Canva is an online design platform. People use it to create social posts, presentations, documents, videos and print materials from templates, with brand kits, AI tools and content scheduling.
Canva’s editing tools include an AI photo editor, a background remover and Magic Switch, which resizes a design for any platform. Canva’s AI data analysis helps you find the story in your numbers, and an AI writing assistant helps you write and refine text faster. Online sticky notes let you collaborate and ideate with others. You can also build websites, and Canva provides the website hosting.
Canva Education offers the capabilities of Canva Pro, adapted for classroom use. It is open to eligible teachers and students, and some formally accredited organizations can also access it. Students get access only when their teacher invites them, and teachers can share, review and give feedback on student work in real time. Registered nonprofits, NGOs and social impact organizations are eligible for Canva Nonprofits. Canva says government agencies, political organizations, educational institutions and for-profit companies aren’t eligible for it.
Canva apps bring AI tools and third-party integrations into Canva, including a Salesforce app that lets you create designs from Salesforce data. Data autofill fills a design from a connected data source, on every plan except Canva Free and Pro Lite. Developers can use the Apps SDK to create apps that bring in content, add design elements or automate routine design work. These apps can go public in the Apps Marketplace or stay private to your team. The Connect APIs let you bring Canva’s design capabilities into your own web apps and build integrations that sync assets, designs and comments, depending on what your subscription level includes.
Free covers everyday designs. Pro adds premium templates and content, more brand kits, storage and AI tools for one person, Business adds team features and approvals priced per person, and Enterprise adds SSO and dedicated support. Current prices are in the pricing box above.
