Top 862 Graphic Design Keywords
Monthly search volume, CPC, competition and a 12-month trend for 862 graphic design keywords, updated October 2026.
Graphic design keywords are what clients and learners search: software, courses, jobs, salaries, portfolios, and the services themselves (logo design, flyer design). The service terms are where freelancers and agencies compete; the software terms bring the volume.
The list holds 862 keywords with a combined 421,556,110 searches a month. The most searched are canva (185,000,000), pinterest (151,000,000), figma (5,000,000), fonts (5,000,000), fiverr (4,090,000), gif (3,350,000), blender (2,740,000), upwork (2,740,000), creative cloud (2,240,000) and behance (1,830,000).
Advertisers pay most for digital asset management ($13.13 a click), telepresence ($9.69 a click), ticketing systems ($7.73 a click), churn reduction ($7.30 a click) and grasshopper ($7.08 a click). 22% of the keywords in the list cost $1 or more a click, which marks the commercial end of the niche.
Demand is steady through the year: across the list, the busiest and quietest months are within 1.3x of each other. The trend column shows each keyword's own twelve months.
Volumes are global monthly averages from Google; CPC is the top-of-page bid in US dollars; competition runs from 0 (few advertisers) to 1 (many). Last refreshed October 2026. For any other keyword, the free search volume checker gives the same numbers, and the Keywords Everywhere extension shows them inside Google as you search.
