How to Cancel Canva Pro — Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

⏰ 2-3 minutes easy Last Updated: 2026-05-21 $12.99/mo Reviewed by Bill Vampire Editorial Team

Canva Pro cancellation is straightforward — and the free tier is genuinely generous (250,000+ templates). You keep all your existing designs, you just lose access to Pro-only features like Background Remover and Brand Kit.

Official account or cancellation path Canva Pro

Go to Canva Account Settings

Open canva.com and click your profile icon in the top-right corner. Select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Click "Billing & plans"

In the Account Settings panel, find and click "Billing & plans" in the left sidebar. You'll see your current Canva Pro subscription details.

Click "Cancel subscription" or "..." menu

Click the three dots menu (⋯) next to your plan, then select "Cancel subscription". Canva will show you what you'll lose and may offer alternatives.

If you primarily use Canva for one feature (like Background Remover), check if a free alternative exists before canceling.

Already charged? Keep the receipt and the cancellation confirmation. They are the useful part of a refund request.

Choose your cancellation reason and confirm

Select a reason from the dropdown (this helps them but is required). Click "Continue" through any retention offers, then confirm cancellation. Your Pro access continues until the end of your billing period.

Selecting 'Too expensive' sometimes triggers a 50% off retention offer for 3 months.
