How to create your own magazine in Canva
If you've seen the TikTok trend of people making birthday magazines , Vogue magazine -style picture books, or aesthetic "love magazine" gifts, you've probably wondered: can you easily make one yourself?
Yes, you can — and it's completely free with Canva. In this guide, I'll show you how to create the perfect digital magazine using a magazine template that you can edit in minutes.
What is a magazine template ?
The Magazine template is a pre-designed, editable magazine template that you can open in Canva and change:
-
pictures
-
text
-
fonts
-
color scheme
-
layouts
Without any layout skills, you can create a magazine that looks like a real Vogue cover.
It is particularly suitable for:
-
As a Christmas present
-
As a birthday present
-
for surprises for a friend, bestie or partner
All you need is these:
-
A free Canva account
-
Magazine template (you can make your own or use ready-made templates from Finprints.shop)
Step-by-step guide: Make your own Vogue-style magazine
1. Open the magazine template in Canva
By clicking on the template you purchased, Canva will automatically open it.
You can edit any element — everything is drag & drop.
2. Add your own photos
You can add images to the template pages, which are suitable for example:
-
birthday pictures
-
couple photos
- whatever, what makes a magazine personal
3. Edit titles
One reason for the trend is the iconic magazine cover.
Popular titles:
-
VOGUE
-
Birthday Edition
-
Love Magazine
-
Travel Diary
-
Summer Issue
-
Special Edition
These make the bottom look great.
4. Add small details
Small pieces of text make it look like a real magazine:
-
date
-
page numbers
-
quotes
-
short captions
-
“Exclusive interview”
-
“Limited issue”
5. Download the finished magazine
Once the magazine is ready, you can:
-
Order it from Canva with free shipping easily
-
Print it at a local print shop
-
Make your loved one or yourself happy!
-
Many people use the magazine template as a gift magazine because it looks professional and personal at the same time.
