App listing guidelines

Learn about what makes a meaningful app listing.

When a public app is released to the world it gets its own listing in Canva and the Apps Marketplace. This listing can drive attention and engagement to the app. We have created guidelines to help you craft compelling copy and visual assets, so that you can clearly communicate what your app can do for people and what problem it will solve.

You can customize the content that appears on the app listing via the app's Add Details page in the Developer Portal. This must be done before submitting your app for review. Once your app has been approved for release, you can make further changes by creating a new version of it.

The app listing is seen in various places in Canva and the Apps Marketplace.
