Can I Use Canva Images for Commercial Use?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 1:51 pm

As a general rule, you can’t use Canva images for commercial purposes unless you purchase the image from Canva Pro, which is their paid service. However, there are some limited circumstances where you might be able to use a Canva image for commercial purposes without having to pay for it.

For example, if you’re using the image in an editorial article about Canva or in a non-commercial review of Canva’s services, you wouldn’t need to pay for the image. Similarly, if you’re using the image in a presentation or blog post that is not intended to sell anything, you also wouldn’t need to pay for the image.

PRO TIP: All Canva users must adhere to our Terms of Use. This includes respecting the intellectual property rights of others.

You can learn more about this in our help center article on image copyright and licenses.

In short, unless you have the express permission of the copyright holder, or your use falls within one of our licensed exceptions, you cannot use Canva images for commercial purposes. This includes selling them, using them in marketing materials or on products, or using them in any other way that generates income.

However, if you’re using the image in something like a sales deck or a website banner that is directly promoting your business or product, then you would need to purchase the image from Canva Pro.

In conclusion, whether or not you can use a Canva image for commercial purposes without paying for it depends on the specific circumstances. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and purchase the image from Canva Pro.
