Connect API — Exports

Exports Overview

The Canva Connect APIs for exporting designs.

The export API allows you to export designs to a chosen format, allowing users to download and view their designs outside of Canva. We currently support the following file formats (and export file type values): PDF (pdf), JPEG (jpg), PNG (png), GIF (gif), Microsoft PowerPoint (pptx), and MP4 (mp4).

Supported export file formats

The following table lists Canva design types, the export file formats they support, and the associated file type values.

Export API

• Create design export job: Create an asynchronous job to export a design from Canva.
• Get design export job: Get the status and results of an export job, including link(s) to the downloadable file(s).

Create Export Job

Create an asynchronous job to export a design from Canva.

Starts a new asynchronous job to export a file from Canva. Once the exported file is generated, you can download it using the URL(s) provided. The download URLs are only valid for 24 hours.

The request requires the design ID and the exported file format type.

Supported file formats (and export file type values): JPG (jpg), PNG (png), GIF (gif), Microsoft PowerPoint (pptx), MP4 (mp4), PDF (pdf), HTML bundle (html_bundle), and standalone HTML (html_standalone).

<Note> This endpoint has the following additional rate limits:

• Integration throttle: Each integration can export a maximum of 750 times per 5-minute window, and 5,000 times per 24-hour window.
• Document throttle: Each document can be exported a maximum of 75 times per 5-minute window.
• User throttle: Each user can export a maximum of 75 times per 5-minute window, and 500 times per 24-hour window. </Note>

<Note> For more information on the workflow for using asynchronous jobs, see API requests and responses. You can check the status and get the results of export jobs created with this API using the Get design export job API. </Note>

HTTP method and URL path

POST https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/exports

This operation is rate limited to 20 requests per minute for each user of your integration.

          * `regular`: Regular quality export.
          * `pro`: Premium quality export.

            NOTE: A `pro` export might fail if the design contains premium elements and the calling user either hasn't purchased the elements or isn't on a Canva plan (such as Canva Pro) that has premium features.
        </Prop.Extras>
      </Prop>

  </Tab>

  <Tab name="jpg">
    Export the design as a JPEG. Compression quality must be provided. Height or width (or both)
    may be specified, otherwise the file will be exported at it's default size.

      </Prop>

      <Prop name="quality" type="integer" required>
        For the `jpg` type, the `quality` of the exported JPEG determines how compressed the exported file should be.

        **Available values:**

        * `failed`
        * `in_progress`
