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 — ensuring your tracks, albums, and associated metadata are correctly delivered 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.

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.
