Have you ever wondered how to add a hyperlink to text and elements in Canva?
We can easily do this in seconds! This is fantastic for creating marketing material to showcase on our websites, blogs, and presentations. We can add hyperlinks so visitors can visit and access our website and content and/or connect with us via our Social Media Profiles with ease… just one click!
Some ideas for use are:
- Promotional Offer
- Media and Press Release
- Author Bio
- … and more
Another bonus is that visitors can easily download this content (ie. Marketing Poster) and all hyperlinks remain active.
Below, you’ll see the Blogging Essentials Guide, which I created in Canva. I then uploaded my PDF design to this blog post. I’ve created numerous hyperlinks throughout the document.
NOTE: Adding and accessing hyperlinks to text and elements is restricted to designs that are downloaded as a PDF or shared as a Presentation. They do not work, as described, on JPEG or PNG image files.

If you have a Canva account, you’re good to go. If you’re new to Canva, you can easily create a free account here, or use the link below.
Okay, let’s get started. ♥
Once you’re logged into Canva and created your design, you can easily add web links to text and elements following these few steps.
First, select the text or element, and you’ll see the + icon and three dots (More appears on hover).
Next, click on More.
You’ll see a list of options.
Click on Link.
NOTE: You can also access these options by right clicking after you selected your text or element.
Next, entire you link and press enter
The text is now linked and you’ll notice that the text is underlined.
If you’d like to remove the underline you can easily do this by highlighting the text and clicking on the underline icon. I removed the underline in my design.
You can delete the link, as well.
Select your text and you’ll see the options, as displayed below.
You can download your design as a PDF File or view it as a Presentation and you’re done.
To view/present as a Presentation, click on Share > Presentation.
To download as PDF, click on Share > Dowload > PDF.
At the beginning of my post, I included my design created as a PDF.
If you’re not sure how to upload a PDF to WordPress, you’re most welcome to pop by my recent blog post ~ How to Upload a PDF File in WordPress for Viewing and Easy Download!
Canva is a fantastic creativity and marketing tool that makes design fun, and it’s free!

Blogging Essentials Guide
After seven years of blogging, I thought I’d put together a Resource Guide with a list of essential tools and resources I use in hopes that it may prove helpful to fellow bloggers – newbies and/or not-so-newbies alike. After all, we’re always learning in this form of engagement. ♥
