With a Canva Pro account, you can upload your favorite fonts across all your projects and marketing materials.

Let’s get started enhancing your designs with customized typography!

First, ensure you have the fonts you want to upload in file formats supported by Canva – OTF, TTF, or WOFF. If the files are zipped, unzip them.

Now, we’ll cover the two easy methods for getting those font files into Canva.

Add Fonts Via Brand Kit

Creating a Brand Kit allows you to quickly add custom fonts that will be easily accessible for all your designs.

To add fonts through a Brand Kit:

1. Go to the Brands tab and click “Create new brand” to make a new Brand Kit. Please give it a name relevant to your brand or project.

2. Under “Brand colors,” you can define the available HEX color codes.

3. Upload any brand logos you plan to use regularly.

4. Scroll down to “Brand fonts” and click “Upload font” to add your files. Make sure you have the right to use the fonts commercially.

5. Canva will ask you to confirm uploading the font is okay; select yes.

6. The font will now be available in your Brand Kit under “Uploaded fonts” for easy access later.

Add Fonts On-the-Fly

If you need a font for a specific project, you can upload it quickly as you create designs.

To add a font on the fly:

1. Open a new design in Canva and insert a text element.
2. Click the text to open the font menu. At the bottom is an option to “Upload font.”
3. Select the font from your files, and Canva will upload it into the design.
4. The font will now appear under “Uploaded fonts” in that text style menu for you to select.

This makes the font available only for the specific design rather than adding it to your complete Brand Kit.

It’s handy when you need a temporary font for one project versus permanent brand fonts. Up to 100 fonts can be uploaded this way.

Tips for Adding and Using Fonts

Adding fonts to Canva is easy, but some tips will ensure the process goes smoothly and that you can use the fonts effectively:

Troubleshooting Upload Issues

Sometimes, font uploads need to be fixed. Here’s how to fix common problems:

Unsupported Format: Canva only allows.OTF, TTF, or.WOFF fonts. If your font file is. ZIP, .OTC, .SVG or another format won’t work. You’ll need to convert it first.

Corrupted Font: If your font file got damaged somehow, Canva won’t be able to read it. Re-download a fresh copy of the font and try uploading again. This usually fixes it.

Licensing Restrictions: Canva blocks fonts that have commercial use restrictions. Make sure the license allows using the font in your designs before uploading.

Large File Size: Font files over 10MB may fail to upload. Try compressing the font using FontSquirrel to reduce the file size.
