All Platforms Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I use Canva's Brand Kit to maintain consistent branding across all Quote of the Day templates in my community?

Canva's Brand Kit allows you to set your community's official colors, fonts, and logos. Before distributing templates, update each Quote of the Day design to use Brand Kit elements—this helps ensure every quote post aligns with your community's visual identity, even if multiple moderators are scheduling content. Remind contributors to use Brand Kit assets rather than manual color or font selections.

What’s the best way to incorporate Canva Elements and Graphics into Quote of the Day posts without overwhelming the text?

On Quote of the Day posts, visuals should enhance, not distract from, the featured quote. Use Canva’s search filters to find subtle elements (e.g., light textures, minimalist icons, gentle gradients) and place them as background or framing accents. Avoid using busy or animated elements that compete for attention with the text. Test legibility on both desktop and mobile previews before publishing.

How do I encourage members to remix or customize Quote of the Day templates in Canva without breaking copyright or licensing rules?

When sharing templates, remind members to only use Canva’s free assets or those covered by your Canva for Teams/Education license. Discourage uploading copyrighted images or using paid elements unless everyone has access. Encourage members to personalize quotes by changing text or colors using Brand Kit, but provide clear guidelines on respecting Canva asset licensing and proper attribution for external quotes.

How can I leverage Canva’s Collaboration features to schedule and review Quote of the Day content with my moderation team?

Canva's collaboration tools enable real-time feedback. Invite moderators to the design file, use comment features for approvals or edits, and assign specific posts to team members using Canva folders. For scheduled publishing, export final designs and use platform scheduling tools (like Facebook Creator Studio or Buffer) as Canva doesn’t support direct post scheduling for all platforms.

What’s the best Canva template size for Quote of the Day posts to ensure optimal appearance across Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest?

The ideal all-platform template size is 1080x1080px (square), which works well on Instagram feed, Facebook feed, and appears balanced on Pinterest (though Pinterest prefers vertical). If you want Pinterest-optimized versions, use Canva’s Magic Resize tool to quickly adapt the design to 1000x1500px. Always preview each version to ensure text and elements remain legible after resizing.

How do I incorporate community-sourced quotes into Canva templates while maintaining style consistency and proper attribution?

Create a master Canva template with a reserved area for the quote author’s name or community handle. When a member submits a quote, update only the text field and author credit, maintaining fonts and graphic treatments from the template. Consider setting up a submission process with format guidelines, and always get consent to feature members’ words or usernames publicly.
