Figma to Canva
Export your Figma designs to Canva — with as much editability as possible.
Figma to Canva is a design transfer tool by Pixel Tinkers. It connects a Figma plugin and a Canva companion app so you can move frames, slides, and content from Figma into Canva without rebuilding your design from scratch.
What Figma to Canva does
Figma to Canva helps designers and teams move work from Figma to Canva while preserving layout, typography, shapes, and images wherever the platforms allow.
Export up to 20 frames
Export up to 20 frames or slides per session from Figma or Figma Slides.
Editable elements
Import designs into Canva as editable elements when supported — text, shapes, images, and groups.
Auto-rasterize complex layers
Automatically rasterize gradients, effects, and blend modes so nothing is lost visually.
Linked sessions
Link your Figma and Canva sessions so exports are available only to you.
24-hour cloud storage
Temporary cloud storage so you can import on another device within 24 hours.
Figma to Canva is intended for creative professionals, marketing teams, and anyone who uses both Figma and Canva and wants to continue editing their work in Canva.
How it works
Install the Figma plugin
Open Figma, install the Export to Canva plugin, and sign in with Google.
Select content
Choose the frame(s) or slide(s) you want to move to Canva.
Export
The plugin analyzes each layer and sends the export to our secure backend over HTTPS.
Open Canva
Launch the Figma to Canva app inside Canva and import your export.
Edit in Canva
Your design appears on Canva pages, ready to refine, share, or publish.
Why Figma to Canva uses Google Sign-In
Figma to Canva uses Google Sign-In in the Figma plugin so we can:
- Identify your account securely across the Figma plugin and Canva companion app
- Associate your exports with you so only you can access your transferred designs
- Personalize your experience with your name and profile photo inside the app
- Provide support when you contact us about your account or exports
When you choose Sign in with Google, we request the following OAuth scopes:
| Scope | Purpose |
|---|---|
openid | Verify your identity through Google's authentication service |
email | Identify your account and match exports between Figma and Canva |
profile | Display your name and profile photo in the app |
What we access from Google
- • Your Google account ID
- • Your email address (when provided by Google)
- • Your display name and profile photo
What we do NOT access
- • We do not read your Gmail, Google Drive, or Calendar
- • We do not access Figma files through Google
- • We never see or store your Google password
Google Sign-In is handled by Google's OAuth service. We receive only the profile information you authorize. Authentication tokens are stored securely on our backend to keep you signed in and to protect access to your exports.
For full details on data collection, retention, and deletion, see our Privacy Policy.
Your design data
When you export from Figma, Figma to Canva temporarily processes design data on our backend so the Canva app can import it:
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Export metadata (layout, text, styles, element properties) | 24 hours, then automatically deleted |
| Generated images (PNG, JPEG, SVG) | 24 hours, then automatically deleted |
| Pairing codes (to link Figma and Canva) | Short-lived; deleted when used or expired |
Exports are accessible only to the signed-in user who created them. We do not sell, rent, or use your design content for advertising.
