What is Canva?

Canva is a user-friendly graphic design platform that allows anyone to create stunning visuals with ease. While ChurchArt Pro provides the backgrounds and templates, Canva offers additional tools and elements to enhance these designs. You can add your own text, images, and other creative elements to make the templates uniquely yours.

1. Log in to your ChurchArt Pro account.

2. Navigate to the Canva Templates Section: Find this under the "Templates" menu, or use the search bar to locate specific templates.

3. Browse the Templates: Explore the various templates available. We have a wide range of designs suitable for different church events, announcements, and more.

Our Canva templates are pre-designed layouts that you can customize to fit your specific needs. Here’s how to get started:

1. Select a Template: Choose the template you wish to use and click on it.
