Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

In most cases Canva subscriptions are not refundable, as set out in Canva's Terms of Use, but Canva states it reviews every refund request case by case. Approved refunds take about 5-10 business days on credit cards and 3-5 on PayPal. Subscriptions billed through the Apple App Store must be refunded by Apple directly; Canva cannot process those.

Case by case
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Cancelling stops future payments and you keep paid features until the end of the current billing period, then the account moves to Canva Free. All designs remain accessible, the account stays active, and Affinity remains free with your Canva account. A cancellation can be undone from the Billing page (Stay on your plan) while the subscription is still active.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

Canva Pro, Canva Teams and Canva Business plans can be paused for 3 months instead of cancelling: no charges during the pause and the plan resumes automatically with an email reminder first. Annual plans can only be paused when there are less than two months until renewal. The pause begins once the current billing period ends. Google Play subscriptions can also be paused from the Play Store.

What happens to my account data?

Nothing is deleted when you cancel: all designs remain accessible on Canva Free and your account stays active. When a Teams or Business plan is cancelled, designs, Brand Kit content and shared folders are retained on the free plan, the workspace moves to Canva Free and the team admin remains the account owner.

Frequently asked questions

Answers checked with the steps above
Does cancelling Canva take effect immediately?

No. Cancelling stops future payments; you keep access to paid features until the end of the current billing period, then the account moves to Canva Free.

How do I know where my Canva subscription is billed?

Check your billing email or bank statement. Charges appear as Canva or Canva*invoice_id (direct), APPLE*Canva (App Store) or GOOGLE*Canva (Google Play). Cancel through the platform that bills you - Canva cannot cancel App Store or Google Play subscriptions.

Can I get a refund from Canva?

In most cases subscriptions are not refundable per Canva's Terms of Use, but Canva reviews every request case by case. Apple-billed subscriptions are refunded by Apple only. Note that App Store prices also differ from web prices (Canva Pro is $18 a month on the US App Store).

Can I pause Canva instead of cancelling?

Yes. Pro, Teams and Business plans can pause for 3 months with no charges, and the plan resumes automatically after an email reminder. Annual plans can pause only in the last two months before renewal.

I cancelled but I am still being charged. Why?

Confirm you received the cancellation confirmation email - without it the cancellation did not go through. Also check for App Store or Google Play billing (Canva cannot cancel those), a second Canva account under another email, or an active PayPal billing agreement.

What happens to my team if I cancel Canva Teams or Business?

Team members lose access to paid features at the end of the billing period, all designs, Brand Kit content and shared folders are retained on Canva Free, and the workspace moves to the free plan. Cancelling Canva Teams is permanent - you cannot resubscribe to Teams.
