Will I lose access to Affinity Photo if I cancel Canva Pro?

No. Affinity Photo (Affinity by Canva) is free for everyone. Cancelling Canva Pro only removes the AI features (Canva AI Studio) inside Affinity. All core photo editing, vector, and layout tools remain fully accessible at no cost.

Can I get a refund after cancelling?

Cancelling does not automatically trigger a refund. Canva generally does not refund partial billing periods. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, contact Canva support within 14 days of the charge at canva.com/help.

What if I subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play?

You cannot cancel through Canva's website in that case. On iOS: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → find Canva or Affinity → Cancel Subscription. On Android: Google Play → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → select the subscription → Cancel.

I have an old Affinity V2 one-time license from store.serif.com — do I need to cancel anything?

No. Affinity V2 was a perpetual one-time purchase, not a subscription. There is nothing to cancel. Your V2 license remains valid and Serif's activation servers will continue to support it, though the apps will not receive future updates.

Can I reactivate Canva Pro for Affinity AI features later?

Yes. You can resubscribe to Canva Pro at any time from canva.com/pricing. Affinity AI features will be re-enabled immediately upon resubscription.

What happens to my files and designs after cancelling?

All designs and files remain in your Canva account. You can still access and export them on the free plan. Designs containing premium Canva elements may display watermarks or be restricted from further editing until you resubscribe to Pro.

Understand the current model

As of November 2025, Affinity Photo (now 'Affinity by Canva') is completely free — no subscription is required for the core app. The only paid subscription tied to Affinity is Canva Pro, which unlocks AI tools (Canva AI Studio) inside the app. If you subscribed to Canva Pro for Affinity AI features, follow the steps below to cancel it.

Sign in to Canva

Go to canva.com and sign in with the account linked to your Canva Pro subscription — the same account you use to access Affinity's AI features.

Open Account Settings

Click your profile picture or avatar in the top-right corner of the Canva dashboard, then select 'Account settings' from the dropdown menu.

Navigate to Billing & Teams

In the left-hand sidebar of Account Settings, click 'Billing & teams'. Your current Canva Pro plan details and next renewal date are displayed here.

Click 'Cancel subscription'

Under your current plan, click the 'Cancel subscription' button. Canva will show a summary of features you will lose, such as Brand Kit, background remover, and Canva AI tools inside Affinity.

Select a cancellation reason and bypass retention offer

Choose a reason for cancelling from the list (e.g. 'Too expensive', 'Not using it enough') and click 'Continue'. Canva may present a retention offer such as a discounted plan or a plan pause option — click 'Cancel anyway' to skip these and proceed.

Confirm cancellation

On the final confirmation screen, click 'Confirm cancellation'. A confirmation email will be sent. Canva Pro access — including Affinity AI features — remains active until the end of the current billing period.
