Attribute and give credit to Canva element creators


Generally speaking, there’s no requirement to attribute the creators of the elements used in your designs - but it’s always welcome!

For editorial use (e.g. inclusion in a published news article or commentary), it’s customary to attribute the creator of media elements used (e.g. photography). To do this, include this note "©[Media Element Creator’s Name] via Canva.com" next to the image or in the credits section.

There are two ways to find out a media element creator’s name.

  • If you’re browsing from the editor side panel, hover your mouse cursor over the media element, and click
    More.
  • If you’ve added the media element to your design, click on it, and then on
    Info from the toolbar above.

Make sure you credit the name or username after the word “by.”
