Canva vs Edpuzzle

Canva is a design platform for creating presentations, social content, videos, print materials, photo edits, websites, and PDFs. It combines templates, illustration tools, brand kits, and real-time collaboration, with export options including PDF, JPG, PNG, SVG, and PPT. Its AI tools include Magic Layers, Magic Eraser, Background Remover, Magic Write, and image generation. The Free plan includes 1.6M+ templates and 4.7M+ photos, videos, graphics, and audio, alongside one Brand Kit with three colours, 5GB storage, and up to 20 Standard or Premium AI uses. AI use is pooled across listed tools and resets monthly; higher-tier tools use more allowance. Canva offers free desktop downloads for Windows and Mac, and a mobile app. The Free plan costs nothing. Business adds team administration, approvals, permissions, and brand controls. Eligible nonprofits can receive a free premium subscription for one team of up to 50 users. Canva was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Sydney, Australia.

Edpuzzle is an online learning platform for teachers and educational institutions to assign interactive video lessons and follow student progress. Teachers can choose a YouTube video, upload their own, or reuse another teacher’s lesson, then add voice recordings and questions. The Question Generator can insert multiple-choice or open-ended questions, though it may be unavailable if a video lacks enough information. Students can work at their own pace while teachers check progress in real time. Integrations include learning management systems such as Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas, Schoology, Moodle, Blackboard, and others. The Google Classroom add-on lets teachers manage assignments there, and students can complete lessons without a separate Edpuzzle account. Progress tracking requires student accounts, except in open classes. Edpuzzle offers web, iOS, and Android apps, plus a Chrome extension for screen recording and importing YouTube videos. The free Basic plan includes 20 interactive activities and 10 supported assignments. Pro Teacher costs $13.75 a month and includes unlimited activities and 120 supported assignments. Extra supported assignments, up to 250 total, cost an additional $19.25/month on annual plans only.
