Data Transfer Guide
Looka doesn't offer direct export of project files, so you'll need to manually download all assets. Export logos in SVG (for scalability), PNG with transparent background (for digital use), and high-resolution JPG formats. Document your brand colors by noting HEX codes from Looka's color palette section. For typography, identify font names and styles used in your Looka designs. Download any additional brand assets like business card designs, social media templates, or stationery. In Canva, upload these files through the Brand Kit section. Recreate color palettes using the exact HEX codes. For fonts, either upload custom font files or find close alternatives in Canva's extensive font library. Organize all assets in Canva's folders for easy team access.
