Editorial summary

Editorial summary

Canva is the easiest way for non-designers to produce professional-looking content at volume. The template range covers almost every common format, and team features make it practical for marketing departments to keep work on brand. It is not a precision tool, and interface or detailed vector work belongs elsewhere. For everyday marketing, social and presentation needs, it sets the benchmark for speed.

Canva makes visual content creation accessible to non-designers through a very large template library, a simple drag-and-drop editor and built-in stock media. Team features such as shared brand kits, folders and commenting help marketing and sales teams stay consistent. Its scope spans graphics, presentations, documents, whiteboards, video and print.

“Online design and publishing tool with a mission to empower everyone to design anything and publish anywhere”

The top pick for marketing teams, small businesses and creators who need a steady stream of on-brand content without specialist design skills.

CanvaAdobe Express
