To remove the watermark from a premium image in your Canva design, you need to purchase the rights to use the premium element without restrictions. This allows you to download and use your design clearly.
Premium elements in Canva, such as photos, illustrations, and videos, are marked with a watermark (often a criss-cross pattern or the Canva logo) when you use them in a free account or before purchasing them. Removing this watermark requires payment or a subscription.
Based on the provided references, here are the ways you can remove the watermark:
Methods to Remove Premium Image Watermarks
You have a few options to gain full access to premium elements and remove their watermarks:
-
Download Your Design to Purchase Elements:
- When you're finished designing and ready to save your work, proceed to download your design.
- Canva will prompt you to purchase any premium elements you've used in the design during the download process.
- This method purchases all premium elements in that specific design for a one-time fee per element.
- Reference: Download your design to purchase all premium elements used.
-
Click "Remove Watermarks" on the Element:
- While you are still editing your design, you can directly purchase individual premium elements.
- Click on the specific premium image or element you wish to purchase.
- Look for a button or option that says "Remove watermarks". Clicking this allows you to pay for just that single element before downloading the entire design.
- Reference: Click the Remove watermarks button on an element to purchase it.
-
Upgrade to Canva Pro or Canva Teams:
- The most cost-effective way if you frequently use premium content is subscribing to Canva Pro or Canva Teams.
- These subscriptions provide unlimited access to Canva's extensive library of premium images, templates, videos, and other elements.
- With a Pro or Teams subscription, premium elements you use in your designs will automatically appear without watermarks, and you won't need to pay per element.
- Reference: Upgrade to Canva Pro or Canva Teams to get free unlimited access to our extended media library.
Choosing the Right Method
The best method depends on your usage:
- If you only occasionally use one or two premium elements, purchasing them individually via download or the "Remove watermarks" button might be sufficient.
- If you frequently use premium content, a Canva Pro or Teams subscription offers significant value and convenience, giving you unlimited access.
By using one of these methods, you ensure that your final downloaded design is watermark-free, allowing you to use the premium images professionally.
