The ability to use custom fonts in your design work can significantly enhance the overall impression you create. Fortunately, Canva, one of the most popular graphic design tools, enables you to upload and use your own fonts. This guide will walk you through the process of uploading fonts to Canva on your mobile device.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, it’s important to note that the ability to upload custom fonts is only available to Canva Pro, Canva for Enterprise, Canva for Nonprofits, and Canva for Education users. If you’re using the free version of Canva, you’ll have to stick with the fonts they provide.
Steps to Upload Fonts in Canva Mobile
Unfortunately, as of now, Canva does not allow font uploading directly from the mobile app. However, you can upload fonts to your Canva account using a desktop computer, and those fonts will then be available for you to use in the mobile app. Here’s how you can do it:
- Step 1: Open the Canva website on your desktop and log in to your Canva Pro account.
- Step 2: From the home page, click on the ‘Brand Kit’ tab in the left-hand menu.
- Step 3: In the Brand kit, you’ll find a section named ‘Uploaded fonts’. Click on the ‘Upload a font’ button.
- Step 4: Choose the font file from your computer. Make sure it’s in TTF, OTF, or WOFF format. Then click on ‘Open’ to upload the font.
Once you’ve uploaded your custom fonts, they’ll be accessible on your Canva mobile app when you’re logged into the same account. Just go to the text tool, and you’ll find your uploaded fonts at the top of the font list.
Conclusion
While it would be more convenient if Canva allowed mobile users to upload fonts directly from their devices, for now, the workaround of uploading from a desktop computer is relatively simple and easy to follow. Hopefully, this guide has helped you understand how to use your own fonts in Canva mobile.
