As you may or may not already know, I’m a big fan of Canva.
And because I happen to be such a sucker for high-quality brand fonts, one of my personal fave Canva features is the ability to upload your own fonts to the platform.
So in this post, I’ll be showing you how to do just that! And don’t you worry— it’s an incredibly quick & simple process. :)
With that being said, you do need to be signed up with a Canva Pro (previously Canva for Work) plan, as this feature currently isn’t available with the free version of Canva.
So go ahead & feel free to click the button below if you want to test out Canva Pro free for 30 days…
… or check out my complete Canva Pro Review to learn more about the features included!
Alrighty, now let’s get to uploading that beautiful font of yours! :)
1. Download Font(s) to your computer
Before you can upload your Canva fonts, you’ll first need to download them to your computer! If you already have the font you want to use, you can go ahead & skip to the next section.
However, if you need some inspiration, here’s a couple of the best paid and free font resources available out there on the interwebz. :)
Google Fonts
Google Fonts is an amazing resource that’s jam-packed with free fonts that you can upload to Canva!
Start by going to fonts.google.com.
Once you’re there, you can filter through the categories & options to find something you like.
After you select one of the fonts, you’ll see a little black box pop up at the bottom of your screen that says, “1 Family Selected”.
Once you’re finished with everything, you can go ahead & click that…
… select the little download icon…
… then select “Download”, and your new font will be downloaded to your desktop in a compressed ZIP format!
Creative Market
Creative Market is my go-to resource for pretty much anything & everything creative… including fonts!

2. Upload your fonts to Canva
Once you’re in Canva, you can select your Canva Brand Kit located on the left-hand side of your screen…
…and you’ll see your Brand Kit pop-up in your browser.
Now go to the section that says, “Uploaded Fonts”.
Then scroll down until you see a button that says, “Upload a font”.
Select your font(s) from wherever you saved them to on your desktop.
PS— make sure you’ve unzipped the compressed file… you can’t upload ZIP files to Canva.
Now you’ll just need to confirm that you have the rights to the font by clicking, “Yes, upload away!”.
Aaaand your custom font will be uploaded to the platform for you to use on all future design projects! Whoop whoop :)
And there you have it— how easy-peezy lemon squeezy was that?!
