A place to buy premium elements like photos, videos, etc.

What is the marketplace in Canva?

The marketplace in Canva is a platform where users can access a wide variety of design elements to enhance their own creations. It includes millions of stock images, fonts, templates, illustrations, and other design components that users can purchase or access for free. These elements are provided by both Canva itself and third-party contributors who sell their design assets on the marketplace.

The Canva marketplace is designed to be user-friendly, allowing users to easily search for and incorporate design elements into their projects. It caters to both professional designers and non-designers, providing resources that can be used to create anything from social media graphics to presentations. The marketplace is integrated into the Canva design tool, making it easy for users to find and use the resources they need.

How to use the marketplace in Canva?

Canva's marketplace is a platform where you can find a variety of design elements such as templates, images, fonts, and more to enhance your design projects. To use the marketplace, first, you need to log in to your Canva account. Once you're logged in, you can access the marketplace by clicking on the "More" tab on the left-hand side of the Canva editor. This will open a dropdown menu where you can select "Apps and Integrations," which will take you to the marketplace.

In the marketplace, you can browse through the different categories or use the search bar to find specific elements. Once you've found an element you want to use, click on it to add it to your design. Some elements are free, while others require a purchase or a Canva Pro subscription. If a purchase is required, you'll be prompted to complete the transaction before you can use the element. After adding the desired elements, you can manipulate them within your design as needed, such as resizing, repositioning, or changing colors.
