From design to launch: How to create TikTok ads in Canva

Creativity drives success on TikTok, where ideas turn into videos that inspire communities and deliver real business results. Many businesses already create their marketing in Canva. Brand kits live there. Campaign visuals get designed there. Teams rely on it every day to produce social content and ads.

Now, with TikTok and Canva, those same businesses can turn the creative they're already building into live TikTok campaigns faster than ever. Through our expanded partnership with Canva, a badged TikTok Marketing Partner, businesses, creators, and marketers can design TikTok-ready videos in Canva and publish directly to TikTok in just a few clicks, with no downloads or extra steps.

Introducing our latest integrations

TikTok and Canva have introduced two new integrations designed to simplify the journey from design to deployment, helping businesses create, publish, and launch campaigns faster on TikTok.

• TikTok in the Canva Apps Marketplace: Design and send ad creatives to TikTok Ads Manager

• TikTok in Canva Grow: Create and launch campaigns with Canva's AI-powered ad builder

Together, these integrations simplify the path from idea to impact, helping businesses move faster from design to launch while reaching new audiences on TikTok.

TikTok in the Canva Apps Marketplace

TikTok is now available in Canva's Apps Marketplace, bringing TikTok creation and publishing directly into the Canva platform.

With the new TikTok for Canva app, advertisers and creators can design TikTok-ready videos using Canva's tools and templates, then publish content or send ad creatives directly to TikTok Ads Manager without leaving Canva.

The workflow is simple:

1. Create your video in Canva using templates, brand kits, or existing assets

2. Connect your TikTok Ads Manager account

3. Send your creative directly to your TikTok Asset Library

By bringing creation and publishing into a single workflow, this integration eliminates extra steps and reduces production friction. Canva's TikTok-ready templates are optimized for vertical video and platform-native storytelling, making it easier to turn existing content into engaging TikTok ads.

TikTok in Canva Grow

TikTok is also integrated with Canva Grow, Canva's AI-powered campaign builder designed to help businesses launch ads more quickly.

Canva Grow enables businesses to move from idea to campaign in just a few steps:

• Start with your website or business inputs

• Generate ad creative using AI-powered recommendations

• Publish ads directly to TikTok with guided setup

By connecting creative generation with TikTok's publishing and advertising capabilities, Grow helps businesses quickly turn content into live campaigns. It also provides insights to help improve performance over time.

For small and growing businesses, this creates a simpler, more accessible way to get started with TikTok advertising and scale with confidence.
