Getting started
Publish from Canva
Publish a Canva design as a flipbook straight from the Canva editor, without leaving Canva.
Designing in Canva? You can publish the design as an anflip flipbook right from Canva's Share menu, without downloading a PDF.
Publishing a design
- In the Canva editor, click Share at the top right, type anflip in the search box, and choose anflip.
- Fill in the settings:
- Title (optional): leave it empty to use the design's title.
- Who can read it: Public (anyone with the link) or Private (only your workspace).
- Click Connect anflip, sign in to your anflip account (or sign up for free), and click Allow. You only do this once.
- Choose the workspace. What's left of its plan is shown below it.
- Pick the pages to publish and click Publish.
When it's done, click the button in Canva's success window to open the flipbook. It also shows up right away in Dashboard → Flipbooks, where you can adjust it as usual: page effect, interactive elements, lead form, and more.
Who can publish
The workspace list only shows your personal space and the teams where you are an owner, admin, or editor. See Teams and roles.
Changing a published design
Each publication from Canva creates a new flipbook. To update an existing flipbook without changing its link, download the design as a PDF and use Replace PDF in the flipbook editor. Revising the same design often? Use Import from Canva instead: imported flipbooks update with one click on Update from Canva.
Disconnecting
- From Canva: open anflip in the Share menu and click Disconnect.
- From anflip: open Dashboard → Account → Connected apps and click Disconnect next to Canva.
