How hard is it to cancel Canva?

Canva scores 78/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app.

Last reviewed 2026-06-05 · Documented-Policy tier · grade B

Canva subscriptions can be cancelled online via Account Settings (or through the Apple App Store / Google Play / PayPal depending on where the plan was purchased); cancellation stops future renewals and access continues until the end of the current paid period. Refunds are not typically issued for the current billing period on monthly plans; annual-plan holders who cancel shortly after a renewal may contact support to request a review but approval is not guaranteed. App store purchases must be refunded directly through Apple or Google. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription.

How to cancel Canva

  • Channels: online (self-serve), in-app
  • Official cancellation page: https://www.canva.com/help/cancel-canva-plan/
  • Pause/freeze: available, Annual-plan subscribers (Canva Pro, Teams, or Business) can pause for up to 3 months with no charges; the plan resumes automatically and an email reminder is sent before it restarts.
  • Refund policy: https://www.canva.com/help/subscription-refunds/
  • Account/data deletion: Users can delete their account from Settings; all designs, folders, uploads, and teams are permanently deleted after a 14-day grace period during which the request can be reversed by logging back in. Canva recommends cancelling any active paid plan and downloading desired designs first. https://www.canva.com/help/delete-account/

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
