Want to bring your Canva website into Wix? Whether you need to embed a design or fully transfer your Canva-built website to Wix, this guide walks you through all the steps to make it happen with ease.
Understanding Canva and Wix Compatibility
Canva allows users to create simple landing pages and websites, while Wix is a full-fledged website builder offering broader customization. Unfortunately, Canva websites can't be exported in traditional HTML or direct migration formats, but you can still embed designs or recreate content within Wix.
How to Embed a Canva Website into Wix
One of the easiest ways to showcase your Canva website or design in Wix is by embedding it using an iframe. Canva provides a public embed code for each project.
Steps to Embed Canva in Wix
- Open your design or website in Canva.
- Click Share → More → choose Embed.
- Click Copy to grab the Canva embed code.
- Go to your Wix Editor.
- Click “+” Add → Embed → Embed a Widget.
- Paste the copied code into the iframe box.
- Resize and position the embedded design on your page.
How to Transfer a Canva Website to Wix
Since Canva doesn’t allow exporting full websites to be uploaded elsewhere, the best method is to rebuild your Canva website inside the Wix editor.
Manual Transfer Process
- Content Copying: Manually copy all text content from your Canva pages to Wix text boxes.
- Image Download: Download images or graphics used in Canva and upload them to Wix’s media library.
- Design Recreation: Use Wix layout tools to mimic your Canva structure and style.
Optimizing Canva Integration in Wix
Embedding your Canva design isn't just about appearance. Make sure the integration works well across devices and supports your website goals.
Adjust layout and sizing
- Use Stretch and Anchor tools in Wix to keep your iframe responsive.
- Center the Canva embed to maintain consistent spacing on all screen sizes.
Set permissions in Canva
- Ensure your Canva link is set to “Anyone with the link can view”.
- Private links will not display in Wix embeds.
Add buttons or navigation
- Use Wix’s button elements to direct visitors to other internal pages.
- You can link directly to other embedded Canva designs if needed.
Alternatives to Embedding Canva in Wix
If iframe embedding doesn’t meet your needs, consider these alternatives:
Recreate in Wix: For full control over responsiveness, SEO, and interactive features, recreate your design using Wix elements.
Use Canva exports: Download designs as PNG/JPEG and place them in Wix with hyperlinks or buttons for navigation.
Link to Canva page: Instead of embedding, link to the live Canva website using a Wix button or anchor text.
Troubleshooting Embed Issues
If your Canva design isn’t showing up on Wix, here are some common solutions:
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Canva design not loading | Check sharing permissions and verify embed code is correct. |
| Embed is cut off or misaligned | Resize the iframe manually in Wix and use Stretch settings. |
| Not responsive on mobile | Adjust anchor points and preview mobile mode in Wix Editor. |
