Work Smarter. Design Faster.
No more wasted hours switching between tools. Connect your DAM to Canva with CI HUB and keep your creative flow uninterrupted.
July 21, 2025
Canva and CI HUB are partnering to bring all your creative assets stored in your DAM directly into Canva. No more downloading, uploading, or digging through folders. Access, drag, and drop your graphics from over 70 leading Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems and cloud storage solutions directly into your Canva designs and projects.
TL;DR
Creating at speed and scale is what Canva is all about. But the best creative work gets done when you have the right content, where you need it, when you need it. Too often, hunting down the right logo, product image, or brand-approved asset disrupts the creative flow and slows teams down.
That's why we're thrilled to share our new integration, which will bridge the gap between your digital asset libraries and your Canva designs!
This powerful new integration connects all relevant DAM systems and cloud storage systems with the world's leading creativity platform. This will make Canva your go-to tool for content creation across your enterprise, embedding it into creative workflows and giving everyone secure access to the company’s pre-approved assets in one simple panel.
For creative teams, this helps everyone to stay aligned, on-brand, and moving fast, while individual creators can typically save up to 40% of their time normally lost to searching, downloading, and other redundant manual tasks!
Creative projects often stall when teams waste valuable hours hunting for the right logo, image, or template buried across different drives or emails. On top of that, brand consistency takes a hit when outdated or unapproved files sneak into designs.
Here’s why it matters:
Work Faster: Skip the back-and-forth of switching between apps or drives. Everything you need is instantly accessible in Canva.
Stay Consistent: Ensure every design uses approved logos, images, and templates, eliminating brand risks.
Collaborate Seamlessly: Distributed teams worldwide tap into a single source of truth, making collaboration smoother and more scalable.
By connecting CI HUB with Canva, you will get a design process that boosts speed, ensures compliance, and fuels creativity at scale.
