Our Product Offerings
Canva
Free

Canva
Pro
Canva Pro offers full access to Canva’s media library of over 100 million visual and audio assets, plus features like Magic Resize, Background Remover, Folders, and Brand Kits — which help you keep logos, colors, and fonts together in one place for fast creation of on-brand designs.

Canva for Education
A critical investment in the future of creativity in the classroom has become a huge global focus – it’s one we care deeply about, which is why our education product is freely available for all K-12 teachers, students, schools, districts, ministries, and school systems around the world.
Canva for Nonprofits
Canva provides nonprofits with free access to our premium subscription, Canva for Teams, as well as free community workshops and events designed to up-skill nonprofit organisations with marketing and design skills.
Our Two-Step Plan
We’ve always had a deeper mission surrounding Canva — which we talk about as our ‘simple’ Two-Step plan. This has been a core part of our mission, our culture and our overall DNA from the very beginning.
Rather than approaching this sequentially, we see our two-step-plan as a virtuous cycle. By making progress towards becoming one of the most valuable companies in the world, we’re able to elevate the resources and time we put towards doing the most good we can.
With more than 30% of Canva committed to social impact, as the value of our company grows, so too does our ability to have a positive impact on the world, allowing us to continue focusing on our core value of being a force for good.
Our Acquisitions
Flourish
Flourish became part of Canva in February 2022. Flourish’s platform is embraced by organizations of all sizes to turn complex datasets into accessible, understandable, and beautiful visualizations. In the same way that we’ve been working towards our mission of empowering the world to design, the Flourish team has been working to empower everyone to tell stories with data by making once complex and inaccessible software available to everyone.
Smart-
mockups
Smartmockups was acquired by Canva in 2021 to empower anyone to seamlessly turn their designs into product mockups.
Smartmockups was created to empower anybody to quickly and easily create realistic mockups. It now has one of the world’s largest libraries with more than 12,000 types of mockups including t-shirts, flyers, mugs, books, magazines and devices.
Kaleido
Kaleido, the creators behind remove.bg, was acquired by Canva in 2021 to reimagine how artificial intelligence can be used in design. Kaleido, which is based in Vienna, remains an independent company and works closely to integrate its technology into the Canva platform, such as the one-click background removal tool, which now extends to videos.
Pexels and Pixabay
Pexels and Pixabay were acquired by Canva in 2019 to democratise stock photography. The acquisitions brought an additional 1.1M of stock content to Canva. Both the Pexels and Pixabay libraries are discoverable and accessible in Canva.
Zeetings
Zeetings was acquired by Canva in 2018 to cure ‘death by powerpoint’. We’ve integrated the Zeetings technology into Canva as we create the world’s best presentation tool.
