Connect Your DAM to Canva with CI HUB!

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

  • Canva has teamed up with CI HUB to make accessing your assets easy.
  • Connect Canva to over 70 DAMs, cloud storage solutions, and even stock image libraries.
  • Effortlessly drag and drop these images, graphics, or data directly into your designs.
  • Navigate your DAM folders, search, upload, and update files – without leaving the Canva platform.
  • Export and upload completed designs from Canva straight to your asset storage solution

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!

A New Era of Connected Content Creation


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!

Why CI HUB + Canva?


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 On top of that, brand consistency takes a hit when outdated or unapproved files sneak into designs.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.

  • Search, Upload & Update Files: Quickly locate the right assets, upload new content, or replace outdated files, all within Canva, no extra steps required.

  • Version Control: Work confidently knowing you’re always using the latest, approved assets, which reduces mistakes and ensures compliance.

Real Impact for Creative Teams


This integration simplifies workflows and delivers real, measurable results. Studies show that creative professionals spend up to 25% of their time just searching for, downloading, or uploading files. With CI HUB inside Canva, that lost time is dramatically reduced.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

  • Marketing Teams: Launch campaigns faster by pulling in always-up-to-date assets, without waiting for file transfers or approvals.
