So you take them from that file and upload them in Canva and the should get picked up automatically.

That’s it! You’re all set to start using your Adobe font in Canva. It’s as easy as that.

Of course, there are a few things to keep in mind. When you upload an Adobe font to Canva, the font is only available to you - That means, if you share your design with someone else: they won’t be able to see the Adobe font you used. 

They’ll just see the default font. So, if you’re sharing a design with someone else, you may want to stick to fonts that are included in the Canva library - or send them a copy of your font.
