What is Canva?

Canva is a free graphic design platform that makes creating custom graphics easy. Canva can be used to make presentations, invitations, brochures, business cards, and more. Unlike some other design software, Canva's easy-to-understand interface makes it a good choice for beginners and design dabblers who want to get up and running quickly. Note that for more advanced or sophisticated design tasks, Photoshop is still the industry standard.

Canva was founded in 2012 in Perth, Australia by Melanie Perkins, Cameron Adams, and Cliff Obrecht. In April of 2021, Canva announced a new $71M USD funding round, and an updated valuation of $15B USD. Canva is used in more than 190 countries around the world.
