Description

Seamless graphic design using assets directly from Kontainer

With the integration between Kontainer DAM and Canva, teams, marketing departments, and educational institutions can work faster and more efficiently when producing visual content. Canva is one of the world’s most popular tools for graphic design, presentations, social media graphics, and campaign materials – and with Kontainer as your digital asset management system (DAM), you get full control over which files are used.

 

Instead of manually uploading files, users can use Kontainer’s file picker to search and fetch images, videos, icons, or documents directly into Canva. All material is retrieved from your central DAM, where it’s organized with metadata, tags, and version control. This ensures that everyone works with the latest, brand-approved files.

 

For many organizations, a challenge is using outdated logos, old images, or graphics without usage rights. This integration removes that risk, saves time, and makes the design process both faster and more secure.

Why a DAM-Integration Matters

In many businesses, teams spend large amounts of time searching for images, graphic elements, and files. When designing in Canva, it frequently happens that the same file is uploaded repeatedly, creating clutter, duplicates, and risk of mistakes.

 

With Kontainer DAM as the single source of truth for digital assets, Canva becomes exclusively an output tool – not a file archive. That means the organization retains full control over what is used in external campaigns, presentations, and marketing material. The result is more professional communication, time savings, and stronger brand management.

 

At the same time, GDPR compliance and advanced access control ensure only approved files are used. This provides security – both legally and in terms of brand protection.


Use Cases

A plugin with many use cases

  • Marketing teams can quickly produce campaign materials for social media without worrying about outdated logos or images.
  • Communications departments can create presentations and reports in Canva using correctly tagged and rights-managed files.
  • Educational institutions can design teaching materials or posts with images, videos, and documents fetched directly from Kontainer.
  • International organizations ensure all markets use the same approved files – not local versions lacking control.
