Canva Free

The Free plan is Canva's entry-level tier and is available to all users at no cost. With zero upfront investment, it's a great starting point for businesses looking to explore the platform before committing. While it doesn't include team collaboration or premium content, it still provides access to many of Canva's core design tools.

Canva Free Features

Even with no monthly subscription, the Free plan is surprisingly robust. Businesses can create designs using over 2 million templates, 4.7+ million stock photos, graphics, fonts, videos, and audio files, all with access to many drag-and-drop tools.¹ The Free plan also enables real-time collaboration and provides cloud storage of up to 5GB. It's an ideal way to test the platform before upgrading to a paid tier.

Canva Free can be a useful starter, allowing you to evaluate its tools before committing. If you're looking to get Canva for your business, this pricing tier is good for teams that only need to design a few assets occasionally.

Canva Pro Pricing

The Canva Pro plan costs £13 per month when billed monthly or £100 per year for a single user.¹ This pricing makes it accessible for small teams, freelancers, and internal departments that need more design capability.

Is Canva Teams right for my business?

If your company has a design or marketing team, Canva Teams enables streamlined collaboration with brand control features built in.

Canva Enterprise Pricing

What is the pricing currency?

Canva charges UK customers in British pounds (GBP), but in some cases, the pricing may appear in US dollars (USD), especially if accessed through international links. If your Canva subscription is billed in a foreign currency, it's worth using a currency converter to understand your monthly spending.

If you want to be sure you avoid any unnecessary conversion fees and hidden markups, use the Wise Business multi-currency card and pay in over 40+ currencies at the mid-market rate.

How to save on your Canva bill next month

To get the most out of your Canva subscription, evaluate how often your team uses Canva and which features are essential. Canva Pro might be enough for a small team, while larger businesses may benefit more from Teams or Enterprise. If you're not using collaboration tools or approval workflows, then Canva Pro might be a better (and cheaper) fit than Teams.

Ask team members how often they use features like Magic Resize, scheduling, or premium content. If only one or two people in your company create designs, there's no need to pay for a multi-user plan.

Lastly, if your subscription is billed in USD or another foreign currency, paying with the Wise Business multi-currency card ensures you're not overpaying due to poor exchange rates or transaction fees.

Get Wise Business for Smart Savings

With the Wise Business account, you can control spending on SaaS tools like Canva. Pay for your subscription in local or foreign currency at the real exchange rate and earn 0.5% cashback on eligible card purchases. That's smart budgeting for any finance team.

Adobe Express is Canva's closest competitor, offering similar features with its own pricing tiers. While Adobe Express is slightly cheaper, Canva Pro provides significantly more templates, storage, and stock assets. For UK businesses producing regular visual content, Canva likely offers better long-term value.

If your team works extensively with Adobe products like Illustrator or Photoshop, Adobe Express might offer tighter integration. But for design flexibility and ease of use, Canva offers better value for most businesses.
