Import elements into your design

Last updated: April 29, 2026

You can import elements into your design instead of building everything from scratch.

This is useful when you already have a design created in another tool, or when you want to reuse layouts, assets, or templates.

Where you can import elements from

You can bring elements into your design from:

  • PSD files

  • Canva designs

  • Other designs or templates in your Customily account

Each option lets you reuse existing work and speed up your design process.

How importing works

When you import a design, Customily converts it into elements inside the Design Studio.

This means:

  • Text becomes text elements

  • Images become image elements

Once imported, you can edit each element just like any other element in your design.

Keep in mind

Imported elements are fully editable, but some adjustments may be needed.

For example:

  • Fonts may need to be uploaded and reassigned if they were not in your Customily account already

  • Effects from external tools may not translate exactly

How to import elements

All import options follow the same starting steps:

  1. Create a new design or open an existing one

  2. In the Layers panel, click Import

  3. Choose the source (PSD, Canva, or another design)

  4. Follow the prompts to select the file or design, and the elements you want to import

From there, the steps may vary depending on the source.
