Reliance Jio has teamed up with visual communications platform Canva to give prepaid mobile customers in India up to 12 months of free access to Canva Pro and Canva Pro Lite. The offer rolled out on Wednesday across the country, allowing subscribers who buy specific daily data recharges to claim the design service directly inside the MyJio application without paying extra fees. The partnership connects millions of mobile phone users with premium graphic templates, media libraries, and artificial intelligence design tools in regional Indian languages.
Key Takeaways
- Jio subscribers recharging with the Rs 399 prepaid pack receive 12 months of free Canva Pro access, normally valued at Rs 4,000.
- Users on the Rs 349 plan and all 2GB daily data plans priced above Rs 349 receive 12 months of free Canva Pro Lite.
- Eligible subscribers can activate the offer directly inside the MyJio app.
- Canva tools support Hindi and several other Indian languages for local content creation.
How the Free Canva Offer Works
Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, India’s largest telecom carrier, linked the software benefit directly to its high-speed data bundles. Customers who buy the Rs 399 prepaid pack get full Canva Pro for one entire year. This tier provides full access to Canva AI chat-to-design features, brand management kits, a background remover, Magic Eraser, and a built-in content scheduler for social networks.
Users who choose the Rs 349 recharge, or any prepaid recharge above Rs 349 that offers at least 2GB of data per day, receive Canva Pro Lite for 12 months. The Lite version provides millions of stock graphics, premium fonts, print exports, and photo editing tools, alongside lower usage limits on advanced artificial intelligence features. Sydney-based Canva, run by co-founder and chief operating officer Cliff Obrecht, sells a standard annual Pro plan in India for around Rs 4,000.
Focus on Regional Indian Languages
The collaboration places heavy emphasis on regional accessibility. Users can produce posters, YouTube banners, resumes, and festive greeting cards in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and several other native languages.
Kiran Thomas, president of Reliance Industries Limited, stated that the arrangement puts simple digital design tools directly onto mobile screens so that students, local shopkeepers, and creators can learn and run businesses in the language they speak at home. Canva management reported that India ranks among its fastest-growing user bases, with small commercial ventures and schools driving rapid adoption.

- Recharge an active Jio prepaid number with an eligible plan.
