Canva began with one bold idea: that visual communication should be accessible to all. Canva’s intuitive drag-and-drop platform empowers individuals, teams, and organisations to create anything — from social content to presentations, websites, and video — without needing to be design experts.

Today, with hundreds of millions of users around the world, Canva is redefining how creativity is expressed and shared. Its all-in-one platform simplifies visual communication across every format — merging design, data, and collaboration into a seamless experience. Guided by a mission to empower the world to design, Canva continues to drive a global movement where creativity is for everyone.
