One Canva feature that people often forget is its ability to make beautiful presentations. With tons of pre-made templates, Canva makes it easy to spice up even the most boring of topics. But, what do you do if you want to use Canva within Google Slides? How do you import them?

To import Canva presentations into Google Slides, design your slides in Canva. Then, either connect your Canva account to Google Drive, or download your presentation as a PowerPoint file. Import it into Google Slides. You can also download your Canva presentation as images to import into your Google Slides presentation.

There are a number of ways to import your Canva presentations into Google Slides. The method you choose will depend on your preferences and what you need to do.

Let’s dive in.

Option 1: Connect Your Google Drive Account to Canva

Canva can connect to Google Drive. This makes it quick and easy to share your presentation with your Google Drive account, which will then open it in Google Slides. There you go!

That said, you may not be comfortable connecting your Canva account to your Google Drive account. If that’s the case, skip to option 2.

If you are comfortable connecting your Canva and Google Drive accounts, here’s what you need to do.

1. Create your presentation in Canva.

Even though your slides will be editable once they’re imported into Google Slides, I still suggest designing them fully in Canva. Especially if you have Canva Pro, this will give you access to all of Canva’s amazing templates, images, design elements to make your presentation awesome.

2. Once you’re done, click the “Share” button and the “More” button

After you’ve finished designing your presentation in Canva, click on the “Share” button in the top right corner. Scroll down until you see the “More” button. Click on it.

3. Choose the Google Drive option

There are a LOT of options to share, save, and download your presentation. Find the Google Drive option within the Save section.

4. Connect your Canva and Google Drive accounts

If your Canva and Google Drive accounts aren’t connected already, you’ll need to go through a series of steps and permissions to connect them. Again, if you’re not comfortable with this, go to option 2.

5. Choose where you want to save your presentation and save it as a PPTX document

Once your Canva and Google Drive accounts are connected, you need to choose where in your Google Drive you want to save your presentation. Choose the folder that works for you.

Next, choose your file type. In order for the conversion to Google Slides to work properly, you’ll want to save your presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint document (PPTX).

6. Use your Canva presentation in Google Slides!

When you share your PPTX file to your Google Drive account, it should open in Google Slides.

The great thing about this option is that you can still edit your presentation! You can edit the text, move things around, and make the changes you need.

But, if you don’t want to connect your Canva and Google Drive accounts, the good news is that option 2 lets you edit your presentations as well. And, it’s only a few more steps than option 1.

Option 2: Import a PowerPoint Presentation into Google Slides

With this method, we’ll be downloading your Canva presentation as a PowerPoint presentation and then importing it into a Google Slides presentation. Let’s walk through it step-by-step.

3. Download your presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation file

There are a LOT of options to share, save, and download your presentation. Scroll down to the “Save” section and click on “Microsoft PowerPoint” and then click on the “Download” button.

4. Open a new Google Slides presentation

Navigate to Google Slides and open a brand new presentation.

5. Choose the “Import Slides” option in Google Slides

Within Google Slides, click on “File” and then choose “Import Slides.”

6. Drag and drop your Canva presentation into Google Slides

A box will appear that will allow you to either drag and drop your files into Google Slides, or find the file on your computer. Find your Canva presentation your just downloaded as a Microsoft PowerPoint file and drag and drop it into this box in Google Slides.

7. Choose the slides you want to import

Google Slides will ask you to choose the slides you want to import. Click on the “All” button, or individually click on all of your slides to import all of them into Google Slides.

8. Enjoy your presentation!

Google will import your slides after your first blank slide, so simply delete that first blank slide. Then, you’re done! You can edit, rearrange, and use your slides seamlessly within Google Slides!

Yay! Like option 1, you can edit your presentation in Google Slides. Edit the text, move things around, adjust your presentation as needed.

The first two options we’ve talked about are the quickest ways to import Canva presentations into Google Slides while maintaining your ability to edit them. That said, there are other options you may be interested in, depending on your needs. Let’s quickly review them.

Option 3: import fully designed canva images into google slides.

With this method, you’re going to design your slides in Canva and then move them over to Google Slides in their fully finished forms. These will be static images, so you WON’T be able to edit them down the road.

• Open a Canva Presentation document. You want it to be “presentation” because the sizing will be similar to what you’ll need for Google Slides, which means you won’t have to mess with it too much when you’re done.
• Design everything as you need it to be when it’s fully finished. All photos, texts, backgrounds; make sure all of it is there and finalized.
• Download your Canva slides as png images. 
• Set up your Google Slides presentation with the number of blank slides that you need. 
• Drag and drop each png image onto a blank slide and position it so that it covers the entire slide. 
• Make sure your slides are in the right order and then you’re done!

If you have zero need to edit your presentation in the future, this could be an appealing option for you. Our final options involves static images as well.

Option 4: Import Partially Designed Canva Images into Google Slides

If you don’t want to design your presentation fully in Canva, this could be a good option for you. Maybe you just want to create a unique background image, or import a few unique design elements. You aren’t worried about needing to edit them down the road and want to work on the majority of your presentation in Google Slides.

Here’s what you can do. Again, these will be static images that will NOT be editable in Google Slides.

• Open a Canva Presentation document.
• Design any static images and elements that you’re ok with finalizing and not being able to change later.
• Download your Canva slides as png images.
• Set up your Google Slides presentation with the number of blank slides that you need.
• Drag and drop each png image onto a blank slide and position it so that it covers the entire slide.
• Add any text and elements that you still need in Google Slides.

If you have some static backgrounds, images, or elements you want to incorporate into your Google Slides presentation, this can be a great option.

Use Canva to Present Your Slideshow

Alright, so this is not an option for importing your Canva presentation into Google Slides, but it’s worth talking about.

It’s easy to forget that Canva can be a one stop shop for presentations. If you don’t actually need to use Google Slides, Canva’s own presentation mode is pretty good!

You can also share your presentation and collaborate with others within Canva itself.

In the toolbar, click on the share button. From there, you can type in the email addresses of your collaborators and choose whether you want them to simply view, or full on edit the presentation.

Important note: if you use any Pro elements within your presentation, those on your team with a Canva Pro subscription should be the ones to export or download your project if needed.

If you have the Pro version, you can also share the presentation for use as a template for future projects.

These capabilities are only available within Canva. Once you import your Canva presentation into Google Slides, you’re leaving the Canva ecosystem.

The biggest hurdle with this option is getting all of your team members on board with using Canva. As Canva users, we all know that once people start using Canva, they fall in love with it.

It can be hard to adjust to new platforms though. Even though Canva is easy to learn and use, it’s still an adjustment.

If you can woo your team onto the Canva train though, my best suggestion is to simply make your presentations in Canva and keep them there. As a presentation platform, Canva has a lot to offer.

How to Convert Canva to Google Slides

Presenters working with Canva often struggle to showcase their presentation slides in a format that is easy to share or edit on the go. Rather than converting Canva to PDF, in today’s article, we’ll show you how to convert your Canva presentations to Google Slides, allowing you to enjoy all the benefits of an editable presentation and collaboration features.

Step 1 – Accessing your presentation file in Canva

In order to properly convert Canva to Google Slides, we first need to log into Canva and retrieve the presentation file.

Click on the Projects folder or browse for your presentation in Recent Designs . Once you click on the right file, it will open inside Canva’s interface.

Step 2 – Sharing on Canvas

Next, click on Share at the top menu, and go to the bottom section of that contextual menu to find the option More . This will allow us to export Canva to Google Slides.

Scroll through the new sharing options available until you find the section labeled Save. In there, click on Google Drive.

Step 3 – Linking Canva and Google Drive

Depending on the method you used to sign up for Canva, you may be prompted to link your account to Google Drive.

Grant the required permissions so Canva can create and edit files retrieved from Google Slides, and then a new dialogue box will open.

You can export the presentation to multiple formats and select which slides from your deck you want to export. To ensure maximum compatibility, we’ll select PPTX as the export format.

Click on Save and the process will start.

Once the process is completed, the dialog box shown in the image below will be displayed on your computer, with a direct link to Google Drive.

Step 4 – From Google Drive to Google Slides

Click on the View in Google Drive link to open your presentation in Google Slides.

Although Canva originally flags the file as PPTX, Google Slides may open it as a PPT file, which will be later updated to PPTX once you edit the presentation.

From this point onwards, you can apply any change you want to your newly generated Google Slides presentation. We highly recommend moving the file to an easy-to-retrieve location, which can be done via File > Move .

No, animations and transitions from Canva won’t transfer over to Google Slides. You will need to reapply them in Google Slides.

Most fonts and styles will be preserved, but if the font isn’t available in Google Slides, it may be substituted with a similar one.

Ensure to download your Canva design in high resolution, preferably as a PPT or PDF, to maintain image quality.

Add the links in Canva using the “Link” option (CTRL+K) before exporting. These links should still function in Google Slides after conversion.

Yes, export your Canva design as PNG or JPG images, then insert each image as a slide background in Google Slides.

Canva videos won’t be embedded directly. You’ll need to re-add the video links or upload videos manually to Google Slides.

While colors should transfer, it’s a good idea to note your color hex codes in Canva so you can manually apply them in Google Slides if needed.

Other visual mediums, like social media posts, cards, banners, etc., can be converted to Google Slides format. Download the design as images or PDFs, then insert them as backgrounds or images in Google Slides.

Canva’s static charts and graphs will transfer, but they won’t be editable in Google Slides. You’ll need to recreate dynamic charts in Google Slides.

How to import canva designs into google slides (step by step).

Once you’ve completed a presentation, it’s easy to learn how to import Canva to Google Slides. This enables you to showcase your work on a widely used platform.

If you need to complete a presentation for school or work, this guide is here to help. In the first two sections, I’ll explain how you can import your finished presentation to Google Slides by connecting your Canva account to Google Drive or without connecting these two accounts. 

Table of Contents

How To Import A Canva Presentation To Google Slides

Step 1: click the “share” button, then click the “more” button.

Once you’re ready to import your design to Google Slides, click the Share button at the top right corner. A list of options will appear. Click on the very last option, labeled More . 

Note: this part of the guide assumes that your presentation is made and ready to go. If you aren’t sure how to make a presentation, see my guide to creating slideshows in Canva first.

Step 2: Click On Google Drive Under The Save Section

After clicking More, you will be presented with additional options. Scroll down to the Save section, then click the Google Drive button . 

If you haven’t connected your Google Drive account with your Canva Account yet, you’ll be prompted to do so. Click Connect Google Drive , then fill in your email and password. When asked if Canva should access your account, click Allow . 

Step 3: Select A Folder On Google Drive To Save The File 

You will now see all the folders in your Google Drive account. Select the folder to which you want to add your design, then click Choose . If you don’t have any folders in your Google Drive account, just click Choose to add the presentation to your Google Drive account. 

Step 4: Select PPTX Under File Type And Click Save 

There is one more step before importing your design. In the last options menu that pops up, choose PPTX under File Type . PPTX stands for PowerPoint Presentation. Ensure all your pages are selected (or select the pages you want to export), then click Save . 

Step 5: Open Up Your Design In Google Slides 

Now that you’ve saved your design to your Google Drive account through Canva, you can find it in Google Slides. Double-click the file inside your Google Drive to open it in Google Slides. 

One of the coolest parts about importing your Canva design to Google Slides is that you can move elements around as much as you’d like. You can send this PPTX to someone without Canva and have them edit it however they like.

How To Export A Canva Presentation As A PowerPoint (To Open In Google Slides)

To save your file as a PPTX, click the Share button in the top right corner, then click More at the bottom of the list. PPTX is not available under the Download section. 

Step 2: Choose The Microsoft PowerPoint Option

With the More options menu open, scroll down about halfway to find the Save section. Click on the Microsoft PowerPoint button . 

Step 3: Choose Your Pages And Click Download 

Before you download your PPTX, make sure that All Pages is selected under Select Pages . If you only want to download certain pages, open the drop-down menu and check the pages you want to download. When you’re ready, click the Download button . 

Step 4: Open Up The File In Google Drive / Google Slides 

Your presentation is now downloaded to your hard drive , and your goal is to upload it to your Google Drive Account. 

To start, open Google Drive and click the New button in the top left corner. In the list that pops down, choose File Upload . Navigate through your hard drive and double-click on the PPTX file. 

The presentation you made in Canva will open up in Google Slides. You can now review your entire presentation and change any element.

How to Import Canva Presentation in Google Slides

The only thing better than Google Slides is Canva! If you want to use the two together, here’s a sleek solution.

You’re creating a presentation. You want to know if you can make it beautiful by starting in Canva but allow others to make edits by switching over to Google Slides.

This is a good question!

Canva has eye-catching presentation templates and millions of photos and videos to add to each and every slide. But not everyone has Canva. And even if they do, not everyone knows how to use it for editing slide decks.

On the other hand, everyone has a Google account and knows—or can quickly learn—how to use Google Slides. So can you switch between the two?

To edit a Canva presentation in Google Slides, export it as a Microsoft PowerPoint file (PPTX) and then import it into Google Slides.

This tutorial will show you how to do this step-by-step, with screenshots.

Part 1: Export the Presentation as a PPTX File From Canva

Step 1: Go to Canva.com , log in to your account, and open the presentation.

Step 2: Click on the “Share” button in the upper right corner of the screen.

Step 3: The “Share this design” dialog window will pop up. Scroll down to the bottom and click “More.”

Step 4: Scroll down and look for an option called “Microsoft PowerPoint” under “Save.”

Step 5: Click the purple “Download” button. The presentation will download to your device as a PPTX file.

As soon as the PPTX file has finished downloading, you can proceed to Part 2, the next and final part of this tutorial.

Part 2: Import the Presentation in Google Slides

Step 1: Go to Google Slides and create a blank presentation.

Step 2: From the top menu, click “File,” then “Import slides.”

Step 3: Go to the “Upload” tab and drag and drop the PPTX file for your Canva presentation into Google Slides.

Step 4: Make sure that the “Keep original theme” checkbox is selected, then click the yellow “Import slides” button.

Step 5: You’re all set! You can now edit your Canva presentation in Google Slides.

Keep in mind that some design elements on your slides may be positioned differently and need some additional alignment.

Final Words

Thank you for reading this far and I hope this tutorial helped!

As you can see, there is no direct integration between Canva and Google Slides. But the workaround—exporting the slide deck as a PPTX file from Canva and then importing it into Google Slides—works quite nicely.

If you found this tutorial useful, chances are you’ll want to know how to import your Canva designs into Google Docs , too.

Thank you this was extremely easy and helpful!

Appreciate you stopping by to say thanks, Amanda! Glad we were able to help.

How to Convert Canva to Google Slides? A Step-by-Step Guide

Table of Contents

Have you created a stunning presentation in Canva but now need to move it to Google Slides? Don’t worry, converting your masterpiece is easier than you think!

This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, ensuring a smooth transition from Canva’s intuitive design platform to the collaborative environment of Google Slides.

Whether you’re presenting to colleagues, students, or a wider audience, this guide will equip you with the knowledge to effortlessly transfer your Canva creation and maintain its visual impact within Google Slides.

2 Methods of Converting Canva to Google Slides Presentations

Method 1: downloading individual slides as images.

1. Locate Your Canva Presentation: Start by opening the Canva presentation you want to convert in your Canva account.

2. Save Each Slide as an Image: Click the “Download” button in the top right corner of the editor.  You’ll be presented with various file format options. For this method, choose either PNG or JPEG, which are both high-quality image formats that work well for presentations.

3. Open Google Slides: Head over to your web browser and launch Google Slides. Sign in to your Google account if needed.

4. Create a New Presentation (or Open Existing): If you’re starting fresh, click on “New Presentation” to create a blank canvas. If you have an existing presentation where you want to incorporate the Canva slides, simply open that presentation.

5. Import Downloaded Images: Now it’s time to bring your Canva slides into Google Slides. Click on “Insert” in the top menu bar, then select “Image.”  This will open a window where you can browse your computer and locate the downloaded Canva slides (PNG or JPEG files) you saved earlier. Select each image one by one and click “Open” to import them into your Google Slides presentation.

6. Adjust Layouts and Add Elements: With your Canva slides now in Google Slides, you might need to adjust the layouts a bit to fit your needs. Use the tools in Google Slides to resize and reposition the images as needed.  You can also add text boxes, shapes, and other elements to further customize your presentation.

Method 2: Exporting as PowerPoint (PPTX) and Importing into Google Slides

1. Open Your Canva Presentation: Just like in Method 1, begin by opening the Canva presentation you want to convert.

2. Download as PowerPoint (PPTX): Click the “Download” button in the top right corner of the editor again.  This time, instead of choosing an image format, select “Microsoft PowerPoint (PPTX).”  This will save your entire Canva presentation as a single PPTX file.

3. Open Google Slides: Launch Google Slides in your web browser, sign in if prompted.

4. Import the PPTX File: Click on “File” in the top menu bar, then select “Import Slides.” In the following window, choose “Upload” and browse your computer to locate the downloaded PPTX file (your converted Canva presentation). Click “Open” to import it into Google Slides.

5. Review and Edit: While Google Slides does a good job of converting PPTX files, it’s always a good idea to review the presentation for any formatting or layout issues.  Use the tools in Google Slides to make any necessary adjustments.

Remember: Both methods have their advantages. Downloading individual slides as images offers more control over each slide’s layout while exporting as PPTX is a quicker option for converting your entire presentation at once. Choose the method that best suits your needs.

• 3 presentations/month free

Why do Professionals Switch from Canva to Google Slides?

There are several reasons why professionals might choose to switch from Canva to Google Slides for creating presentations. Here’s a breakdown of some advantages Google Slides offers:

• Real-time Collaboration: One of the biggest advantages of Google Slides for professionals is its collaborative features. Unlike the free version of Canva, Google Slides allows multiple people to edit and work on a presentation simultaneously. This can be incredibly helpful for teams working on a project together. It’s like sitting in a virtual meeting room for your presentation, where everyone can contribute and refine the slides in real time.
• Seamless Integration with Google Workspace: If you’re already using Google products like Docs and Sheets, Google Slides integrates perfectly with them. This means you can easily copy and paste content between documents, presentations, and spreadsheets without any formatting issues. This streamlines your workflow significantly, allowing you to pull data or text from other projects into your slides without any hassle.
• Accessibility Anywhere, Anytime: One of the biggest advantages of Google Slides is its accessibility. Since your presentations are stored online in Google Drive, you can access them from any device with an internet connection. This eliminates the worry of forgetting a USB drive with your presentation or being unable to work on it due to location limitations. It’s like having your slides readily available in your pocket, prepared for whenever and wherever you need them.
• Version Control and Peace of Mind: For professionals who frequently work on presentations and revisions, Google Slides’ automatic version control can be a lifesaver. Unlike relying solely on “Ctrl+Z” to undo mistakes, Google Slides automatically saves different versions of your presentation. This allows you to easily revert to a previous version if needed, ensuring you don’t lose valuable work due to accidental edits.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Let’s face it, budget is a real concern for many professionals. Google Slides is completely free to use, making it a budget-friendly option compared to the limitations of the free version of Canva. This makes it a valuable tool for presenters from various fields, allowing them to create impactful presentations without breaking the bank.

Closing Thoughts

Converting your Canva presentations to Google Slides is surprisingly straightforward with the two methods explained in this guide. By taking advantage of features like collaboration, smooth integration, and accessibility, Google Slides can help you take your presentations to the next level. So, whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, feel free to explore the power of Google Slides to share your ideas and work effectively with your team.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Convert Canva Presentations to Google Slides

In today’s digital world, presentations are an important tool for effective communication. Canva and Google Slides are two popular platforms that offer a wide range of options for creating visually appealing presentations. However, there may be situations where you need to convert Canva presentations to Google Slides for collaboration or compatibility reasons. In this article, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of converting Canva presentations to Google Slides without compromising design or layout.

Exporting the Canva Presentation

First, save the presentation you want to convert to Google Slides. To do this:

• Open your Canva account and find the presentation you want to convert;
• Click the “Upload” button in the top right corner of the editor;
• From the drop-down menu, select the “PDF – Standard” option;
• Select the page range you want, or select “All Pages” if you want to convert the entire presentation.

After that, click the “Download” button to save the Canva presentation as a PDF to your computer.

Converting PDF to Google Slides 

For this, you will need to:

• Open Google Drive and log in to your account;
• Click on the “+ New” button on the left side and select “Upload File”;
• Find the PDF file you downloaded from Canva and click “Open” to upload it to Google Drive;
• Once the download is complete, right-click on the PDF file and select “Open with” from the drop-down menu;
• Select “Google Slides” to open the PDF;
• The platform will automatically convert the PDF into slides, preserving the content and layout as much as possible.

Review the converted slides and make any necessary adjustments or edits.

Refining the Converted Presentation 

• Check the formatting: Since the conversion process is automated, some elements may require adjustments. Pay attention to font styles, alignment, and spacing so that they match the original Canva presentation;
• Edit the images and graphics: Replace Canva-specific elements with similar elements available in Google Slides. Use the “Replace Image” or “Replace Shape” options to maintain visual integrity;
• Customize layouts and themes: Apply built-in Google Slides themes or manually change the layout to achieve the look you want;
• Align text boxes: Double-check that text boxes are properly aligned. Make the necessary changes to keep the content cohesive and readable.

If your Canva presentation had animations or transitions, you may need to recreate them in Google Slides. Use animations and transitions in Google Slides to add visual interest to your presentation.

Sharing and Collaborating 

For the last step of the conversion, you’ll need:

• Click the “Share” button in the upper-right corner of the Google Slides editor;
• Depending on your requirements, set the sharing permission to “Anyone with a link” or specific individuals;
• Copy the link you’ve created and share it with your target audience.

Participants can then view, comment on or edit the Google Slides presentation, enabling seamless collaboration and feedback.

When you may need to convert Canva Presentations to Google Slides

There are several situations when you may need to convert Canva Presentations to Google Slides:

• Collaboration: If you work with a team or colleagues who mostly use Google Slides for collaboration and editing, converting Canva presentations to it will allow you to collaborate and edit seamlessly in real time;
• Sharing and Accessibility: Google Slides is a widely used platform, and sharing a presentation this format ensures that recipients can easily access and view the content without the need for a Canva account or software;
• Compatibility: In some cases, you may need to present your slides on a device or in an environment where Canva is not available. Converting your Canva presentation to Google Slides provides compatibility across devices and operating systems;
• Integration with Google Workspace: If you already use G Suite for productivity, such as Gmail, Google Drive, and Docs, converting Canva presentations to Google Slides provides seamless integration and a single workflow;
• Access to Google Slides features: It offers a number of unique features, such as real-time collaboration, extensive sharing capabilities, and integration with other services. By converting your Canva presentation, you can use these features to enhance your presentation;
• Presentation Viewing and Remote Presentations: Google Slides provides a special Presenter View feature that offers useful tools and features for presentations. Converting Canva presentations to Google Slides allows you to take advantage of this feature and makes it easier to deliver remote presentations via video conferencing platforms;
• Editing capabilities and flexibility: While Canva offers a user-friendly interface for creating designs, Google Slides provides more advanced editing capabilities. By converting your Canva presentation, you can refine and customize the content, layouts, and animations as you see fit.

Remember that the decision to convert a Canva presentation to Google Slides depends on your specific requirements and the preferences of your colleagues or audience. Evaluate the situation and choose the platform that best fits your needs.

Converting Canva presentations to Google Slides can be a simple process if you follow the steps outlined in this guide. By migrating your presentations to this platform, you can take advantage of the collaboration features and ensure compatibility across devices and platforms.

To make changes to your Canva presentation and save it, go to the File menu and select Save as Google Slides. That’s it! Your classroom Canva presentations are now fully converted.

Be sure to review the converted presentation, refine the design, and make any necessary changes to preserve the original intent and aesthetics. With a little effort, you can easily convert Canva presentations to Google Slides and unlock the full potential of both platforms for your presentations.

Here’s How to Import Canva to Google Slides – 3 Easy Ways!

Kevin Goedecke

With over 125 million users , Canva is a popular design platform best known for its user-friendly interface and extensive built-in template library ; allowing you to choose from a myriad of design options that can be easily customizable to your preference.

Google Slides offers similar functions, making it an equally smart choice for creating slideshows and presentations. After all, this is one of the top presentation programs across the web for a reason!

While Google Slides allows for basic, professional looking slideshows, it lacks Canva’s creative variety of design options that can be used to spice up your presentation!

Understanding how to import Canva to Google Slides gives you the best of both worlds.

From the straightforward program components of Google Slides to the creative customization options of Canva, you’ll drastically improve the quality of your work whether you are a designer or not! 

In this step-by-step tutorial you will discover 3 ways to import Canva designs into Google Slides :

• Export Your Canva Designs into PowerPoint Format
• Import Your Canva Presentation as Images
• Convert Your Canva Files Using Magicul (Best Solution!)

Option #1: Export Your Canva Designs into a PowerPoint Format

One way to import a Canva presentation into Google Slides is to first export it as a PowerPoint presentation and then upload it to Google Slides. 

This is a simple method that will not just combat the limited template library of Google Slides with the use of Canva’s impressive designs, but will also allow you to make changes to the imported version if any formatting issues have occurred.

However, it is important to note that a smooth transition from one tool to another is not always guaranteed. Common issues include loss of interactive functions, loss of images, loss of text and other design errors . Therefore, this method can be time consuming and prone to inaccurate results.

Step 1: Log in to your Canva account. 

If you aren’t already signed up, you can quickly do this by using your email.

The tool is completely free to use, however Canva Pro can give you access to premium features such as more templates, their background remover and content planner.

Step 2: Create a unique presentation using Canva’s expansive template library. Alternatively, you can open a design you have already made.

Here’s an example:

Step 3: Click on the SHARE button on the right corner of the screen and scroll down until you find 3 horizontal dots with the MORE icon next to them. Click on this.

Step 4: Keep scrolling down until you find the SAVE section. Choose the Microsoft PowerPoint format.

If you are struggling to find the PowerPoint icon, you have the option to type the export format you are looking for in the search bar.

Step 5: Once you have clicked on PowerPoint, download your presentation.

The file should now be saved on your desktop.

Step 6: Start a blank Google Slides presentation.

Step 7: Click on FILE -> IMPORT SLIDES .

Step 8: You can either drag and drop your PowerPoint presentation into Google Slides, or choose to upload it instead.

Step 9: Select the slides you want to import.

You can either click on SELECT ALL SLIDES to upload them in bulk or choose the ones you would like imported individually.

Step 10: Delete the first slide, as it will appear blank.

Here, you can also rearrange or edit your slides according to your preferences.

Step 11: You are all done! Enjoy your Google Slides presentation!

Option #2: Import Your Canva Presentation as Images

If you are wondering how to convert Canva to Google Slides without having to deal with format errors, exporting your Canva design as an image file might be a better route for you. 

This method allows you to take full advantage of all the features Canva has to offer, as your presentation will be finalized within the platform.

On the downside, once the static images have been uploaded to Google Slides, you will be unable to make any changes if you have a change of heart. Therefore, if you don’t feel completely confident with the final draft, this method can end up being even more time consuming than the first option!

NOTE: Although you can use most image file types, this guide will show you how to import your presentation as a PNG image.

Step 1: Just like Option 1, log in to your Canva account, create a perfectly designed presentation and click on the SHARE icon on the top right side of the screen. 

Step 2 : Click on DOWNLOAD.

Step 3: Choose the PNG format from the drop-down menu and download the file to your desktop.

Step 4: Open a blank presentation on Google Slides.

Step 5: Set up the same number of slides that your PNG file has and individually drag and drop each image onto each blank slide.

Alternatively, you can click on the SLIDE menu -> CHANGE BACKGROUND . 

From there, you can upload each image to create your slideshow.

Step 6: Position your images so the entire slide is covered.

Step 7: Well done! Enjoy your final product!

BONUS TIP: You can work around the text editing limitations by removing the text in your canva presentation and only importing the background and graphical components of your design into Google Slides. 

Afterwards, you can use Google Slides to add the text over the imported background/images.

Option #3: Convert Your Canva Files Using Magicul

While the previous methods are free, they can be extremely time consuming and even challenging if things go south. 

Professional designers know all too well the frustration that comes with manually converting designs from one tool to another. So why not use software that takes care of the entire process with just a few clicks? 

Magicul is the best design file converter engine on the market , and it supports all major design formats, including Canva, Figma and more.

FAQs on How to Import Canva to Google Slides

What are the benefits of converting canva designs to google slides.

Canva is known for its wide range of design features, while Google Slides is one of the most popular platforms to create and host digital presentations.

Knowing how to convert Canva to Google Slides will allow you to create visually impressive presentations that can easily be shared with others on Google Slides. 

Can I directly import Canva into Google Slides?

The answer is both yes and no!

While you cannot simply import Canva into Google Slides from the Canva platform, you can automate the process using a tool like Magicul. 

All you need to do is generate a copy link for your Canva design and paste it into our design file converter.

Will my fonts change when importing my Canva presentation into Google Slides?

It depends on the method of conversion.

Manually importing your Canva presentation into Google Slides may lead to unexpected font and formatting errors, as well as loss of text and images. These can be time-consuming to fix.

On the other hand, Magicul is highly accurate; successfully converting all major design formats flawlessly!

Are there any limitations to the direct PowerPoint export in Canva?

While exporting your presentation into a PowerPoint format is an easy way to import Canva to Google Slides, it can result in a number of issues that may change your design.

Loss of texts, images and interactive functions are common layout errors that may occur when opting for the PowerPoint export.

For instance, Canva charts will appear as regular shapes on PowerPoint.

Is the PowerPoint export part of the Canva free plan?

Saving your design as a .pptx file is also available to users on the free plan. 

What export formats does Canva support natively?

Canva currently supports the following export formats :

• PDF Standard

Is it possible to convert Google Slides to Canva (the other way around)?

Just as with importing Canva into Google Slides, doing it the other way around is possible- but not directly!

An easy way to carry out the conversion is by saving your Google Slides presentation as an image and then uploading it to Canva. 

However, it is important to be aware that this method may distort and/or remove your layout and any animated transitions your presentation has. 

Instead, you can take a hybrid approach by exporting specific parts of your Google Slide as images, and then importing them into Canva to polish the final presentation.

For example: If you have a presentation with multiple charts, you can create them using Google Slides and export them as images. These images can then be added to your Canva design. 

To get the best results, you will need to take advantage of features each platform offers.

Are you looking to import your Canva designs into Google Slides? If so, you’re in luck! There are a few easy steps you can follow to get your designs from Canva into Google Slides seamlessly. With the right tools and a little bit of know-how, you’ll be able to create stunning presentations in no time.

One method to import your Canva presentations into Google Slides is by connecting your Google Drive account to Canva. This allows you to easily transfer your designs between the two platforms. Another option is to upload your Canva presentation as a PPTX file directly into Google Slides. Whichever method you choose, we’ll walk you through the steps to make the process as smooth as possible. So, let’s get started!

Understanding Canva and Google Slides

Canva is a user-friendly graphic design platform that enables users to create professional designs for various purposes such as social media graphics, presentations, posters, and more. It offers a wide range of templates, graphics, and fonts to choose from, making it a popular choice among non-designers.

Google Slides, on the other hand, is a cloud-based presentation software that allows users to create, edit, and share presentations online. It offers various features such as real-time collaboration, built-in animations, and the ability to embed videos and images.

Fortunately, it is possible to import Canva designs into Google Slides, which can save a lot of time and effort. This can be done in a few simple steps, which we will discuss in the following sections.

Setting Up Your Canva Account

Before you can import your Canva designs into Google Slides, you need to make sure you have a Canva account. If you don’t already have one, you can easily sign up for free on the Canva website.

Once you have created an account, you can start designing your presentation in Canva. Canva offers a variety of templates and design elements to help you create a professional-looking presentation.

If you’re new to Canva, it may take some time to get used to the interface and features. However, Canva offers a comprehensive help center with tutorials and articles to help you get started.

To make the process of importing your Canva designs into Google Slides even easier, you can also connect your Canva account to your Google Drive account. This will allow you to access your Canva designs directly from Google Drive and import them into Google Slides with just a few clicks.

Creating Your Design in Canva

Canva is a popular graphic design tool that allows users to create visually appealing designs with ease. To import your Canva design into Google Slides, you must first create your design in Canva.

To get started, log in to your Canva account and select the type of design you want to create. Canva offers a variety of design templates, including presentations, social media graphics, and more. Once you have selected your design type, you can choose from a variety of pre-made templates or start from scratch.

Canva’s drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to add elements to your design. You can add text, images, shapes, and more to create a design that meets your needs. Canva also offers a variety of design elements, including icons, illustrations, and stock photos, that you can use to enhance your design.

When creating your design in Canva, it’s important to keep in mind the dimensions of your Google Slides presentation. You can find the dimensions of your Google Slides presentation by navigating to File > Page Setup in Google Slides. Once you know the dimensions of your presentation, you can adjust the size of your Canva design to match.

Exporting Your Canva Design

If you’ve created a beautiful design in Canva and you want to import it into Google Slides, you’ll need to export it first. Here’s how to do it.

Choosing the Right Format

Before you export your design, you’ll need to choose the right format. Canva offers several export options, including PDF, PNG, and JPEG. If you want to import your design into Google Slides, we recommend choosing the PNG format. This will ensure that your design looks crisp and clear when you import it.

Downloading Your Design

Once you’ve chosen the right format, it’s time to download your design. To do this, click on the “Download” button in the top right-hand corner of the Canva interface. Select “PNG” as the file format, and choose the size you want to download. Click the “Download” button, and your design will be saved to your computer.

That’s it! You’ve successfully exported your Canva design in the right format for importing into Google Slides. Now you’re ready to import your design and start creating a beautiful slideshow.

Importing Your Canva Design Into Google Slides

Opening google slides.

To import your Canva design into Google Slides, you will first need to open Google Slides in your web browser. If you don’t already have a Google account, you will need to create one. Once you are logged in, click on the “New” button in the upper left corner of the screen, then select “Google Slides” from the drop-down menu. This will open a new, blank Google Slides presentation.

Uploading Your Canva Design

To upload your Canva design into Google Slides, you will need to have your design saved in a compatible format. The easiest way to do this is to download your design as a PowerPoint file from Canva. Once you have your file ready, follow these steps:

• In Google Slides, click on the “File” menu in the upper left corner of the screen.
• Select “Import slides” from the drop-down menu.
• Click on the “Upload” tab, then click on the “Select a file from your device” button.
• Navigate to the location where you saved your PowerPoint file, then select it and click “Open”.
• Select the slides you want to import into your Google Slides presentation, then click “Import slides”.

Your Canva design should now be imported into your Google Slides presentation. You can edit and customize it as needed using the tools and features available in Google Slides.

It’s worth noting that if you have your Canva design saved in a different format, such as a PDF or image file, you can still import it into Google Slides. However, you may need to convert the file to a compatible format before uploading it. There are many online file conversion tools available that can help you do this quickly and easily.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any issues while importing Canva designs into Google Slides, don’t worry. This section will help you troubleshoot some of the most common issues.

Image Quality Issues

One of the most common issues that users face when importing Canva designs into Google Slides is image quality. If you notice that the image quality is poor or blurry, try the following:

• Check the resolution of the image in Canva. Make sure it is at least 300dpi.
• Save the image as a PNG file instead of a JPG file. PNG files are higher quality and will retain more detail.
• Check the size of the image. If it is too small, it will appear blurry when enlarged in Google Slides.

Size and Scaling Problems

Another issue that users face is size and scaling problems. If you notice that your design is not the correct size or is not scaling properly, try the following:

• Check the size of the design in Canva. Make sure it is the correct size for your intended use.
• When importing the design into Google Slides, choose the “Fit” option instead of “Original Size” to ensure that it scales properly.
• If you need to resize the design in Google Slides, hold down the Shift key while dragging the corners to maintain the aspect ratio.

Color Mismatch

If you notice that the colors in your design are not matching when imported into Google Slides, try the following:

• Check the color profile of the design in Canva. Make sure it is set to RGB.
• When importing the design into Google Slides, make sure that the color mode is set to RGB.
• If the colors still don’t match, try adjusting the brightness, contrast, or saturation in Google Slides to get a closer match.

By following these troubleshooting tips, you should be able to resolve any issues you encounter when importing Canva designs into Google Slides.

Importing Canva presentations into Google Slides is a simple process that can save you time and effort. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily transfer your Canva designs to Google Slides and make any necessary edits.

Import Canva Templates into Google Slides

If you prefer using Canva for creating presentation slides and Google Slides for collaborative editing, the good news is that you can get the best of both worlds. You can easily import Canva designs into Google Slides and then edit them in Google Slides.

Here’s how you convert any Canva designs into Google Slides.

Open any presentation or graphic created inside Canva.

Click the 3-dot horizontal menu on the right side of the screen and choose the Microsoft PowerPoint format under the Share section.

The PowerPoint export format is available for Canva presentations as well as for any other graphic created inside Canva. If the PowerPoint icon is not visible, you can click the See all link to get a list of all the available formats.

Now that you have the PowerPoint file on the desktop, open your Google Drive and click the New > File Upload button bot to import the .pptx file into Google Drive.

Once the file is uploaded in Google Drive, choose File > Save as Google Slides to convert the PowerPoint file into Google Slides.

You will now be able to edit the presentation in Google Slides. The import may not be perfect, but because individual elements of the presentation are imported separately, it is easy to make changes.

Also, you should ensure that if any custom fonts are used in the Canva presentation, you have the same enabled inside your Google Slides as well. It is recommended that you either use standard common fonts or choose any of the Google Fonts since they are available both in Google Slides and Canva.

Import Canva Designs as Images

If you would like your Canva design to appear as is in Google Slides, you can consider importing them as images in Google Slides. The designs will be displayed exactly as they are in Canva but you’ll lose the ability to edit them in Google Slides.

• Open any Canva graphic, click the Download button, and choose PNG Image as the download format.
• Switch to Google Slides, go to the Slides menu and choose Change Background .
• Choose the image exported from Canva and click OK to apply the background.

Do make sure that your Slides dimensions are the same as the Canva graphic dimensions else the image may appear stretched.

Browse through the template options and select the one that best suits your needs. Canva Slides offers a wide variety of templates for different purposes, such as business presentations, educational slideshows, and creative projects. You can also start with a blank template and design your slides from scratch.

After selecting a template, you will be taken to the Canva Slides editor. Here, you can customize your slides by adding text, images, shapes, and other elements. Canva Slides offers a user-friendly interface with drag-and-drop functionality, making it easy to create professional-looking presentations without any design experience.

Canva Slides provides a wide range of design tools and features, allowing you to unleash your creativity and make your presentations stand out.

Once you have finished designing your slides and are satisfied with the result, it’s time to move on to the next step: downloading your Canva Slides as a PowerPoint file.

• Once the import is complete, you will see a preview of the slides from the PowerPoint file. You can review the slides and make any necessary adjustments.
• Click on the “Import” button to import the slides into your Google Slides presentation.

After the import is finished, you will have successfully transferred your Canva Slides presentation into Google Slides. You can now utilize the collaborative features, share the presentation with others, and make any further edits or additions as needed.

Many people face this problem, and it can be frustrating to start all over again from scratch. But fear not, my friend! With this step-by-step guide, you can easily turn your Canva presentation into a Google Slides presentation.

Why Convert Your Canva Presentation to Google Slides?

Before we dive into the process, let’s quickly explore why you might want to convert your Canva presentation to Google Slides.

• Collaboration : Google Slides is a more collaborative tool than Canva, allowing multiple users to edit the same presentation at the same time.
• Sharing : Google Slides makes it easy to share your presentation with others, whether it’s by sending a link or publishing it to the web.
• Revision History : Google Slides keeps a record of every change made to your presentation, so you can easily revert to a previous version if needed.
• Integration : Google Slides integrates seamlessly with other Google tools, such as Google Drive and Google Docs.

Step 1: Export Your Canva Presentation as a PNG or PDF

To begin the conversion process, you’ll need to export your Canva presentation as a PNG or PDF file. Here’s how:

• PNG : Go to Canva’s "File" menu and select "Download" > "PNG". This will export each slide as a separate PNG file. You can then upload these files to Google Slides.
• PDF : Go to Canva’s "File" menu and select "Download" > "PDF". This will export your entire presentation as a single PDF file. You can then upload the PDF to Google Slides and insert it as an image.

Step 2: Upload Your Canva Presentation to Google Slides

Once you’ve exported your Canva presentation, it’s time to upload it to Google Slides. Here’s how:

• PNG files : Go to Google Slides and create a new presentation. Then, go to the "Insert" menu and select "Image" > "From Drive" > "Select a folder". Choose the folder where you saved your PNG files, and select all of them to upload.
• PDF file : Go to Google Slides and create a new presentation. Then, go to the "Insert" menu and select "Image" > "From Drive" > "Select a file". Choose the PDF file you exported from Canva and upload it to Google Slides.

Step 3: Customize Your Google Slides Presentation

Once you’ve uploaded your Canva presentation, you can start customizing it to fit your needs. Here are some tips:

• Resizing : If your PNG files are not resizing correctly, try uploading them to Google Slides and then adjusting the slide size.
• Color schemes : Canva presentations often have unique color schemes. To match these, go to Google Slides’ "Design" tab and select "Themes" > "Colors".
• Fonts : Canva presentations often use custom fonts. To match these, go to Google Slides’ "Design" tab and select "Themes" > "Fonts".

Step 4: Review and Revise

Finally, take some time to review and revise your Google Slides presentation. Check for:

• Image quality : Make sure the images from your Canva presentation are not pixelated or blurry.
• Text formatting : Check that the text formatting from your Canva presentation has transferred correctly.
• Transitions and animations : These may not have transferred from Canva, so review and revise as needed.

Comparison Table: Canva vs. Google Slides

• Collaborate in Real-Time: Google Slides supports real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on the same presentation together.
• Cloud Storage: Your presentations are stored in Google Drive, making them accessible from anywhere.
• Automatic Saving: Google Slides automatically saves your work, reducing the risk of data loss.
• Integration with Google Apps: Seamlessly integrate with other Google services like Google Docs, Sheets, and Forms.

When to Choose a Different Path

While Google Slides is fantastic, it might not be the best fit for every presentation. If you’ve got a super complex presentation with lots of animations and fancy multimedia stuff, converting it might be tricky. In this case, consider saving your PowerPoint as a PDF.
