Canva to Video for campaign designs that need to move
Bring the approved designs your team already made in Canva and turn them into a complete motion story. Add narration, pacing, and captions while preserving the campaign's visual direction, then prepare other channel variants as separate edits.

How it works
Export from Canva, drop it in, ship a video in minutes.
No screen recording the Canva editor, no separate voiceover pass, no rebuilding the design in a video tool. Download the design as PPTX or PDF, accept the storyboard, ship a branded video.
Export the design from Canva
In Canva, open Share and pick Download as PowerPoint (PPTX) or Download as PDF. That export carries your page order, text, and visuals out of the editor and into a file ngram can read.
Drop the file in
Upload the PPTX or PDF up to 100 MB, or paste the talk track if you'd rather skip the export. ngram pulls page order, on-design copy, and embedded images, no manual outline required.
ngram plans the scenes
Every Canva page becomes a scene. Headlines turn into hooks, body copy gets rewritten into narration, and the graphics, charts, and product shots you designed become the on-screen visuals.
Review and export the video
Walk the scene-by-scene storyboard, reorder pages, swap the voice, or rewrite a line in plain language. Then render an MP4 in 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16 with captions and your brand styling burned in.
Output controls
Your Canva design, reimagined as motion, with real controls underneath.
Per-page scene split
Each Canva page becomes its own scene, with timing tuned to how much copy sits on the design. Merge two sparse pages into one scene, or split a dense infographic into two, without going back to the Canva editor.
Narration from your page copy
ngram reads the headlines and body text you wrote in Canva and drafts a talk track from them. Paste your own narration to override it, or rewrite any line in chat before the voiceover renders.
Prepare each channel edit separately
Set the intended channel and aspect ratio for the Canva video, then review the crop, caption placement, and CTA before exporting one MP4. Prepare another channel version as a separate edit.
Brand Kit over the Canva look
Apply your ngram brand kit (logo, colors, fonts, intro and outro cards, motion style) on top of the exported design, so a video built from a marketing template still ships as your brand, not Canva's.
Burned-in captions per scene
Auto-generated captions, styled to brand and anchored to each scene's narration. Most Canva-derived videos get watched muted in a feed, so captions ship on by default. Edit a script line and the caption follows.
Localize as a separate edit
Translate the script and captions, regenerate the voiceover in the target language, and review the localized video before rendering it separately. Useful when one social design needs to run in several markets.
Motion on static graphics
The charts, stat blocks, and icon rows you laid out flat in Canva get animated callouts and staged reveals instead of appearing all at once, so a still design plays like a produced clip.
Security and data handling
Your uploaded design stays in your workspace, and you can delete your account and data anytime from Settings. Talk to sales about security, access controls, and data handling for your team.
The rest of ngram
The Canva-to-video step is one node. The rest of the product picks up where the design ends.
PPT to Video for Canva exports
Download the Canva design as PPTX or PDF, then map its pages to narrated video scenes in the deck workflow. The result is an MP4, not a regenerated presentation file.
Learn moreScript Generation
The text on your Canva pages becomes a full talk track. Where a design page is mostly visual with little copy, the agent drafts a narration line from the headline and lets you rewrite it in chat.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Pair the design with a brand voice from ElevenLabs or MiniMax. Slow the pacing on a dense infographic page, lift the energy on the closing CTA card, all described in plain language.
Learn moreCaptions
Auto-burned captions per scene, styled to the brand kit. They matter here because a Canva social design almost always lands in a muted LinkedIn or Instagram feed where the caption is the message.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, colors, fonts, intro, outro, and motion style applied to every scene. Keeps the video on-brand even when the source design started from a generic Canva template the whole internet has.
Learn moreConvert the finished Canva video
Studio exports the finished Canva video as one MP4. If the destination calls for MOV, WebM, or MKV, run that MP4 through Video Converter as a separate one-file, one-output conversion.
Learn moreUse cases
Canva designs that earn a second life as video.
Launch designs shipped as a public video
The launch graphics you built in Canva become the public video the marketing team posts on LinkedIn, YouTube, and the launch page. Same artwork, now narrated and timed.
See use caseStatic social designs as scroll-stopping clips
A Canva carousel or single-image post becomes a short looping video with motion and captions, the version of the post that actually stops the scroll in a muted feed.
See use caseCanva pitch decks that work after the call
Export the rep-built Canva pitch deck and turn it into a self-running video the prospect can forward to the rest of the buying committee, no calendar invite required.
See use caseConcept designs as explainer videos
An idea you sketched out across a few Canva pages becomes the explainer you embed on the landing page. Same visual logic, now with narration and branded pacing.
See use caseTraining designs as self-paced modules
The course or onboarding deck you laid out in Canva becomes a narrated video module learners can replay, without booking another live session to walk the slides.
See use caseOnboarding designs customers finish
Swap the long Canva onboarding PDF attached to the welcome email for a short branded video. Same steps, much higher completion than a static document gets.
See use caseCreator designs as short-form video
Turn the Canva templates you built for a post into ready-to-publish vertical clips, so the same design feeds the feed in both static and video form.
See use caseAll-hands designs as async video
The all-hands or culture deck you designed in Canva turns into an async video for everyone who missed the meeting. Captioned, on-brand, watchable in any timezone.
See use caseOther converters
Different source, same engine.
Canva to video shares the scene planner, brand kit, voiceover stack, and export pipeline with the rest of ngram's converters. If your design left the editor in another format, there's a direct path for it.
The closest sibling. A Canva Download as PowerPoint lands as a PPTX, the same file the PPT-to-video pipeline reads page by page.
Open converterDownloaded the Canva design as a PDF instead? Send the PDF straight in. The PDF pipeline reads the same pages without a PPTX conversion in between.
Open converterIf the deck moved from Canva into Google Slides, convert the Slides deck directly instead of round-tripping back through a Canva export.

What you reach for around the Canva conversion.
Editing the design-video further
Once the first cut is back from your Canva pages
Video Editor
Trim a scene that runs long, reorder two pages, or drop a B-roll clip between two design-scenes on a real timeline, the frame-level view of the Canva-derived draft.
Open toolAdd Subtitles to Video
If a design-video lands without captions, burn in styled subtitles per scene so the muted-feed viewers who see your Canva social post as video can still follow it.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Pull the strongest 30-second scene out of the design-video for a teaser, cut straight from the same Canva export rather than re-editing the design.
Open toolAdd Music to Video
Choose a licensed track for the design video, set it under the narration, and adjust the level so it supports the page-by-page voiceover.
Open toolGenerating visuals from scratch
If a Canva page left a gap the design didn't fill
AI Image Generator
Fill the gap when a Canva page reads 'image placeholder' but ships empty. Generate an on-brand image for that scene instead of jumping back into the editor to source one.
Open toolAI Video Generator
Skip the design entirely for a scene that needs motion footage. Describe the clip in chat and let ngram generate B-roll to drop between your Canva page-scenes.
Open toolAI Avatar Video Generator
Pair the design narration with a synthetic presenter who introduces the deck on camera before the Canva pages take over the screen.
Open toolText to Speech Video
Have the talk track but no exported design yet? Generate a narrated video from the text and use it as the base the Canva visuals slot into.
Open toolPolishing the source and the voice
Sharpen the script and audio before you convert
Video Script Generator
Rewrite the copy from your Canva pages into a tighter narration script (sales tone vs. internal tone) before you convert the same export again.
Open toolAI Voice Generator
Audition voices against the design narration, lock the one that fits the brand, and reuse it on the next Canva design you turn into video.
Open toolVideo Translator
Once the English design-video is out, translate the script and captions and regenerate the voiceover for every locale the campaign runs in.
Open toolAuto Subtitle Generator
Already recorded a walkthrough of the Canva design instead of exporting it? Generate subtitles for that recording rather than re-rendering from a file.

How it compares
If you've tried turning a Canva design into video elsewhere.
Canva's own design-to-video plays your pages on timed transitions. Powtoon rebuilds the Canva design inside its own editor. ngram reads the exported file, plans the narration and scenes, and renders a video that looks produced rather than auto-played.
| Feature | ngram | Canva built-in | Powtoon | Fliki |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source you start from | Your exported Canva PPTX or PDF | The Canva design in the editor | Rebuilt in the Powtoon editor | Pasted text or extracted slide copy |
| Narration from page copy | Reads page text and drafts a talk track per scene | Manual voiceover or none | Manual script per scene | AI voiceover over slide text |
| Output style | Branded motion graphics per design-scene | Timed page transitions | Template animation styles | Voiceover over slides |
| Storyboard review before render | Full scene-by-scene preview, plain-language edits | Edit on the design timeline | Edit in the Powtoon timeline | Edit scene after generation |
| Brand kit enforcement | Logo, colors, fonts, motion style on every scene | Canva brand kit on paid tiers | Template-driven styling | Template-driven |
| Channel-specific editing workflow | One reviewed MP4 per channel-specific edit | Resize per design | Per-project export | 16:9, 9:16 |
