    Okay, let me SUPER simplify for some people.. I have watched SO many videos and have read SO many blogs. This is what it comes down to: You cannot sell ANY content on Canva if you don’t add “value,” which means you HAVE to change SOMETHING about the photo, graphic, template, etc. that you want to use. You CANNOT slap a photo or graphic onto your canvas and sell it. You have to alter them in some way, shape, or form. This goes for free content AND Pro users. Hope this helped.

      Hey Taylor,
      thanks for trying to make this complex topic simple for our audience here. I think it pretty much sums up the logic behind Canva's licensing agreements.
      Of course there are some subtleties users need to be aware of, but that's a great rule of thumbs.

    Instead of some users being overwhelmed with all this legal language that is so confusing, why not provide software that is totally free to use for the user, especially those that pay for the pro version and not having to worry all the time about legal troubles. I "assumed" I was covered for all legalities under the paid pro version. According to this video, I'm not covered. This makes your paid version undesirable for me. This is just "splitting" hairs for your customers and making it confusing. The way I see it, this can be achieved by making it black and white up front in the beginning. I believe if I pay you for a subscription, then I should be allowed to use my creations any way I want. If this is not the case, I will cancel my membership right away.

    • @PlumpTravelers

      Hey there,
      I understand your frustration. The fact is that right now, it is what it is. And with this video I tried my best to bring some clarity with the resources I could find.
      You'd understand that we have little to no say in what Canva decides to do in terms of licensing agreement.

      @@TeamRonDi I appreciate your honesty with your clarification, but when I see "Design with Canva", it is easy to assume you represent Canva as if you are the company. You were clear in your video, I was disagreeing with how things are setup. Canva should be strait up with its customers about this in the beginning but they are not. I found out about this through TH-cam. It should be clearly stated at the time you pay for a premium membership in bold letters.

      Agreed! Can I use it or can't I use it? I'm sure there are very few people who are designing things on Canva to use for their own personal use around there own house. I think most people are using it for something "commercial". If it's not allowed it shouldn't be on Canva or it should be labeled "personal use only" or something.

      I agree. I love Canva and I have Canva Pro. But what good is a fantastic program if I can't utilize it to the max? (Sell my own created designs etc.) Aren't the graphic design element creators already paid through Canva's pd. subscriptions? I mean C'mon. There's being "just" and acting in integrity then there's just a point of ridiculousness that swiftly turns to greed. I want people to get paid for their element or media creation/contribution to the program, but I mean how many times does that have to happen? These limitations negate all the wonderful possibilities Canva offers. I'm sad.

    It irritates the hell out of me that no one seems to know what the hell they are talking about. While watching this video, I also find myself having to comb through Reddit threds and other TH-cam videos about your Terms and Conditions and Licensing Policies. Someone in the comments dropped the email they received from Canva, revealing that even the support team doesn't know what the policy is. This is incredibly frustrating because I spent the last week and half designing books and its taken hours of my day and all my energy and now that Im finished Im at the point where I don't even know if I can sell these books because no one knows what they are talking about. I'm paying 12.99 for Canva and I don't have any watermarks. When I design my book covers, I'm customizing the little graphics and creating a cover from scratch, NOT from the Template. Am I in violation of anything at this point? If someone else is reading this too, feel free to answer. I'm incredibly frustrated and i don't even see a Contact option for Canva so customer service is really shitty...

      From what i understand if your a canva pro user you don't have to worry as much you still cant use the media in a trademarked logo. But you can sell merch with your design. It just says that you cant sell unaltered media provided by canvas so you have to make your own designs and change the media provided. So you cant just take a graphic from canva and print it on a shirt and sell it. But if you take a graphic and mix it with other graphics add some text, change the colors, than you can use it on merch i.e.make it your own.

    I am equally confused with licensing of Canva. So.... do i allow to use their shapes, frames, background photos ... etc or not ? It sounds like it is ok to use if i have paid for the premium but it will be limited to digital version (of books) up to 2000 copies. However, how will you know how many copies you are going to sell ? and what will happen if i want a printed version of something ? Then the extended agreement comes in (??).

    Hi, thank you for ur video! I had one question. If I buy multi use license for premium elements does that mean I can sell up to 250k print books or do I have to purchase extended license right away? I talked to a canva associate and they said always under extended use license to sell anything. I think the video with the woman and lawyer, they mentioned in the middle of the interview u can sell under one time and multi use as long as u stay in those quota limits under the licenses mentioned but I believe that is not correct according to Canva. A little gray area I'm not understanding.

      And yes, you should connect your Canva account with TH-cam. You can do that by finding the youtube integration in Canva, go to the three little dot menu in the editor > TH-cam. Connect your accounts so that if you get flagged on TH-cam for a song from Canva, TH-cam will know it comes from Canva and you therefore have the right to use it.

      Hi both, i too asked them on twitter whether I can use there free elements, icons and fonts to create Blog images for my blog(which will be a commercial blog because it has affiliate links). They said I can use them on my blog but it shouldn't exceed 48000px or (600X800px) if I'm using elements unedited.
      So I think this implies if I edit those elements (I am not sure what would count editing those elements, like changing colors, adding with other elements etc?) then I can use for greater than 600*800px. For this I have also asked them. Will reply on this once they confirm. But for the first part I think I am clear.
      If either of you has a clear understanding on the second part of this answer then (unedited elements can exceed 600*800px )then please respond.

    In the past you had a 250,000 reproduction limit for Premium elements (free under PRO) because they fell under the Royalty free license. However, now (May 2020) that Canva combined the paid elements with the pro elements, suddenly, all images link back to "One Design Use License Agreement" which limits the reproductions to 2,000. Is this an error?

    • @TeamRonDi
      @TeamRonDi  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, I know that Canva is reworking its licensing agreement. I'll update the video once I receive the new guidelines.

    •  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      ​@@TeamRonDi Thanks for your reply. I checked again today, and Canva has posted an updated "One design" license as of 14/5/2020. Under this updated license there's no reference to a reproduction limit. This is great news! From what I understand, every time a paying Pro user makes use of a Pro image on its design, Canva automatically issues a "One design" license upon exporting that design. This is done an infinite number of times if you use the same image in an infinite number of designs. So, in practical terms, it works just as the multi-use license. The only difference is that, without a full multi-use license, you can't export the image as-is and load it in another graphics program - i.e. a Canva competitor - and use it to make your design there. Whereas with an actual multi-use license you can do that. Otherwise, I don't really see any difference between the licenses from the perspective of a Pro user. This is how I'm understanding it, but I'm no lawyer, so your input will be greatly appreciated.

      I'm unfortunately not in a position to give you legal advice, but I can point you out to Canva's updated licensing agreements: www.canva.com/help/article/licenses-copyright-commercial-use

    Good video my friend,only a doubt. If you bought a photo of multi use licence, you can take out this photo, modificate this photo and put this photo in canva, and use this new photo in your design?

      Hey Jos,
      It's a good question! I guess it depends on how much you modify the original photo. If it's completely different from the original, I'd belive the answer is yes: you can use it. If it's very close to the original, I'd say no.

    so, one cannot trademark a logo created on canvas ?

      Indeed, creating logos with Canva is not ideal for this reason.
