Easy Guide to Add Spotify Music to Canva

Part 1. How to Import Spotify Music into Canva Videos

If adding music to Canva videos sounds complicated, don't worry - there's a simple workaround. Spotify tracks can't be imported directly into Canva because of Digital Rights Management, and Canva only accepts audio in formats like MP3 or M4A. Fortunately, there's a straightforward solution.

Here's how it works: Use ViWizard Spotify Music Converter to remove DRM and convert tracks into MP3 or M4A, keeping lossless audio and track info intact. Once the files are ready, they can be dragged directly into the Canva video timeline. From there, you control the timing, the volume, and exactly where the track starts and stops. It's that simple - and it gives you the power to highlight the perfect moment or set just the right mood. Meanwhile, the music library is organized with accurate metadata, making project management much easier.

Convert Spotify Music to MP3 or M4A

Before you can use Spotify music in Canva, it needs to be in a compatible format.

Step 1 Download and install ViWizard Spotify Music Converter on your Windows or Mac computer. Follow the installation prompts, then launch the app.

Step 2 Log in to your Spotify account inside ViWizard. Browse playlists, albums, or liked songs to select the tracks you want to use.

Step 3 Click the "+" icon to add your chosen songs, albums, or playlists to the conversion queue. ViWizard can handle multiple tracks at once.

Step 4 Go to Menu → Preferences → Conversion, and choose MP3 or M4A as your output format. The default settings work well for most projects.

Step 5 Click Convert to start processing the tracks. The progress bar shows which song is currently being converted.

Prepare and Upload Spotify Music Tracks to Canva

After conversion, you need to get the audio into Canva.

On Desktop

Step 1 Open your browser, go to Canva, and log in. If you don't have an account, sign up for free.

Step 2 From your dashboard, click Create a Design to start a new project.

Step 3 In the left toolbar, click Uploads to open the upload section.

Step 4 Click Upload Files to browse your computer, or Upload Folder to select multiple files at once.

Step 5 Find the Spotify music files you converted (MP3 or M4A) and select them.

Step 6 You may see a note saying "Audio files can't be stored in Projects or Folder." Don't worry - your files are still in the Uploads tab, ready to drag onto your design.

On Mobile (iOS/Android)

Step 1 Open the Canva app and log in.

Step 2 Tap the "+" button to start a new design.

Step 3 Tap Uploads → Upload Media → Device to select your converted Spotify files.

Step 4 Once uploaded, the files appear in your Uploads library. You can tap or drag them into your design.

Add Spotify Music Tracks to Canva Video

You can now include your ready-to-use music tracks in a Canva video.

On Desktop

Step 1 Open your Canva project from the dashboard.

Step 2 Navigate to the slide or video section where you want to add music.

Step 3 In the top menu, click File → Import Files, or drag your Spotify files from the Uploads tab onto the timeline.

Step 4 Your converted tracks appear under the Audio tab in the editor.

Step 3 Tap "+ → Audio → Uploads", then select your converted Spotify music.

Step 4 The track will be added to your slide or video. Tap to adjust timing or volume.

Step 5 When finished, tap Share → Download to save your project with all edits.

Part 2. How to Add a Spotify Link to Your Canva Presentation

If the goal isn't to have the music play directly inside the project, linking the tracks can also work. Just like in Google Slides or PowerPoint, Canva allows links to be added to clickable elements, such as text boxes or buttons, which open the track in Spotify Web Player. This is useful for slideshows, team presentations, or class projects where the audience should access the music without cluttering the design.

On Desktop

Step 1 Log in to your Canva account. If you're new, sign up for free.

Step 2 From your dashboard, choose a presentation to edit or click Create a Design to start a new one.

Step 3 Open Spotify in your browser or app.

Step 4 Find the song, album, or playlist you want to link.

Step 5 Right-click the item (or click the three dots) and select Share → Copy Link to copy the Spotify URL.

Step 6 Back in Canva, select the slide where you want to add the link. Click Text or Button from the toolbar to add a clickable element.

Step 7 Click the text box or button, then click the Link icon and paste the Spotify URL. Press Enter. Your element is now clickable.

Step 8 Customize it by adjusting font, color, size, and position.

Step 9 Double-check your slide, then save your project to preserve the Spotify link.

On Mobile (iOS/Android)

Step 1 Open the Canva app and go to your presentation.

Step 2 Copy the Spotify track, album, or playlist link from the Spotify app.

Step 3 Tap the slide where you want the link to appear.

Step 4 Add a text box or button by tapping "+ → Text or Button".

Step 5 Tap the element, select Link, and paste the Spotify URL.

Step 6 Adjust font, color, size, and placement to match your design.

Step 7 Save your project to keep the link active.

Part 3. How to Embed a Spotify Player on Canva Designs

For more interactivity, try embedding a Spotify player for any playlist you want to share. Both creators and viewers can press play directly within the Canva project and listen immediately. Extra design elements can be added around the player so the project feels cohesive, professional, and visually engaging - great for social media posts, promotional material, or online presentations.

On Desktop

Step 1 Open Spotify in your browser and find the track, album, or playlist you want to embed.

Step 2 Click … (More Options) → Share → Copy Link.

Step 3 In Canva, right-click on a blank area and select Paste.

Step 4 The Spotify player appears instantly. Resize and position it on your design.

Step 5 Click the Play button to test playback - it should play directly in Canva.

Note: Embedding may depend on Spotify and Canva updates; if playback doesn't work, click the Spotify icon in the top-right of the player to open it in Spotify for full functionality.

Part 4. Use Spotify-Themed Templates in Canva

Templates make this even easier. Canva has plenty of Spotify-themed templates, many of which include placeholders for album art, music-related visuals, and layouts that match the vibe of a playlist. Tracks can be dropped in, and visuals can be adjusted as needed (colors, fonts, and spacing are easy to tweak). Using these templates can save a lot of design time while keeping projects polished.

On Desktop and Mobile

Step 1 From your Canva dashboard, search for Spotify templates or Music templates.

Step 2 Browse and select a template that fits your project.

Step 3 Click Customize this template and adjust text, colors, images, and layout to match your design.

Step 4 Optionally, upload your own audio files to replace the template's original track.

Step 5 Once finished, save, download, or share your project.

Conclusion

Spotify music can't be added to other video apps directly due to the playback limit. Hence, to use Spotify music on Canva Video, you need to convert Spotify music to MP3 for correctly playing in other apps. To keep the audio quality, ViWizard Spotify Music Converter is the best choice. This tool can download and convert Spotify music with lossless audio quality.
