Canva Bulk Create: Personalise 30 Certificates & Revision Posters in Minutes | S3 E320 sept.8 min

What if you could personalise thirty certificates, revision posters, or exam countdown cards, each with a different student's name, target grade, or exam date, without spending ages manually copy and pasting and editing names?

In this episode, I walks you through Canva's Bulk Create feature step by step, showing you how to turn one design into a whole class set in minutes.

This episode is one you would really benefit from watching, to see the screen recording of each step. Here is the YouTube video version https://youtu.be/943c5h5OSPc

In this episode:

What Bulk Create actually does, and why it works for anything with a template + a changing detail

Step 1: Building your template with separate placeholder text boxes

Step 2: Setting up your spreadsheet (one column per placeholder, one row per student)

Step 3: Connecting Bulk Create and matching your data to your design

Step 4: Generating, previewing, and downloading your batch

Four ways to use it straight away: end-of-unit certificates, personalised revision posters, exam season materials, and parents' evening slips

Three practical tips: test with three rows first, keep a master template, and proofread your spreadsheet before you generate

Key takeaway: The time cost is building the template once and tidying the spreadsheet. After that, personalising thirty documents takes minutes, not an evening.
