Create an Image Block Using Canva

Learn how to create an Image Block in your document using Canva. This guide shows you two methods: designing an image directly in the Canva editor from the block options, or uploading a Canva-designed image through a standard Image Block. Once you finish editing in Canva and return to QuoteCloud, your image is automatically inserted into the document for you.

There are two ways to add a Canva image

  1. Add an Image Block first, then open Canva from the image picker.
  2. Open Canva directly from the block options menu.

An Image Block will be added to your page. This block is where your Canva-created image will be placed once it has been designed and uploaded back into QuoteCloud.
