This intuitive platform allows both rookies and seasoned designers to create everything from marketing materials to passion projects. With its seamless integration into Metricool, users can now easily schedule their social media posts directly from Canva, streamlining content planning without having to jump between platforms.

Why Create on Canva?
Canva offers an incredible design experience for users at all levels, whether you’re using the free or paid version. Its Pro subscription, which costs $120/year for one person, unlocks advanced features such as premium templates, animations, and access to over 100M photos, graphics, and audio files. It also includes 1TB of cloud storage and advanced content planning tools.
Canva also offers specialized plans for teams and enterprises, making it ideal for social media managers and marketing teams who need approval and collaboration tools. Canva’s accessibility and comprehensive features make it a powerful tool for everyday design needs, especially when paired with Metricool for social media scheduling.
How to Use Canva to Schedule Social Media Posts
There are two main ways to schedule your social media content using Canva:
Canva’s native scheduling tool: This allows users to schedule posts directly to Facebook and Instagram.
Metricool integration: This option expands your scheduling capabilities to more than nine platforms simultaneously, making it a superior choice for social media managers looking to streamline their workflow.
Schedule Social Media Posts with Canva’s Native Tool
Canva’s built-in scheduling tool is simple but limited to Facebook and Instagram. To use it:
Create your design in Canva.
Click the “Share” button, select “Share on social,” and log into your social media accounts.
Choose your platform (Instagram or Facebook), select the post time, and you’re good to go!
However, this feature is only available for Pro users, and it works primarily for Business accounts on both platforms.
