Importing bright illustrations or educational images into your Canvas courses is a key contribution to the personalization and quality of your Canvas courses.  

Unsplash, a free service formerly incorporated into Canvas, will no longer be available within the platform, beginning December 09, 2022.    

We know this news is likely a disruptive inconvenience, and we apologize for that, but be assured that this change doesn’t affect your previous courses, and there is still a way to add some illustrated excitement to your current courses. 

First, all previous imagery will be protected and retained. According to Unsplash, any images previously embedded within Canvas courses will remain intact: No broken links! 

And second, you can still access Unsplash images simply by searching the free repository directly at www.unsplash.com, and importing the files into Canvas.  

It is our commitment to make our Canvas users aware of these types of changes in availability and to bring important information to our users quickly.
