## Good to know

Use the editable export if you want Canva to treat text as text. Image slides arrive as pictures.

The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to Canva, and nothing is sent to Canva until you import the file yourself.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does NotebookLM have a built-in Canva integration?

No. Gemini Notebook has no built-in connection to Canva. The working route is a file: export from NotebookLM in a format Canva reads (Editable PowerPoint (Pro), Image ZIP, PNG), then import or open it there.

### Can I edit a NotebookLM infographic in Canva?

You can place it, crop it and add elements on top. Its own text is part of the image and cannot be edited.

### Does my content pass through a server on its way to Canva?

No. Files are converted in your browser and saved to your downloads folder. You move them into the other app yourself.
