Canva has already earned more than canstock, photodune and dreamstime for me this month, and my portfolio has been online for just 3 months. It was one of the worst months for CS and PD, but still pretty cool! Hope more expensive licenses come into play soon, it could result in a significant boost to our income.

Go canva!

Canva removed more images from my portfolio! Some of them were good sellers! I don't plan to upload more! They don't need more of my images!
BTW I am one of those 100+ contributors with regular monthly payments! Or may be it's better to say "I was ..."!

This is personal point of view and personal decision, but i would say do not pay attention on this. Canva already shows us that they know what they do in all aspects, this is a part of the portfolio optimisation. All we know this, but some of us don't want to be affected.

Some of my files are also removed, but this is not something to provoke me to stop uploading. I even didn't check which of my files are removed. I say this as one of the top contributors in Canva.

In this forum i see everyday posts about rejections or removed accepted files and to me this is absolutely not a painful problem. Even more, this problems like rejections will grow much more in the future, because of the increase of the whole microstock portfolio. Be prepared for this :)

We must be much more focused on the content which we will create and less on the content we've already created!!!
At least i give my energy on creating new salable images :)

I just noticed that I have two images that had been approved and sold are now marked as soft rejections.  Is this the same as what's been reported as images removed from CANVA?  I've had no images physically removed from the CANVA site, only the status changed from approved to rejected(s).

Deyan, I agree, but it would be nice to have a better interface, so I could see WHICH photos are deleted.  I don't have the time to browse through all of them to see which one is missing, and like you, I don't think it really is important.  But having no tools to sort my portfolio (to be cutout, rejected, approved, processing ...) is annoying.

I agree that there are a lot to do in the contributors interface and hope to be done soon...

Images are never physically removed by CANVA and you cannot remove them either, though they may continue to sell even after retrospective rejection, because if someone has used an image as part of a design it remains in their folder forever or until they delete it , whether they paid for it or not.

I just sold an image that is not available anymore. How does that even work? Are they now deleting work as soon as they see it sold and they dont like the image?

Has there been any progress on the files marked "processing"? 

I have probably over 100 images stuck like this since I joined last September, I don't want to re-submit them as it would take ages to identify them all.

If you hit pay out, request it, and you will get paid around the 3rd of the following month

How does Canva work?
I've signed-up with Canva and am interested in participating with the Canva site.
I guess I'm missing something here; how does Canva work?
Do I create the designs and post them for sale?  Do I upload photos like any other site for designers to use?
I seem to be stuck on what to do next and am having a hard time finding such information.

Just need a bit of a nudge to get going here.   
thx,

This is no longer necessary.  No need to request payment.  Once you hit payout you will automatically be paid the following month.  Payment will be for the total earnings through the end of the month in which you reach payout,

Just upload images the same as any other site.  The designs are made by their customers using the images uploaded.  If you can make/upload PNG files with an acceptably transparent BG, those seem to sell quite well (for me at least).  An acceptably transparent BG means no debris on the BG or subject edges when viewed over a red, green, blue, white and black field (individually of course  ::) ).

You sign up and use Canva to make designs for your work or other needs.

If you want to be a contributor, then you need to go through a different process, and, unfortunately, Lee seems to be in absentia lately, so not sure how that works these days.

I don't know...

they might be very busy with something that they call "canva for work" ...wich has not been released yet...because it says "coming soon".
I dont' know if this is old news:

Thats what I thought. I hit payout early in May and am now waiting for my first transfer.

My entire port is deleted. I have my eye images online and thats it. They rejected 1000 images. The rest is processing or pending cut out, its a mess. Surely there are some images that are good enough. Feels like Thank you for being a beta tester, now feck off.

I take it you are not embracing portfolio optimisation as some are.  Just hope that CANVA got this wrong, otherwise retrospective rejections could be the next exciting news across many microstock agencies.
Still you could continue selling those images used in designs prior to deletion, no way out of that should you have the opportunity to sell the copyright of any of those images.

If an agency were to delete my none sellers after a 4 year time frame, I wouldnt mind. But these images were accepted about 10 months ago, and even selling. I just checked their library for Irish landscapes, surely mine can compete with most of what I see online, or are definitely better. The rejections dont make sense either.  A couple of duds are still online and beautiful golden hour landscape images of the Wicklow mountains are rejected. Etc.
