Canva Link in Bio: Build a Custom Landing Page That Converts

If you’re on Instagram, TikTok, or any platform that hands you just one clickable link, you already know how annoying it gets. You’ve got a shop, a new video, a booking page, maybe a newsletter—but only room for one. So you’re either swapping links every other day or stuffing URLs into captions where no one bothers to tap.

A Canva link in bio page fixes that. Instead of sending people to a single destination, you build a little landing page that holds everything. And unlike the usual link-in-bio tools that make everyone’s page look the same, Canva lets you design something that actually feels like yours.

How to Build Yours

Start With a Mobile-Friendly Layout

Open Canva and search for “link in bio.” Pick a template that looks good on a phone—because that’s where most of your audience will see it. If you want full control, just start a custom design at roughly 1080 x 1920 pixels.

Design for Thumbs, Not Lectures

Keep it clean. A profile photo, a short bio, and a few clear buttons. No long paragraphs—people are scrolling, not reading. Label your links with actual context. “Watch the latest episode” will always get more taps than “YouTube.”

Add Your Links

Tap each button, hit the link icon, and paste your URL. Canva lets you link out to external pages, emails, or even other parts of your design. Just remember: one link per element, so plan your layout before you go too far.

Publish and Grab Your URL

Hit “Publish as Website” and Canva gives you a free my.canva.site link. Drop that into your bio and you’re live. If you’ve got a custom domain, you can connect it—but even the free link works fine for most creators.

What to Actually Put on There

Less is more. Stick to 3–5 links and put the most important one at the top.

Common options:

Your store or latest product

Booking or appointment page

Newest YouTube video or podcast episode

A free resource (checklist, guide, etc.)

Newsletter sign-up

Swap links out when you run promotions or launch something new. A page that never changes starts to feel abandoned.

Don’t Skip Tracking

Looks matter, but knowing what actually gets clicked matters more.

Canva won’t track your clicks for you. That’s where Biovelt comes in. It’s a free tool that lets you add unlimited links and see exactly how many people tap each one. No paid plans, no nonsense. You just pair it with your Canva design and suddenly you know what’s working—and what’s not.

If you prefer sticking with Canva alone, you can add UTM parameters to your links and track through Google Analytics. Takes a little more setup, but it gets the job done.

Bottom Line

Your bio link is one of the few spots on social media where you can actually send people where you want them to go. A Canva link in bio page lets you control how that first impression looks. And when you layer on a free tracking tool like Biovelt, you stop guessing and start knowing what your audience actually clicks.

Open Canva, throw something together, and give your bio a reason to get tapped.
