Canva
Design platform with AI generation built into a template-based editor.
Canva's AI features sit inside a design tool that non-designers already know how to use. Generation, background removal and resizing are steps in an existing workflow rather than a separate product — which is why it gets used rather than just tried.
Our take
The pragmatic choice for teams without a designer. If you have design skills, dedicated tools give far more control.
