Profiles, badges, and likes

Church Canvas now has creator profiles, badges, and likes. Every signed-in user gets a profile page for their designs, earns badges for creative milestones, and can like any image in the community.

The community feed has always been one of our favorite parts of Church Canvas. Thousands of sermon graphics, event promos, and social posts made by real church teams, all in one place. Today it gets a lot more personal.

• Profiles

  Every creator now has a profile page with their designs, bio, and badge shelf.

• Badges

  32 enamel-style badge seals to earn for creative milestones.

• Likes

  Show support for designs you love and quietly save them to revisit later.

Your new profile.

Every signed-in Church Canvas user now has a profile page. It shows your avatar, your church, a short bio, your badge shelf, and grids of your work:

• Featured. Your designs that appear in the community feed.
• All images. Everything you have generated. Visitors can browse these too, unless your profile is set to private.
• Likes. Designs you have liked. This one is just for you (more on that below).

How to find profiles right now:

• Someone else’s profile: open any image in the community feed and click the creator’s name in the modal.
• Your own profile: open the user menu in the left rail and click Profile.

Private profiles for Plus users.

Some churches want to share everything. Others prefer to keep their work in-house. Both are fine with us.

By default, the images you generate are public and visible on your profile. Users on the Plus plan can set their profile to private in Settings. When your profile is private, visitors only see the designs you have featured in the community.

Badges: your creative milestones.

Your profile now comes with a badge shelf. Badges are enamel-style seals you earn by doing things in Church Canvas. There are 32 badges to collect at launch, across categories like:

• Creator milestones. From your first graphic all the way to 1,000.
• Seasons and events. Christmas, Easter, VBS, and Thanksgiving designs.
• Consistency. Weekly creative streaks, from 2 weeks in a row up to a full year.
• Craft. Trying tools like Slides, Verse Maker, Logo Maker, and Reframe.
• Styles. Exploring and mastering the style library.
• Community. Sharing work, getting featured, and completing your profile.

Your most recent badges sit on your profile shelf, and you can open your full collection to see everything you have earned and what is still locked.

We will keep adding new badges over time. And between us, badges may or may not unlock something more down the road. Worth collecting them now, just in case.

Likes: support designs and save your favorites.

You can now like any image in Church Canvas. Tap the heart on a design in the community feed, on a profile, or inside the image modal.

A few things to know about how likes work:

• Like counts are public. Every image shows how many likes it has.
• Who liked it is not. Nobody can see who liked an image, including the creator.
• Your likes are private to you. The Likes tab on your profile is visible only to you.

That last part makes likes useful beyond encouragement. See a color palette you want to try? A layout that would work for your fall series? A variation you want to reference later? Like it, and it is waiting on your Likes tab when you need it.

Try it today.

Profiles, badges, and likes are live now for all signed-in users.

Open the community feed, find a design that inspires you, and give it a like. Then check the left rail user menu, open your profile, and see which badges you have already earned.
