Start NowCanva sources music through approved distributors, libraries, and rights partners who deliver audio files, metadata, and licensing information. Once processed, tracks become available within Canva’s audio catalogue for use in videos, social media posts, and presentations.
Users can add licensed music to Canva video templates, social media posts, reels, presentations, ads, and branded content. Canva’s licensing model allows creators to incorporate tracks into exportable media without requiring separate music clearance steps.
Canva needs clean and accurate metadata, including track titles, artist names, genre tags, mood descriptors, and rights information. This metadata helps users search for and identify suitable music within the platform.
Canva uses curated playlists, mood filters, genre categories, and AI powered suggestions to help creators find music that fits their project style. Popular tracks often appear in recommended sections or template based audio bundles.
Royalties come from Canva’s licensing agreements and subscription revenue. Canva reports audio usage and pays rights holders accordingly, with earnings flowing to labels, publishers, or distributors who then pay artists via standard reporting cycles.
