# How to use Canva templates

### **1. About Canva**

Canva is an online design and visual communication platform with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere. Canva makes designing beautiful creative assets easy for everyone. From social media images, videos, and gifs to posters, websites, booklets, multimedia presentations, and heaps more, Canva is an invaluable tool for helping you level up your design skills, even if you’re just getting started.

### **2. What is a Canva template?**

Preparing images for your Shopify store can be a daunting task. That's why we provide Canva templates along with the theme to make it easier for you. Canva templates are pre-designed graphics that you can customize by adding your own images, editing text, changing colors, and incorporating other elements to create unique banners. You can then upload these banners to your Shopify store.
