Create for a
marketplace like no other
Become a Canva Creator and earn a passive income
doing what you love.
Canva Creators is on a mission to build the world's best and most diverse content marketplace. It's an opportunity for designers, photographers, illustrators, artists, and subject matter specialists to share their work with hundreds of millions of Canva users. Creators work remotely with complete flexibility and freedom as they empower the world to design.
Focus on creating, we take care of the rest
Forget about deadlines, quotas, timesheets, and invoicing. Join Canva Creators, and you can create what you want on your schedule — forget about the freelance admin.
We're on a mission to build the world's most diverse content library. So, we encourage Creators to design in their language, incorporate their culture, and represent their country.
Canva's marketplace is available to millions of Canva users — seven days a week, 365 days a year. That means your designs are busy earning a passive income even when you're asleep.
