If you want to start selling digital products or build passive income, editable Canva templates are where it’s at. From business forms and planners to invoices, content calendars, and welcome packets, customers LOVE templates they can tweak and make their own. And the best part? You don’t need any fancy software—you can do it all inside Canva!
🖥️ Step 1: Choose a Profitable Template Type
Think about your ideal customer. Are they a business owner? A coach? A maker? Some of the top-selling editable Canva products include:
- ✅ Client intake forms
- ✅ Business planners or content calendars
- ✅ Instagram story templates
- ✅ Ebooks or lead magnets
- ✅ Price lists, services menus, and checklists

📐 Step 2: Set Your Dimensions
Log in at www.canva.com and click “Create a Design” → Custom Size. Most printable forms and templates use 8.5 x 11 inches (US Letter). For digital templates like social media kits, try 1080 x 1920 px or 1080 x 1080 px.
🎨 Step 3: Design With Editability in Mind
This is KEY: make sure your customer can easily change text, swap colors, and move elements around. Use clean, easy-to-read fonts, well-spaced layouts, and clear section headers. Avoid flattening layers or using images where text should go.
You can add icons, lines, checkboxes, and editable tables using the “Elements” tab. And don't forget—your template should still look good even before someone edits it. 👀
🔗 Step 4: Share the Template Link
Once your design is finished, click “Share” → “Template Link” → “Share a Link to Use as Template.” This creates a unique URL that customers can use to open their own copy of the design—without editing your original.
Drop this link into your product listing or download file along with instructions. You can even include a short PDF guide on how to use the template!
