Keeping a consistent look across your social media, website, and emails can be tough when you’re running the show solo. But imagine if you had pre-designed templates, ready to go, that perfectly fit your brand and take the stress out of content creation!
That’s where Canva’s brand templates come in. They’re an absolute lifesaver for saving time, keeping everything looking on-brand, and freeing you up to focus on other things. Let’s dive into why brand templates are one of my favourite Canva features and how you can make the most of them for your business.
What Are Canva Brand Templates?
Brand templates are a Canva Pro feature that allows you to save your unique brand style and post templates in one easy-to-access spot. All of your fonts, colours, logos and layouts all pre-set and ready to use, so every time you create content, it looks cohesive and on-brand without you having to think twice!
Why They’re a Game-Changer
- Save Time with Pre-set Branding
Once you set up your brand templates, you can skip re-selecting colours and fonts every time you create a new post or graphic. That means less time tweaking and more time focusing on what really matters in your business (or finding those extra moments with your family!).
- Perfectly Consistent Look
Having a polished, cohesive look is essential, especially when potential clients come across your brand on multiple platforms. With brand templates, your audience sees the same recognisable colours and fonts across Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and beyond. It’s a subtle way to build trust and give a professional first impression without the need for a designer.
Top Tips for Using Canva Brand Templates
- Make the Most of Frames
Frames are a Canva element that gives you a placeholder space for your images – simply drag and drop images into frames to refresh your templates without any fuss. This feature is ideal for seasonal updates or showcasing new products, giving you a professional look with ease. - Set Up Templates for Each Platform
From posts on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn to Instagram reels or Pinterest pins, each social media platform has different dimensions. Canva makes it easy to create templates that look perfect on them all, helping you avoid any reformatting headaches. - Use Templates for All Your Business Content
Social media is only the beginning. Use brand templates for email headers, digital freebies, and even presentations. This way, you’re creating consistency across every point of contact with your audience, showing them a unified, memorable brand.
