Canva Content Planner
Checked 5 Nov 2026 · source · 5 networks · API not stated · AI yes
People who already design their posts in Canva and want to schedule them to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X or Pinterest without a separate tool.
You schedule to TikTok, YouTube, Threads or Bluesky, or want one post sent to several accounts at once: each design schedules to one account at a time, and Canva Free does not schedule at all.
Overview
Content Planner is the calendar and scheduler built into Canva. You pick a design, choose a connected account, add a caption and set a time. It works on desktop and mobile, and each user can connect up to 80 social accounts per brand.
Canva's Help Center lists direct scheduled publishing to Facebook Pages and Groups, Instagram Business accounts, LinkedIn Pages and profiles, X profiles and Pinterest boards. TikTok, YouTube, Slack, Tumblr, Instagram Creator accounts and personal Facebook timelines are share or post-now only. Threads was not confirmed.
Scheduling is a paid feature: Canva Free can't schedule, while Pro, Teams, Business, Enterprise, Education and Nonprofits can. On monthly billing Pro is $15 a month and Teams $10 per person a month. Facts other than prices come from Canva's Help Center.
What it does well
- Designing and scheduling in the same place, with no export and re-upload step.
- Magic Write can draft or improve captions, on every plan.
- Schedules from desktop and mobile, with up to 80 connected accounts per brand.
What to watch out for
- Each design schedules to one account and one post at a time, so posting the same design to several networks means repeating the step.
- TikTok and YouTube are post-now only, and Threads and Bluesky scheduling are not listed.
- Instagram scheduling needs a Business account connected to a Facebook Page; Creator accounts can only share now.
- Canva Free has no scheduling at all.

Yearly prices aren't recorded here, and Business isn't listed on Canva's pricing page. If you already pay for Canva for design, scheduling costs nothing extra. If you only need scheduling, a dedicated scheduler may cover more networks for less.
