About Canva

Canva is a design app with templates for posters, invitations, social posts and resumes. This overview explains what is free, what is paid and tips for beginners.

Canva lets people without design training create posters, invitations, presentations, social media posts and resumes using ready-made templates that you can edit.

How to get started

  • Pick a template that matches the size you need, such as a social post or an A4 flyer.
  • Change the text, colours and photos, and keep the design simple with no more than two fonts.
  • Download the final design as an image or PDF.

Free and paid

There is a free plan, and some templates and elements are reserved for paid plans. Check what is included before you build a design around a locked element. If you use photos or fonts from elsewhere, make sure you have the right to use them.

Our take

Canva makes decent-looking designs quick for people with no design training. The key to good results is restraint: pick a template, use two fonts at most and leave white space. Check the licence before using designs commercially, and be aware that some elements are locked to paid plans, so avoid building a design around one.

An everyday example

A small tailor shop owner makes a simple price poster from a template, uses two fonts, exports it as a PDF and prints it at a local shop, rather than paying for a custom design.
