Terms of Use

These Terms of Use are effective as of 19 August 2026. See previous versions of the Terms of Use and other policies in our [Policy Archives⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/policy-archives/).

Welcome to Canva! These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to your (“you” or “your”) use of Canva’s visual communication platform (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree that these terms will become a legally binding agreement between you and the Canva Contracting Entity identified in these Terms (“Canva”).

At Canva, we like to Make Complex Things Simple! You’ll find simple explanations of our Terms in these boxes, but keep in mind only the Terms outside these boxes are legally binding.

1. Overview

a. Using Canva. Canva is a visual communications platform that empowers people to design and collaborate on virtually anything, including logos, posters and presentations, videos, documents, whiteboards, websites and other materials (each a “Design”). When you use the Service, you’ll have access to a variety of content provided by Canva and other content providers to use in your designs (“Licensed Content”). Your use of the Licensed Content is subject to the [Content License Agreement⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/content-license-agreement/). You also have the option to upload your own content (“User Content”), such as videos, images, and files, which you have full control and responsibility over. You can use Licensed Content, your User Content, and tools available in Canva to create your Designs.

The Service is made available on Canva websites (such as Canva.com and affinity.studio), Canva mobile apps, Canva desktop applications, and in other forms provided or made available by Canva. Your use of the Service is subject to these Terms and Canva’s [Acceptable Use Policy⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/acceptable-use-policy/). Canva’s [Privacy Policy⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/privacy-policy/) explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use the Service.

If you're using Canva Education, the [Canva Education Additional Terms⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/edu-additional-terms/) also apply.

You may use the Service only if you're legally able to form a binding contract with Canva. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the full right, power and authority to agree to and be bound by these Terms and to fully perform all of your obligations.

b. Signing up with a managed email address. If you sign up for the Service using an email address associated with your employer or another organization (“Admin Entity”), (i) you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Admin Entity to these Terms; (ii) your use of the Service will bind your employer or the organization to these Terms; and (iii) “you” and “your” in these Terms will refer to both you and the Admin Entity. The Canva account you create using an email address associated with an Admin Entity will be an “Administered Account”.

If you’ve signed up for the Service using an Administered Account, at the Admin Entity’s request, Canva may:

share your email address, name and account information with your Admin Entity; and

give control of the Administered Account to the Admin Entity.

If your Administered Account is controlled by an Admin Entity, the Admin Entity’s admin may be able to access, transfer and control your Administered Account and all content and designs associated with it, as well as:

make changes to the Administered Account settings, such as billing settings and privacy preferences;

make changes to the folder permissions; and

delete the Administered Account.

Where an Admin Entity has requested control of an existing Administered Account, Canva will make reasonable efforts to provide you with advance notice so that you can transfer your content and designs to a personal Canva account (subject to you providing us with a valid email address) before your Admin Entity receives control over the Administered Account.

Companies or organizations may choose to bring everyone that uses Canva with an email address they manage onto one centrally-managed Canva account.

C. Using Canva with a team. Some of our plans are able to be used by teams, businesses and organizations of all sizes who want to work and design together. If you create a team on behalf of an organization or employer, you're binding them to these Terms and all the obligations set out in them. If they haven’t authorized you to do this, you’ll need someone who is authorized to create the team.

2. Using the Service

a. Age Requirement. Children may not access or use the Service, other than through Canva Education. For purposes of these Terms, a child is a person under the age of 13 (or the minimum legal age required to provide consent for processing of personal data in the country where the child is located). For children using Canva Education please refer to the [Canva Education Additional Terms⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/edu-additional-terms/).

When you use your Canva account to access other services, such as Third Party Services, different age or service restrictions may apply to those services, as set by those service providers.

b. Access to the Service. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you're granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to access and use the Service for business or personal use. Canva reserves all rights not expressly granted under these Terms. Each person must have a unique account and you're responsible for any activity conducted on your account. You may not allow any other party to access or use the Service with your unique username, password, or other security code.

c. Acceptable Use Policy. Your use of the Service, your User Content, and your Designs, must comply with Canva’s [Acceptable Use Policy⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/acceptable-use-policy/). If you fail to comply with any provision of Canva's [Acceptable Use Policy⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/acceptable-use-policy/), or any other terms or guidelines Canva makes available to you for use of the Service, Canva may delete or otherwise restrict the violating User Content and/or Designs or suspend or terminate your account with immediate effect. For more details on our content moderation processes and complaints procedures, see our [Trust Centre⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/trust/safety/).

d. Anti-discrimination. Canva doesn't support and won't tolerate its Service being used to discriminate against others, especially when based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, ancestry or national origin. You're not permitted to use the Service in a manner which would or would likely incite, promote or support such discrimination and you must not use the Service to incite or promote hostility or violence.

We believe in Being a Force for Good in the world and that means we don’t tolerate Canva being used in inappropriate ways.

e. Restrictions on Use of the Service. You will not yourself or through any third party (i) rent, lease, sell, distribute, offer in a service bureau, sublicense, or otherwise make available the Service or the Licensed Content to any third party (except as permitted under these Terms); (ii) copy, replicate, decompile, reverse-engineer, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the Service, or any part thereof; (iii) access the Service for purposes of performance benchmarking; (iv) access the Service for purposes of building or marketing a competitive product; (v) use the Service to create, store or transmit a virus or malicious code; (vi) use a virtual private network (VPN) to circumvent geographic-based pricing or content access; (vii) use the Service to transmit unsolicited emails or engage in spamming or phishing; (viii) use any form of data mining, extraction, or scraping on the Service and/or the contents available in it for any purpose (including but not limited to AI, machine learning, and data science purposes); or (ix) bypass the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service, including without limitation features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content or enforce limitations on use of the Service or the Licensed Content.

We work hard to make Canva available to everyone, so we can’t allow you to bring harm to Canva or the platform.

3. Security and Data Privacy

a. Information Security. Canva implements and maintains physical, technical and administrative security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. You can learn more about how Canva protects the Service and your information at [Canva’s Trust Center⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/trust/).

b. Data Privacy. Canva’s Privacy Policy applies to the personal data that Canva collects, uses, transfers, discloses and stores about your accounts, use of the Service, User Content and Designs (except for personal data that Canva processes on your behalf as a data processor as described below).

If you are part of a subscription that enables you to create a Team, or you’re a Canva Pro user collecting personal data subject to Applicable Privacy Laws (as defined in the Data Processing Addendum) through a Canva Site or other Design type where the primary functionality of the Design type is to collect information from end users, then Canva collects, uses, transfers, discloses and stores certain personal data on your behalf as a data processor in connection with your use of the Service. In those cases, our [Data Processing Addendum⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/data-processing-addendum/) applies and is incorporated into these Terms. Our Data Processing Addendum sets out the personal data Canva collects and processing operations Canva performs on your behalf as a data processor. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Data Processing Addendum, the Data Processing Addendum will prevail. Any categories of personal data or processing operations that are not set out in our Data Processing Addendum will be processed and protected by Canva as a data controller subject to and in accordance with Canva’s [Privacy Policy⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://canva.com/policies/privacy-policy).

If you

have a subscription that enables you to have multiple seats; or

if you're a Canva Pro user, to the extent that you're collecting personal data about others through certain Design types,

we act as a "Data Processor" as per the terms of our Data Processing Addendum.

You grant Canva a royalty-free and sublicensable license to display, host, copy, store and use your User Content to provide the Service to you, including to keep the Service safe and secure, and to enforce our [Acceptable Use Policy⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/acceptable-use-policy/) and these terms. These protections apply at all times to protect our community and are an essential part of providing the Service. To the extent you include User Content in a Design that you’ve shared with others, you grant Canva a perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable, license to display, host, copy, store and use your User Content to the extent necessary to continue to make that Design available.

When you upload content to the Services, you’re guaranteeing that you have the rights to it. We never obtain any ownership over your content, but we do need you to give us certain rights to store it and have it ready for you to use in your designs.

Your [Privacy Settings⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/settings/privacy-preferences) allow you to control whether your general usage data and/or User Content can improve AI-powered features. Canva and its trusted partners may use this to develop and improve AI-powered features if this is consistent with your [Privacy Settings⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/settings/privacy-preferences), which you can review and update at any time. We will not use User Content of Canva Education for AI training. Your privacy and choice are important to us and you’re always in control of your settings.

Canva maintains no responsibility in relation to such sharing of Designs and Canva’s enablement of such activity or the Service’s performance of actions to publicly share Designs at your instruction will not be considered a violation of any of Canva’s obligations under these Terms.

There are a number of ways to share your designs with the world. You’re responsible for who you share them with and how you do it.

e. Printing your Designs. You can use the Service to print your Designs (only available in certain locations). Print orders may be subject to additional fees and taxes as specified when you place a print order. Print products may be sold by Canva or in some countries, a third-party seller identified at checkout ("Marketplace Seller"). By purchasing a print product from a Marketplace Seller, you’re entering into a separate sale contract with that Marketplace Seller, governed by the Print Marketplace Seller Terms (the "Marketplace Seller Terms"), in addition to these Terms. Print products sold by Canva are provided by third-party print partners who are responsible for completing and delivering print orders. You can choose to have print orders sold by Canva delivered to you or to pick it up at one of our partners’ locations (subject to availability in your area). Print orders may be affected by circumstances outside of Canva’s control. Delivery times are only estimates which Canva cannot guarantee. Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide refunds for errors made by you or if you just change your mind about a print order. Your order may be accepted or rejected by Canva or a print partner for any reason, for example, including if the product is unavailable or there is an error. If your order is rejected after payment has been made, the amount paid will be refunded. If you have an issue with a print order, reach out to [Canva Support⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/help/get-in-touch/contact-support/). If you submit a review for a Canva Print product, our [Canva Print Review Policy⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://canva.com/policies/print-review-policy) applies.

You can bring your designs to life on everything from greeting cards and t-shirts to coffee mugs and journals. Printing is done through our print partners or by a third-party seller and can be delivered to you, or picked up at a partner/ seller’s location (where available). You can learn more here: [Canva Print⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/print/).

5. Using Canva to Publish a Website

You can use the Service to design and publish a website (“Canva Site”). Users of Canva’s free offering may publish up to five (5) Canva Sites using a free my.canva.site URL. If you're on a paid subscription, you can publish unlimited Canva Sites using a free my.canva.site URL. You can purchase an unlimited number of domains, and if you're on a paid subscription connect up to five (5) of your own existing domains.

a. Free URLs provided by Canva. If you use a free my.canva.site URL provided by Canva, your website will include a tool to report Canva Sites that do not comply with these Terms and a badge that states “Designed with Canva” (or similar wording) that links to canva.com. Canva may, at its reasonable discretion, reject or remove any domain names that it deems inappropriate (for example, if the domain name does not comply with Canva’s [Acceptable Use Policy⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/policies/acceptable-use-policy/).

You can use a url provided by Canva to publish your website. We want others to know they can design websites on Canva, so we let them know that you designed your website on Canva. Since our name will be in the url and on the website, we put a few extra measures in place to make sure websites are appropriate.

b. Purchasing a Domain Name Through Canva. When you purchase, renew or transfer a domain name through Canva, Canva Pty Ltd acts as a reseller for domain name registration services through our third-party registrar, Tucows, Inc. (“Tucows”). If you purchase a domain name through Canva, you agree to and are subject to the [Tucows Master Registration Agreement⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://opensrs.com/wp-content/uploads/Tucows_ExhibitA.html) (the “Tucows Terms”). A breach of the Tucows Terms is a breach of these Terms.

Your use of our domain services is subject to the policies of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ([https://icann.org⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://icann.org/)) (“ICANN”). You agree to comply with ICANN’s requirements, standards, policies, procedures and practices. Your rights and responsibilities as a domain name registrant under ICANN’s 2009 Registrar Accreditation Agreement are summarized [here⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/responsibilities-2014-03-14-en). You can learn more about domain name registration in general [here⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/educational-2012-02-25-en).

You must provide Canva with such cooperation and support as Canva may reasonably request to provide the Service as it relates to your Canva Site, including by (i) responding promptly to Canva’s communications; (ii) providing accurate and prompt responses to our requests for any information or documentation reasonably required, including to meet ICANN’s verification requirements; (iii) agreeing to your information being shared with ICANN and Tucows; and (iv) obtaining any and all necessary intellectual property rights clearances and/or other consents and authorisations in respect of your proposed domain name.

Registration of a domain name does not create a proprietary right and will not be construed as evidence of ownership. The registration can be subsequently challenged by third parties or canceled if any of the above warranties are found to be untrue, incomplete, incorrect or misleading.

You're responsible for renewing your domain name. Canva will not be liable for a domain name being unavailable or canceled for any reason.

You must not present a misleading endorsement or affiliation with Canva on a Canva Site, including (but not limited to), by attempting to register a domain name or subdomain name that includes the word ‘CANVA’ or any other Canva brand or trademark of Canva or its affiliates. Canva may include or require certain terms to be included on a Canva Site at any time for any reason.

You can purchase a domain from us via a third party or bring your own domain name. There are rules that apply to everyone’s use of domain services and certain responsibilities you have in relation to your domain.

8. Teams Administration

You can create or join a “Team” on Canva that allows you to collaborate with others. The creator of the Team is the “Team Owner.” Each Team may have one or more people identified as administrators (each, an “Administrator”) by the Team Owner or another Administrator. Both the Team Owners and Administrators can (i) add, modify or remove people or seats from the Team as well as manage permissions and access to User Content and Designs. Only the Team Owner may assign a new Team Owner. If you add a person to a seat in a Team, you represent and warrant that you or your organization have obtained all necessary consents from that person to be added. If you enable account management services which allow you to manage the Teams and Users using Canva at your organization, you represent and warrant that you're authorized to do so on behalf of your Team and/or organization.

If you're on a Team, the Team Owner or Administrator may control access to, delete, or re-assign ownership to the User Content you upload and Designs you create on the account you access as part of the Team. Canva is not responsible for any actions taken by Team Owners or Administrators. It is your responsibility to not upload User Content or create Designs on an account associated with a Team if you do not want to potentially transfer ownership or disclose such User Content or Designs to others on the Team.

If you’re on a Team, make sure you’re aware of the privacy settings and only upload content and create designs you’re comfortable with others on the Team having access to and control over. Administrators can transfer designs between people on the Team. Keep your personal content and designs to yourself by creating a personal account.

9. Billing

Canva offers free and paid Services. You can learn more about Canva’s various subscription offerings [here⁠(opens in a new tab or window)](https://www.canva.com/pricing/). Canva may also offer additional paid features or functionality that can be purchased on top of your paid plan ("Add-Ons") and form part of your subscription as either a one-time payment or a recurring charge. Pricing may vary by location and will be based on the billing information you provide us at the time of purchase. If you're on a Team, the Team Owner will be billed for and is responsible for payment of subscription fees.

a. Subscriptions and Renewals. If you're subscribing to a paid plan your subscription (excluding any one-time payments) will automatically renew each billing cycle, for example, on a monthly or annual basis as applicable. We'll notify you before auto-renewal of your subscription. You can cancel your subscription at any time, subject to section (d) below.

b. Pricing for Additional Seats on your Team. If you're on a plan that enables you to create a Team, you're billed according to Canva’s “Pay as You Grow” model. When you add seats to a Team, you will be billed for them on your next Billing Date (as defined below) unless they are removed from your Team by the Team Owner or an Administrator prior to the Billing Date. Three (3) days prior to the Billing Date, Canva will notify via email the billing contact associated with your Canva Team account of the number of additional seats and the associated subscription fees. The applicable “Billing Date” is as follows: (i) if you're on a monthly subscription, the date of your next monthly renewal; (ii) if you're on an annual subscription, every 3 months after the start date of your subscription. You will not receive a refund or credit for removing seats from your Team that have already been paid for.

The Pay as You Grow model allows you to scale your Team as needed and reconcile costs for anyone who has joined your Team but will no longer need access to the Service before you are billed for them.

c. Taxes. Your subscription fees are inclusive of all taxes unless otherwise specified in an agreement with Canva, within the Service or on an applicable invoice. Tax rates are calculated based on the billing information you provide and the applicable tax rate at the time of your subscription charge. You represent and warrant that information you provide to Canva about your billing address will be current and accurate.

d. Cancellation. You can stop using the Service and/or cancel your subscription and/or Add-Ons at any time via your account settings. If you cancel your subscription and/or Add-Ons, your subscription and/or Add-Ons will be cancelled at the end of your then-current billing cycle and you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees already paid (except where required by law) and any outstanding fees will become immediately due and payable.

e. Free Trials and Pilots. Canva may offer you a free trial or pilot to allow you to try our Service. Canva reserves the right to set eligibility requirements and the duration for free trials and pilots.

At the end of your free trial, Canva will charge the relevant subscription fee for the next billing cycle to your nominated payment method, unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial.

In the event of termination of your subscription for cause due to default by Canva, Canva will refund, on a prorated basis, any prepaid fees for the Service for the period beginning on the effective date of termination through the end of your then-current subscription. In the event of a termination of your subscription due to a Violation by you, you will not receive any refund and will immediately pay any outstanding fees for the remaining period of your subscription.

Upon termination, you must cease using the Service. You will lose access to your Designs, User Content, and any other information uploaded to the Service (and we may delete all such data unless legally prohibited) after termination. User Content included in any shared Design will continue to available within that Design even after the expiration of Your Subscription. Unless your account was terminated due to a Violation, you can download or export your User Content and Designs using the functionality of the Service prior to the expiration or termination of your subscription. If your account has been terminated due to a Violation, you may not create a new account on any Canva Service unless you receive Canva’s written permission.

d. Dispute Resolution.

In the event that we’re unable to resolve a dispute directly, you and Canva each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any Canva claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with these Terms and/or the Service (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect for the AAA, except as provided in these terms. The arbitration will be conducted through videoconferencing or at an agreed location reasonably convenient to both parties. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator may include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party’s data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights. All Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator or a court may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and Canva are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
