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.

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.
