Canva

Canva is an Australian visual-communication and design platform. It provides browser and mobile tools that help individuals, schools, community groups and businesses create visual material without requiring specialist desktop design software. The service combines editing, templates, stock content, collaboration and publishing in one environment, with free access alongside paid plans for individuals and organisations.

Users can create presentations, social-media graphics, documents, whiteboards, websites, videos, printed material and branded marketing assets. Canva offers template libraries, photographs, illustrations, fonts, audio and video, along with tools for resizing and adapting designs. Canva for Teams adds brand controls, approval processes and shared content. The company has expanded into workplace productivity and generative artificial intelligence through its Visual Suite and Magic Studio. Acquisitions have added products and capabilities including Affinity’s professional creative software and Flourish’s data visualisation.

Canva was launched in 2013 by Melanie Perkins, Cliff Obrecht and Cameron Adams. The concept followed Fusion Books, an earlier online system created by Perkins and Obrecht to simplify school yearbook design. Canva grew internationally through a web-based product that made common design tasks accessible to non-designers while also adding deeper tools for professional and enterprise users. The company remains privately held and has teams in Australia and other countries.

Canva’s principal Sydney office is at 110 Kippax Street, Surry Hills, New South Wales 2010, Australia. Canva does not publish a general customer-service switchboard. Users are directed to its online Help Centre, account-support forms and dedicated sales channels for assistance, subscriptions and enterprise enquiries.

For the most current product, office and support information, visitors should use the official Canva website, because regional availability and contact routes can change. Corporate services and product availability can differ by market.
