How to Edit a PLR eBook Using Canva: A Step-by-Step Guide
PLR (Private Label Rights) eBooks offer a great way to sell or give away professional content under your own brand. With PLR rights, you can edit the content, change the cover, and even claim yourself as the author. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through how to edit a PLR eBook using Canva, a free and easy-to-use online design tool.
Step 1: Get Your PLR eBook Ready
Before starting, make sure you have a PLR eBook in PDF format. If your eBook comes in Word format, you can convert it to a PDF using Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or an online converter.
Step 2: Import the PLR PDF into Canva
- Go to Canva and Log In
- If you don’t have an account, sign up for a free account.
- Canva Pro users get more features, but the free version works fine for basic edits.
- Upload the PDF
- Click on “Create a Design” and select “Import File”.
- Choose your PLR PDF file and upload it.
- Canva will automatically convert the PDF into editable pages.
Note: Some elements (like special fonts or embedded images) may not be editable after import. If that’s the case, you can manually recreate those sections.
Step 3: Rebrand the Cover Page
- Select the Cover Page
- Click on the first page (the cover) and start customizing.
- Change the Title & Author Name
- Double-click the text to edit the title.
- Replace the author’s name with your own (since PLR allows rebranding).
- Modify Colors and Fonts
- Click on any text or background and change the colors to match your brand.
- Select new fonts if needed (Canva provides many free options).
- Replace or Edit Images
- If the cover has stock images, click on them and delete or replace them with new ones.
- You can upload your own images or search Canva’s free image library.
- Add Your Logo (Optional)
- Upload your logo and place it on the cover for branding.
Step 4: Modify the eBook Content
- Edit the Text
- Scroll through the pages and click on any text to modify it.
- Make the content unique by adding new sections, rewriting some parts, or updating information.
- Change the Headers and Subheadings
- Adjust fonts, sizes, and colors to match your brand.
- Make the headings bold and eye-catching.
- Insert Your Website or Social Media Links
- Add a call-to-action (e.g., “Visit yourwebsite.com for more free resources!”).
- Add or Remove Pages
- Click on “Add a Page” if you want to insert new sections or personal notes.
- Delete irrelevant pages by clicking the trash icon.
Step 5: Export the eBook
- Click on “Share” (Top Right Corner)
- Select “Download”
- Choose PDF Format (Best for Digital Products)
- Set “PDF Standard” (for web use) or “PDF Print” (for high quality).
- Click “Download” and save the file to your computer.
Step 6: Sell or Share Your eBook
Now that your eBook is fully rebranded, you can:
✅ Sell it on Etsy, Gumroad, Amazon KDP, or your website
✅ Use it as a lead magnet to grow your email list
✅ Include it in membership sites or courses
Final Tips
✔ Make sure the design looks professional – Avoid too many fonts or colors.
✔ Test your download – Open the PDF to check if everything looks correct.
✔ Stay within PLR rights – Always read the licensing terms before selling.
That’s it! 🎉 You’ve successfully rebranded a PLR eBook using Canva. Now you can create unique, professional digital products without starting from scratch. 🚀
