How To Merge Two Canva Documents

A lot of people are interested in merging Canva documents. 

The majority would like to merge presentations.

However, they have no clue how to do it.

Let’s start this tutorial now.

First, you should open a new document and make a design for it.

There are two ways of merging Canva documents.

If you are a Canva work user, click “Add a new page” and then click “Folders.”

Then scroll down, and you will see “Design folders.” 

Click on “All your designs.”

In that folder, you will see all the designs you used in Canva.

Scrolling down, you will see all the presentations and designs you used. 

Then you can go and fetch the document you want to merge into one wanted presentation.

Click on the second document you want to merge, and you will see all the slides. 

Click on the first slide and then click “Add a new page,” and then add another drop from the folder.

This feature is a Canva for work feature, and it’s simple and easy to do.

How to Merge Canva Documents for Students, Small Businesses, etc.

There is another way to merge Canva documents, which is not for work duties.

First, open the first document.

Then, open the second document in another tab.

You will now have two tabs, the first one with one presentation and the second one with the other presentation.

On the first document, go “Add a new page” and add 2 to 3 blank pages.

Then, go to the second presentation and click outside the first page of the Canva document.

Next, you will have to select the first slide of the Canva document.

Then, go on right-click on your mouse and go “Copy.”

Then, go to the first presentation and right-click on your mouse, and go “Paste.”

From the first document, only the written and the pictures will be copied, but not the background.

If you want to add the same background, go to the first document, click the color in the right corner and see the paint’s number.

Next, go to the second document, select the color palette in the right corner and select the wanted color.

You will do the same on every next slide of the document.

Merging Canva Documents as PDF

There is also another way to merge your Canva documents.

Canva only allows making 10 – page documents.

So if you want the document to be longer, you need to save it as a PDF file.

Tap on the right top corner of your screen.

There will appear “Save as.”

Then select “File” type and choose PDF standard or PDF print.

Select the pages which you want to download as PDFs.

Then tap download and save them to your device.

When you download both of the documents, use the free PDF merger to merge both Canva documents.

How to Share a Merged Document Via Canva

After merging the Canva document in Canva (as I explained here: Merging Canva document for students, small businesses, etc.), you can share the form.

In the right upper corner, there is the option “Share.”

You have to click on the “Share option.”

After clicking on the “Share” option, you will have to write one or more names or type the email of the person you want to share the Canva document.

Then, type the names or emails of the people you want to share the document with, you can also write them a message. 

Finally, go to the option “Send.”

Sharing Merged Canva Document as PDF File

After merging and downloading the Canva document as PDF (as I explained here: Merging Canva document as PDF), you can also share that document.

If you want to share the document via email, open your mail and go to the option “Compose.”

After clicking “Compose” in the lower right corner, an icon says “Attach files.”

You can find the merged document in “Downloads” or on “Desktop” on your computer.

After attaching the document, type the email of the person you want to send the Canva document to.

After typing the email, go to the option “Send.”

Best Practices for Merging Canva Documents

There are a few best practices that you can follow when merging Canva documents:

1. Make sure that you have the necessary permissions to edit and merge the documents.

You may need to be the owner or have edit access to the documents that you want to merge.

2. Plan out the layout and design of the merged document before you start.

This will help you to avoid any issues with formatting or layout when you combine the documents.

3. Use the “Import designs” feature to merge the documents.

This will allow you to bring in designs from other Canva documents and retain the formatting and layout of the original documents.

4. Use the “Duplicate” feature to copy and paste elements from one document to another.

This will help you to preserve the formatting of the elements and ensure that they look the same in the merged document.

5. Keep in mind the size and dimensions of the documents that you are merging.

If the documents have different dimensions, you may need to adjust the layout or resize elements to fit in the merged document.

6. Use the “Align” and “Distribute” features to help with the placement and spacing of elements in the merged document.

7. Preview the merged document before you save it to ensure that everything looks as expected.

Make any necessary adjustments before you finalize the document.

About Canva

Canva is a graphic design platform used to create presentations, social media graphics, documents, posters, etc.

It is free to use, but there are also offers like Canva Pro and Canva for Enterprise.

Canva is available in 100 languages.

Melanie Perkins found Canva in Sydney, Australia, and Cliff Obrecht and Cameron Adams.

Melanie found Canva on the 1st of January 2012, and in its first year, Canva counted around 750,000 users.

Curious about the new graphic design platform, Guy Kawasaki – a social media and technology expert, joined the company as a brand promoter.

To this day, Canva counts around 1,500 employees.

In May 2019, Canva had a security breach, where a lot of users were hacked, around 139 million users. 

The hackers leaked data from users, such as real names, usernames, addresses, passwords, and geographical information.

In 2020, Canva announced new products launching in December.

There are now video editing tools, a new platform for third-party app extensions, and free school products.

A student that is under 13 can use Canva if they have appropriate supervision from their parents.

Canva uses a drag-and-drop interface that is very simple to use, but like all tools, you need to practice first to know how it works best.

If you are creating digital assets to use physical products or online products, such as posters or business cards, Canva can help you make their creation quick and easy.
