Canva Terms of Use

This document governs user access to and use of Canva's visual communication platform, effective 15 April 2026, and establishes a legally binding agreement between users and the applicable Canva contracting entity (Canva Pty Ltd for Australia/New Zealand, Canva Austria GmbH for the EEA/Switzerland/UK, or Canva US Inc. for all other territories). The agreement grants Canva a broad, royalty-free, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and distribute user-generated content for operating and promoting the Service, and authorizes Canva to suspend or terminate accounts with or without notice for Terms violations, at its sole discretion. The content license clause is notably broad in scope, permitting sublicensing and distribution of user content for promotional purposes beyond core service operation, though the agreement states this license is limited to what is necessary to operate and improve the Service; applicable law, particularly in the EU under GDPR and the DSA, may impose additional constraints on how these rights are exercised in practice. The terms engage GDPR (for EEA, Swiss, and UK users processed by Canva Austria GmbH), the Australian Privacy Act (for Australian users), CCPA (for California residents), COPPA (for users under 13, who are expressly prohibited from using the Service), and the EU Digital Services Act; the agreement's mandatory arbitration and class action waiver clauses apply to US users and interact with FTC consumer protection frameworks and applicable state consumer protection statutes.
