Getting started

Importing designs from Canva

Turn a Canva design into a flipbook without downloading a PDF, then update it in one click whenever the design changes.

Making catalogs, magazines, or brochures in Canva? No need to download a PDF and upload it again. anflip can take the design straight from your Canva account.

Connecting Canva (once)

  1. Open Dashboard → Flipbooks and click Import from Canva.
  2. Click Connect Canva, sign in to Canva, and allow anflip.
  3. You come back to anflip and your Canva designs show up right away.
The Canva connection is personal: it belongs to your anflip account only and is not shared with your team. anflip only reads the designs you pick and never changes anything in Canva.

Importing a design

  1. Click Import from Canva and search for the design if needed.
  2. Click the design. Canva prepares the PDF (usually in under a minute).
  3. A new flipbook appears in the dashboard and starts converting, with the same title as in Canva.

From there you can adjust it as usual: page effect, interactive elements, lead form, and publishing.

Updating from Canva

Made a revision? Edit the design in Canva, then in anflip open the flipbook editor → Pages tab → Update from Canva.

  • The link, QR codes, settings, and interactive elements stay. Readers who already have the link see the latest version.
  • While the new version converts, readers keep seeing the old one.
