How to Upload Images or Video to Canva

In this Canva tutorial for beginners I show you how to start Using your own photos or video in Canva. When creating social media using your own images is the best way to show what you and your business has to offer.

Uploading your own images as a beginner or advanced user of canva is simple and can be done a couple of ways. Either drag and drop the file on to the work area or by choosing upload from the side menu. You can do this with the free version of Canva, but with the pro version you get more storage.

Im getting crazy this evening. How can I upload from the Mac photos app? I have folders in iCloud but I have no access to the photos to upload to Canva. Wha am I doing wrong? Is it, that I have to export them from the app to the Mac desktop and then from there I upload them to Canva? Cant be that uneasy....

Hi there, please HELP? 🙄 I have been using the FREE version of CANVA for some time now and was always able to upload my own videos to create content, (desktop version) but for some reason it won't allow me to upload now. Has something changed? Is this no longer a free option? Any feedback would be appreciated.

My videos are taking a very long time to upload onto Canva, even when I'm using Drop Box to upload them. Any suggestions, or can you provide a link to a video that you may have done on this topic already? Thanks in advance!
