Keep all your workspace creatives in one place for easy reuse.
You can store all your brand creatives in your workspace Media Library. Simply upload your files and reuse them across posts whenever needed.
The Media Library supports images, GIFs, and videos. Files uploaded in posts are automatically saved here, making them easy to reuse later. You can also export designs from Canva directly to the Media Library.
Media Library access is available to editors, admins, and workspace owners.
