What Is Canva?

Canva is a unique platform that allows individuals of varying skill levels to produce high-quality graphics and designs. The tool features a simple, drag-and-drop interface and preset professional layouts for flyers, invitations, logos, posters, infographics, and more. If you’re a freelancer or personal user, Canva offers access to millions of images, including stock photos, vectors, icons, and shapes. There are hundreds of fonts to choose from, and the Canva built-in photo editor helps you choose the best photo and then edit it to fit your specific design. The Canva learning curve is short. Its hundreds of templates make it easy to create graphic designs quickly. You can also start with a blank slate if you have a unique vision. Canva is free for individuals and small groups working on simple projects. For more customization, productivity, and other options, Canva offers Pro and Enterprise plans for a monthly fee.
