone give me any tips/ tutorials that can help improve my skills on Canva. I am using the FREE version of Canva.

I use Canva for my sports clubs social media posts

Hi everyone,

I’m a computer engineer working at a company where I’m also responsible for a large part of the social media content production. The problem is that I’m not a designer or video editor, and I don’t really have enough time or creative background to consistently produce polished, modern, corporate-looking content.

Right now, I need to create two main types of content:

Visual posts / posters / announcements

These usually include event or campaign information, dates, prices, contact details, and some promotional text. I can find photos for these designs, but I would prefer not to rely too much on obvious AI-generated “AI slop” images. I want the designs to look professional and trustworthy, not cheap or generic.

Short videos / reels / social media clips

I have a lot of high-quality videos available, plus many videos sent by customers. I want to turn these into clean, modern, engaging short-form videos. Sometimes these videos are for promotion, sometimes they are just for engagement. Ideally, I want something that can help me pick useful clips, combine them, add transitions, music, text, subtitles, and make the final result look good without spending hours manually editing.

Here’s what I already have:

Canva Pro

CapCut Pro

A lot of high-quality video material

Customer-submitted videos

Access to photos for posters and announcements

I know Canva Sheets and Google Sheets exist

I’m comfortable with technical tools, APIs, scripts, automation platforms, etc.

I’m aware of tools like n8n, Make, Zapier, and similar automation platforms

What I’m trying to figure out is the most practical workflow.

I don’t necessarily need a fully autonomous AI system that creates everything from scratch. In fact, I’d rather use my existing media assets and let AI/automation help with structure, editing, layout suggestions, resizing, captions, repetitive design work, and content organization.

My questions are:

Can Canva Pro and CapCut Pro realistically be enough for this if I build the right workflow?

Is there a way to use Canva templates + Google Sheets / Canva Sheets to semi-automate announcement posters without needing Canva Enterprise API access?

Are there any good automation workflows with n8n, Make, or other tools for this kind of social media production?

Are there any open-source GitHub projects that help automate poster generation, video editing, CapCut drafts, or social media content pipelines?

What would be a realistic workflow for someone technical but not design-oriented?

Should I focus on building a template library first, then automate around it?

For videos, should I stay inside CapCut/Canva, or use another AI clipping/editing tool before final polishing?

My goal is not to spam low-quality AI content. I want a repeatable system that helps me produce professional-looking social media posts and videos faster, while still keeping human review and brand consistency.

I’d really appreciate any advice, tool recommendations, workflow examples, GitHub repos, or practical experiences from people who have solved a similar problem.

Thanks in advance.
