Overview
Canva is the world's most popular visual design tool, used by creators, consultants, and agencies for social media graphics, presentations, videos, documents, logos, and more. Its drag-and-drop editor and vast template library make professional-looking design accessible to non-designers. Canva Pro adds a brand kit (colors, fonts, logos), background remover, Magic Studio AI tools, and the ability to schedule social media posts. Teams can collaborate in real time on designs.
