Change a file's thumbnail image

Replace the default thumbnail for a file in your account

Step 1 - Access the File Manager

From your Library, locate the file you'd like to change and click on it.

Step 2 - Customize menu

Once inside the File Manager, click Thumbnail.

Step 3 - Upload a new thumbnail

Upload a thumbnail from your computer. You can also upload your Canva designs. 

Use an image with a 16:9 aspect ratio for the best results with custom thumbnails.

For best practices, avoid uploading a thumbnail with special characters (such as %, $, #, @, etc.). We recommend removing these characters from the file before uploading it.
