Canva Link Shortener
Turn long Canva share links into short links you can print as a QR. Free to start.
Free plan. No card needed.
Why Canva links need this
Canva share and template links are long and full of IDs, so they are impossible to read out or print. A short link fixes that, and because every link comes with a QR code, it is ideal for putting a Canva template on a printed handout, a slide or a stall.
