What it is
Canva is a freemium, browser- and app-based graphic design tool used to create social media graphics, presentations, documents and video, offering a drag-and-drop editor alongside AI features including 'Magic Write' (text-to-copy generation) and 'Magic Design' (prompt-to-layout generation). It also includes a built-in 'Design Accessibility' checker, accessible via File > Accessibility > Check design accessibility, that scans an open design for colour-contrast issues, missing image alt text, and other accessibility problems. Free and paid (Canva Pro, Canva for Teams) tiers are available.
