What is Canva?

Canva is a free online design tool that makes it easy for anybody to create professional graphics for their brand and business. And when I say anybody, I mean anybody! Oh, and there’s also a handy mobile app as well!

The great thing about this tool is that you don't have to be a graphic designer or really even have an eye for design or design elements to use it.

Entrepreneurs and small business owners around the world use Canva to create their social media graphics for Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn Posts, Pinterest Pins, downloadable pdfs, book covers, logos and the list goes on…

The best elements of Canva?

You can upload your own images to add to your designs and they stay on Canva in your upload library.

Canva allows you to search for stock images to use on your designs, some free and some costing a small fee.

A huge variety of templates for you to choose from if you’re feeling stuck and need some inspiration. You only need to change the colours and fonts to fit your brand style, then it’s yours to download and use.
