Quick answer

Sign in at canva.com/settings/billing, click the … menu next to your plan, choose Cancel plan, then Continue cancellation through the save offer, reason survey, and optional feedback box, and confirm with Cancel subscription. You keep paid features until the end of your current billing period — Canva does not publish a money-back guarantee, and monthly plans are not refunded.

Step-by-step instructions

1

Sign in to the account that owns the subscription

Open canva.com in a web browser and sign in. If you have multiple Canva accounts or teams, the cancel button only appears on the account or team that holds the active plan — log in to the right one first, or you'll see "Upgrade" instead of "Cancel plan."

2

Open Settings → Billing

Click your account profile (top right), select Settings, then Billing in the left sidebar. You'll see your current plan, trial end date (if applicable), payment method, and a Switch to yearly button if you're on monthly.

Open the … menu and click Cancel plan

Click the three-dot menu next to your plan. The menu shows four options: Cancel plan, Manage members, Switch to Canva Pro, and Update payment method. Click Cancel plan.

Decline the "Keep access to premium features" save offer

Canva first pitches a downsell — "Switch to an individual Canva Pro plan (US$15/month)" — alongside the Cancel completely option. Click Cancel completely (it turns purple when selected), then click Continue.

Pick any reason to advance — or pause instead

The "Why do you want to cancel?" screen lists six radio options (team features, billing frequency, too expensive, don't use often, technical issues, Other). Pick anything — the choice does not affect the cancellation. Click Continue cancellation when the button turns red.

Skip the optional feedback box

The next screen is a free-text "Tell us why you're canceling…" box. You can type something, leave a single character, or skip it entirely — Canva does not require feedback to cancel. Click Cancel subscription (red) to submit.

Verify the cancellation toast

A black confirmation toast appears at the top: "Your Canva Teams plan has been canceled. You can still use [plan] until [date]." That date is your end-of-access. Note it. You'll also get a confirmation email — if it doesn't arrive, check the wrong-account scenario in the troubleshooting step below.

Confirm on the Billing page (and keep the undo option in mind)

Back on the Billing page, your plan card now reads "You will lose access to [plan] on [date]" with a Stay on [plan] button. That button is your undo — if you change your mind before the end of the billing period, clicking it reverses the cancellation. After the date passes, your account drops to Canva Free and the undo button disappears.

If this applies to you

If you signed up through Apple, Google Play, or PayPal

Canva's Cancel plan button is hidden when a third party handles billing — instead, you cancel through whoever charges you. iPhone: Settings > your name > Subscriptions > Canva > Cancel Subscription. Android: Google Play > profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Canva > Cancel subscription. PayPal: paypal.com > Settings > Payments > Manage automatic payments > Canva > Cancel. Refunds for Apple or Google subscriptions must be requested directly from them — Canva can't process those.

Canva Teams: cancelling is permanent (consider Business instead)

If you cancel a Canva Teams plan, you cannot resubscribe to Teams later — Canva has rolled Teams into Canva Business ($250/year per person), and the Teams tier is no longer purchasable by new customers. If there's any chance you'll want a paid team plan in the future, switch to Canva Business through the same Billing menu instead of canceling outright. Designs, Brand Kit content, and shared folders all move to Canva Free either way — but the team workspace stops existing as a paid surface.

On a free trial without a saved payment method

Some Canva trials don't collect a card upfront. In those cases the Cancel plan button never appears, because the trial ends automatically and you won't be charged. If you're inside a trial and don't see Cancel plan, check the Billing page first to confirm a payment method is on file — no method on file means no action needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

No future charges — but verify. Cancellation stops the renewal, and you keep paid features until the date shown in the confirmation toast and on your Billing page. That said, a recurring complaint in r/canva is being charged days or weeks after attempting to cancel. The usual causes are (a) cancelling on the wrong Canva account when you have multiple, (b) the actual subscription is in Google Play or Apple billing and you only cancelled on canva.com, or (c) a separate PayPal "automatic payment" agreement is still active. Check all three on the access-end date. If a charge appears after that date, contact Canva via the Help Center with your order number and a screenshot of the statement; if support stalls, a credit card chargeback is the practical escape hatch.

Canva does not publish a money-back guarantee, despite what some third-party guides claim. The help center policy is: monthly plans get no refund for the current billing period; annual plans get a "partial refund review" if you contact support shortly after the renewal charge — it's a review, not a guarantee. EU and UK users have a 14-day right of withdrawal on new subscriptions under consumer law. Apple App Store or Google Play subscribers must request refunds through Apple or Google — Canva can't process those. Reddit reports of refund outcomes are mixed: some users get a full refund after a polite email citing recent non-use; others (including one whose Teams trial auto-charged $390) are told to "continue using the Team plan" instead.

Everything stays. All designs remain accessible on Canva Free, your account stays active, and your Brand Kit content is preserved (though Free is limited to 1 Brand Kit with 3 colors). The catch: designs that use Pro elements — premium photos, videos, graphics, or AI-generated content — show watermarks when you download them on Free, and Pro-only features like Magic Resize, Background Remover, and Brand Voice stop working. Affinity stays accessible for free with your Canva account.

The canva.com cancel button is hidden when a third party handles billing — this is the single most common cancellation confusion in r/canva. Cancel through whoever charges you. iPhone: Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions > Canva > Cancel Subscription. Android: Google Play Store > profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Canva > Cancel subscription. PayPal: paypal.com > Settings > Payments > Manage automatic payments > Canva > Cancel. Uninstalling the Canva app does NOT cancel the subscription on mobile — you must cancel in the App Store or Google Play.

Yes. If your trial has a payment method on file, follow the same Billing > Cancel plan flow before the trial end date to avoid being charged. Note Canva's billing system runs on GMT, so a charge can appear up to a day before your local trial end — cancel at least one day early to be safe. If you started a trial without giving a card, the Cancel button never appears because the trial ends automatically with no charge — that's not a bug, it's by design. Trials that auto-charged before you could cancel sometimes get refunded if you email support quickly, but it's not guaranteed.

Canva Pro: yes, you can resubscribe any time at canva.com/pro, and your designs come back exactly as you left them. Same for Canva Business. Canva Teams: no — cancelling Teams is permanent. The help center is explicit: "If you cancel, you won't be able to resubscribe to Teams." Canva replaced Teams with Canva Business ($250/year per person) on the public pricing page, so existing Teams customers should switch to Business instead of cancelling if they want to keep team features. Pausing for 3 months (free, auto-resumes) is also an option if you want to stop the bill without losing your plan tier.
