Overview
Canva Creators is Canva's global program that lets graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, artists, video template creators, and educators share their work with hundreds of millions of people on Canva and earn royalties when their designs are used. There are three Creator types — Template Creators, Element Creators, and Education Specialty Creators — and you must submit an application and be approved. Approval centers on a strong, publicly accessible portfolio (5–10 high-quality examples, varied formats, solid design fundamentals, and original work). It's best for designers who can produce scalable, reusable assets that everyday Canva users adopt.
💡 Insider tip
Your application lives or dies on the portfolio: share a public link with NO login required, 5–10 polished pieces across multiple formats (social posts, presentations, documents) so reviewers can see range. Only submit work you actually created — Canva screens for originality.
