What it is
Canva is a browser-based design editor with AI features built in: generating images from a description, removing backgrounds, resizing a design for another format, and drafting the copy that goes on it.

Start from a layout rather than a blank page, then edit it.
- AI image generation

- One-click resizing
Adapt the same design to a post, a slide and a story without redoing it.
