Creative and design
Canva
An online design platform for creating visuals and documents from templates.
Canva is a browser-based design platform with a free plan for individuals and paid Pro, Business and Enterprise plans. Its Connect APIs let other systems list brand templates and create designs from them with data (Autofill), a capability that requires Canva Enterprise once the trial ends. The older Teams plan is closed to new sign-ups.
Where it shines
- States a free plan for every individual.
- Gives registered nonprofits premium features for one team of up to 50 users at no cost.
- Publishes its security documents (ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, VPAT) on a trust portal.
Check before signing
- Autofill and brand templates through the API require Canva Enterprise after the trial.
- The Teams plan is closed to new sign-ups; teams now buy Canva Business.
