How to Add Hyperlinks in Canva Resume

If you need more context before starting, see this quick guide on adding links in a Canva resume. It covers the same basics with helpful visuals. Keep that handy if you are new to Canva.
Add Hyperlinks in Canva Resume: link text
Select the text you want to make clickable. A toolbar appears, and you can click Link.
Paste or type the URL you want to use. Click Done.
The text is now a link. If you do not like the underline, select the text and toggle Underline.
It is a good idea to distinguish links from regular text. If you hide the underline, change the color or make the link bold. That way people know it is something they can interact with.
If your name or any section needs special characters, you can also add accent marks in Canva to keep your resume text accurate. This helps names, roles, and locations display as intended. It keeps your links and labels consistent.
Add Hyperlinks in Canva Resume: link elements
You can add a link to more than just text. You can link a whole text box, a group, a shape, an icon, or a picture.
Right click the element and click Link. Paste the URL and click Done.
The image or shape becomes clickable in the exported file. This is useful for logos that point to a portfolio or for icons that open your email or website. It keeps the layout clean while still providing interactivity.

Download the resume as a PDF. Open the PDF in your viewer.
Hover your cursor over the linked text or image. The cursor changes to show it is clickable.

For accessibility, consider adding text alternatives to images used on your resume. You can learn how to add alt text to pictures in Canva so screen readers describe your visuals. This supports inclusive review processes.
