Canva data is part of your company's design and cad record. Design and CAD files show how products, buildings and brands are developed through drafts and revisions. Its value depends on years of history, how much real discussion and detail it holds, and which other systems you combine it with.
Canva export: the official steps

Estimate your Canva data
Why AI companies want Canva data
Design and CAD files show how products, buildings and brands are developed through drafts and revisions. They're most valuable alongside the feedback and decisions recorded in other systems.
What makes Canva data worth more or less
| Raises value | Lowers value |
|---|---|
| Working files with version history | Final exports only |
| Projects with feedback in chat or tickets | Stock assets and templates |
| Years of organized projects | Files scattered across personal drives |
| Your own product and brand work | Client work you don't own |
What's removed or excluded
Names, emails, phone numbers, account numbers and other identifying details are removed by a privacy specialist before any buyer or lab sees the data. Anything you hold on behalf of clients is excluded from the license.
How to measure your Canva data
A team owner's bulk download shows the total size.

How to sell or license it
- Don't delete anything. Keep the account active, including former employees.
- Note the size and history. Your total GB in Canva, plus how many years you've used it.
- Get an estimate. Use the estimator above, or the full calculator to include your other systems.
- Request an offer. A direct buyer reviews a sample, prices it, and pays after anonymized delivery. Start with Polyshares, or compare buyers first.
Common questions
Can I sell my company's Canva data?
Generally yes, if the company owns the account and the data is about its own operations. It's licensed with identifying details removed, and anything you hold for clients stays out.
How much is Canva data worth?
It depends on history, detail and what else you combine it with. Use the estimator above for Canva alone, or the full calculator to include every system.
Do I need to export Canva before getting an offer?
Not to get an estimate. Buyers start from your intake answers and review a sample. If you're closing, export before you cancel, since deleted accounts usually can't be recovered.
Do I keep my data?
With a license, yes. You keep the business and the data, and the license covers defined material for a defined term.
