Canva is a popular graphic design tool that allows anyone to create professional-looking designs. One of the best aspects of this tool is its customization features, especially where fonts are concerned.
Adding your own fonts to Canva is a straightforward process, although it’s only available to Canva Pro users. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you navigate this process:
Step 1: Open your Canva Pro Account
The first step is to log in to your Canva Pro account. If you don’t have one, you can upgrade your free account to a Pro account.
Step 2: Go to the Brand Kit
After logging in, navigate to your brand kit by clicking on the “Brand Kit” option in the left panel.
Step 3: Upload your Font
In your brand kit page, go to the “Uploads” section. You will see a button for “Upload a font”. Click on this button and select the font file from your device. Be sure to upload the font in the correct format – either .otf or .ttf.
Step 4: Agree to the Terms
Before you can use the font, you’ll need to agree to Canva’s font upload terms. This means you have permission to use the font, and it does not infringe on any copyrights.
Step 5: Enjoy your New Font
Once you’ve completed the upload and accepted the terms, your new font will be available in the font dropdown menu on the Canva editor. You can now start designing with your new font!
Here’s a code snippet of what the addition of the font might look like:
function addFontToCanva(fontFile) { // Navigate to brand kit clickOn('Brand Kit'); // Go to uploads section clickOn('Uploads'); // Click on upload a font clickOn('Upload a font'); // Select the font file selectFile(fontFile); // Agree to the terms clickOn('I agree to the terms'); }
And that’s it! You have successfully added your own font to your Canva Pro account. With this feature, you can truly make your designs unique and in line with your brand’s identity.
