Create images and graphics for your marketing, blog, and social media – for free.
Canva is one of the most user-friendly and effective design tools currently available to small businesses, marketers, bloggers and social media professionals. You can use Canva to produce visuals for all aspects of your business; from customising images to creating graphics, newsletters to presentations, and invitations to posters. This online tool makes graphic design easy and accessible to everyone.
There are templates for everything from presentations and letterheads to ebooks and infographics. There is no need to know the dimensions of a Facebook cover or Twitter header, Canva has done all the work for you and created correctly sized templates; but if none of these suit your design, then you can create your own custom sized documents and visuals.
Click and drag, it’s that simple!
Once you’ve decided on your design type, then it’s time to choose a layout. Again the online design tool has done all the work for you. There is a vast library of layouts from which you can select and then customise, or you can start from scratch with your own photos that can be uploaded to Canva and then just clicked and dragged onto your design.
The image editing platform provides additional elements such as shapes, frames and illustrations to jazz up your design. There is a good range of fonts to choose from and various options for formatting your text.
