Canva Integration
Design in Canva Inside the Post Composer
RecurPost’s Canva integration opens Canva directly inside the post composer. This enables you to design a graphic or choose a Canva template, add it to your post, and schedule it across your client accounts. Moreover, it eliminates the need to download the file from Canva or re-upload it into the separate scheduling tool.
If your agency creates branded graphics for multiple clients every week, RecurPost removes the repetitive export-and-upload step from every post.
No credit card required.
Design in Canva Without Leaving RecurPost
RecurPost integrates Canva into the post composer, alongside its other media sources. This built-in integration streamlines the content creation process by keeping your design workflow within RecurPost. You open a post, choose Canva, and create a design without leaving the composer. Once your design is complete, RecurPost automatically imports it into your social media post draft. Thereby, streamlining your content creation and publishing workflow.
Canva is one of eight media sources in the RecurPost composer. The full set is system upload, Giphy, Unsplash, Pixabay, URL import, Google Drive, Zapier, and Canva. You reach for Canva when you want to design the graphic, not just pull an existing file.
Unlike many social media scheduling tools that require separate design and publishing workflows, RecurPost integrates Canva directly into the post composer. With RecurPost’s Canva integration, you can design social media graphics directly within the post composer. Once the design is complete, RecurPost adds it to your social media post without requiring a download or re-upload.
How the Canva Workflow Runs Inside the Composer
RecurPost keeps the entire design and scheduling workflow on one screen. As a result, you start a post, design the graphic, customize it, and schedule it to your client profiles without switching between tools.
Open a new post
Open a new post in the RecurPost composer.
Choose Canva
Choose Canva from the available media sources.
Design the graphic
Design a graphic or choose a Canva template, and then edit the text and images.
Add it to your post
Add the finished design to your post, and RecurPost inserts it as post media.
Pick profiles and platforms
Select the client profiles and platforms for the post.
Schedule or save it
Schedule the post, or save it to a recurring content library for future use.
For instance, a freelancer managing a retail client can choose a Canva sale template, edit the headline, and add it to a post scheduled for Instagram and Facebook. The design stays inside RecurPost throughout the workflow; therefore, you do not need to download or re-upload the file.
Resize and Tailor Your Canva Graphic for Each Platform
RecurPost treats your Canva design like any other image once it lands in the post, while giving you a built-in image editor and per-platform controls.
RecurPost’s image editor includes platform-specific crop presets. You can create a single square graphic in Canva, then crop it into a Facebook feed image and a Pinterest Pin from the same draft. Plus, you can tailor each post per platform with a different caption, image, and format.
RecurPost’s Canva integration does more than attach a design to your scheduled post. While many schedulers stop after attaching the file, RecurPost lets you adjust the Canva graphic per platform after you import it.
This workflow fits agencies that use one design across multiple networks with different aspect ratios. However, if each network requires a fully separate design, you can create each one in Canva and then import them individually into RecurPost.
Canva Graphics Across Many Client Accounts
RecurPost lets you schedule a Canva graphic immediately or save it to a recurring content library for future use across multiple client accounts. The scheduled post appears on your content calendar alongside the rest of the client’s content plan.
Notably, RecurPost removes a manual step that becomes harder to manage as the number of client accounts grows. Exporting and uploading a single graphic takes little time. However, repeating the same process for 12 clients every week quickly adds to extra tasks. Instead, you can import the design into the composer and schedule it directly to your content calendar without managing a folder of exported PNG files.
When to Use the Canva Integration, and When to Skip It
RecurPost’s Canva integration fits agencies and freelancers who create client designs in Canva and schedule content at scale. You can create your design and schedule it from one place. All of RecurPost’s scheduling features remain available, giving you complete control over your publishing workflow.
However, if your team does not use Canva, the integration is optional. RecurPost’s standard media upload feature supports workflows that rely on uploading completed image files. Likewise, the integration is not the right choice for multi-page design projects, such as brand presentations. Instead, you can create those designs in Canva first and then import the finished assets into RecurPost when they are ready.
When the feature fits
When your team designs client graphics in Canva every week
When you schedule the same Canva design across multiple client accounts
When one design has to fit networks with different aspect ratios
When you save finished designs to a recurring content library for reuse
When it doesn’t fit
Your team does not use Canva and only uploads finished image files
You need multi-page design work, such as a brand presentation
You want a replacement for Canva rather than a workflow around it
RecurPost’s Canva integration does not replace Canva for design because each tool serves a different purpose. Canva handles the design process, whereas RecurPost manages scheduling and publishing. The integration connects both tools in one workflow.
