Good News: Canva Free Is Actually Great

Unlike most "freemium" tools, Canva's free tier is genuinely useful. You get 250,000+ templates, basic photo editing, and enough to create social media posts, presentations, and simple designs. Most casual users will never need Pro.

Free Alternatives to Canva Pro

Canva Free — Still excellent for 90% of use cases
remove.bg — Free background removal (1 free HD download/month)
Unsplash/Pexels — Free high-quality stock photos
Figma — Free for personal use, more powerful than Canva for design
Google Slides — Free, surprisingly good for social media templates
GIMP — Free Photoshop alternative (steeper learning curve)

💡 Before Canceling: Download Your Designs

After canceling Pro, designs using premium elements (photos, templates, fonts) will have watermarks. Download everything you need as PNG/PDF before your subscription ends. Your designs stay in your account but may become unusable if they contain premium assets.

Who Should Keep Canva Pro?

Keep it if: You create content professionally, use Brand Kit daily, need background removal frequently, or manage social media for a business
Cancel it if: You make designs occasionally, mostly use basic templates, or haven't opened Canva in 2+ weeks

🔍 How Many Creative Tool Subscriptions?

Canva Pro + Adobe Creative Cloud + Figma + stock photo subscriptions can easily exceed $80/month. Upload your bank statement to JustCancel to find all your design and creative tool charges.
