How To Bulk Create In Canva (Step By Step!)

Here are the steps that you can follow to bulk create in Canva:

1. Open Your Template

Visit the Canva website.

Then from the Canva homepage, search for the design type that you want to use for creating your bulk designs.

For example, I will search for ‘Business Card’ for demonstration purposes.

Now Canva’s library of pre-made templates will open in front of you. Go through various templates and then click on the one that catches your eye the most.

From the new menu, click on the ‘Customize This Template’ button to open the template in the Canva editor.

2. Add Data For Bulk Creation

After opening your template in the Canva editor, click on the ‘Apps’ button from the left sidebar.  Then scroll through the new menu to click on the ‘Bulk Create’ button.

Now a new menu with various data sources will open in front of you.

For example, I will click on the ‘Enter Data Manually’ button for demonstration purposes.

Now we have to delete the existing data samples by clicking on the ‘Clear Table’ button from the left bottom corner of the new table.

After clearing the sample data, we can start by adding the desired data to the table.

Now click on the top column and then label it with your desired field

For example, I want to label my first column as ‘Your Name’. So, I will type ‘Your Name’ in the top column.

After labeling your first column, click on the ‘Add Text’ button from the top left corner of the screen to add a new column to your table.

Now again click on the second column and then label it.

For example, I will label as second column as ‘Title’.

Note: In this way, you can keep adding and labeling columns (refer to the screenshot below).

But what if you want to add an image?

Then click on the ‘Add Image’ button from the top left corner of the screen.

Once you have made and labeled all the columns, we can start by adding information on the rows.

Just click on the row and start typing your desired text.

For example, I will type ‘Olivia Wright’ under the ‘Your Name’ heading.

Note: Follow the same process to add data under all the headings.

Once you click on the row below the ‘Image’ heading. A new menu with previously uploaded images in Canva will open in front of you.

Click on the image that you want to add to your business card from the new menu.

But what if you also want to create a business card for your partner as well?

In that case, fill the second row of the table with your partner’s information (refer to the screenshot below).

After entering your desired data, click on the ‘Done’ button from the bottom right corner of the screen.

3. Connect Data Fields

Now after creating columns and adding data to the table, we have to connect that data with the existing elements of your design.

To do that, just right-click on the element to get access to a new menu.

For example, I will right-click on the ‘Juliana Silva’ text element for demonstration purposes.

From the new menu, click on the ‘Connect Data’ button. Then click on the data field that you would like to drop into that element.

For example, I will connect my ‘Juliana Silva’ text element to the ‘Your Name’ data field.

After connecting all the data fields, click on the ‘Continue’ button at the end.

From the new menu, check the boxes of the pages that you want to create.

For example, I want to generate both pages. So, I will check the box of the ‘Select All’ option.

Lastly, click on the ‘Generate Pages’ button at the bottom. Now after a few seconds, a new window with generated pages will open in front of you.

You will notice that all the marked fields will automatically get filled according to the inserted data (refer to the screenshot below).

Note: If you want to edit the elements further, then just click on it and take the help of the top toolbar.

4. Download Your Design

After making bulk creations on Canva, we can proceed with downloading the design to your computer.

Click on the ‘Share’ button from the top right corner of the screen and then on the ‘Download’ button from the new menu.

Now from the download settings, set your file type to PNG for high-quality pictures. Then select the number of pages that you want to save on your computer, under the ‘Select Pages’ section.

Lastly, click on the ‘Download’ button at the end to start the process.
