Exporting files with free Canva account when using premium elements 

If you only have a free Canva account, you can only use the free images and graphics in the Canva library which is very limited. When you add premium elements to your design, it will have a “Canva” watermark when you download it which will make your design look so unprofessional. The only way you can download it without a watermark is either you upgrade to Canva Pro or purchase each paid element.

Step 1: Pay and download

To download a design with premium/pro elements, click download and the pay and download button. Take note that you will only pay for a One Design Use license which means you can only use the element/s in your current design. If you want to use it on another design, you need to purchase it again.
