Today we will tell you how to create your own branding and design kit using Canva for free. This platform allows us to work online from the free subscription or from its paid version.
The free version of Canva is quite comprehensive, so we recommend that you try this method first before using the paid subscription.
A brand kit is a guide with graphic elements that allow you to better manage the branding of your company or business, generally through social networks or the internet.
It is essential to make sure you provide all the relevant information about your company or brand. The objective of a media kit is to be able to capture people’s attention so that you can attract potential new clients and make yourself better known.
How can I incorporate my company brand into my Canva design?
You must create your media kit so that it is unique and that everyone recognizes it immediately, for that you can create and design a modern logo using the color palette of your own brand and apply the same typeface.
With Canva you have a wealth of template options that you can use as a base to create your own branding and design kit. Or you can use your own templates.
A branding and design kit involves:
- Colors
- Fonts
- Graphic style
- Applications
In order to create your brand kit, you must already have defined some basic aspects about the personality or style that you want your company or business to carry, such as a logo and a legend, goal or objective. Once you have a defined visual image we are going to create our own brand kit.
How to create a branding and design kit using Canva for free online

It will offer you different options. From the button at the top of the screen to your right Custom dimensions, enter the width and height that you want to give to your design. Then click Create a layout.
As always, a new tab opens, with a blank sheet to start the design and the entire tools menu to your left. Upload a template you have of your brand’s design, or opt for one of those offered by Canva.
Now go to Your brand, also from the menu on the left. From there, you can upload images of your logo either in PNG, JPG or SVG or in a vector from Uploaded files> Upload a new file.
You can upload all the images you want and access each of them with a single click once they have been uploaded. In this way, they will remain on the design sheet and will be ready to be edited (for example, you can even make a pixelated effect on them).
If you want to set or change the color of your brand, from the Color Palette tab at the top of the screen, choose all the colors you want. We always recommend that they be no more than two or three.
To be able to modify the typography of the text, be it color, spacing, line spacing, size, transparency, or font, you must go to the Typography tab from the top of the screen.
Regarding the font of the text, you can use some of the fonts that Canva has or upload your own font. To do this, you must search for it in Google and download the font file.
