Put a Canva Presentation or Poster on TV as a PDF
Show a Canva presentation, menu or event poster on TV using a PDF export. Connect through the browser and choose a readable page view.
Your Canva presentation or poster on the TV, controlled from your phone or laptop. Download a PDF copy, open the display browser and choose the file. The room sees the finished design rather than your editing workspace.
This is a useful route for a prepared pitch deck, café menu, event programme or workshop instruction. You keep designing in Canva and use V U This to put the exported document on the shared screen.
Prepare the design for the screen
Download the design or presentation as a PDF and open the result. Check its page order and the size of the smallest text. A design made for a printed page can need larger type when people will read it across a room.
For a presentation, prepare complete landscape slides. For an information display, consider a single clear page with the title, main message and relevant time or price. Save the PDF on the device you will control from.
Show the Canva PDF on TV
- Open vuthis.com in the TV's usable browser, or on its connected computer.
- Connect a phone using the screen QR code, or connect a laptop at vuthis.com/r with the display code.
- Choose Document, select the PDF and choose Show now.
- Choose Fit page for the full poster or slide.
- Use Previous and Next for a multi-page document.
Pick the right display view
Fit page keeps the complete design visible. Fit width makes a tall page larger and lets the controller move through it a screenful at a time. For an unattended menu or poster, a shorter, screen-friendly page can be easier than a long document that needs repeated manual changes.
This workflow shows a PDF export, not Canva's live editor, animations or embedded playback. Keep the original presentation workflow when those interactions are essential.
Both devices need internet access, and shared Wi-Fi pairing is not required. For an installed projector, a browser on the room computer can be the display while your own device controls it.
