Overview
Canva exists for the person who needs a decent graphic now and does not know a layer mask from a bezier curve. Drag-and-drop templates and a giant asset library let marketers, founders, and non-designers produce social posts, decks, and flyers in minutes. Its niche is the gap between doing nothing and hiring a designer, a space Adobe never really served. The free tier is unusually capable, and the team plan adds brand kits and approvals. The honest ceiling: print-grade and truly custom work still belongs in professional tools, and templated designs can look templated without effort.
