Create a public app

Learn how to create a public app via the Developer Portal.

Log in to the Developer Portal⁠(opens in a new tab or window).
Navigate to the Your integrations page.
Click Create an app.
Select Everyone.
Navigate through the remainder of the app creation wizard.

You can't convert a public app into a team app (or vice-versa). For more information, refer to Change an app's distribution.

Canva has a separate Developer Portal for China. If you want to release your app in China, you must create and maintain a separate app via canva.cn/developers⁠(opens in a new tab or window).
