🚨 Important Troubleshooting & Tips

Using the Canva Import Tool will save you countless hours of time from having to recreate your designs by hand in Corjl.

However, because of the differences between the two platforms, there will likely be some issues with your designs that you will need to manually adjust for a successful import.

🖼️ SVG Conversion Issues

You may see the following issues with SVG image when importing your designs:

• If an SVG image in Canva has opacity/transparency or other Effect applied to it, Canva may flatten or rasterize it into a PNG upon export. If this occurs, color changing ability will be limited to using the Hue image style.
• SVG images with lots of complicated parts may either be merged together with other SVG images, or broken up into smaller SVGs.
  • One solution is to isolate the parts of broken up SVG images onto a single page and then download the image as a PNG. Then you can upload the new PNG back into Corjl for use in the design.

🔠 Font Conversion Behavior

• Fonts must be previously uploaded into your Corjl account for it to properly be assigned to text in imported designs.
  • This means that unless Corjl can find the matching font in your Corjl account, a generic font will be used in text boxes in Imported designs.
  • It is strongly advised that you upload the fonts from your Font Library into the Asset area of Corjl before importing your Canva designs.

🪟 Clipping Mask/Frames Behavior

• Images that have been clipped to Frames in Canva will become unattached during the Import process. You can reattach images to these Frames using the steps outlined here.
• Images that have been cropped in Canva will transfer over uncropped in your imported designs. You can re-crop images by double-clicking on them and cropping with the image controls.
