School Storytelling

Your Team Downloads Photos from Vidigami. Then Uploads Them to Canva. That Step Is Gone.

Vidigami now connects directly to Canva. Your entire photo library — inside the design tool you already use.

If your school uses Canva — and most do — you know the workflow. Open Vidigami. Find the photo you need. Download it. Open Canva. Upload it. Drag it into your design. Repeat for every image, every project, every week.

It works. It’s also a waste of time.

The Vidigami integration with Canva eliminates the download-upload loop entirely. Your photos, collections, and tagged images are now accessible directly inside Canva — without leaving the design tool.


What You Can Access Inside Canva

Once connected, Canva shows your full Vidigami library in the Apps panel. No downloading. No re-uploading. Just click and drag into your design.

📁
Your Collections

Every collection you’ve curated in Vidigami — event highlights, best-of sets, seasonal roundups

🤝
Shared Collections

Collections shared by colleagues — the marketing team’s picks, the athletics department’s shots

Favorites

Photos you’ve starred in Vidigami — your go-to images ready when you need them

👤
Tags of Me

Photos where you’ve been tagged — useful for staff profiles, team pages, and bios


Who This Is For

If anyone on your team creates visual content in Canva using school photos, this integration saves them time every single week.

  • Marketing and communications — social media posts, newsletters, website banners, event promotions
  • Admissions — tour brochures, open house flyers, prospective family emails
  • Development and advancement — annual reports, donor communications, campaign visuals
  • Teachers — classroom newsletters, parent updates, end-of-year slideshows
  • Yearbook teams — page layouts sourced directly from the school’s curated library

Instead of maintaining a separate folder of downloaded images, every team member pulls from the same organized, up-to-date source — and the photos are already tagged, permission-checked, and ready to use.


How to Set It Up

The connection takes about thirty seconds.

Three Steps

1. Open a project in Canva and click Apps in the left panel.

2. Search for Vidigami and click Connect. Log in with your Vidigami credentials.

3. Browse your collections, favorites, uploads, or tagged photos. Click any image to add it to your design.

That’s it. Once connected, Vidigami stays available in your Canva sidebar for every future project. No need to reconnect.

Why This Matters More Than It Seems

The download-upload step isn’t just slow. It creates problems.

It also means fewer copies of the same photo floating around on different devices. One library, one source of truth, accessible from both platforms.

The best workflow is the one nobody notices. When a marketing coordinator can go from “I need a photo of last week’s science fair” to a finished Instagram post without leaving Canva, the tool disappears and the work gets done.


How Vidigami Makes This Easy

The Canva integration is one of several ways Vidigami connects your photo archive to the tools your team already uses.

  • Access your full library inside Canva — collections, shared collections, favorites, and tagged photos
  • No downloading or re-uploading — click and drag directly into any Canva project
  • One connection, permanent access — set it up once and it’s available for every future project

Your photos are already organized. Now they’re also where your team works.
