Open the Spinning Wheel in Fugte
In Fugte, open Starters, search for wheel, and choose Use on the Spinning Wheel. It opens in the editor as your own copy.
An animated wheel in a Canva design can turn, but a visitor cannot click it, it does not choose a prize, and it lands the same way every time. A wheel that picks a winner for each visitor has to run as a small program, and Canva websites do not run code, so it comes in through the Embed element as a link to a hosted wheel.
Canva websites show embeds that sit in the page, never ones that float over it. A wheel that pops up when the page loads, a spin button floating in a corner, a sticky bar, or a wheel that opens when a visitor goes to leave: none of those appear on a Canva site, even where a widget offers the setting. This wheel sits in the page, and its prize popup opens inside its own box, so it works on Canva the way it works anywhere else.
The odds are the part to get right, and on this wheel they are the slice sizes. Each segment is Small, Normal, or Large. A Large slice is drawn three times as wide as a Small one, and it wins three times as often, so a thin grand-prize sliver comes up rarely and the wide free-sticker slice comes up a lot. There is no hidden setting that makes a big slice a dud: the wheel pays out the way it looks. The draw happens in the visitor's browser, which suits promotions and fun rather than a regulated prize draw.
Why Fugte
What Canva gives you, and what this wheel adds.
A Canva wheel is a picture or an animation
Templates make a wheel graphic, and animation can turn it, but on a published site nobody can spin it for a prize. Canva's spin-wheel apps are made for spinning in the editor, such as during a lesson.
The slice sizes are the odds
Each segment is Small, Normal, or Large. A Large slice is three times as wide as a Small one and wins three times as often, so the wheel shows visitors the odds it plays by.
Prizes change without a republish
Edit a prize, its color, or its size in Fugte and publish again, and the published Canva site spins the new wheel within about a minute.
Step by step
Embed the Spinning Wheel in your Canva website.
Set the prizes and their odds
On the Blocks tab, each segment has a label, a color, an optional claim link, and a size: Small, Normal, or Large, which sets both its width and how often it wins. You can have up to twelve, though six to eight stay readable on a phone. Tick Try again on a segment for a slice with no prize.
Write the wording and the prize screen
On the Settings tab, set the heading, the button, the result line, the try-again message, the prize popup's title, icon, and buttons, the default claim link, and how long the spin lasts, from three to ten seconds.
Publish and copy the link
Publish the widget and copy its link from the publish panel. Canva takes the link. It does not accept HTML embed code on any plan.
Add an Embed in Canva
In your Canva website design, open Apps in the left sidebar, search for Embed, and open it. Paste the link into Web link and choose Add to design.
Size the box for the wheel and the prize
The wheel is drawn up to 360 pixels across and shrinks to fit a narrower box, and a win opens the prize popup inside the same box. Make the box roomy enough for the wheel, its button, and the popup, publish the Canva site, and spin it on a computer and on a phone.
Change the prizes for the next campaign
Swap a prize, change a size, or tick Try again on one that ran out, then publish again in Fugte. Within about a minute the Canva site spins the new wheel. Nothing changes in Canva.
Good to know
Canva specifics worth planning around.
Canva renders only static, in-page embeds: floating buttons, sticky bars, and popups will not work on Canva sites.
There is no site-wide option: a widget you want on several pages must be embedded on each page individually.
The Embed element is available on free Canva accounts.
The link stays stable, so later edits made in the widget editor appear on the Canva page automatically, no need to reopen the design.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can I make a spinning wheel in Canva?
As a design, yes: a wheel graphic from a template, with animation if you want it to turn. On a published Canva website, though, visitors cannot spin it for a prize. For that, embed a hosted wheel with Canva's Embed element.
Why does my Canva spinning wheel not spin on my website?
Because it is part of the design, and Canva publishes the design as you made it. An animation plays the same way every time and cannot be clicked. A wheel that spins when clicked and picks a prize runs as a program, and Canva shows a program only through an embed.
Can I give each prize different odds?
Yes, through the slice size. Small, Normal, and Large set both the width of a slice and how often it wins, in the same proportion, so a Large slice wins three times as often as a Small one. There is no separate hidden probability, so the odds are the ones visitors can see.
Can the wheel pop up, or open when a visitor leaves, on a Canva site?
No. Canva websites show embeds inside the page, so a popup wheel, a floating spin button, or an exit-intent wheel will not appear there, whichever provider made it. Put the wheel in a section of the page instead.
Can one person spin more than once?
Yes. A refresh gives another spin, and nothing counts spins per visitor. Make the prize code the limit: one use per customer, an expiry date, or a fixed number of redemptions.
Does the wheel collect email addresses?
No. It stores nothing and shows the prize only to the person who spun it. To collect emails, put a signup form beside it on the same Canva page.
Can I use it for an official prize draw?
Not for a regulated sweepstakes or lottery, which needs a draw that can be audited. Each spin is drawn in the visitor's browser in proportion to the slice sizes, which is right for promotions and giveaways, and a dedicated draw service is right for the regulated kind.
Can I paste HTML or iframe code into Canva instead?
No. Canva websites do not support raw HTML, JavaScript, or iframe embeds on any plan. Hosting the widget elsewhere and embedding it by link is the supported route.
Will the Spinning Wheel stay interactive after the Canva site is published?
Yes. The Spinning Wheel loads live on the published site, on desktop and mobile, and visitors can interact with it without any account.
Does this need a paid Canva plan?
No. Canva's Embed element works on free accounts, and Fugte has a free plan, so you can test the full workflow at no cost.
