About Canva

Canva democratizes design by making it accessible to non-designers through intuitive drag-and-drop tools and 140+ million stock assets. From social media posts to presentations, marketing materials to videos, Canva provides templates for virtually every visual need. The 2025 platform includes AI features like Magic Write (text generation) and Magic Media (image generation), though free users get only 50 total AI credits. Canva Pro ($12.99/month) unlocks background remover, brand kits, 1TB storage, and 500 monthly AI credits. For teams, Canva Teams ($100/year per user) adds collaboration and admin controls perfect for maintaining brand consistency across organizations.
