Why does my PDF look different in Canva?

Canva converts the PDF into editable elements, and missing fonts are replaced.

Importing and downloading PDFs works on the free plan.

Does Canva keep the PDF private?

Canva stores uploads in your account; the merger above does not upload anything.

Can You Merge PDFs in Canva? Pros and Cons

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Partly. Canva imports each PDF as an editable design, so you can add the pages of several PDFs to one design and download it as a PDF. The import rebuilds the pages, so fonts, spacing and images can shift, and large files take a while. If you only need the pages joined unchanged, merge them in the box above instead.

Step by step

Simple join: drop the PDFs into the box above and press Merge PDF.
