What Canva + PingBell does together
Design in Canva, show it on every screen you own. PingBell’s board editor connects to your Canva account: browse your designs with thumbnails and search, click one, and it becomes the board’s background — with your live counters, clocks, and messages layered on top. Edited the design in Canva? One Refresh in PingBell pulls the new version. No downloads, no re-uploads, no design tools to relearn.
Use cases
- Cafés and restaurants whose menus and specials are already Canva designs
- Retail promos — the sale poster from Canva becomes the sale screen on the wall
- Brand-consistent dashboards with the live revenue counter on your own artwork
- Agencies designing client boards in Canva and shipping them to client screens
- Seasonal switchovers — update the design in Canva, hit Refresh, every screen follows
Setup
- Open any board in the PingBell editor and choose “Background from Canva”.
- Connect your Canva account — Canva’s standard sign-in-and-approve, one round trip.
- Pick a design from your library; it imports as the board background.
- Layer your counters and blocks on top, exactly like any board.
- Pair a screen — a TV running the PingBell app, or any browser tab.
Done. Total setup: about two minutes.

Step-by-step for each platform: Canva on Roku, Canva on Fire TV, Canva on Android TV, Canva on Apple TV — or the overview, Canva digital signage on any TV.
Why PingBell for Canva users
Canva makes the design; PingBell makes it live. Native TV apps for Roku, Fire TV, Android TV and Apple TV, real-time counters from your store or register layered over your own artwork, and screens you pair when you want them running without you. Your brand, your numbers, one wall.
FAQ
Does PingBell change anything in my Canva account?
No. The connection is read-only — PingBell lists your designs and imports the one you pick. It never edits, moves, or deletes anything in Canva.
What happens when I update the design in Canva?
Click Refresh next to the background in the board editor and the latest version is imported.
Does it work on a free Canva plan?
Yes.
What sizes work best?
Any size works — designs are fitted to the screen automatically. 1920×1080 (Canva’s “Presentation” size) maps exactly to a TV.
Can I disconnect later?
Yes, one click in the same panel — the connection is removed on both sides immediately. Imported backgrounds stay on your boards.
