How to Cancel Canva
Need to cancel your Canva subscription? This guide will walk you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Whether you subscribed through Canva's website, we'll show you exactly how to cancel.
Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to Canva features until the end of your current billing period. Your designs and uploaded files will remain accessible, but you'll be limited to free tier features after your subscription expires.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Canva Account
Go to www.canva.com and sign in with your Canva account credentials.
Step 2: Access Account Settings
Click on your profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account settings" from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can directly visit www.canva.com/account.
Step 3: Go to Billing & Subscription
In the Account settings page, click on "Billing & subscription" or "Subscription" in the left sidebar.
Step 4: Find Canva Subscription
Locate your "Canva" subscription. You'll see your current plan details and next billing date.
Step 5: Cancel Subscription
Click "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel Pro". Canva will show you information about when your Pro access will end and what features you'll lose.
Step 6: Confirm Cancellation
Review the cancellation details carefully. Canva may offer incentives to stay. If you want to proceed, click "Confirm cancellation" or "Cancel subscription" to finalize. You'll receive a confirmation message.
Troubleshooting
I can't find the Cancel button
- Make sure you're signed in to the correct Canva account
- Try accessing the account page directly: www.canva.com/account
- Look for "Billing & subscription" or "Subscription" in the account settings
- Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again
I subscribed through a third party
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you'll need to cancel through that platform's subscription management system:
- Apple: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Canva
- Google Play: Google Play Store > Menu > Subscriptions > Canva
I want to pause instead of cancel
Canva doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your designs.
I'm being charged after cancellation
- Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
- Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
- Make sure you clicked "Cancel subscription" and confirmed
- Contact Canva Support if charges continue after the cancellation date
What happens to my designs?
Your designs and uploaded files will remain accessible after cancellation. However, you'll lose access to Pro features like premium templates, stock photos, brand kit, and Magic Resize. Downloaded Pro assets will remain usable.
What happens to my team/workspace?
If you have a Canva for Teams subscription, canceling will affect all team members. Make sure to coordinate with your team before canceling.
