Canva is a great tool for creating graphics and designs. It's free to use and really easy to start using. I have been using Canva for my social media posts & articles for over a year now and it has saved me time and money. The best part about Canva is that there are no limits on what you can do with it, even if you are just starting out as a graphic designer or photographer.

What is Canva?

Canva is a free graphic design tool that makes it easy to create beautiful images for social media, blog graphics, and more.

How Canva works:

  • Select from thousands of professionally designed templates (logos, business cards, and more) or start from scratch with a blank canvas.
  • Use the built-in templates as is or customize them using our simple drag-and-drop editor. You can add your own text and images — even access free stock photos right inside the app!
  • The best part? It's available on desktop, mobile, and web so you can work wherever you want! The community of over 1 million designers will also give you great inspiration when designing your next project or just need some tips on how to use the app!

Canva Pro

If you're looking for more templates and features, Canva Pro is a great option. It has all of the same tools as Canva, but with additional premium features. For example, if you need to create a custom design for your business card or logo, Canva Pro will allow you to do this quickly and easily. It also has access to thousands of images and fonts that aren't available on the free version of the tool.

You can sign up for the Canva Pro trial via credit card or PayPal in minutes without having any financial obligations until the end of your trial period—which gives you time to decide whether or not it's worth paying $12.99/month after 30 days!

How to use Canva?

You can create your own templates in Canva. Templates are pre-designed layouts that provide an easy way to design beautiful images and graphics. You can also choose from thousands of free designs in the Canva library, or you can search for a specific image or graphic to add to your project.

Once you have chosen a template, upload images into each element on the canvas and use text boxes to add text. You can customize any part of your design by resizing, rotating or moving elements around until they look how you want them to look. When you're done editing, click "Create" at the top of your screen and share it with others!

I love the tool, it saves time and money.

  • Canva is the best free tool for graphic designing for beginners.
  • Canva is the best free tool for graphic designing for professionals.
  • Canva saves time and money when you use it.

Canva Pro FREE for Students

Yes, you read that right! If you are a student then you get the Canva Pro Subscription free for a year which will save you 119 dollars. Canva has partnered up with Github Education to bring this tool to students for free. All you have to do is sign up for Github Student Developer Pack and claim the offer here.

Conclusion

I think Canva is a great tool, it’s easy to use and has a lot of options. If you want to create your own graphics or edit existing ones then this is the best way to do it! With Canva you can make professional designs without any knowledge about design software or coding knowledge. On top of this, you can also make money by using Canva and selling your services either as a graphic designer or selling your Canva templates on various sites. In my next article, I will dicuss in detail about all the ways that you can earn with Canva. So, keep an eye out for that. I hope this article was informative and helpful.
