How to hyperlink text on canva?

Adding a hyperlink to your PDF document in Canva is incredibly simple, and I’ve included the step-by-step process + screenshots just in case you need a visual reference.

Step 1: Click on the design element or text box that you want to turn into a hyperlink

Step 2: Click on the link icon in the editor toolbar

Step 3: Type or paste the website URL that you want to link to

Step 4: Click the Apply button to save the hyperlink

To change the hyperlink in an element, just repeat the steps above & replace the previous link with the new one!

There is one downside to Canva hyperlinks:

Currently, there’s no way to hyperlink an individual element— you’ll need to add the link to your entire element (i.e. the text box or design element).

So that just means that you’ll need to make sure you create a separate text box or design element for anything you don’t want hyperlinked. It’s a tiny bit inconvenient… but nothing to stress yourself out over!

Note that your link will not show up on a regular JPEG or PNG image. This feature is only designed for templates exported as a PDF document.
