Is Canva for Commercial Use?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 4:59 pm

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many small businesses have closed their doors for good. However, some businesses are managing to stay afloat by pivoting to online sales.

If you’re in the process of setting up an online shop, you’ll need to create high-quality visuals to showcase your products. Canva is a free online design platform that’s beloved by small business owners and freelance professionals for its simple drag-and-drop interface and extensive library of templates.

Canva is a great tool for creating visuals, but you may be wondering if it can be used for commercial purposes. The short answer is yes – you can use Canva for commercial use.

In this article, we’ll elaborate on what that means and provide some tips on how to get the most out of the platform.

Canva offers a free plan and a paid subscription plan. The free plan gives you access to most of Canva’s features, including its library of templates and tools. With the paid subscription plan, which costs $12.95 per month or $119.40 per year, you’ll get access to additional features, such as more templates and tools, as well as advanced features like team collaboration and branding kits.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that Canva is not intended for commercial use. If you use Canva for commercial purposes, you do so at your own risk and agree to indemnify and hold Canva harmless from any and all damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to your use of the platform.

If you want to use Canva for commercial purposes, you’ll need to sign up for a paid subscription plan. However, even if you don’t have a paid subscription, you can still use Canva to create visuals for your business. For example, you can use Canva to create social media posts, product photos, marketing materials, and more.

There are some limitations to using Canva for commercial purposes without a paid subscription. For example, if you use a template from Canva’s library, your design will include a watermark that says “Created with Canva.” You can remove this watermark by upgrading to a paid subscription.
