Find your Shopify images in Canva
In Shopify Connect for Canva, you can find your Shopify images by product, by collection, or in your Shopify files.
Products
Search for a product by its Shopify title to find every image for that product. If a product has more than one image, the product tile shows the total number of images. Select the product tile to open all images for that product.
Collections
A collection is a group of products organized in Shopify. Search for a collection to find all products and images in that collection. This helps you build product collages without having to remember which products belong to the collection.
Files
Files are everything you've uploaded to your Shopify store in the Content section of the Shopify admin. This includes the images, videos, and GIFs you use for your storefront and product imagery. Shopify also stores designs you transfer from Canva here.
