Can You Edit Canva Templates for Commercial Use?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 9:52 pm

A lot of people use Canva to design all sorts of things, from invitations to social media posts. But can you edit Canva templates for commercial use?

The simple answer is yes, you can. However, there are some things you need to be aware of before you start.

Canva’s terms and conditions state that you can only use their templates for “personal, non-commercial use”. This means that if you want to use a Canva template for your business, you need to purchase the extended license.

The extended license costs $10 per design and allows you to use the design for commercial purposes.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about editing a Canva template for commercial use, be warned that this is against Canva’s terms of service. Violating these terms can result in your account being suspended or even banned. So if you want to use a Canva template for your business, make sure to purchase the commercial license. Otherwise, you risk having your account shut down.

However, there is a workaround that a lot of people use if they don’t want to pay for the extended license.

If you find a Canva template that you like but it doesn’t have an extended license, you can try contacting the designer and asking if they’d be willing to sell you the license for that particular design. A lot of designers are happy to do this, and it’s usually not too expensive. Alternatively, you could try finding a similar template from another site that does have an extended license.

So, in conclusion, yes – you can edit Canva templates for commercial use.
