How to Add Apple Music to Your Canva Designs

Part 1. Can I Get Apple Music to My Canva Projects?

Apple Music, despite being a popular choice for streaming and downloading music, presents a challenge when trying to use its tracks in design tools like Canva. Apple Music files are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM). Even though you've downloaded your favorite songs, they are saved in M4P format, which Canva doesn't support. Instead, Canva requires audio files to be in more flexible formats, such as MP3 or WAV. That's why you need to convert Apple Music tracks into a compatible format.

Getting Started with ViWizard Apple Music Converter

To resolve this, users can turn to tools like ViWizard Apple Music Converter. This software removes DRM protection and converts Apple Music tracks into MP3, AAC, or WAV formats - all of which are supported by Canva. It's not just limited to Apple Music; you can also convert iTunes music, podcasts, audiobooks, and even local files.

With ViWizard, you can not only convert your tracks but also trim and edit them to perfectly fit your Canva designs. The audio quality remains unchanged, so the songs sound just as good as the originals.

While it takes a few extra steps, the flexibility it offers makes it well worth it for adding Apple Music to your Canva projects.

Step 1Select Apple Music

Open ViWizard Apple Music Converter on your computer. Launch the iTunes application. Within iTunes, navigate to the "Music" tab, where your Apple Music library is located. Browse your Apple Music library and select the music tracks you want to use in your Canva project. Drag and drop the selected music tracks from iTunes directly into the ViWizard Apple Music Converter app. This action will add the chosen tracks to the conversion queue.

Step 2Adjust Output Format

In ViWizard Apple Music Converter, locate and click on the "Format" tab. It's usually found at the bottom right corner of the application window. From the format options, select your desired output format. For compatibility with Canva, formats like MP3 are recommended. You can also customize additional settings like bit rate, sample rate, and channel as needed. These settings allow you to tailor the output to your specific requirements.

Step 3Download Apple Music

With your music tracks selected and the output format adjusted, you're ready to download the added Apple Music tracks. Click on the "Convert" button within ViWizard Apple Music Converter to start the conversion process. The software will begin converting the Apple Music tracks into the selected format (e.g., MP3). Once the conversion is complete, you can access your downloaded Apple Music tracks. To do this, open the "Converted" menu within the ViWizard app. Look for a "Search" or "Folder" icon within the "Converted" menu and click on it. This action will open a window on your computer where you can locate and access the specific tracks you've just converted and downloaded.

Canva makes it easy to create stunning designs on both desktop and mobile. If you've already converted your Apple Music tracks to Canva-compatible formats, it's simple to import them into your projects - no subscription needed. Even the free version of Canva supports adding audio, so it's accessible to everyone.

Ensure the music you use is royalty-free or properly licensed for commercial use. You can either use Canva's built-in library or legally convert your own tracks with tools like ViWizard. If you use ViWizard, make sure it's for personal use only.

Part 4. Alternatives to Apple Music for Background Music in Canva

When creating designs in Canva, you may want to explore alternatives to Apple Music for background music. While Apple Music offers a large library of songs, it might not always be the most practical choice concerning copyright and licensing issues. For example, when uploading your content to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, using copyrighted music can result in your video being flagged or removed.

The good news is that Canva's built-in music library offers a convenient solution. The library is filled with royalty-free tracks, meaning you can use them without the risk of copyright issues. It includes a variety of genres and moods, so you'll find something to suit any project. If you're a Canva Pro subscriber, you'll also get access to a Premium collection with even more tracks, but you can certainly get by with the free music available.

Let's walk through how to use these music options in your Canva projects:

1. Begin by opening your existing design or creating a new one in Canva.
2. Access the audio library:
   • On Desktop: In the left panel, click on the "Elements" > "Music" > "Audio" tab.

   

   • On Mobile: Tap the "+" button and choose "Audio" from the options.
3. Use the search bar to find specific tracks or explore categories like "Jazz", "Spiritual Music", or "Children's Music".



4. You'll mainly see premium tracks, which require a Canva Pro subscription.
5. Hover over the track or tap it to listen to a preview.
6. Once you've found a track you like, simply click (on Desktop) or tap (on Mobile) to add it to your project. If you're working with a video, you can adjust the track's position on the timeline.
7. Use Canva's editing tools to trim the track, adjust the volume, or apply fade-in or fade-out effects to blend the music smoothly with your visuals.
8. Once you're done, click "Download" on Desktop or tap "Download" on Mobile. If you're uploading to social media, make sure to choose the correct file format, like MP4 for videos.
