What is Canva?

What it is

Canva is an Australian online design platform with a drag-and-drop editor, millions of templates and stock assets, and a growing set of Canva AI tools. It covers social posts, presentations, video, print, documents, websites and ads, and it owns Affinity and Leonardo.Ai. It runs on the web, desktop and mobile, and Canva Offline is a new option.

Key features

1,000+ design types and 1.6M (free) or 3.6M+ (paid) templates
Canva AI 2.0: conversational design, generating designs, elements and video, Magic Layers and Style Match
Brand Kits (5 on Pro, 100 on Business) with approvals, plus Components
Magic Studio tools: resize, translate, remove background, Magic Write
Social content scheduling, ad insights and AI ad creation (Canva Grow)
Canva Code, AI connectors, Affinity with AI, and Flourish (Business)

Models inside

Canva mostly doesn't say which models run its AI tools. The documented exception is "Create a video clip", which runs on Google's Veo 3 and makes 8-second clips with sound. Canva describes its approach as multi-model, but it doesn't let you choose the model.

Pricing and rights

As of September 2026 on the US pricing page: Free costs $0 and includes up to 20 Standard or Premium AI uses and one Brand Kit with 3 colors. Pro costs US$144 a year, has 10x the Free AI allowance (about 200 Premium AI uses or 20 Ultra AI uses a month) and adds premium content. Business costs US$250 a year per person and doubles the AI allowance. Enterprise pricing is custom. AI Pass and top-ups buy extra AI. Standard AI tools are unlimited (fair use) on paid plans. Premium templates and elements need a paid plan; check Canva's content licence for commercial-use and trademark limits (not re-verified for this listing).

Who it is for

Small businesses, social media managers, educators and non-designers who need a wide range of on-brand content quickly, with AI help built in.

Verdict

Canva is still the most versatile everyday design tool, and Canva AI 2.0 adds real speed. AI allowances are pooled and capped, the best AI tools (Ultra) are rationed, and you can't choose which model runs.
