Worried about having your Amazon KDP Account suspended?
It’s every self-publisher’s worst nightmare.
You pour your creative soul into a book people actually want to buy…
You study Amazon’s TOS like you’re prepping for the bar exam (coffee, highlighter, mild panic)…
You do everything right.
But then—whoop!—you run into the clear-as-clay world of image licensing.
Specifically: Can you really use Canva images in a book you’re selling on Amazon KDP? Or will it get your KDP account suspended?
An email subscriber flagged one little line buried in Canva’s terms—one that seems to say “use so much as a single Canva image in your One Line a Day Journal for Expectant Mothers,, and you can kiss your precious KDP account goodbye.”
I have a different take.
I’m no lawyer, but with a background in advertising + design—and a decade of self-publishing experience—I am well-versed in licensing lingo. And in today’s video, I’m breaking it all down for you:
- What Canva’s licensing actually does (and doesn’t) allow
- The exact sentence that sparked the confusion
- Whether anyone has really gotten their KDP account suspended over this (yes, I’ve heard the rumors too)
Plus, stick around till the end—I’ll share my personal take on how to move forward safely when choosing stock images for your books.
You’ve worked too hard to get sidelined by a licensing technicality. Let’s get you some clarity so you can make a decision that feels safe for you.
