3 Ways to Sign Up on CanvaSub (Email, Magic Link, or Google)
Getting started with CanvaSub takes less than a minute. We offer three ways to create your account — pick whichever works best for you.
Method 1: Email and Password
The classic approach. You create an account with your email address and a password you choose.
How it works:
- Go to canvasub.com/signup
- Enter your name, email, and a password
- Check your inbox for a verification email
- Click the verification link
- You're in — start adding captions to your videos
Password requirements: At least 8 characters, with uppercase, lowercase, a number, and a special character.
Best for: People who prefer managing their own credentials and want a traditional login experience.
Method 2: Magic Link (Passwordless)
No password to remember. We send a one-time login link to your email — click it and you're signed in.
How it works:
- Go to canvasub.com/login
- Switch to the Magic Link tab
- Enter your email address
- Check your inbox for the magic link email
- Click the link — you're instantly logged in
Every time you want to sign in, you just request a new link. No password to forget, no password to reset.
Best for: People who hate remembering passwords or want the most secure option (no password means no password to steal).
Method 3: Sign in with Google (One Click)
The fastest option. If you have a Google account, you can sign up and sign in with a single click.
How it works:
- Go to canvasub.com/signup or canvasub.com/login
- Click "Continue with Google"
- Select your Google account
- Done — your account is created automatically
Your name and profile picture are imported from Google. No extra steps, no verification email, no password to set up.
Best for: Anyone who wants the fastest possible signup. One click and you're creating videos.
What Happens After You Sign Up?
No matter which method you choose, you get the same experience:
- A workspace is created for you — this is where your projects, videos, and settings live
- Free credits are added — you can start creating captioned videos immediately, no credit card required
- You land on your dashboard — upload your first video and add AI-generated captions in seconds
Which Method Should You Pick?
| Method | Speed | Requires Password | Requires Google Account | |--------|-------|-------------------|------------------------| | Email & Password | ~60 seconds | Yes | No | | Magic Link | ~30 seconds | No | No | | Google | ~5 seconds | No | Yes |
If you have a Google account, Google sign-in is the fastest — literally one click. If you don't use Google or prefer not to connect it, the magic link is the most convenient since there's nothing to remember.
All three methods are equally secure. Your data, projects, and videos are the same regardless of how you sign in.
Can I Switch Later?
Yes. If you sign up with email and password, you can still link your Google account later. If you sign up with Google, your account uses your Google email — you can request a magic link to that same email anytime.
