A design tool for non-designers Canva is built around drag-and-drop simplicity. It lets anyone create visuals for social media, presentations, posters, and more without needing to learn design software. You start with a template or blank canvas, then adjust text, images, and layout with just a few taps. Built-in assets and templates A large part of Canva’s appeal is what’s already inside. Fonts, illustrations, stock photos, icons, animations, charts, and more are available within the platform. Many templates feel polished and modern, making it easy to create something presentable in a short time. A premium plan unlocks more assets and brand customization options. Collaboration and workflow Canva also works as a team tool. Users can comment on designs, share links for real-time collaboration, and even assign roles or access levels. Cloud saving and auto-sync make it easy to switch between mobile and desktop. While not as advanced as traditional creative suites, it’s more approachable for everyday use. Limitations to keep in mind Some designs can feel templated if you rely too heavily on built-in layouts. Fine-tuning spacing or layering isn’t always precise, especially on mobile. And while the free plan is generous, certain elements and export options are locked behind a paywall.
