What Is Canva?
Canva is an online drop and design tool that makes it easy to create social media graphics, logos, print media designs and more! No graphic design experience necessary. Get Canva here- Canva.com
Why You Need Canva Pro
First let’s look at why you’ll love Canva Pro! Canva Pro has so many cool options that the free version doesn’t. One of the best features is the ability to add many brand colours to your colour options, making it easy to brand each of your designs!
You can also add your own fonts (like free ones you can download here) and there are so many exclusive beautiful Canva Pro fonts.
And, stock photos! So many beautiful, feminine, quality stock photos! Finding quality stock photos that fit your brand is so worth the price alone. And they’re always adding more fonts, design elements and stock photos.
Let’s Compare Canva Free To Canva Pro
Brand Colours
Free version: Limited To 3 colours.

How Do I Get Canva Pro For Half Price?
Want to enjoy all the Canva Pro perks, for half the price? Here’s how I do it! Just sign up for gocashback.com and create an account. It’s easy! Then, once you are logged in to GoCashBack, search for Canva and either create an account or upgrade your current account! You’ll get over 50 percent off your subscription!
That’s it. You’ll get at least 50 percent of what you pay for you Canva subscription, as cash back!!
Remember if you are new to Canva Pro, you get a free trial and then you will need to pay for your monthly subscription if you like the upgrade. But if you signed up through GoCashBack, you’ll get half of your monthly fee, back!
Gocashback.com gives you cash back for shopping at so many other awesome places too like Kate Spade and Sephora. Why have I been paying full price all my life ugh! And why are you?
Another amazing cash back app is Rakuten!! You can save tons of money just for buying things you need anyway! Check it out here – Rakuten.
Hi Steph. Great post and was going to upgrade to pro anyway!
Anyway followed your advice and got put on Canva lite. Is that it. Googled that and nothing!!
How long does it take for cashback to rebate the 50% of your payment?
Can you pay for a yearly subscription and do the same?
You will get money back but I’m not sure if it’ll be 50 percent.
Yearly it’s only 15% cashback
Thanks, Nit 🙂 That’s helpful to know.
I’m signing up for Go Cash Back and I would like to get your referral code!
Yes! That’s what I do and then go through gocashback again when u renew it a month later:)
hey Steph! any idea if this works for indian accounts as well?
I’m sorry, I’m not sure!
Hello, wondering does the folders you put the files in get jumbled up during the time between when you cancelled and reactivated pro?
No, everything stays the same!
What happens if you forget to buy another month and it goes back to the free plan? Will it go back to the two basic folders and unorganize everything?
You won’t lose anything and it’ll all be the same as soon as you go through the gocash website and then to Canva to update your account.
Okay, that helps a lot! Thank you so much! I already signed up for Go Cashback through your link.

Hi Steph. Thanks for the article.
After signing up and receiving the free month trial, the only cancellation option I see is “cancel trial”. Is that the same thing as cancelling Canva pro?
Yep that’s good! Then use the gocashback account to start up again with the pro when your trial is up
