Do I need Canva Pro to use your templates?
Notes on using The Social Trainer templates with Canva's free plan and a quick tip for handling trainer photos and client images.
All The Social Trainer templates are fully compatible with the free version of Canva—you’ll never need Canva Pro unless you choose to upgrade. The only time you might need an extra step is when using your own photo with a background remover (often for trainer headshots, exercise cutouts, or client before-and-after images). You can easily use a free background removal tool or app, then upload the edited image to Canva for the same clean, professional look.
