Why You Should Sign Up for Canva Pro: The Benefits of Upgrading Your Account
Canva is a popular graphic design tool that has been used by millions of people around the world. It is known for its user-friendly interface, extensive library of templates, and powerful editing features. While the free version of Canva is great for casual users, those who need more advanced features should consider upgrading to Canva Pro.
Canva Pro is a paid subscription service that unlocks a host of additional features and benefits. With Canva Pro, users gain access to over 75 million premium stock photos, videos, and graphics, as well as advanced editing tools like Magic Resize and Background Remover. Additionally, Canva Pro allows users to create custom templates, organize their designs into folders, and collaborate with team members in real time.

Access to Millions of Templates
One of the main advantages of Canva Pro is that it gives you access to millions of templates. These templates cover a wide range of categories, including social media posts, presentations, flyers, and more. By using these templates, users can save time and effort by not having to create designs from scratch.
Canva Pro templates are customizable, which means that users can change the colors, fonts, and images to match their brand. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that want to create consistent branding across all their marketing materials.
Customizable Templates
In addition to the millions of templates available in Canva Pro, users can also create their own custom templates. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that have specific design requirements. By creating custom templates, businesses can save time and effort by not having to recreate the same designs over and over again.
Custom templates can be created from scratch or by modifying existing templates. Once a custom template has been created, it can be saved for future use. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that have a large number of employees who need to create marketing materials.

This makes it easy for team members to see everything they need to access, including previous designs, team templates, folders, and more.
Canva Pro also allows users to create multiple sub-teams, such as one for design, one for marketing, and one for sales. This makes it easy to organize and collaborate on different types of designs and projects.
Brand Kit

This feature is especially useful if you need to create multiple versions of the same design for different platforms or devices. Magic Resize can save you a lot of time and effort since you don’t have to manually adjust the design elements to fit each new size.
Background Remover
The Background Remover feature is a powerful tool that allows you to remove the background from an image in just a few seconds. This feature is especially useful if you want to create designs with transparent backgrounds or if you want to remove distracting elements from an image. With Background Remover, you can quickly and easily isolate the subject of your image and use it in your design.

If you skipped to the end without reading, please do read this portion on the use of Canva!
I know there may be some confusion as to what you can use. As per Canva:
CANVA FREE USERS:
If your design only uses images and elements which you uploaded and created yourself, then you may print it on items for resale, such as postcards and t-shirts.
If your design uses only free images and elements from our library, they are subject to the terms of our licenses (Free images are under the [Extended Use License] https://about.canva.com/license-agreements/extended/
If you have a Canva Pro subscription, you can add Canva Pro images to your design as long as you make modifications to them. (Pro images are under the [One Design Use License Agreement]
https://about.canva.com/license-agreements/onedesign/
However, if you want to use premium images in their original and unaltered version, you need to purchase them under the Extended License to use them on products for resale.
CANVA PRO USERS:
CANVA will be a huge asset, so do not miss out here!All content (photos, graphics, illustrations, stickers, fonts, videos) available for Canva Pro subscription is licensed under the One Design Use License.
This license allows you to:
- download designs without paying for images
- use your design in promotional campaigns
- print your design for personal purposes
- print your design for promotional purposes or use media in an Ebook for selling without limits
- use media in a design and publish on your website or blog
- use media in your website without any alterations (only up to 600×800 or 800×600 pixels)
- print design on products for selling
You would only be required to purchase images on a Multi-Use or Extended Use License if you want to use and download premium images in their original and unaltered version.
For more information, you may visit this article: One Design Use License Agreement
So to sum it up:
As long as you have Canva Pro, you can resell your designs regardless if you are using Pro or Free images
If you are not using the image in a design and you want to download them as it is, without modifications, you need to purchase the images.

Thank you for the mention of my post “Free Time and Memory-Keeping” this week! I hope your readers enjoy it. I love Canva myself for all my blog and social media images.

Thank you for including my Frozen Peach Yogurt in your Top 10 this week! And thank you for the huge amount of time you spend to bring us this linky party and posts throughout the week to make our blogging so much easier.
Morning Cindy. Thank you for your kind words re the Linky. I love doing it and will continue doing it as long as our partygoers enjoy it and do PARTY, and by that I mean, read other posts, interact, comment on others and share it on SM, and spread the work of our Linky with your own followers and readers. Thank you so much for doing that.
I use PicMonkey but I do see so many good things about Canva. If I had it to do over again, I would probably start with Canva. But I have been using PicMonkey for so long, that it’s easier to stay with it and it has been adequate and easy to use.
Thanks for hosting and happy summer to you and all the hosts!
Donna, thank you for your view on PicMonkey. I have never tried it so have no firsthand knowledge of the working but I have heard that many others use and love it. Glad that you are enjoying and happy with PicMonkey.
Thanks for the party!
Hi there Amy, thanks for dropping by and reading commenting and sharing as this is what a party is all about. Enjoy
