Can I sell Canva Pro templates or Canva-based digital products on Etsy legally?

Hi! Yes—you can sell Canva-made digital products on Etsy, including ones created with Canva Pro, as long as (1) what you’re selling is your own original design (not a lightly edited Canva template) and (2) you don’t “re-sell” Canva’s stock elements/templates as standalone assets or in a way buyers can extract and reuse the Canva content outside of your design.

Here’s how to stay on the safe side for both Canva licensing and Etsy rules:

What’s generally OK to sell (common Etsy digital products)

• Finished downloads you export from Canva (PDF, JPG/PNG, etc.) like printables, planners, invitations, wall art, cards, worksheets, labels—as finished designs.
• Canva templates you made that you deliver as a Canva template/share link (so the buyer edits it inside Canva).

The big “don’ts” with Canva Pro content

• Don’t sell Canva Pro elements (photos, graphics, icons, etc.) as standalone downloads (like “50 Pro icons,” “stock photos,” “clipart bundles,” etc.).
• Don’t take an existing Canva template and resell it with only basic changes (colors/fonts/layout tweaks). On Etsy this is risky because it’s not truly “designed by you,” and on Canva’s side it can cross into re-distributing their template/content rather than selling your original work.
• Avoid anything marked “Editorial Use Only” for commercial Etsy products.
• If you’re using Canva for Education, don’t use that account’s Pro content for commercial selling—use a regular commercial account/plan for Etsy products.

Selling Canva templates on Etsy (the cleanest setup)
If your template uses any Pro elements, the safest method is:

1. Sell access to the template via a Canva link (not an editable file outside Canva).
2. Make it clear in your Etsy listing description that buyers may need Canva Pro to use any Pro elements (or they can replace them with free elements).

Etsy compliance checklist (so you don’t get listings pulled)

• You must have the rights to everything in the Etsy listing: graphics, photos, fonts, and any included branding.
• Don’t use trademarks/brand names/celebrity likenesses unless you truly have permission (this is a very common reason for takedowns).
• Your listing should be accurately categorized as a digital item (or “digital template”) and describe exactly what the buyer receives (PDF download vs Canva template link).

A practical rule of thumb

• If the customer is buying your layout + your creative choices, you’re usually in a good lane.
• If the customer is effectively buying Canva’s stock art library through you, that’s where it becomes “not allowed.”

If you tell me what type of product you want to sell (e.g., invitation template, editable planner, logo kit, social media templates, clipart bundle), I can tell you the safest delivery format and the exact “red flags” to avoid for that specific product.
