But just in case, let&#8217;s give you a brief intro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Canva is the ultimate design platform<\/strong> and I am not even exaggerating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">If you are looking to create <strong>any form of digital content<\/strong>, Canva is the place to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The platform is <strong>completely cloud-based <\/strong>meaning it will save you a ton of space on your computer. You also <strong>have a lot of functions<\/strong> that can help you<strong> create and share your creations effortlessly<\/strong> from your Canva workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">With the free version, you get <strong>5GB of storage space <\/strong>which is generally good for just a small content creator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">However, <strong>with the pro version, you get 100GB of storage space.<\/strong> This is massive but also much needed if you are running several platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">But what makes Canva so special? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">It&#8217;s the fact that <strong>you can literally do anything on it! <\/strong>From creating Instagram posts to digital ads to youtube intros to professional presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">You want it, you get it on Canva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\">What Do You Get With Free Canva Account?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The first thing you need to know is that <strong>you do need to sign up if you want to be a regular user on Canva.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">But you do have the opportunity to <strong>play around with it a little before you sign up <\/strong>if you want to get a feel for the free version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/play?locale=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"click here\">click here<\/a> if you want to test things out before you sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">With that being said, once you do sign up, you will <strong>get access to a lot of amazing things<\/strong> with the free version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-aaf8a73\" data-block-id=\"aaf8a73\"><style>.stk-aaf8a73 .stk-img-wrapper{filter:drop-shadow(0px 5px 10px rgba(153,153,153,0.35)) !important}<\/style><figure class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch stk--shadow-0px 5px 10px rgba(153, 153, 153, 0.35)\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-2394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themindedmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Canva-workflow.png\" width=\"1884\" height=\"890\" alt=\"Canva pro workflow\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themindedmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Canva-workflow.png 1884w, https:\/\/www.themindedmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Canva-workflow-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/www.themindedmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Canva-workflow-1024x484.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.themindedmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Canva-workflow-768x363.png 768w, https:\/\/www.themindedmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Canva-workflow-1536x726.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.themindedmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Canva-workflow-769x363.png 769w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1884px) 100vw, 1884px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">There are <strong>hundreds of design types <\/strong>that you can use for social media, Pinterest, presentations, CVs, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">You also get access to <strong>hundreds of thousands of free stock images, videos, and elements<\/strong> that you can use on your designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">If you already have a brand, you can <strong>add one brand kit with your<\/strong> <strong>preferred colors and fonts<\/strong> so that your designs remain cohesive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">And like I mentioned earlier, those <strong>5GB of storage space are really nice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">These features alone will be <strong>great if you have a smaller platform or if you only need a few designs per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\">What Features Does Canva Pro Have?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Moving on to<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/partner.canva.com\/c\/3052531\/647168\/10068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canva Pro<\/a>, we can see a huge jump when comes to<strong> productivity and accessibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">I will get into <strong>6 of the major features<\/strong> that you should take into consideration in the next section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">But outside of those 6, there is still a lot more to Canva Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">You will have <strong>access to all of the templates<\/strong> that Canva has to offer.

Canva Pro: Side By Side Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">There are some major features in Canva Pro that can <strong>make your productivity a lot better.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">In fact, most people who <strong>switch from the free version to the upgrade<\/strong>, do so because of only a few key things on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">So instead of going into the minute details of how many templates you get or stock images, I am going to go a bit deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">We are going to <strong>compare 6 key features that will be vital for you<\/strong> to think about before you make your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">So take a look at what you can actually do with the features and how the free version will work versus how the pro version will work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block stk-600b84b\"

data-block-type=\"core\">If you are someone who <strong>only needs to create a few digital creations every now<\/strong> and then, you will get more than you need with the <strong>free version of Canva.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">For example, if you are <strong>running one social media platform<\/strong> where you maybe <strong>post once or twice a day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Or if you use Canva to <strong>make presentations<\/strong> for work or other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">However, if you are someone like me who has a <strong>youtube channel, social media platforms, as well as a blog, then upgrading to Canva pro will be the best decision for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The more you have on your plate, the more productive you will need to be. So things like <strong>batching your content and scheduling <\/strong>are just so much easier with the upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Plus you get <strong>access to high-quality features<\/strong> that will make your content look more professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\">Can You Get Canva Pro For Free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Yes, you can get Canva Pro completely for free for 30 days with their free trial. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">This is truly the best option if you want to <strong>test out the upgrade before you purchase.<\/strong> This is exactly what I did and once I saw how much more content I was able to create, I knew that I needed to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">You can click the image below or <a href=\"https:\/\/partner.canva.com\/c\/3052531\/647168\/10068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"

say that I do EVERYTHING on Canva, I am not kidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Here is a list of some of the things that I create on the platform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul data-block-type=\"core\"><li><strong>Digital checklists<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>sign-up form templates<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>youtube text animations<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>greenscreen

questions from my viewers about how I <strong>make my animations<\/strong> and where I get my stock images from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Every time I tell them that it is from Canva they are completely surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>That is how great Canva Pro really is. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Not to mention that it has<strong> saved me tons of time <\/strong>when it comes to <strong>planning and batching<\/strong> my content for my different platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The <strong>quality
