About Canva

Before Canva, creating a professional looking design was a complex process - you had to purchase expensive software; learn how to use it; purchase stock photography and fonts for the software; decide on a layout; slice images; receive photos and content via email; design something; upload and email the pdf only to find revisions needed to be made … and then finally be able to prepare your design for web or print.

Since launching in August 2013, Canva has been changing the way in which we communicate. Today our design tool has attracted over 15 million happy users across 190 countries, who have collectively created more than 1 billion designs.

At Canva, we believe that everyone has the power to achieve goals, push through challenges, learn new skills and develop exciting ones, regardless of how many years of experience they have on their resume. You’ll be supported by a global team of big-thinkers who are also on their own journey to pursuing excellence.
