Do you wish you had an easier way of creating images? Canva is a graphic-design tool that is FREE to use and helps individuals &  businesses create images in a fast and cost-effective way.

You can utilise Canva’s templates by creating images, info-graphics, social media banners etc.

The website is easy to use with a drag-and-drop format and provides thousands of images to use for commercial use, thus reducing the hassle of scrolling through websites such as Unsplash or Flaticon for free to use images.

Do I need a dedicated design team?

No! Even if you don’t have a dedicated design team, the benefit of Canva is any team member without prior design expertise can use it to knock up a few quick images and come out looking professional.

Canva has such a variety of tools to use from pre-sized social media image and header templates, documents, presentations, invitations, advert and marketing materials, you’d struggle to not find everything you need.

You can also input your specific measurements to create an image to fit your requirements, we recently created a promotional video and inserted an image designed in Canva to fit the video software requirements.
