Canva is one of the most powerful and user-friendly platforms for graphic design. With Canva, users can create social media graphics, presentations, posters, infographics, flyers and other visual content. Its features include:
- Extensive template library
- Fonts
- Illustrations
- Stock photography
- Simple drag-and-drop user interface
- Different format types for downloading
- Different sizes and quality available
- Power to include content from the web such as Giphy and Google Maps
The best thing about Canva is that you can invite people to collaborate on a project. You can invite up to 350 members to your team and share designs/folders with them. Canva is available for web use and on iOS and Android.
The major downside to Canva is that you can spend hours creating a design only to find out that it is not downloadable because some the features you used were available only on paid accounts.
Canva is something we started using recently, and I’m kicking myself for not diving in sooner. We highly recommend using Canva for high quality graphics such as the one that headlines this blog post. Another tool with a free version, Canva comes with pre-built templates for every kind of image you can imagine, from Infographics to eBooks to Social Media graphics and everything in between. Give it a try – pretty sure you’ll love it and it will help take your social media posts to the next level. In fact, the featured image for this blog post was slapped together in Canva in about 20 seconds.
