Setting Up Canva on Desktop and Mobile

Canva is a fantastic platform that is available to everyone and is, in particular, ideal for small business owners. In this chapter, you will be introduced to Canva as well as how to set up your account, and we will go through the main differences between Free and Pro, so you can decide which is best for you. You will also have the chance to look at both mobile and desktop platforms, as there are some slight differences, and we will look at the Content Planner, which is Canva’s social media scheduling tool.

In this chapter we are going to cover the following main topics:

  • What is Canva?
  • Free versus Pro – what’s the difference?
  • Setting up your Canva account
  • Using the mobile version of Canva
  • Scheduling content with the Content Planner
  • Setting up folders for organization

By the end of this chapter, you will have set up your Canva account, created folders to organize your designs, understood the difference between the two different accounts as well as the desktop and mobile versions, and will be ready to get creating and schedule your content.
