Folders

An introduction to folders in the Canva Developers SDK.

Users organize their designs, assets, and other items into folders.

Folders are a collection of items, such as:

  • Other folders.
  • Assets, such as uploaded images, audio, and videos.
  • Designs, such as Instagram posts, Presentations, and Documents (Canva Docs).
  • Brand Templates.

When identifying folders, we recommend using the folder's id, which can't be changed by a user. The top level of the user's content library, Projects(opens in a new tab or window), is represented in APIs as a folder with the ID root.

For REST API endpoints that interact with folders, see the Folders API reference.
