If you’d like to create the graphics in Canva to be used on an HMTL website, how can you do it? Can you convert Canva to HTML without third-party tools? This guide will show you how to convert Canva design to HTML, so let’s dive in.

Ways To Convert Canva to HTML

The best way to convert a Canva design to HTML is to share it as a website. To do that, click the Share button.

Scroll down the drop-down panel and click More. Select the Website button. Next, choose your website style and select the Open Website button.

Your design will open up in your default web browser. Next, right-click on your website and select Save As to save it as Webpage, HTML.

You can also convert Canva to Word if you need to. Meantime, here are the step-by-step instructions to convert Canva to HTML:

Method 1: Save As Website

In this method, you can save your Canva design as a website and retrieve the HTML code from there. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Share

When you are ready to convert your Canva design to HTML, select the Share button in the top right-hand corner.

Step 2: Open Website

In the drop-down panel of options, scroll down and select More.

That brings you to another set of options. In this panel, select the Website button.

Next, select your preferred Website Style in the selection box.

Then click the Open Website button.

Step 3: Save As HTML

Your Canva design now opens up in your default internet browser as a website, similar to how a presentation looks like.

Next, bring your cursor over your website and right-click.

Select Save As from the pop-up menu.

You can also use the keyboard shortcut by pressing Command + S on Mac.

Or Ctrl + S on Windows.

Then, in the dialog box, change your filename if you wish, go to the Format section on a Mac or Save As Type section on Windows, and select the option Webpage, HTML only. Then hit the Save button.

You now have an HTML file saved on your desktop that’s converted from your Canva design.

Method 2: Embed

In this method, you won’t be converting your Canva design into a website. You will be able to copy the HTML code directly. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Share

Same with step 1 in Method 1, when you are ready to convert your Canva design to HTML, select the Share button in the top right-hand corner.

Step 2: Embed

In the drop-down panel of options, scroll down and select More.

That brings you to another set of options. In this panel, under the Share section, select the Embed link.

Next, another drop-down appears with the notice: “Embed your design on Medium, WordPress, or your website – it will always update automatically!”

Click on the Embed button which will make your design public.

Step 3: Copy HTML Code

A new drop-down that says “Embed LIVE” appears. You will see a message that says “Your embed links have been created!”

Under the message, you will see the Canva design HTML embed code. Click the Copy button on the right side to copy all the code.

Paste your code in your HTML viewer window.

Method 3: Design As A website

Another way to convert a Canva design to HTML is to start your Canva design as a website right from the start. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Websites

In the home section, go to the main banner that has the search bar. Below that, scroll to the right and select Websites.

Step 2: Select Template

Next, browse through the various website templates provided by Canva below. If you want to start with a blank website, go to the section Build Your Online Presence, and select the first option that says Website.

Go ahead to design your website.

You can grab any of the Canva-free elements and zoom in and out of your design if you need a better view.

Step 3: Publish

Once you are ready to convert your Canva design to HTML, click the Publish Website button on the top right-hand side next to the Share button.

Then select With Navigation or Without Navigation.

Under Publish To, select Publish To A Canva Domain that includes Canva in the URL.

Otherwise, select Purchase A New Domain if you wish to purchase a new domain through Canva, or select Use My Existing Domain to use your existing domain.

Next, click the Continue button which will bring you to a panel to review your settings.

In this example, I will leave the Website description empty and select the option that says “Hide my website from search engine”.

Select the Publish button to publish your website.

Step 4: Save As HTML

Next, your website is now live and you can view it by clicking the View Website button in the pop-up.

Your Canva design now opens up in your default internet browser as a website.

Next, similar to Method 1, Step 3, bring your cursor over your website and right-click.

Select Save As from the pop-up menu.

You can also use the keyboard shortcut by pressing Command + S on Mac.

Or Ctrl + S on Windows.

Then, in the dialog box, change your filename if you wish, go to the Save As Type section, and select the option Webpage, HTML only.

You now have an HTML file that’s converted from your Canva design.
