Learn how the ChatGPT–Canva integration works, how to connect it, and 7 workflows to publish more Instagram posts, carousels, and Reels assets—plus fixes when the “ChatGPT to Canva” link isn’t working.
If you publish on Instagram, you know the bottleneck: ideas are cheap, consistent, on-brand visuals aren’t. The new ChatGPT × Canva integration shifts design to where you’re already writing captions and briefs: the chat. You can now generate, edit, and preview designs without leaving ChatGPT; earlier, Canva shipped a Deep Research connector so ChatGPT can search/summarize your existing Canva docs to keep you on-brand. Together, these turn your planning chat into a design surface.
On OpenAI’s side, this rides the new Apps in ChatGPT platform and Apps SDK, which brings third-party apps (including Canva, Figma, Spotify, Zillow, and more) inside ChatGPT. Availability and feature depth depend on plan and region (see “Troubleshooting”).
Which ChatGPT has Canva? Connectors and apps are supported for Plus/Pro and business plans; rollout of Apps is expanding (see notes), with EU access staged.
Use ChatGPT with Canva to remove the friction between ideas and visuals—especially for Instagram, where cadence and consistency win. Then connect the dots with Inrō: route comments and DMs into automated conversations, segment contacts, and send targeted DM campaigns that convert. More content, fewer tabs, measurable outcomes.

OpenAI’s Apps framework embeds Canva directly in ChatGPT. You connect your Canva account, then prompt ChatGPT to generate posts, presentations, or slides that open as editable Canva designs.
In ChatGPT: Tools → Sources → Connect More → Canva → Sign in. Then prompt: “Create an Instagram carousel in Canva from this outline.”
Connectors are available on Plus/Pro and business plans; Apps rollout is expanding and may vary by region.
Yes—ask for Canva templates, Canva slides, Canva presentations, or Instagram post designs. You’ll receive editable outputs you can refine.

Generate logos, flyers, posters, reels covers, and decks, translate text across entire designs, and apply brand kits.
Canva offers Free and Pro tiers; ChatGPT Apps/Connectors require eligible ChatGPT plans. Costs depend on your subscriptions.
Re-auth, verify plan/region, and check if Apps are available in your country; EU rollout has been staged.
