The Challenge
Whether you’re a social media manager, publisher, or content creator, you know the pain of exporting the same design in multiple formats. Every platform has its own specifications—resolution, file type, dimensions, quality—and exporting manually means repeating the same steps over and over for every design, every campaign.
- Manually exporting to PNG, JPG, PDF, and MP4 takes significant time per design
- Platform-specific settings (dimensions, quality, compression) must be configured each time
- Asynchronous export jobs require manual monitoring and follow-up to retrieve files
- High-volume export needs (dozens or hundreds of designs) quickly become unmanageable
- Errors in format settings lead to rejected files or poor-quality output
The Autohive Solution
With the Canva integration on Autohive, you can automate the entire export process for any number of designs. Define your format requirements once, and the integration handles everything—triggering exports, monitoring job status, and delivering download URLs when complete.
One Design, All Formats Simultaneously
Trigger exports to PNG, JPG, PDF, and MP4 in a single automated workflow run. Each format is configured with the appropriate quality, dimensions, and page selection settings for its intended platform.
Automated Job Status Monitoring
The integration polls export job statuses asynchronously, so you never have to manually check whether a job has finished. When all formats are ready, download URLs are retrieved and delivered automatically.
Platform-Specific Export Settings
Define precise export configurations for each destination platform—Instagram square, Stories vertical, Twitter banner, print PDF, video ad MP4—so every output meets the exact specifications required.
Batch Processing at Any Scale
Whether you’re exporting 10 designs or 10,000, the automation scales without additional effort. Content teams can process entire design libraries without ever touching an export dialog.
