Canva integrates Artlist’s royalty-free music and footage library

Artlist, a company that offers royalty-free digital assets, announced a partnership with Canva on July 15, 2024. The deal will give Canva users access to Artlist’s library of songs and videos.

The companies said the partnership will empower marketers and creatives to bring their vision to life. Canva users will be able to use Artlist’s music and footage for videos, social media content, presentations, and more without needing an Artlist subscription.

“Music and footage are powerful tools for storytelling and can dramatically enhance the impact of any design or video,” said Amit Ashkenazi, Chief Strategy Officer at Artlist, in a press release. “We at Artlist are committed to removing the barriers to creativity, and this partnership with Canva is a significant step in that journey. We are excited to make our diverse library of music and footage accessible to a wider audience, enabling brands and creators worldwide to easily produce professional content.”

“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Artlist to make their beautiful content available to Canva users,” said Tanya Raheja, Head of Content at Canva. “With access to authentic, diverse and high quality footage and music, everyone from students to creative professionals now have an expanded toolkit for creating effective, engaging designs.”

The partnership will also make it easier for brands to create content that stands out. Businesses with the best assets and tools at their disposal have a significant advantage in the creator economy.

To find Artlist assets, go to the Elements panel when in the Canva editor and search for @artlist. This will open thousands of video and audio results that you can simply drag and drop into the editor. Here’s an example:
