## At a glance

- Polish that matches Canva's design bar
- Native CRM — Canva submissions land in a generic inbox
- Conditional logic and multi-page
- Standalone — no Canva subscription required

## FAQ

### Is Canva Forms as polished as Instaform?

Canva's design bar is unmatched, and that shows in their forms. Instaform is intentionally close — we care about polish. Where Canva stops is everything after submission: analytics, CRM, automations, custom domains.

### Can I embed Instaform forms in my Canva page?

Yes — Canva supports iframe embeds. Put your Instaform form in a Canva landing page and get the best of both: Canva's design, Instaform's CRM underneath.
