How to download Adobe fonts from Creative Cloud

Last updated on November 25, 2022 @ 2:57 pm

Adobe Fonts is a service that allows you to sync fonts from the Adobe Creative Cloud to your computer. Canva is a design platform that allows you to create designs for social media, marketing materials, and more.

So, can you upload Adobe Fonts to Canva?

The short answer is no, you cannot upload Adobe Fonts to Canva. Canva has its own built-in font library that you can access when creating your designs. However, if you have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, you can sync the fonts from Adobe Fonts to your computer and use them in Canva.

PRO TIP: Can You Upload Adobe Fonts to Canva?

Adobe Fonts is a subscription service that gives you access to a library of fonts for your computer. You can use these fonts in any program that supports fonts, including Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, and Canva.

However, you cannot upload Adobe Fonts to Canva. Canva only supports fonts that are available through their own font library. If you try to upload a font from Adobe Fonts, it will not work.

To do this, first open the Adobe Creative Cloud app on your computer and click on the “Fonts” tab. Next, click on the “Settings” icon in the top-right corner and select “Sync Fonts” from the drop-down menu. Make sure that the “Canva” checkbox is selected and then click on the “Sync” button.

Once the fonts have been synced to your computer, open Canva and create a new design. In the text editor, click on the “Aa” icon and select “More fonts…” from the drop-down menu.

Here, you should see all of the fonts that are synced from Adobe Fonts. Select the font that you want to use and start designing!

Did you know that your subscription to Creative Cloud or standalone Adobe apps comes with thousands of fonts licensed for personal and commercial use? If you're having trouble activating Adobe fonts or just don't know where to start, this tutorial will show you how to find, download, and use Adobe fonts in any app on your computer—even apps that aren't a part of Creative Cloud!

  1. 1

    Make sure the Creative Cloud app is installed on your computer, phone, or tablet. You'll need to have the Creative Cloud app to download fonts from Adobe's library, even if you've already activated Adobe Fonts on the web.

    • Download the Creative Cloud app for your computer at //creativecloud.adobe.com/en/apps/download/creative-cloud.
    • If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can install the Creative Cloud app from the App Store.

  2. 2

    Browse the Adobe Font Library at //fonts.adobe.com/fonts. You can filter the fonts by language and writing system using the drop-down menu at the upper-left corner of the page.[1]

    • You can also get to the font library from the Creative Cloud app—just click the f at the top-right corner of the Creative Cloud desktop app and choose Browse Fonts.
    • If you're using an iPhone or iPad, you can launch the Creative Cloud app and choose Fonts to browse the font list, and then tap + Install Font on any font you want to download.

  3. 3

    Select a font to view its family and styles. You can now see how the font will look in action at different sizes and weights.

  4. 4

    Toggle the switches next to styles you want to use. Or, if you want to activate all of the styles of a particular font, click the "Activate" switch at the top-right. Once activated, the fonts will automatically download to your computer, making them available in your apps for use.

    • As long as the Creative Cloud desktop app is running on your PC or Mac, the fonts you've activated will download automatically.
    • If you activate fonts on your computer, you can use them on your iPhone or iPad. Just launch the Creative Cloud mobile app, choose the Fonts option, and then tap Active fonts not on this device. Now you can tap + Install Fonts next to each font you want to download.

  1. 1

    Open the Creative Cloud desktop app. You'll find it in your Windows Start menu or on your Mac's Launchpad. As long as the Creative Cloud desktop app is running, fonts you've activated will be available for use in Creative Cloud apps as well as other apps on your computer.

    • If Creative Cloud is already running, just click the Creative Cloud icon (it looks like a sideways infinity symbol) in your Windows system tray or your Mac's menu bar.
    • If you're using an iPhone or iPad, installing the fonts is all you'll need to do to start using Adobe fonts in apps that support custom iOS fonts.[2]

  2. 2

    Click the f at the top-right corner of Creative Cloud. This opens the Fonts list, where you'll see all the fonts you've activated.

    • Make sure the "Active fonts" switch at the top-left corner is switched to the On position so your fonts are ready to use.[3]
    • If the fonts you activated online don't appear in the Creative Cloud font list, quit Creative Cloud Desktop and relaunch the app.

  3. 3

    Use the toggle switches to enable or disable fonts. Each font has its own toggle switch. If you toggle any of the switches to the Off position, that font won't be available in your Adobe apps.

    • Adobe recommends keeping your active font list short to optimize performance. To deactivate fonts you're not using, toggle their switches to the Off position.
    • If you see a cloud icon next to any of the fonts, that means it's been more than 60 days since you've used it. To reinstall the font, just click the cloud icon to download it.

  4. 4

    Open or restart the app in which you want to use Adobe fonts. If you want to use the font in a Creative Cloud app, you'll find the font in that app's font list automatically.

    • To use a font in a non-Adobe app that was already open, such as Microsoft Word, or an older Adobe app, you will need to close and restart that app after activating fonts so they'll be available for use.

  5. 5

    Select a font and start typing. Now that you've activated and downloaded Adobe fonts, you can use them in all of your projects without having to worry about purchasing a license!

  • If you're using the Creative Cloud for Education plan, some of the Adobe fonts won't be available. Contact your institution's Adobe representative if you have questions about fonts not being a part of your subscription.[4]

  • If you disconnect from the internet while the Creative Cloud app is already open, you'll still be able to use Adobe fonts in local apps. But if you launch Creative Cloud when the computer is not connected to the internet, the fonts won't be visible.
