How to Clean Up Your Canva Files (Without Stress)
If your Canva looks like a digital junk drawer, you’re not alone. Cleaning it up doesn’t have to be an all-day project. Start small and keep it simple. Step 1: Create 5 Core Folders Start with folders you’ll actually use: - Products - Social Media - Templates - Mockups - Branding You can always add more later, but these cover most needs. Step 2: Rename Designs Clearly Stop leaving files named “Untitled” or “Copy of Copy.” Try this format: ProductName | Platform | Date Example: Etsy PNG | Listing Images | Jan Future you will thank you. Step 3: Archive, Don’t Delete If you’re unsure about a design, archive it instead of deleting. This keeps your workspace clean without losing progress. Step 4: Star What You Reuse Use Canva’s star feature for templates, mockups, and layouts you use often. This saves time when you’re creating on busy days. Step 5: Weekly 10-Minute Reset Set a timer once a week to: - Rename new designs - Move files into folders - Archive what you’re done with Consistency beats big cleanups. A clean Canva equals a clearer mind and faster creation. If you want, comment “Canva” and I’ll share a folder structure you can copy and paste.
