About Canva
We are a global online visual communication platform dedicated to enabling everyone worldwide to design. With an easy drag-and-drop interface and an extensive collection of templates—spanning presentations, documents, websites, social media graphics, posters, clothing, and videos—along with a vast library of fonts, stock photos, illustrations, video clips, and audio tracks, anyone can turn an idea into something beautiful using Canva on any device, from any location. Ever since our launch in 2013, we've pursued the ambitious goal of making design universally accessible. We started with the conviction that people shouldn't have to master complex software to tap into their creativity. We're creating a level playing field and opening up design and visual communication to everyone by enabling all people to communicate in ways that were previously reserved for a select few. Our broader mission for Canva has always been clear—what we call our 'simple' two-step plan: to create one of the world's most valuable companies and to do as much good as we can. We're dedicated to our core value of Being a Force for Good, meaning that as our company's value grows, so does our capacity to make a positive difference in the world.
