Canva vs Storyboard That

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.

Storyboard That is a web-based drag-and-drop tool for making storyboards, graphic organizers, comics, and other visual assets. Its creator combines scene layouts with a searchable library of characters and other items. Completed work can be exported as PDF, PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, animated GIFs, and image files, or shared by email, social media, and blog embedding. The education offering includes more than 3,000 Common Core-aligned lesson plans and activities, plus integrations with classroom systems including Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and D2L. The Free plan allows two storyboards per week, with a three-cell option, classic layout, and watermarked downloads. Individual costs $9.99 a month; Premium Teacher is $13.99 a month; Teams is $24.99 per user per month. The corporate edition has a 14-day trial. One privacy detail to weigh: Free Edition storyboards are public, can be viewed and copied by anyone, and may appear in Google search results.
