Can I Use Canva Images on Instagram?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 9:39 pm

As a general rule, you can’t use Canva images on Instagram. That’s because Canva’s terms of use state that you can only use their images for personal, non-commercial purposes.

However, there are some exceptions to this rule.

Exception 1: If you have a Canva Pro account, you can download and share your designs on Instagram.

To do this, go to the design you want to share and click the “Share” button in the top right-hand corner.

From there, select the “Social media” tab and choose “Instagram story” or “Instagram post” from the drop-down menu. Once your design is in the right format, click the “Copy link” button and paste it into your Instagram post or story.

Exception 2: If you give credit to Canva, you can use their images on Instagram.

From there, select the “Embed” tab and copy the HTML code provided. Paste this code into your Instagram post or story, making sure to include a link back to the original design. For example: “Check out this cool design I found on Canva!”

Conclusion: In most cases, you can’t use Canva images on Instagram. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. If you have a Canva Pro account or if you give credit to Canva, you can use their images on Instagram.

PRO TIP: Canva images are not free for use on Instagram. If you use a Canva image on Instagram, you may be liable for copyright infringement.
