Last updated on November 14, 2022 @ 6:20 pm

Canva is a user-friendly graphic design tool that is used by businesses and individuals to create professional designs. Canva offers a library of over 1 million stock images, illustrations, and icons, many of which are free to use.

However, it’s important to understand that not all of the images on Canva are copyright-free.

When using Canva, be sure to check the license of each image you use to ensure that it’s appropriate for your project. Canva offers three different types of licenses for their images:

PRO TIP: Canva offers a library of over 1 million premium images and illustrations, many of which are free with the Canva Pro subscription. However, it’s important to note that not all images on Canva are copyright-free – some artists and photographers choose to sell their work exclusively through Canva, and others may have licensed their work through a third-party provider. If you’re unsure whether an image is copyrighted, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and purchase a license before using it.
  • Free: Images with this license are completely free to use for any purpose.
  • Attribution: Images with this license must be attributed to the original author in order to be used. This attribution can be in the form of a link, credit, or tag.
  • Paid: Images with this license must be purchased before they can be used. The price of paid images varies depending on the image.

If you’re not sure which license an image has, you can check by clicking on the image and looking for the licensing information under the “More Info” tab. It’s important to note that even if an image is listed as “free,” you may still need to attribute the author if you use it for commercial purposes.

In conclusion, while many of the images on Canva are free to use, some require a paid license or attribution to the original author. Be sure to check the licensing information for each image before using it in your project.
