Digital planning is an awesome alternative to paper planning because it’s fully mobile (no need to worry about pens, erasers, wrinkled pages) and seamlessly allows you to organize, track, and schedule your life.

It’s also just a ton of fun to edit and design pages with an Apple pencil.

Zinnia makes creating a digital journal easy and enjoyable.

How does a digital planner work on an iPad?

Using a digital planner on your iPad is surprisingly simple. The Zinnia journal and planning app allows you to create customized spreads that are completely tailored to your needs.

Zinnia’s extensive Studio collection is filled with stickers, paper packs, planning icons, washi, and tons of other premade digital goodies for you to add to your digital planner.

What is the best planner app for the iPad?

With Zinnia Journal you can get as artistic as you want – if you prefer to use completely premade digital calendars and templates, you can. If you want to draw, write, and create from scratch, you also can.

Zinnia’s digital toolkit includes different brush styles (eg. pen, watercolor, pencil) that can be adjusted for opacity, size, and smoothness. Zinnia also has a digital eraser, “send back” and “send forward’ layering tools, grouping/ungrouping, locking, color dropper, and more!

Importing pdfs from Etsy into your iPad through the Zinnia App

With the Zinnia app it’s crazy easy (like, crazy easy), to import full digital journal pdfs to use in your iPad.

Simply find your favorite planner pdf on Etsy/social media/your favorite artists’ site, and download it onto your iPad.

Open Zinnia and click “Import Pdf,” and choose your downloaded planner. Your planner will then open as a new journal in Zinnia and you’ll be able to edit, adjust, and use embedded links.

Watch the video above to learn more about using your iPad as a planner with the Zinnia app. Whether you download a premade pdf planner or decide to use Zinnias artwork and tools – or both – you’re in for a world of creativity and fun.

Happy Journaling!
