Canva
Market: Worldwide
Overview
Canva is a leading online design platform that helps users create professional-quality visuals for both personal and commercial use. While Canva supports a wide variety of design projects, through LabelGrid, our integration is strictly focused on music-related assets — we deliver your audio and metadata to Canva’s music library for licensed use within their design and content creation tools.
Market / Platform Focus
Canva’s music library is embedded within its design platform, enabling creators to add licensed background music to videos, presentations, social media posts, and other visual formats. This gives artists exposure to a broad global audience of content creators, small businesses, and marketers who use music to enhance their projects.
Yes — LabelGrid delivers your music to Canva. Your tracks become available in Canva’s audio library for record labels, distributors, and independent artists alike.

LABELGRID
LabelGrid Integration
LabelGrid delivers only music content to Canva’s platform, formatted to the delivery specification. This excludes any non-musical or unrelated material, keeping the focus on audio tracks and related metadata for Canva’s licensed music offering.
Getting Started
To make your music available in Canva’s music library, simply upload your tracks to LabelGrid, make sure they meet our technical specifications, and schedule your release as usual. Delivery to Canva is handled as part of standard LabelGrid distribution, and we take care of all formatting, metadata requirements, and licensing compliance.
LabelGrid provides the tools you need beyond distribution: catalog management for your metadata and releases, royalty accounting with automated artist statements from the Basic plan up, and promotion tools including smart links and pre-saves.

How long until my release is live on Canva?
Go-live timelines vary by platform, so verify current Canva ingestion times before setting a release date. LabelGrid processes and reviews your release, then delivers it to Canva, and the platform ingests it on its own schedule. Planning a specific release date? Submit ahead of time and confirm current Canva timelines so your music is available in the library when you need it.
