How to Cancel Canva Pro (Your Designs Stay Safe)

Updated 2026-05-03 · 2 min read

Cancel Canva Pro in two minutes. Find the buried billing settings, steps for Apple and Google billing, and what you keep on the free plan after canceling.

Quick answer

Sign in at canva.com, click your profile picture, go to Account settings > Billing and plans, click Manage Plan, then Cancel Plan. Your Pro access runs through the end of your billing cycle. All your designs are still there on the free plan.

Overview

Canva tucks the cancel button two layers deep in settings, but the process takes under two minutes once you find it. Your designs, exported files, and downloaded assets are yours on any plan. Nothing disappears when you cancel.

TL;DR

  • Cancel at canva.com/settings/billing
  • Pro access stays until the current billing cycle ends
  • All existing designs remain on the free plan (some premium elements may appear locked)
  • No partial refunds
  • If Canva offers a free month extension, accepting it just delays the next charge

How to cancel Canva Pro

Cancel on canva.com

Best for: Anyone billed directly by Canva

Estimated time: ~2 min

  1. Sign in to canva.com. You land on your home feed.
  2. Click your profile picture in the top-right corner, then Account settings.
  3. In the left sidebar, click Billing and plans.
  4. Under Your current plan, click Manage Plan. Canva may offer a pause or free extension before showing the full cancel path.
  5. Click Cancel Plan and follow the prompts to confirm. A screen shows your Pro access end date.

Tip: If Canva offers you a free month to stay, accepting just postpones the renewal by one cycle. If your goal is to stop paying entirely, skip the offer and continue the cancel.

Frequently asked questions

Will my Canva designs be deleted when I cancel Pro?

No. Every design stays in your account on the free plan. You can view, edit, and share them. Premium-only elements inside designs may show as locked until you replace them or re-subscribe.

Can a regular team member cancel a Canva Teams plan?

No. Only the team admin can cancel Teams billing. As a member, you can leave the team from your profile settings, but that doesn't affect the billing for other members.

What exactly does the Canva free plan include?

The free plan gives you millions of templates, the full editor, basic design tools, and around 5 GB of storage. You lose Brand Kit, Background Remover, Magic Resize, and access to premium-licensed stock assets.

Can I get a refund for my annual Canva Pro plan?

Canva's standard policy is no refunds. In some regions like the EU, UK, and Australia, consumer protection laws may apply. Contact support and reference your local consumer law if this applies to you.

I accepted the free month offer. Can I still cancel?

Yes. Head back to Billing and plans during the free month and cancel there. You won't be charged, and the plan ends at the close of the free period.

How do I cancel Canva Pro from my phone?

If you subscribed through the Canva app via Apple or Google, cancel through iOS Settings > Subscriptions or Google Play > Subscriptions. If you originally subscribed on the Canva website, use a browser to visit canva.com/settings/billing.
