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.

how to share canva presentation to google slides

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.

how to share canva presentation to google slides

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.”

how to share canva presentation to google slides

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.

how to share canva presentation to google slides

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 Import Canva Designs into Google Slides

Amit Agarwal

Learn how to import Canva presentations into Google Slides. You can convert any graphics or Canva template into a PowerPoint or Slides deck.

Canva is everyone’s favorite tool for creating social media graphics, YouTube video thumbnails, Instagram stories, logos, and even regular presentations. The app is jam-packed with beautiful, ready-to-use templates that make it easy for even non-designers to create unique and impressive designs.

Google Slides Template Gallery

Google Slides is probably the most popular app for creating presentations but its built-in template library is limited and haven’t seen any update in a long time.

Compare the Slides library to Canva and you’ll find thousands of presentation templates that will fit the needs of any project, be it in education, business, or personal.

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.

Download Canva Graphic as PowerPoint

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.

Save PowerPoint as Google Slides

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.

How to Transfer Canva to Google Slides

Looking to spice up your Google Slides with Canva’s eye-catching designs? You’re in the right place! This guide will walk you through the steps, but keep in mind, that the transition might not be 100% flawless.

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. 

Step 1: Log in or sign up with your email. Canva is free, but you can pay for Canva Pro to get some extra cool features.

If you’re not already a Canva user, no worries. Just go ahead and sign up with your email. While the basic version is free, upgrading to Canva Pro offers you even more design options and features.

Step 2: Create a unique presentation using Canva’s expansive template library. You have two choices here: create a presentation from scratch using Canva’s wide range of templates, or open a presentation you’ve already put together.

Step 3: On the top-right corner of your screen, you’ll see a “SHARE” button. Click it, then scroll down a bit and click on the “MORE” icon—it looks like three horizontal dots.

Step 4: Scroll a bit more to find the “SAVE” section. From there, choose to save your presentation in the Microsoft PowerPoint format.

If you’re having trouble finding it, just type “PowerPoint” into the search bar.

The presentation should be saved on your computer, usually in the ‘Downloads’ folder unless you specify otherwise.

Step 6: FIRE UP THE GOOGLE SLIDES!

how to share canva presentation to google slides

Open Google Slides and create a new, blank presentation.

Step 7: Click on FILE -> IMPORT SLIDES .

how to share canva presentation to google slides

In your new Google Slides presentation, click on the “FILE” menu and then select “IMPORT SLIDES.”

Step 8: Upload your new file to PowerPoint

how to share canva presentation to google slides

You now have two options: either drag and drop the PowerPoint file you downloaded earlier into the import window, or browse your computer to upload it manually.

Step 9: Select the slides you want to import.

how to share canva presentation to google slides

You’ll be prompted to pick which slides you want. You can choose “SELECT ALL SLIDES” to bring in the whole shebang, or select individual slides if you only need certain ones.

Step 10: A little House Keeping

how to share canva presentation to google slides

You’ll notice the first slide in your newly imported presentation is blank. Go ahead and delete it. This is also a good time to re-order slides or make any other edits.

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

But wait…You thought that was all? You’re in for a treat. Here at Magicul, we make things easy. You always have more than one option.

Canva Presentations: How to Create and Share Them

Author avatar

Canva may not be your first thought for creating a presentation. However, this popular web-based design tool offers a robust slideshow feature set. We’ll walk through how to create a Canva presentation, present it to your audience, and share it using a variety of methods.

Create a Canva Presentation

If you’ve never made a presentation with Canva, don’t worry. This online graphic design application goes beyond creating images and crafting infographics. Canva makes it super easy to create and set up a presentation for your audience.

On the Canva home page, select Presentations below the Search bar. Then, choose a slideshow size or Canva presentation template to get started.

Create a Canva Presentation image

Note : If you’re using Canva Docs , you can also convert your document to a presentation by selecting Convert at the top. Follow the prompts, and you’ll see your presentation open in the Canva editor.

Once in the Canva editor, use the menu on the left side to add slide elements. You can select or drag items like shapes, images, or text boxes onto your slides.

Create a Canva Presentation image 2

You can also edit or remove a slide element by selecting it and using the tools that display near the item or in the top toolbar. For example, you can change the style of text or transparency of an image.

Create a Canva Presentation image 3

Be sure to check out the full set of Canva presentation tools in the editor. You can add animations, insert slide transitions, use the grid view to rearrange presentation slides, and more.

Set Up the Presentation

After you tap your creativity to make an attractive and informative presentation, you can add notes, clock your speaking time, and adjust the slide durations.

Add Presenter Notes

To add presenter notes to a slide, select Notes in the bottom toolbar. Then, type your note in the panel that displays on the left. You can then move to your other slides and add notes the same way.

Set Up the Presentation image

When you finish, deselect Notes in the toolbar.

Use the Timer

If you’d like to time your presentation, you can use the built-in countdown Timer feature. Select Timer in the bottom toolbar to display the timer. By default, the timer is set for five minutes, but you can change this using the plus and minus buttons.

Set Up the Presentation image 2

Press the Play button to start the countdown, the Pause button to temporarily stop the timer, and the Reset button to restart the timer.

Set Up the Presentation image 3

To close the Timer, deselect Timer in the toolbar.

Set the Slide Duration

Maybe you’re using Autoplay (described below) and would like to display particular slides for a longer or shorter time. You can adjust the slide duration for each or all slides in two different ways in Canva.

Use the Duration Slider

Expand the bottom section by selecting the Show Pages arrow. Then, choose Duration on the left to see the default timing for each slide.

Set Up the Presentation image 4

Select a slide thumbnail (page) and hover your cursor over the left or right side of it to display the duration slider. Then, drag the slider in or out to shorten or lengthen the duration.

Set Up the Presentation image 5

When you finish, deselect Duration in the toolbar and optionally use the Hide Pages arrow to minimize the bottom section.

Use the Timing Feature

Another way to change the duration of a slide is by using the Timing option at the top of the editor. Select a slide to see its duration and choose the current timing to enter a new duration, or use the slider to adjust it.

You can also turn on the toggle to apply the new duration to all pages (slides) in the presentation.

Set Up the Presentation image 6

To close the Timing tool, deselect it in the top toolbar.

Show a Canva Presentation

The great thing about creating a presentation in Canva is that you can present from it as well. If you prefer not to download and present using a different application, you have a few options to show your slideshow directly from Canva.

When you’re ready to present or practice your presentation, select Present on the top right. You’ll then see the options below.

Show a Canva Presentation image

Present in Full Screen Mode

Choose the Present full screen option to enter presentation mode. You’ll see your presentation consume your entire screen and have controls at the bottom.

Show a Canva Presentation image 2

Use the arrows on the left to move through the slides and the controls on the right to zoom, interact, use shortcuts, or exit full-screen mode.

Use Presenter View

To see your notes and controls on one screen with your presentation on another for your audience, choose Presenter view .

Show a Canva Presentation image 3

Your screen shows the time, a count-up timer, and other controls for a countdown, AutoPlay, and the font size for your notes.

You can drag the other screen wherever needed for your audience to view.

Show a Canva Presentation image 4

Present and Record

Maybe you want to incorporate your smiling face into your presentation. For this, pick the Present and record option to record yourself live as the presentation plays. You can then share the whole presentation as if you’re in the same room.

Note : This feature is currently only available when using the Google Chrome web browser.

You’ll see your face appear in a circle on the bottom left of the presentation. You can use the Pause and End recording buttons at the top to control the recording as well as see your presenter notes.

Show a Canva Presentation image 5

When you finish, you’ll see a link that you can copy and have the option to download the recorded presentation immediately.

Show a Canva Presentation image 6

Use Autoplay

Like Autoplay for a PowerPoint presentation, this is one more way to present a slideshow using Canva. With Autoplay, you can start the presentation and let it play on its own. This is ideal for kiosk presentations or when you are unable to present yourself.

Show a Canva Presentation image 7

When you choose Autoplay , the presentation begins and moves through each slide using the Durations you set (explained earlier). You can also manually control the presentation if needed using the same tools as the Present Full Screen option.

Share a Canva Presentation

Along with or instead of actually presenting a slideshow with Canva, you can share it in a variety of ways. Whether you want to collaborate with your team, download the file to your device, or pop the presentation up on social media, Canva has you covered.

Select Share in the top right corner and then choose one of the following ways to share.

Share a Canva Presentation image

Collaborate With Others

Maybe you want to work on the final presentation with a team member or coworker. You can grant access to others and provide them with a collaboration link.

Enter the people, groups, teams, or email addresses in the People with access field. Then, open the Collaboration link drop-down menu and pick Anyone with link to provide access.

Share a Canva Presentation image 2

Download a Presentation

If you’d like to save your presentation to your device or download it as a Microsoft PowerPoint file, this is easy too.

Select Download and use the File type drop-down to pick PDF, PPTX, GIF, PNG, or another format.

You can then choose to flatten the PDF, include notes, or download only certain pages (slides).

Share a Canva Presentation image 3

Share on Social Media

Want to post your presentation directly to Facebook, Instagram, or another social media network? Select Share on social , choose the location, and follow the subsequent prompts to sign in and set up the social media post.

Share a Canva Presentation image 4

More Sharing Options

If you don’t see the sharing avenue you want, don’t despair because there are even more. Select More at the bottom of the Share menu.

You’ll then see sections for Share, Social, Save, Messaging, Design, and More Options giving you a ton of sharing methods. As examples, you can obtain a public link, send it to your phone, get an embed code for your blog, upload it to Dropbox or Google Drive, send it to Slack or WhatsApp, and more.
