Notes About Links
Canva’s link tools are great, but there a few notes needed about the feature:
There’s currently an issue where hyperlinks aren’t working for text with effects on downloaded PDFs.
This issue currently affects the following effects:
- Lift

Canva is working to fix this. As a workaround, you can do the following steps depending on the text effect you’ve applied.
Applying hyperlinks with the Lift effect
- Add text and apply the hyperlink.
- Click on Effects from the toolbar and select Lift.
- Still on the Effects options, select the Curve effect.
- Set the curve value to 0.
- Move the text box back to its correct position if it moves after applying the Curve effect.
- Download your design as PDF.
Applying hyperlinks with the Neon effect
- Add text and apply the hyperlink.
- Click on Effects from the toolbar and select Neon.
- Duplicate the text box by clicking on Duplicate from the floating toolbar that appears above or below it.
- While the duplicated text box is selected, click on Effects from the toolbar and select None to remove the effect.
- Add the hyperlink to the duplicated text.
- Set the duplicated text’s transparency to 1.
- Move the duplicated text on top of the text with the Neon effect.
