Canva Redefines Visual Communication
at Scale with Cloudflare

Leveraging a unified global network to enhance performance, strengthen security, and enable scalable innovation, Canva expanded to serve over 260 million monthly users globally while requiring a robust solution to maintain performance, secure user assets, and streamline internal access. By adopting Cloudflare connectivity cloud, Canva successfully fortified its application security, empowered developers with edge computing, and replaced vulnerable legacy VPNs with a Zero Trust architecture. Read this case study to explore how Canva leverages a unified global network to protect user generated content from malicious artificial intelligence scraping while accelerating mergers and acquisitions.

3 Key Takeaways

✓ Programmable Edge Computing: Canva uses Cloudflare Workers to process logic closer to the user. This serverless approach offloads complex routing and security tasks to the global network, which boosts developer velocity and simplifies backend operations.
✓ Comprehensive Application Security: To protect digital assets, Canva implemented Bot Management and Web Application Firewall solutions. This effectively stopped malicious artificial intelligence bots from scraping user generated content, which instantly reduced bandwidth costs and preserved content partner trust.
✓ Seamless Zero Trust Integration: Securing a hybrid workforce of over 5,000 employees required moving away from traditional perimeter defenses. Cloudflare Zero Trust Network Access provides context aware, frictionless access to internal applications, which significantly accelerates integration timelines during corporate acquisitions.
