About Canva

Canva is an online platform that allows users to create a variety of visual content, such as presentations, social media graphics, and videos, using a simple drag-and-drop interface. Users can choose from a wide selection of templates and access a library of fonts, stock images, illustrations, and audio clips to enhance their designs. Unlike many design tools that require advanced skills, Canva is designed to be user-friendly, making it accessible to anyone, from individuals to large businesses. The company operates on a subscription model, offering both free and paid plans, and aims to make design available to everyone while also focusing on making a positive impact in the world.
