Premium Template Library
Transcript
In addition to having access to Canva’s premium stock library, Canva Pro will also give you access to the entirety of Canva’s template library.
While you do have a variety of templates available to you on the free plan, you’ll have significantly more on Pro, giving you far more choice and the flexibility to choose the template that best fits your design needs.
And to be quite frank, the templates included as part of the premium library tend to be better designed as well.
Additionally, Pro templates will often look more polished because they can utilize graphics from Canva’s premium library, whereas the templates available on Canva free will be limited to free photos and icons.
Pro templates will also be able to utilize premium fonts, but I don’t consider that as much of a restriction, simply because you should be modifying a templates fonts to suit your own brand fonts anyways.
Let’s hop into Canva’s template library so I can show you what that looks like, rather than just telling you.
I’ve already done a search for the phrase “instagram post” and I’ve used the filters to narrow the results to portrait sized templates that are tagged as being an “elegant” style.
So if we look through these results, you’ll see there’s a mixture of template options that have the crown on them and those that don’t.
Those with the crown are part of the premium template library, and those without the crown would be available on your free Canva plan.
At this time there unfortunately isn’t a way to filter the template results to show free templates versus premium templates, so you’ll have to do a visual scan to look for that crown icon.
