Does anyone know at what date they pay out?

Has Lee left the forum?
If you hit pay out, request it, and you will get paid around the 3rd of the following month

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,

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

Got the money today. So it is automated.

Is Canva still doing weekend intake of uploaded content? I uploaded 30 images on Friday and I don't see them as pending in my portfolio (it's already Monday in Australia)

It's a public holiday here Jo Ann ... Queens Birthday. I am not sure if that will have anything to do with it though.

Ah. I'll bet that's it. Thanks

Has anyone worked out a way of knowing which images have been deleted from the collection?

No ... right now, I'm at an average of 1 disappearing image per day.  With more than 4000 images on Canva, that is not a disaster of course, but I have no idea which image is disappearing and why.  I am not uploading at the moment, so there's no queue.
It could be that there are inspectors re-inspecting, but it could also be (as Lee said) that they are working through my long list of to-be-cutout images, and they are deleting the images that cannot be cutout.  Soooo looking forward to the possibility to sort our portfolio.

So I have only a small portion of my portfolio on Canva - and what I uploaded last Friday never turned up, so the number when I use this URL

https://www.canva.com/portfolio

Hasn't changed for a few weeks (it's 457). That includes the pending cutout items (from way back when, before I realized I shouldn't upload any JPEGs that were isolated) as well as some rejected files.

Up until late last week my portfolio for sale was 411, seen using this link (you'd put in your contributor name)

https://www.canva.com/joannsnover

It went to 410 over the weekend sometime and 408 sometime this week.

The 457 didn't change, which means, I think, that some of the items in that list have gone from Approved to Rejected. I think you'd have to scroll through the pages to see - assuming you could remember what was approved or not.

I'm going to hold off on more uploads until (a) my MIA files from last week show up and (b)  they finish culling portfolios. Why give them more of what they don't want? Whatever that is.

They also edit titles and descriptions sometimes - some very odd changes made in a batch from a few weeks back. I left the file alone, but the change was really strange. This file was re-titled "Small home with the lights on"

https://www.canva.com/media/MABOQa7pQI4

That's not the title I gave it or would give it...

Edited June 10th to add that my 30 files showed up and are now In Review. So portfolio count is 487. My approved files count is now down to 407 - one more previously approved one has been removed.

The bits and pieces approach suggests that the review isn't by portfolio, although Ron said a week or two ago that his "whole portfolio" had been removed.

If possible, and someone from Canva is still monitoring MSG, can you tell contributors when you've completed the cull of previously approved images?

I mentioned to Lee about renaming stuff before and he said that they are not supposed to do it so maybe drop him an email. I have to admit that I will be pleased to be able to know what is being rejected and why ....

Wow, if that is a SMALL home, I would love to see what this inspector considers a MEDIUM or LARGE one.

I just noticed a sale that had an odd description as to which image was sold.  Has anyone else seen this and know what it means?

"MAA5D2HoD_g → via MAA_APIvGEA"

The first I.D. is the original image I submitted and the second "via" image appears to be a completed composition that incorporates my original image.  If I were to guess (and it's only a guess) it looks like the finished composition has been posted on CANVA for sale and when sold, I get a credit as my image is a part of the composition.  As I said I don't really know what this means, so that's why the question.  Anyone?

I believe your image is part of a design. I have one image used in a design and I get a credit whenever the finished design is used. :)

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.

Wow this sounds too bad. Can`t believe this story. That`s bad.

I had one of those that was part of a wedding invitation and had three sales on it.  Hopefully you will get more for yours.

They're still trimming existing portfolios - some time in the last few days 2 items (no idea which ones) disappeared from my active portfolio (i.e. I'm not counting any of those items in the limbo of wait for cutout).

I've had one disappear during the past few days as well.  It is frustrating that we don't know which ones or why.

Yeah, some kind of automated notification system would be useful, like an e-mail with a summary of what's been removed.

Think dreamstime, with their e-mails for images older than 4 years which haven't sold.

how do you see your portfolio? I mean the images that are for sale, not the whole mess including rejected and pending cutout?

One way is to go to your sales and click on the identifier for an image.  When it comes up click on the link for your brand next to the smiley face icon.  Looks like my portfolio has now had another mystery deletion.  Drat.  If they let us know which they are deleting we could know what they don't want which would save us all some trouble in the future.

Thanks!

I just went to the site to check, and my portfolio has been decreased by some two thirds, so that explains the sudden drop in sales.

Not completely sure why they do it, as people are actually buying my images, but ok, I guess they know what their agency needs. The only issue is if they're refusing to take the money (and it's 35% for me and 65% for them) customers spend willingly.

On Canva I often get two sales of the same image at the same time, I guess about every forth sale actually is two dls of the same image, usually some kind of abstract background which I sell a lot of there. I have never had twin sales simultaneously like that at other sites. Does anyone else see the same thing at Canva? I have got these twin sales since I started selling images there last spring.

My portfolio there is less than 600, had BME last month with 100 dls.

Canva is micro rights managed. Each design someone uses your work in requires a separate payment. They are introducing a RF license, but for the moment, if they need the image for brochure, web site and an annual report, that's three sales, not one.

Thanks, I wouldn't have found that on my own... I don't know if any of mine have been deleted, but I have a baseline now.

It does seem that just a few images make up almost all my sales there (not surprising considering the usage).

Just tack your user name (the selling one) onto the site URL - for me www.canva.com/joannsnover - to see the total portfolio for sale. I've dropped another 3 since yesterday...
