What moves

Bringing your data from Canva

Your data is read in your own browser and sent to your Calisto account. Calisto never sees your login for the old system.

From an export file

Export your data from Canva and drop the file in. It is read in your browser and mapped onto Calisto.

Any spreadsheet you export from Canva can be mapped onto Calisto, column by column.

Questions about switching

Can I bring my Canva designs?

Not as Canva files. Download a design as PDF Print or SVG, or as PowerPoint for a presentation, and import it in Calisto Templates. Each one becomes a template in its builder.

What about Canva’s stock elements?

The import notes a file made in Canva and flags it for review. Before you sell a template, make sure you hold the rights to every photo, illustration and element in it.

What happens to my fonts?

A typeface outside the free library is drawn in the nearest free family, and the import report names the swap.
