Canva

Canva creates visual assets such as launch graphics, presentations and printed handouts from templates or a blank design.

What can you make for your app’s launch?

Create the graphic at the size the destination expects. For a class booking app, a header image or a printed workshop flyer can start from the same message, with a separate layout for each place it will appear.

Keep the app’s actual name, date and booking link in the website’s text where visitors can select and read them. A launch graphic can support that message. It does not need to contain every instruction the visitor will use.

When do you need a paid plan or an extra license?

Start with Canva Free and check the design’s elements and download format before relying on them. Some templates, elements and download controls are premium. A graphic may use both free and premium elements.

Check the license for the exact asset and what you want to do with it. Canva’s terms distinguish using content in a design from offering the stock asset on its own. A Canva export is not a blanket license to reuse everything inside it.

How can you plan a handoff without publishing or sharing?

Sketch a fictional workshop flyer on paper. Use made-up copy and a shape you draw yourself. Keep the exercise offline.

  1. Pick the output
    Write down who will use the flyer, its size and whether they need a website graphic or a print file. Write PNG for the first use and check print PDF requirements for the second.
  2. Mark who should change it
    Draw a box for the teammate who needs to edit the Canva design and one for the person who only needs the finished file. Choose which gets a copy or access and write down the intended permission.
  3. Check for material that should stay private
    Circle any photo, name or draft price that would be unsuitable in a handoff. Remove it from the planned output. Do not rely on a PDF crop to hide part of a photo.

What should you share and what should you keep?

Keep the editable design for later changes. Send a flattened graphic or print file when the recipient needs only the finished asset. Check the allowed viewers and whether they can edit before sharing a design link.

Download a format the next tool accepts, such as a PNG graphic or a print PDF. Check the actual file before handing it over. Canva warns that a PDF export can retain an uncropped copy of a cropped image, so remove sensitive source material from the design before exporting.
