What is Canva?

Canva is a browser-based design platform that has layered a wide set of AI features (branded as Magic Studio) on top of its drag-and-drop editor: text-to-image generation, background removal, AI-assisted writing for captions and copy, and tools that turn a document or outline into a designed presentation. Its core design tool has a generous free tier with templates for social posts, presentations, documents and marketing materials. Canva Pro adds premium templates, brand kit features and higher limits on AI credit-based tools; Canva for Teams adds collaboration and admin features for organizations.
