Adobe Express: How to convert a Canva project to an Express project

Overview

UWEC no longer supports Canva and has switched to support Adobe Express instead. Both have layering and editing tools to create graphics, videos, posters, presentations, and more. You can convert your Canva project into an Express project to continue editing existing projects where you left off, but on a supported software.

Considerations

• Adobe Express does have an app available for windows, but UWEC supports the web version. (Even when launched form Creative Cloud it is the web version of Express that opens up, not the app version.)
