Branded Pitch Decks, One-Pagers, and Proposals at Scale with Canva, Layerre, and SendNow

The three-step workflow

1. Design once in Canva. Build the master pitch deck, one-pager, or proposal with your brand fonts, colors, and layout. Give each changing element (company name, logo, plan, price) its own layer.
2. Generate variants with Layerre. Import the Canva design, map the layers to spreadsheet columns, and generate one branded file per row.
3. Send and track with SendNow. Upload the files to SendNow, share secure links, and see who opens them.

Layerre is the step in the middle. Canva is where the design lives, and SendNow is where the file goes after it is made.

Generating branded variants at scale

Canva is great for designing a single document. It gets slow when you need the same document personalized for a long list of recipients. That is the job Layerre handles: it takes your Canva template and fills it from a spreadsheet, Google Sheet, or API call, so a new row becomes a new branded file without anyone opening the editor.

If you are choosing a tool for this step, our comparison of bulk image generation tools covers the main options and where each one fits. For the spreadsheet setup itself, see bulk image generation from a spreadsheet.

Each row becomes one finished file. Because the master stays in Canva, a brand refresh is a single edit that flows to every future batch.

Sharing and tracking with SendNow

Once the files exist, how you send them matters. Attaching a PDF to an email gives you no control after you hit send. SendNow is a secure document-sharing and virtual data room platform built for founders and teams sharing pitch decks, fundraising documents, proposals, and other sensitive business files. If you are looking for a DocSend alternative, it covers the same ground at a lower price.

Protection options include:

• Email verification before a document can be opened
• Download restrictions and link expiration
• Dynamic watermarks and screenshot protection
• NDA protection and controlled access

SendNow also provides document analytics, so you can see when a file is opened, how the recipient engaged with it, and which pages got the most attention. For larger fundraising or due-diligence work, you can organize multiple documents inside secure data rooms and branded microsites. Plans start from $9, which keeps it accessible for startups and smaller teams.

Pitch decks, one-pagers, and proposals

• Investor pitch decks: personalize the intro slide and the "why you" line per fund, then watch which pages each investor spends time on.
• Sales one-pagers: generate a one-pager per account with their logo, pricing tier, and relevant case study.
• Client proposals: fill scope, price, and dates from a spreadsheet, then send each proposal with email verification and expiration.

In each case the process is the same: design once, generate the variants, send with tracking, and follow up when a recipient opens the file.
