Important Update to the Canva Contributor Agreement
Dear contributor,
We’re making some changes to the Canva Contributor Agreement, to reflect the new image subscription product that we'll be launching soon.
For contributors, this new product offers the following benefits:
• A second revenue stream, in addition to regular sales made within Canva
• Access to a massive customer base
• Potential for more revenue per customer thanks to the recurring subscription model
While users will be able to use all the images they like just like a Spotify or Netflix subscription (and at a similar price point), we will be actively monitoring and blocking any abuse of the service. Please note that at this stage the subscription will only include photos (not vectors).
Feel free to contact us with any further questions: [email protected].
Cheers,
The Canva Content Team
How can they send this out and not give details on what the royalty is?Yea, id like to know that too!
Oh my... :-\YES! I agree!!
Why do they all compare themselves to entertainment websites?
Who is that stupid there to think that watching a movie and licensing a movie are the same?
Netflix pays miilions to its "contributors" to buy their content to add to their collection!
They pay literally millions of dollars to comedians, filmmakers etc. to be able to stream their products on their platform!
And you can't download and use a movie from Netflix!
Either they are idiots, or they think we are :D
The WORST news would be that they will be offering it as a partner site to IStock, and IStock contributors will be getting a cent or two per download through them.
Et tu, Canva?
Strangely, the portfolio page is down: it is not possible to remove my images.
Our engineers are working hard to fix the issue, however in the meantime you can use this alternative URL to see your images: [url=http://www.canva.com/h1-content/portfolio]www.canva.com/h1-content/portfolio[/url] ([url]http://www.canva.com/h1-content/portfolio[/url]). Use this for the next week and after that the usual page should be working just fine
How much will we be paid per download for this « free buffet » subscription?
The subscription will be $12.95/month, and we'll be sharing revenue 50-50 with contributors. We'll be monitoring usage to ensure no one is abusing this subscription.
Can we opt-out of that?
Of course you may. Opting-out of the subscription will also unfortunately opt you out of the regular library too, which is why I would suggest hanging in there until you see how the first month or so goes. You can opt-out at any stage Patrick.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Elle
P.S. We've launched a new blog to share the latest ideas and case studies from our team. Check it out here: product.canva.com.
When I asked in early August, I was told that the report would come after the first quarter and it had only just launched. Thereafter it will be reported monthly.
I will close my account on 1st November unless I see a decent return for my images.

...I work for Canva on the marketplace side, and I just discovered this forum. Hope it's OK for me to post here, ...
You should see Photos Unlimited earnings on the following page: https://www.canva.com/account/sales (https://www.canva.com/account/sales)
Hey everyone,
We now report Photos Unlimited revenue shortly after the end of each month. If you switch the date selector to August or a prior month, you should see your Photos Unlimited downloads and earnings. They are paid to you as part of our normal payment processes.

Even at the correct link, I show no subscription sales. My sample size should be big enough, although I'm down 75% in DLs from last August and even more in $$$.
Someone else here said they wouldn't have shown up yet at all.

I have more than 10K images there and I was in around top 30 in Canva before the drop last year. I don't see any of this subscription sales.
I don't see any of this subscription sales.To to so, look at refunds at Istock ESP... :-\

Hey Deyan, please see my last reply.
You will see subscription sales in the new interface, which is rolling out by next Monday. I can confirm you have subscription sales. Sorry that it's not showing up on the old dashboard.

Still not seeing anything new in the reporting.
"next Monday".... is actually a public holiday in Australia (or at least, in NSW where Canva is HQ'd).
They are definitely liars. I remember not long ago the deactivation of fotolia files when they created the dollar Photo Club.
Anyone who sells their entire portfolio for $ 12 is an idiot auction that only deserves to be downloaded by a pirate and resold.
This is first month (may) 1000 files portfolio
0,08 per sale
Waiting response of close account

Let we be honest, this is only in May by my opinion. Each month after May have average 0.20 USD on subscriptions which is not much but not 0.08
Great analysis Robert. How confident are you in the results you see in the Sales page though - whenever I click to a new month (and September 2019 isn't there in the drop down) I see different figures and image sales for multiple different months in the details.
The interface seems to be really screwed up in terms of what it is showing and the figures don't match what I have been putting into my spreadsheets each month using the older interface.

April $.08
May $.16
June $.19
July $.19
August $.22
I did an in-depth analysis of my first Canva Photos Unlimited earnings and sales in my blog:

I didn't really follow what's happening at Canva. First look at the stats shows that my income dropped like 500% between March and June and stayed at that level.
Is that only my case or have others experienced the same?

It is no wonder that revenue drops when they invite customers to use over 1 million new free images.

The "free images" offer started in May 2019.
Ok, so I guess that started around that time ?
Has anybody else noticed their DL numbers randomly decrease in the new interface?
Last night when I made a final check of sales before calling it a day I had 100 dl's this morning I only have 98.
It happened once during the day yesterday when I seem to have lost a sale...
And I'm still having trouble reconciling my records with this month payment.
I may have just hit my frustration threshold with these clowns.
I already closed my Canva account in May. Unfortunately my portfolio on iStock is published on Canva. I will end up by making pennies on Canva through iStock >:(
Anyone know if it is possible to opt out for Canva on iStock ?
As for balancing the income ... they added the subs to the monthly tally but that has not been added to the final tally. If you go back several months you will see all the subs that have not been added into your payment total.
I have had tickets in since the 9th and the only response has been an autoresponder. I then asked on FB whether they actually looked at tickets and they assure me they do. They said they would escalate it, so far still no response and the figures are still inaccurate.

Same problem here. Sub earnings not added to my payment total. No response to my ticket to them.

If you mind the October subs earnings, they will appear after the month finish.
..... Lets do the same thing we all did to Depositphotos - They ended up having an outdated library within 48hours when a lot of us with expensive portfolios deleted our pictures.What happened with Depositphotos? Was it discussed here or somewhere I could read about it? Could somebody drop a link or explain briefly?

Yep, I got some 70 downloads, then suddenly it reset to 3 downloads. This happened at 1 Nov 2019.
Here's what I got back:
"To answer your question about royalties, revenue will be calculated based on the subscriber share model, which means that we distribute 50% of revenue to contributors shared based on the number of sales made by each photographer.
In regards to opting out, you just have to give me the word and I'll take your name off the list. That said, opting out of the subscription unfortunately automatically means your images won't appear anywhere in Canva :(
Can I suggest that you give it a month or so and see if you're happy with it, and you may opt out at any stage thereafter?"
