Canva

Canva is a free-to-use online design and publishing platform, founded in Sydney, Australia in 2013. Its drag-and-drop tool allows students, professionals and other users to produce social posts, presentations, posters and similar visual content without specialist software or extensive training. The platform operates as a software-as-a-service product and is used by millions of people worldwide; more than 30 billion designs have been created on it to date.

The product suite extends beyond the core editor. A library of design templates supports a broad range of content types, and integrated stock media libraries supply assets for use within designs. Collaboration features enable teams and individual users to work on designs together inside the platform. Technical work spans web-based design tools, drag-and-drop interface and user-experience design, SaaS platform engineering, visual communications, collaboration software and stock media integration.

Canva describes its mission as empowering the world to design anything and publish anywhere, with an emphasis on making powerful design accessible to people who are not experts. The stated approach pairs a focus on simple, accessible user experience with continued expansion of features, and serves customers across design and creative tools, education, business productivity, social media marketing and publishing. The company's reach is global, with a wide partner network supporting growth.
