About Canva

Canva is an online design tool for social posts, presentations, documents, videos and printed materials. Its drag-and-drop editor lets you arrange text and media, starting with a template or a design at your own dimensions. For slide decks, you can work with other people through comments and real-time editing, add transitions, and export to formats such as PowerPoint or PDF. It suits recurring visual work where a template gives you a useful starting structure.

Canva Free includes design tools, templates and a library of media. Paid plans add premium content and tools such as background removal, resizing and social scheduling. Pro is an individual plan; Business adds team administration, approvals and more brand management. That distinction matters if several people need their own access. AI tools also have plan-dependent allowances, so a paid subscription does not mean every AI task is unlimited. Check the templates and tools you use regularly against the plan comparison before choosing a subscription.
