• Supported File Types: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, WMA, and WEBM
• File Size Limit: Each individual audio file must be under 250MB.
• Cloud Storage Quota: Your uploaded files will take up space in your Canva cloud storage. Free accounts get up to 5GB of storage, while Canva Pro and team accounts scale up significantly (from 1TB to multiple terabytes).
• Track Limit: You can layer up to 50 audio tracks in a single design.
