The only problem is that you wish you could merge them into one amazing design. How can you merge two designs together in Canva?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To merge two designs in Canva select and copy all of the elements in one of your designs and paste them into your other design, which will merge them. If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of changes to make, another option is to download a static image of one of your designs and upload it into your other design.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn&rsquo;t a quick and easy &ldquo;merge&rdquo; button in Canva. Jeff Probst isn&rsquo;t going to celebrate your merge with a feast and new buffs (any Survivor fans out there?).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, despite needing to take a few steps, merging your designs in Canva is pretty simple. And, luckily, we&rsquo;re about to walk through it together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"how-to-merge-two-canva-designs-by-copying-and-pasting\">How to Merge Two Canva Designs By Copying and Pasting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The easiest way to merge two Canva designs is to copy and paste them. Click and drag your mouse across your entire design to select all of the elements in your first design and copy them. Go to your second design and paste the elements from your first design into it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I prefer this merging method is because it gives you more control over your designs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once merged, you&rsquo;ll still be able to individually manipulate your design elements, which gives you the power to create a new and unique design out of your two merged designs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/one-canva-design-copied-and-pasted-to-another.png\" alt=\"one canva design copied and pasted to another\" class=\"wp-image-5296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/one-canva-design-copied-and-pasted-to-another.png 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/one-canva-design-copied-and-pasted-to-another-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/one-canva-design-copied-and-pasted-to-another-768x363.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"378\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20800%20378'%3E%3Crect%20width='800'%20height='378'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"one canva design copied and pasted to another\" class=\"wp-image-5296 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/one-canva-design-copied-and-pasted-to-another.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/one-canva-design-copied-and-pasted-to-another.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/one-canva-design-copied-and-pasted-to-another.png.webp 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/one-canva-design-copied-and-pasted-to-another-300x142.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/one-canva-design-copied-and-pasted-to-another-768x363.png.webp 768w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Another perk with this merging method is that you can decide to merge the entirety of your designs, or just pieces of them. Let&rsquo;s say you only have a few elements of your first design that you want to merge into your second design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this method, it&rsquo;s easy to do that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s walk through the steps of merging your two Canva designs with copying and pasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Go to your first design.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn&rsquo;t matter which of your two designs you choose. That said, if you have a design that has a lot more elements than the other, it will make your life a tad bit easier to start with the design that has fewer elements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Click and drag your mouse across all of your elements.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by clicking your mouse outside of your design and hold down. Drag your mouse across your entire design so that the entire thing is selected.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/selecting-canva-design-elements.png\" alt=\"selecting canva design elements\" class=\"wp-image-5295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/selecting-canva-design-elements.png 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/selecting-canva-design-elements-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/selecting-canva-design-elements-768x361.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/selecting-canva-design-elements.png.webp\" alt=\"selecting canva design elements\" class=\"wp-image-5295 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/selecting-canva-design-elements.png.webp 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/selecting-canva-design-elements-300x141.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/selecting-canva-design-elements-768x361.png.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/selecting-canva-design-elements.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you only want to merge a few elements from one design to another, just drag and select those few elements.
