Add Images From Canva

Simplify your content creation process by adding Canva images directly from Compose. Head to the Canva design editor to create eye-catching and brand-approved designs on the fly or import media from a design folder.

Statusbrew supports a range of preset Canva templates tailored for each social network. Based on the network you’re posting to, the correct dimensions are automatically selected, helping you maintain a consistent and professional look across all channels.

How To Add Images To A Post?

You can add your images from your Canva account directly to your post in Compose. To add images from Canva:

1. Go to Compose.

2. Select the profiles you want to post to from the Profile Picker.

3. Create your post.

4. In the Media section, select Browse options > Design with Canva.

5. Choose a template. These templates help set the size of your design according to social network’s recommend size, but you can also choose custom size (Refer to Template dimensions later in this article). The Canva design editor will open.

6. The first time you use Canva in Statusbrew, you’ll need to sign up or log in to an existing Canva account.

7. Select a template, choose a file from a folder, or upload a locally saved file and edit it in Canva.

8. Click Publish. Your image is added to Compose and is ready to post.

Note: Due to API limitations, any files you create via Statusbrew are NOT saved to your Canva account. Only media files created through Canva’s app will be saved to your Canva account.

Hence, closing Canva without selecting Publish will discard your design.

Editing A Canva Media

Visuals created with Canva in Statusbrew can be edited in Statusbrew’s image editor.

When composing a new post, or editing scheduled or draft content, hover over the image and then select Edit options > Edit image. Statusbrew’s image editor will open where you can make the required changes and select EXPORT IMAGE.

You will return to the Media dialog where you can Add alt text or Add description.

Alt text applies to Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, X, Google Business, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky and TikTok. Description applies only to Facebook.

You can also use AI to get help generating Alt text for your image by clicking Generate using AI.
