Are Canva Images Free for Commercial Use?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 3:15 pm

When it comes to design, Canva is a powerhouse. The online platform offers users access to an extensive library of templates, tools, and resources, making it easy to create professional-looking designs for both personal and commercial use.

But what about Canva’s images? Are they free for commercial use?

The short answer is yes, but there are some caveats. Let’s take a closer look.

PRO TIP: Canva images are NOT free for commercial use. If you attempt to use a Canva image for commercial purposes, you will be in violation of copyright law and may be subject to legal action.

Canva’s library of images is vast and varied, with over 1 million photos, illustrations, and graphics to choose from. And while many of these images are free to use, some do require a paid subscription.

Here’s where things can get a little confusing: even though you may need to pay for a Canva Pro subscription to use certain images, those images are still considered royalty-free. That means you can use them in commercial projects without having to worry about copyright infringement.

In other words, if you’re using Canva Pro images for business purposes, you’re good to go! Just be sure to double-check the image license before downloading or using any image in your design project – whether it’s for personal or commercial use.

So there you have it: yes, you can use Canva images for commercial purposes – as long as you have a Canva Pro subscription (or pay per image) and double-check the license before using any image in your project.
