Markzware, a leader in creative file conversion, has launched its new DesignMarkz application on the Canva platform. This innovative app directly converts professional design files from Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Publisher, and QuarkXPress into fully editable Canva documents. This breakthrough addresses a significant challenge for designers and marketing teams by providing a simple way to repurpose existing brand assets and legacy projects within modern, cloud-based collaborative workflows.
Markzware's DesignMarkz app is now available on the Canva platform.
It converts InDesign, Publisher, and QuarkXPress files into editable Canva documents.
The technology natively interprets files, preserving text, layout, and graphics as editable elements.
It enables the repurposing of legacy design assets without needing the original software.
The app targets creative teams, marketers, and agencies with mixed-format archives.
It is powered by MarkzAPI and available in the Canva Apps Marketplace with flexible pricing.
A major hurdle for creative teams has been the inability to easily transition projects from professional desktop publishing software to versatile cloud platforms like Canva. DesignMarkz solves this by natively reading the source files and reconstructing them with structured, editable elements—including text, styling, and graphics—rather than simply creating a flat, uneditable image. This process provides a clean foundation in Canva that closely mirrors the original document's layout and design integrity.
The core value of DesignMarkz is its delivery of true content mobility. By unlocking billions of existing design files, it allows teams to breathe new life into old brochures, brand guides, event materials, and training manuals. This seamlessly integrates these assets into Canva’s environment for easy collaboration, publishing, and AI-assisted editing. Patrick Marchese, Founder and CEO of Markzware, stated, “As the industry shifts toward flexible, cloud-based tools, creators increasingly desire freedom over where their content lives and how easily it moves. DesignMarkz delivers true content mobility by bringing billions of existing design files into Canva for publishing, collaboration, and AI-assisted workflows.”
The application is built to serve a wide range of users, from individual creators to large enterprise teams. Its availability in the Canva Apps Marketplace with pay-per-use and subscription models makes it accessible, while enterprise options allow for integration with large content libraries via MarkzAPI. Anwar Haneef, GM and Head of Ecosystem at Canva, confirmed the strategic value, saying, “With DesignMarkz, creators can start the design process from any file. By making professional assets editable and accessible, we are simplifying how teams repurpose and scale their ideas.”
DesignMarkz represents a significant step forward in creative workflow interoperability, effectively breaking down the barriers between different design ecosystems and empowering teams to maximize the value of their existing digital assets.
