Frequently Asked Questions

Stock photos, also called photography stock or stock photographs, are available and existing photos that you can use in projects for free or with a minimal licensing fee. You can access a wide range of stock images from Pexels and Pixabay directly in Canva.
At Canva, content can be either Free or Pro. You can use Free content at no cost, as the name suggests! If you’re a free user, you’ll see a watermark on Pro content, and you can pay a small cost to use a piece of Pro content in a design. This grants you a Pro Content license. You’ll need to pay to use this same piece of content in a different design.

For Pro users, there is nothing more to pay, no watermarks. You are automatically granted a Pro Content license. When you resize a design, or create a new design and want to use the same piece of Content, you get another Pro Content License issued for each new design. For more information on how you can use Free or Pro content, check out our Content License Agreement.
Unless you’re using content identified as “Editorial Use Only”, Canva’s license does not require attribution, however it’s always welcome!
