Frequently asked questions

It depends on the template. Most are available for Adobe InDesign (INDD/IDML), and many are also offered for Adobe Illustrator (AI/EPS) and the free, browser-based Canva editor. The available formats are listed on every product page. For Adobe formats we recommend Creative Cloud 2018 or newer; Canva versions need only a free Canva account.

Yes — any template that lists a Canva format can be edited entirely in your browser with Canva’s drag-and-drop tools, with no Adobe software or design experience required. Browse our Canva newspaper templates to see which designs include a Canva version.

For EPS-format templates you can use alternatives such as Inkscape (free), CorelDRAW or Affinity Designer. INDD and AI files require the matching Adobe app for full editing. Canva versions work in any modern web browser.

Make sure your software meets the minimum version, try the IDML version for InDesign files if one is included, update your software, and confirm the file downloaded completely. If you still have trouble, contact support on the marketplace where you downloaded it. See our software requirements for full details.

Absolutely — every template is fully editable. You can change text and fonts, adjust colours and styles, replace images with your own, tweak the layout and spacing, and add or remove elements.

Fonts are usually not included due to licensing, but template documentation lists the fonts used. Many are free Adobe Fonts included with a Creative Cloud subscription, and you can always substitute a similar font.
