In their own words
Canva
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.
