Video walkthrough

See the complete automation flow

From marking variables in Canva to mapping CSV rows and downloading the finished batch.

Built for production

Scale variations without rebuilding every design

Keep Canva as your design workspace while the extension handles repetitive data entry and export steps.

Flexible variable markers

Use markers such as #name#, #price#, or numbered fields directly in a Canva design.

CSV batch input

Upload a CSV with matching columns. Each row becomes the source data for a new design variation.

Automated make and download

The extension updates each variable, opens Canva's export flow, and downloads results row by row.

Practical export choices

Select PDF Standard, PDF Print, JPG, PNG, MP4, GIF, or use Canva's current default export setting.

Organized file output

Set a download folder and use a #filename# CSV column to keep every variation identifiable.

Progress and resume controls

Track batch progress, pause an active run, and skip already completed CSV rows when restarting work.

Common workflows

More output, less repetitive editing

Use a single approved design system across dozens or hundreds of data-driven versions.

Use a #filename# CSV column to keep large batches organized from the first export.

Product catalogs

Generate product cards, sale graphics, price lists, and marketplace images from spreadsheet rows.

Certificates and IDs

Populate names, dates, course titles, or reference numbers while keeping the template consistent.

Campaign creative

Build localized ads, event announcements, team graphics, and social posts from one master layout.

Personalized assets

Create individualized invitations, offers, labels, and customer-facing visuals at batch scale.
