Envato & Canva: A Dream Collaboration for Designers
With its intuitive interface and versatile features, Canva has become a go-to platform for creative professionals and budding designers alike, democratizing design for millions worldwide. Its user-friendly interface has truly made design accessible to everyone, empowering individuals and businesses to create visually stunning content without the need for extensive design expertise or expensive software.
On the other hand, Envato has become the ultimate creative subscription for designers, offering millions of high-quality creative assets, ranging from graphics and templates to stunning stock photos and videos, to elevate their design projects. So, why not combine the benefits of these two powerhouse design platforms into one?
“As more Envato subscribers incorporate Canva into their design suite, we want to make it effortless for them to access premium assets while staying in their creative flow,” says Bianca Pellizzari, Senior Product Marketing Specialist at Envato. “The Envato App for Canva streamlines the design process, making it even more convenient to create stunning visuals without ever leaving the canvas.”
Through Envato’s new app for Canva, designers can now access a treasure trove of premium assets and high-quality resources without ever leaving the Canva editor. This integration opens up endless creative possibilities, streamlining designers’ workflow to effortlessly elevate their design projects.
How to Use Envato’s Canva App to Elevate Your Designs
Want to know how to use Envato’s Canva app to take your designs to the next level? We asked a professional designer to explore this new handy feature and demonstrate five cool ways to leverage the app to streamline your workflow and elevate your creative projects.
1. Maximize Design Quality with Envato Photos
Envato offers designers a vast collection of premium photos, illustrations, icons, and more. By incorporating these high-quality assets into your Canva project, you can instantly elevate your design and maximize its visual impact. Finding the right asset can make or break a design, and having access to such a huge volume of incredible photos can immediately take your Canva design to the next level.
“Compelling website visuals are essential, but not every client can afford custom brand photos,” says Ruby, owner of The Brand Kit. “For instance, my client at Just Honey needed a standout website on a budget. Leveraging the Envato Canva App, I accessed stunning stock photos that elevated the site’s professionalism and visual appeal. This resourceful approach transformed the website’s look and impressed my client, showcasing the app’s ability to enhance design outcomes affordably and effectively.”
2. Enhance Professionalism with High-Quality SVG Icons
SVG icons from Envato offer unparalleled quality and versatility. Whether you prefer SVGs or PNGs, these high-resolution icons ensure your designs look crisp and professional across various mediums.
You can now use Canva’s advanced icon search to instantly find the perfect icons from the Envato library. No more searching through entire icon packs — this handy feature allows you to pinpoint individual icons, saving you a ton of time and effort.
“With the Envato Canva App, incorporating professional icons into my projects is effortless,” says Ruby. “I can easily customize icons to match my project’s color palette perfectly—a task that would typically be tedious. For example, in my recent project, I needed a cute bee icon. Within seconds, I found the perfect one and adjusted its colors to complement the project’s existing palette.”
3. Streamline Your Workflow With Drag-and-Drop
The Envato Canva App’s drag-and-drop functionality streamlines your workflow, allowing you to seamlessly incorporate Envato assets into your designs. Say goodbye to switching between tabs and websites to source images and icons – with the app’s simple drag-and-drop, you can access premium assets directly within Canva.
“The app’s drag-and-drop feature allows me to seamlessly incorporate Envato assets into my Canva project without missing a beat, making my design process smoother and more efficient than ever before,” says Ruby. “No more wasting time searching for assets – it’s as simple as drag, drop, and create.”
4. Use AI to Fill Design Gaps
The Envato Canva app’s AI icon generator is a game-changer for designers looking to create custom icons that seamlessly fit their projects’ aesthetics. Whether you need to fill gaps in your icon set or ensure consistency across your designs, the AI icon generator simplifies the process, allowing you to generate bespoke icons in a click.
With the app’s innovative AI feature, there’s no more struggling to find the perfect icon or spending hours creating custom graphics – the AI seamlessly generates what you need, saving you time and enhancing the overall quality of your designs.
“I rely heavily on icons in my design work, so it’s frustrating when I can’t find the right one,” says Ruby. “Fortunately, the Envato Canva app’s AI Icon Generator feature has completely solved this problem for me. Now, I can simply envision the exact icon I need, search for it, and it’s created instantly, saving me valuable time.
“For example, in my recent web design project for Just Honey, I needed a simple flower-shaped icon for the site. With the Envato Canva App, I searched for and found the perfect icon instantly. This innovative tool eliminates the struggle of wasting hours creating custom graphics – it seamlessly generates what I envision, enhancing my designs effortlessly.”
5. Create Cohesive Color Schemes & Design Styles
Combining Envato’s extensive library with Canva’s design tools enables you to create cohesive themes for your projects. Whether you’re designing social media graphics, presentations, or marketing materials, selecting complementary elements that align with a unified color scheme and style is now easier than ever.
“By blending Envato’s extensive library with Canva’s intuitive design tools, I was able to instantly create a cohesive color scheme and find complementary assets for Just Honey’s brand identity,” says Ruby. “As a brand designer, this feature really streamlined my workflow.”
