Say hello to faster email design workflows with Beefree + Canva

For many enterprise teams managing multiple brands, departments, or regions,  Canva is often the go-to for fast and branded design. For non-designers who need to produce polished visuals, Canva plays a central role in helping them get things done without relying on overbooked creative teams.

It’s clear why so many of our users turn to Canva daily. But until now, bringing those visuals into Beefree meant juggling tabs, downloading and uploading files, and repeating the same steps over and over again. And while those might seem like small, operational, must-do tasks when multiplied across dozens of campaigns, that friction adds up quickly, slowing down production and interrupting your creative momentum.

How the Beefree and Canva integration works

The new Canva integration eliminates that download–upload–reupload cycle by embedding Canva’s design picker directly inside Beefree. The steps are simple: 

• Open your email or landing page in Beefree
• Insert or click on an existing image block 
• Click on choose or change image 
• From the media library, select your Canva-designed asset 
• Design the rest of your email. 

No waiting on downloads or finding the right file to upload. Need more step by step instructions: click here or watch the video below!

Solving the usual design workflow bottleneck

This integration was built for teams managing high-volume, high-velocity email production. If your workflow involves:

• Multiple collaborators across departments or regions
• Frequent design requests or last-minute changes
• Strict brand governance needs
• Repetitive asset uploads and file management

Then this integration is designed to streamline exactly where it hurts.

For enterprise customers, it’s one more way Beefree supports scale. You don’t just create emails faster, you create better, more consistent, and more collaborative email workflows. Here’s how teams of all sizes benefit from Beefree’s Canva integration: 

1. Faster design-to-delivery

This integration eliminates tedious operational steps like downloading, uploading, and reformatting, so your team can stay focused on creativity, not logistics. Canva designs are instantly imported in full resolution, ready to use in your emails and landing pages without any extra work.

2. Polished, on-brand visuals every time

Canva makes it easy to design within your brand guidelines. Now, you can carry that consistency directly into Beefree by keeping all branded visuals organized within your workspace, no matter where they live. 

“We use several third parties in our email marketing campaigns. Beefree has made this process very simple and efficient for us. It helps us control our brand image so we no longer rely on the third party using off-brand templates for our emails.”

3. No design skills or HTML required

You don’t need a graphic designer for every banner or event visual. Canva’s built-in templates paired with Beefree’s drag-and-drop builder give every team member a way to create visually rich and on-brand emails that look like they were built by a pro. Plus, Beefree automatically optimizes every visual for responsive emails and landing pages, ensuring that your content looks great on every device. 

"Beefree is the best drag and drop HTML email tool
I used to rely on coding tools for creating emails, landing pages, etc. However, after switching to Beefree, my productivity has improved, and I’ve saved a lot of time. 

With Beefree, there are no bugs or alignment issues, and it is responsive across all types of devices and email clients. There’s no need for backend developers or designers because Beefree offers ready-made email and landing page templates. Thank you, Beefree!"

‍4. Organized, centralized collaboration

Because Canva imports are saved inside your Beefree workspace, your entire team can find and reuse the right visual assets without creating duplicates or searching for that one file. 

"A powerful HTML design tool with great integration
Beefree is easy to use and great for experienced designers and novices alike. It makes it so easy to collaborate with your team and quickly push the assets to your automation tools for sending. Integrating the tool with your tech stack is very simple and does not require an expert.”

The much-needed disclaimer

While the Beefree + Canva integration makes it incredibly easy to bring custom visuals into your emails, it's important to remember one key best practice: don’t rely on images alone to communicate your entire message.

Designing full emails as a single Canva graphic or relying too heavily on image-based content can hurt accessibility, deliverability, and performance. For instance: 

• Images may not load by default in some inboxes
• Text embedded in images isn’t accessible to screen readers, making your emails harder to navigate for visually impaired subscribers
• Image-only emails aren’t responsive and may appear too small or distorted on mobile devices

And worst of all: if the image doesn’t load, your entire message disappears

Instead, use the integration the way it was intended: to enhance your email layout, not replace it. Pair your Canva visuals with live text, clear call-to-actions, and Beefree’s responsive content blocks. This approach keeps your emails accessible, mobile-friendly, and more likely to land in the inbox, not the spam folder.
