If you have questions, check out the Canva's Help Center for guides and FAQs, and reach out to Canva Support if you need personalized assistance.

No, you will retain the work that you have created previously.
If you need to move designs, files, or folders between two Canva accounts, the following guide will walk you through that process.

Copy designs or files

In order to make your Canva content accessible to users with visual disabilities, you’ll need to take one of the following steps:

  1. Export your content as a PDF, choosing "PDF Print" for the best quality
    • When exporting, be sure to not select the checkbox that reads “flatten PDF”. Flattening the PDF will make it impossible for screen readers to read the text within your design.

  2. Provide a comparable text-based alternative

    Social media example: Content posted for social media can be exported from Canva as a JPEG image, but you’ll need to take care to write a manual summary of your design. You don't need to provide a verbatim transcript due to limited space, but make sure to include sufficient information in the description so that viewers can understand your message. You’ll also want to take care to not use decorative fonts in those descriptions (which are not at all accessible). 

 

Canva Groups can be used to collaborate with other Pro users on individual projects.
