Google Slides Canva

Your Google Slides and Canva, directly imported

Bring in the sermon deck and this week's notices in a couple of clicks. Then run them with speaker notes, draw on the live slide, or use your phone as the remote.

Import

Straight from Google Slides or Canva

Sign in to Google or Canva and pick the deck. It stays connected, so next week you just pick again.

  • Google Slides keeps its animations, transitions and videos
  • Canva designs come in as one slide per page
  • Or drag in PowerPoint, PDF or images
  • Mix decks in one set: notices from Canva, the sermon from Google Slides
Import from Canva: a grid of the church's Canva designs to pick from, like Youth camp 2026, Prayer night and Hope in the storm
Google Drive's file picker listing the church's Google Slides decks by week
What comes across

How each one plays

Google Slides
  • Animations and transitions, step by step
  • YouTube videos, and Drive videos once you give access
  • Speaker notes
Canva
  • Every page of the design becomes a slide
  • Shared with your whole team once connected

Not yet: Animations, videos and notes. Pages come in as still images for now.

Questions

Does it stay in sync with Google Slides? +

Not automatically. When you change the deck, open the slide settings and press Replace to bring in the new version.

Can I pick a PowerPoint file from Google Drive? +

Not from the Google Slides picker, which only lists Google Slides files. Download the .pptx and drag it in instead.

Do I need a paid Canva account? +

No, but designs that use premium elements you haven't paid for can't be exported from Canva.

Can a guest speaker send their Google Slides or Canva? +

Yes. Send them an upload link, and they can pick from their own Google Slides or Canva, or upload a file.
