Canva launches LinkedIn Ads app to streamline campaign creation and publishing

Canva has released an app – Linkedin Ads – to make it easier for users to develop and deploy advertisements from Canva to Linkedin.

The announcement:

In today’s fast-moving marketing world, teams are under pressure to deliver more content – faster and without sacrificing quality. As strategies shift and channels grow, the need for high-impact creative that’s easy to produce and scale has never been clearer.

That’s where the new LinkedIn Ads app for Canva comes in.

Available now to our entire Canva community, the app is designed to streamline how marketing teams create and publish LinkedIn ad campaigns, connecting Canva’s visual communication platform directly with LinkedIn Campaign Manager. From first draft to final asset, it’s now easier than ever to move from idea to impact.

From design to deployment – without the back-and-forth

First demoed live in the keynote at Canva Create, the app gives marketers an end-to-end solution for launching scroll-stopping campaigns. With it, you can:

• Create polished video and image ads using Canva templates built specifically for LinkedIn
• Export creative assets – including videos – directly to your LinkedIn ad account
• Publish campaigns based on exported Canva assets straight to LinkedIn Campaign Manager – no downloads or uploads needed

Whether you’re launching a new product, building your brand, or scaling content across regions, this workflow helps you move faster, stay on-brand, and maximize performance, every time.

Why LinkedIn – and why now?

Whether your campaign features stunning photos or detailed branded designs, dynamic visuals are essential. With nearly 69 million company pages posting on LinkedIn and over 95% of Fortune 500 companies designing on Canva, bringing the platforms together creates a more streamlined workflow to help busy marketers keep up with demand.

With LinkedIn videos generating 1.4x more engagement than static posts – and video viewership growing 36% year over year – marketers are leaning into formats that capture attention and drive connection.

This integration pairs Canva’s flexible design tools with LinkedIn’s reach and targeting power, making it easier for brands of all sizes to produce creative that actually performs.

Built for marketing teams everywhere

This launch also marks Canva’s official certification as a LinkedIn Marketing Partner. The LinkedIn Ads app joins more than 600 apps and integrations available in Canva’s Apps Marketplace – all built to help teams improve workflow efficiency, creative quality, and campaign speed.

Available now to anyone in our Canva community with a LinkedIn Campaign Manager account, this collaboration helps teams and brands boost engagement, make the most of their ad spend, and scale content marketing easily.
