Magic Button :
This method gets you Canva for Education — which is literally Canva Pro with extra features — for the low price of absolutely nothing. No student email. No begging your cousin who works at a school. Just you, a free PDF editor, and about 10 minutes of your life.
Why should you care?
Because Canva Pro has:
Premium templates that don’t look like a 2009 PowerPoint fever dream
Background remover (no more janky cutouts)
Brand kits, unlimited storage, resize magic
Basically everything locked behind that annoying “:sparkles: PRO :sparkles:” crown
And now? It’s yours. Forever. For free.
The Method to keep in mind.
Dumb Summary: You’re pretending to be a teacher at a school in Cambodia. Sounds insane. Works perfectly. Don’t question it.
Step 1: Get Your Email Ready
Use a real email you actually own — Gmail, Outlook, whatever. Just make sure:
It’s never touched Canva Pro or Canva Education before
It’s not a temp/disposable email (Canva catches those instantly)
Step 2: Edit the Fake Payslip
This is where the magic happens. You’re editing a template payslip to “prove” you work at a school.
Go here: sejda.com/pdf-editor (free, no signup)
Download this PDF: Payslip Template
Now change these fields:
Field What to Put
School ID BIS-2025-XXX (pick any 3 random digits)
Employee Name Whatever name you want on your Canva account
Position Pick a subject — Chemistry, English, Math, etc. (Grades 10-12 only)
Employee ID Same as School ID. Literally copy-paste it.
Date of Hire At least 2 years ago (ex: January 2022)
Years of Service Do the math. If hired Jan 10, 2022 → “3 years, 11 months, 4 days”
Account Number Change the last 4 digits to anything
Payment Date Make it match Pay Period and Payslip Date
Save that PDF. You’re officially a “teacher” now. Congratulations on your fake career.
Step 3: Get Verified on Canva
Open Incognito/Private mode (seriously, do this — no VPN though)
Go to canva.com/education
Click “Teachers Get Verified”
Sign up with your email — use the EXACT name from your payslip
Verify your email with the code they send
Step 4: Answer Their Questions
School type: Primary or Secondary School (K-12)
Role: Teacher
Grade level: 10, 11, or 12 (match your payslip)
Subject: Same as your payslip position
Country: Cambodia :cambodia:
Check the box: “I don’t have a school email”
Step 5: Upload Your “Proof”
Document type: Payslip
Upload your edited PDF
Confirm the info (Name, Country, School = Beltei International School)
Click Continue → Done
Step 6: Check Your Email
Within like 30 seconds, you’ll get the “Welcome to Canva for Education” email.
Refresh Canva. Watch the fireworks. Set your password. Add a recovery email so you don’t lose this forever.
You now have Canva Pro. For free. Indefinitely.
Quick Warnings
Don’t be greedy — one account per person, don’t mass-produce these
Don’t use temp emails — they get flagged instantly
Keep your details consistent — if your payslip says “Chemistry teacher,” don’t pick “Art” during signup
Incognito mode matters — cookies can mess with verification
