# Canva
Find, customize, and add Lottie animations to Canva designs with the LottieFiles app.

The LottieFiles app for Canva lets you find, customize, and add lightweight animations to a Canva design without downloading and re-uploading each asset.

Start with a public animation from Explore, use an approved team asset from Workspace, or import your own Lottie or SVG. You can make a quick color change in Canva, then continue in Lottie Creator when the animation needs deeper editing.

## Fastest first success

Follow the [Quickstart](/en/integrations/canva/01_quickstart) to find an animation in Explore, preview it, optionally recolor it, and add it to the current design.

## Choose a starting point

| Start from    | Use it when                                      | Next step                                                                                  |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Explore**   | You need to discover a public animation          | [Explore](/en/integrations/canva/02_find-animations/explore)                               |
| **Workspace** | Your team already saved or approved the asset    | [Workspace assets](/en/integrations/canva/02_find-animations/workspace-assets)             |
| **Import**    | You have a local Lottie file, direct URL, or SVG | [Importing an animation](/en/integrations/canva/02_find-animations/importing-an-animation) |

## Customize the result

- [Recolor an animation](/en/integrations/canva/03_customize/recoloring-an-animation) with a preset or custom palette.
- [Animate an SVG](/en/integrations/canva/03_customize/animating-an-svg) with a motion preset.
- [Choose an animation from a multi-animation file](/en/integrations/canva/03_customize/working-with-multi-animation-files).
- [Open the animation in Lottie Creator](/en/integrations/canva/03_customize/editing-in-lottie-creator) for layer, timing, and motion changes.

## Add it to Canva

Compatible animations can be added directly to the design. When Canva cannot insert the Lottie directly, the app can offer a GIF fallback. See [Compatibility and GIF fallback](/en/integrations/canva/04_add-to-design/compatibility-and-gif-fallback).

## Requirements

- A Canva design where you can use apps.
- A LottieFiles account for Workspace, Import, and account-connected workflows.
- A current desktop browser for the full editing and Lottie Creator handoff experience.
