How to Search Free Elements in Canva
If you're using the free version of Canva, it can be really challenging to find elements or assets like photos, videos, or icons you want to use on your design because a lot of them are premium. When you insert a premium asset into your document, you'll see a watermark, and it just doesn't look pretty. Here's how to filter your search to only the ones that are free to use.
