What's included in Canva

Canva Brand Kit
Canva Brand KitCanva Brand Kit is a centralized brand management feature within the Canva design platform that serves as the foundational system for storing, organizing, and applying a brand's visual and tonal identity across all designs. It is available as part of Canva Pro, Canva Teams, Canva Business, Canva Enterprise, Canva Education, and Canva for Nonprofits plans. At its core, Brand Kit consolidates all essential brand elements — logos, color palettes, typography, imagery, graphics, icons, and brand voice guidelines — into a single, accessible hub. Admins and brand designers set up Brand Kits, while all team members can instantly access approved assets directly from the Canva editor or homepage, ensuring every piece of content stays on-brand without requiring manual asset hunting or guesswork. Brand Kit supports multiple kits within a single account, allowing organizations to manage up to 1,000 Brand Kits (depending on subscription tier) for different teams, clients, campaigns, sub-brands, or product lines. Each Brand Kit has its own dedicated landing page with customizable icons, banners, and asset category tiles, giving it a look and feel that reflects the brand it represents. Key asset categories within a Brand Kit include: brand logos (supporting JPG, PNG, and SVG formats), brand colors (defined by hex or CMYK codes, grouped into primary and secondary palettes), color themes (coordinated color sets that apply across backgrounds, elements, and text in one step), brand fonts (for headings, subheadings, body text, quotes, and captions), brand voice (personality and tone guidelines for written content), and custom asset categories (up to 40 per kit) for photos, graphics, icons, illustrations, and other visual content. The Brand Kit Builder feature automates setup by extracting brand elements directly from a company website URL or an uploaded PDF brand guidelines document — pulling logos, colors, fonts, graphics, photography, brand voice, and guidelines with minimal manual effort. Brand Templates are tightly integrated with Brand Kit: admins and brand designers can publish and assign approved templates to specific kits, giving teams a curated library of on-brand starting points. These templates also power Canva AI, which references the Brand Kit's colors, fonts, tone, and style to generate new designs that are automatically aligned with the brand. Brand Controls, a companion feature, allows admins to restrict team members to only the colors and fonts defined in the Brand Kit, and to require design approval before any content is published — enforcing brand governance at scale. Brand Kits can be shared across an entire organization (available on Canva Enterprise and Canva for Districts), assigned to specific teams (in beta for Enterprise), or scoped to individual project folders. Folder-level Brand Kit assignment lets project teams work within a specific brand context without affecting organization-wide settings. Personal Brand Kits are also available (when enabled by an admin) on Canva Teams, Business, Enterprise, and select Education plans, allowing individual users to maintain a private set of personal brand assets separate from team kits. Asset insights are available on paid plans, giving brand managers visibility into how brand assets are being used. Canva AI integration with Brand Kit — including features like Magic Design and Magic Write — enables AI-generated designs and copy that automatically reflect the brand's visual identity and voice, making on-brand content creation faster and more scalable for teams of any size.
Canva Docs
Canva DocsCanva Docs is a visual-first, AI-powered online document editor built into the Canva platform. It enables individuals, teams, businesses, and educators to create, collaborate on, and share rich, engaging documents — going far beyond traditional word processors by combining familiar text editing with Canva's full suite of design capabilities. At its core, Canva Docs allows users to produce a wide variety of document types: strategy and training docs, business proposals, project plans, financial reports, meeting minutes, lesson plans, ebooks, newsletters, creative briefs, and more. Documents can be started from scratch or from a library of professionally designed templates, and the drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to add, rearrange, and format content without any design experience. What sets Canva Docs apart is its deep integration of visual elements. Users can embed Canva designs — including presentations, whiteboards, social media posts, banners, and graphics — directly into their documents. Charts, graphs, tables, images, videos, GIFs, stickers, and animated banners can all be inserted inline, transforming static text into dynamic, scrollable, interactive experiences. The Scrollables feature lets creators deliver content as interactive, animated visual stories. Canva Docs includes Magic Write, an AI-powered writing assistant built on OpenAI, which generates copy, outlines, and content ideas from a simple prompt. The broader Canva AI suite also enables users to generate images and videos (via Magic Media and Dream Lab) directly within a Doc. Magic Switch allows one-click transformation of a Doc into a Canva Presentation or a published website. A built-in Translate tool supports translation into over 100 languages, making it suitable for global teams. Collaboration is a first-class feature: multiple users can work simultaneously in real time, with live cursor tracking and color-coded selections. Suggestion mode enables tracked changes and comment threads, while @mentions, emoji reactions, task assignments, and to-do lists support both synchronous and asynchronous teamwork. Collaborators without a Canva account can participate anonymously. Documents can be organized, starred, and managed in a shared workspace. Built-in Insights (analytics) show how audiences interact with a Doc — tracking views, engagement, and collaborators over time. Docs can be downloaded as PDF or DOCX, shared via a branded URL, or published directly as a website connected to a custom domain. Canva Docs is available on desktop, tablet, and mobile, with autosave ensuring no work is lost. It is free to use across Free, Teams, Education, and Enterprise accounts, with additional features available on paid plans. As part of Canva's Visual Suite, Canva Docs integrates seamlessly with all other Canva products, giving users access to a content library of over 100 million design assets and hundreds of third-party apps directly within the document editor.
Canva Presentations
Canva PresentationsCanva Presentations is a browser-based, AI-powered presentation creation and delivery platform built into the Canva Visual Suite. It enables individuals, teams, businesses, and educators to design, collaborate on, and present visually compelling slide decks — without requiring any prior design experience. **Creating Presentations** Canva Presentations offers multiple starting points. Users can choose from thousands of professionally designed, fully customizable templates spanning industries such as business, marketing, technology, and education. Alternatively, the AI-powered Magic Design tool generates a complete, content-filled presentation draft from a single text prompt — handling layout, formatting, and slide structure automatically. The Canva AI Guided Presentations feature takes this further by walking users through a conversational flow to outline goals, refine the narrative, and organize ideas before generating slides. Users can also import existing files — including PowerPoint (.pptx/.ppt), PDF, PSD, and Google Slides — and convert them into editable Canva designs with no need to start from scratch. **Design & Content Tools** The drag-and-drop editor gives access to a media library of over 100 million searchable photos, illustrations, fonts, videos, and soundtracks. Built-in charts and graphs tools support bar, line, pie, doughnut, radar, area, hierarchy, and statistical chart types, as well as advanced Flourish-powered data visualizations including dot plots, heatmaps, animated bar races, sunbursts, treemaps, and word clouds. Canva Sheets data can be connected directly to presentations for live data storytelling. AI writing assistant Magic Write™ helps draft, reword, summarize, expand, and translate slide content into over 100 languages. Magic Animate adds motion to slides in one click, while Magic Media and Dream Lab generate AI images and visuals on demand. Canva Code can generate interactive widgets, mini-games, and calculators embedded directly in slides — no coding required. Brand Kit support ensures every slide stays on-brand with consistent fonts, colors, and logos. **Collaboration** Real-time multi-user editing, comments, and task assignments allow teams to co-create presentations from anywhere. Any slide can be expanded into an infinite Canva Whiteboard for open-ended brainstorming without switching tools. Page-specific sharing links let teammates jump directly to a relevant slide for targeted feedback. **Presenting** Canva Presentations includes a full suite of presenter tools. Presenter View displays speaker notes, a timer, and upcoming slide previews on a separate screen. Remote Control lets multiple presenters navigate slides from any device via a shared link. Offline Presenting Mode ensures flawless delivery even without an internet connection. Magic Shortcuts add live audience effects — drumrolls, confetti, curtain reveals, and mic-drop animations — triggered by keyboard or remote. Canva Live enables real-time audience Q&A, emoji reactions, polls, and quizzes via a simple 6-digit code, with no app installation required. On-Click Animations let presenters control when elements appear on screen. The Draw in Present mode allows live annotation directly on slides during delivery. Users can also record themselves and their screen (via webcam or the Desktop Screen Recorder) to create asynchronous Talking Presentations shareable as video links or MP4 files. **Sharing & Export** Completed presentations can be exported as PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF, PNG, JPEG, MP4 video slideshow, or published as a Canva website. Designs can be shared via link, embedded in blogs or websites, or posted directly to social media. Page-specific embeds allow individual slides to be displayed within other documents or designs.
Canva Print
Canva PrintCanva Print is a professional print-on-demand service integrated directly into the Canva design platform, enabling users to design and order a wide variety of printed products without ever leaving the Canva editor. It bridges the gap between digital design and physical print, allowing individuals, small businesses, non-profits, and enterprises to go from creative concept to delivered product in just a few clicks. At its core, Canva Print lets users select from an extensive catalog of over 131 print products — spanning marketing materials, stationery, apparel, gifting, signage, and more. The product range includes business cards, flyers, posters, postcards, invitations, stickers, banners, retractable banners, tote bags, t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, notebooks, notepads, booklets, magazines, canvas prints, yard signs, and many others. Availability varies by region, covering North America (US and Canada), Europe and the UK, Asia, and Central and South America. The workflow is seamless: users start from one of Canva's library of over 250,000 customizable templates — or from a blank canvas — and design directly in the Canva editor. Once the design is complete, they click "Print with Canva" to initiate the order process. Users can select print specifications such as paper type, finish, size, color, and quantity, then proof their design using Canva's Automated Proofing tool before checking out. Automated Proofing is a standout feature that checks designs for common print errors with a single click — verifying text size, ensuring elements are within the bleed zone, and confirming that image resolution is pixel-perfect. Users can also toggle on "Automagically fix" for instant corrections. This eliminates the guesswork typically associated with preparing files for professional printing. Canva Print also supports printing multiple design versions as sets, allowing users to print up to 30 versions of a design with the same product specifications in a single order. Bulk discounts are automatically applied for larger quantities. Delivery options are flexible: Canva Print offers free standard shipping in all countries where it operates, as well as express delivery. In the United States, in-store pickup is available at FedEx Office locations, and in Canada, pickup is available at Staples stores. Every order is backed by Canva's Happiness Guarantee — if a customer is not satisfied, Canva will refund, reprint, or offer a coupon. Canva Print is committed to sustainability. All products are made-to-order to minimize waste, and Canva partners with local printers around the globe to reduce shipping distances. Through its "One Print, One Tree" program, every print order results in a tree being planted, supporting biodiversity, wildlife restoration, and regenerative agriculture. Additional design tools that enhance the Canva Print experience include the Background Remover (one-click background removal for print-ready photos), Magic Layers (turning flat designs into editable layouts), Brand Kit (keeping designs on-brand with saved logos, colors, and fonts), and Magic Switch (instantly resizing designs to fit different print formats). These tools are available to Canva Pro subscribers and help streamline the design-to-print workflow for professional results. Canva Print is accessible via desktop browser and the Canva mobile app on Android and iOS, making it easy to design and order prints from virtually anywhere.
Canva Video
Canva VideoCanva Video is a comprehensive, browser-based video creation and editing platform built into Canva's visual communications suite. Designed to make professional-quality video accessible to everyone — from individual content creators and social media managers to collaborative business teams — Canva Video removes the traditional barriers of complex software, expensive equipment, and steep learning curves. At its core, Canva Video features a multi-track timeline editor that allows users to layer videos, audio, and graphics on separate tracks, trim and split clips with precision, and sync audio visually using waveform displays. The interface evolved from a scene-based approach (familiar to anyone who has built a presentation) into a full-featured video editor, giving users both simplicity and professional-grade control. AI-powered tools are central to the Canva Video experience. Magic Video automatically assembles polished, social-ready videos from uploaded footage — applying smart cuts, transitions, synced audio, and layout — in just a few clicks. The AI Highlights tool analyzes footage to identify and extract the best moments for short-form sharing. Enhance Voice removes background noise from recordings to deliver studio-quality audio. Magic Animate applies animations and transitions across an entire video in one click. Magic Media's text-to-video feature generates high-quality video assets from written prompts, powered by Google's Veo 3 model, producing up to 8-second cinematic clips with synchronized dialogue, sound design, and music. Canva Video also includes a one-click Video Background Remover that isolates subjects without a green screen, making it easy to replace backgrounds with any visual or template. Beat Sync automatically aligns video clips to the beat of a chosen music track. The platform's music library (available to Canva Pro subscribers) offers over 1.5 million royalty-free tracks, with additional professional cinematic footage and curated music available through an Artlist integration. Customizable, branded captions can be auto-generated and styled with brand fonts and colors, improving both accessibility and brand consistency. The Video Enhancer lets users adjust brightness, contrast, color vibrancy, white balance, tint, and saturation in real time. Animation effects, filters, transitions, motion paths, and custom text animations give creators full control over the visual style of their videos. Canva Video supports in-app screen and camera recording, enabling users to record voiceovers, tutorials, and video messages without leaving the platform. Magic Resize (Pro) allows instant reformatting of videos for different social platforms and aspect ratios. The Image to Video feature turns static images into five-second AI-generated video clips. Collaboration is built in: teams can share a link, assign tasks, leave comments, and edit simultaneously in real time across desktop, mobile (iOS and Android), and web. All projects are stored in the cloud with 5 GB of free storage, accessible from any device. Finished videos can be exported as high-resolution MP4 files or GIFs, or published directly from the editor to major social platforms. Canva Video supports a wide range of upload formats including MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, WMV, FLV, M4V, MPG, and MPEG.
Canva Websites
Canva WebsitesCanva Websites is a no-code website builder integrated directly into the Canva design platform, enabling individuals, teams, businesses, and educators to create, publish, and manage professional, responsive websites without any coding or web development experience. Launched in 2022, Canva Websites has powered the creation of more than 89 million websites, serving a wide range of use cases—from small business landing pages and digital menus to personal portfolios, event pages, internal resource hubs, classroom sites, and bio link pages. At its core, Canva Websites leverages Canva's familiar drag-and-drop editor, allowing users to place images, text, graphics, illustrations, videos, and animations onto their site with ease. Users can start from one of thousands of professionally designed, fully customizable website templates—covering categories such as portfolios, restaurants, education, freelancers, beauty, fashion, and more—or build entirely from scratch. All templates are mobile-responsive, ensuring websites look great on any device, including desktop, tablet, and mobile. Canva Websites supports both one-page and multi-page website layouts. One-page formats are ideal for landing pages, event pages, newsletters, portfolios, and bio link sites, while multi-page websites (supporting up to 45 pages and 20 sections per page on paid plans) allow for more complex, structured content. Users can add navigation menus, link between pages, and configure per-page SEO settings including custom URL paths, page titles, and meta descriptions. Publishing is built into the workflow: users can go live instantly on a free my.canva.site subdomain, purchase a custom domain directly within Canva (typically $10–$20/year), or connect an existing domain they already own. Free users can publish up to five websites; Canva Pro and Teams users get unlimited publishing. Every published Canva website includes SSL (HTTPS) certification. Paid domains additionally come with domain lock, WHOIS privacy protection, and email verification. For enterprise and team use cases, Canva Websites supports Single Sign-On (SSO) for publishing private, internal-only sites. Canva Websites includes a suite of AI-powered tools under the Magic Studio umbrella. Magic Write generates SEO-friendly page copy and descriptions in a click.

The Canva Apps Marketplace extends functionality with integrations including Magic Icons, Giphy, Image Upscaler, and more. Canva Websites is available to Canva Free, Pro, Teams, and Education users, making it accessible to a broad audience from individual creators to large organizations.
Canva Whiteboards
Canva WhiteboardsCanva Whiteboards is a free, AI-powered online whiteboard tool built into the Canva platform, designed to help individuals, teams, and educators brainstorm, collaborate, plan, and visualize ideas on an infinite digital canvas. First launched in 2022, Canva Whiteboards has evolved into a comprehensive visual collaboration workspace that combines the familiarity of the Canva editor with powerful real-time teamwork features. At its core, Canva Whiteboards provides an unlimited, infinite canvas where users can freely add and arrange content without spatial constraints. Whether wireframing a new product, building an org chart, mapping a customer journey, running a classroom lesson, or planning a personal event, the whiteboard adapts to virtually any use case. Users can start from a blank canvas or choose from hundreds of professionally designed templates covering flow charts, mind maps, wireframes, kanban boards, seating charts, mood boards, Gantt charts, SWOT analyses, UML diagrams, and more. Canva Whiteboards integrates deeply with the rest of the Canva ecosystem. Users can expand any existing Canva Presentation slide into a full whiteboard with a single click, and convert whiteboard content back into presentations, documents, or other design formats using Magic Resize. This seamless interoperability means teams can move from ideation to execution entirely within one platform. Collaboration is a central pillar of Canva Whiteboards. Multiple users can work simultaneously on the same board, with colorful real-time cursors showing exactly where each collaborator is and what they are adding. Team members can follow a specific collaborator's view across the canvas, leave comments, tag teammates with @mentions, and react to sticky notes with emoji reactions to vote on ideas. Sharing is straightforward — boards can be shared via link, and collaborators can join with or without a Canva account. AI-powered features elevate the brainstorming experience. The Sort feature automatically organizes sticky notes by color, author, reactions, or themes in a single click. A one-click Summarize feature digests the entire whiteboard — including stickies, flowcharts, and diagrams — to surface key insights and next steps. Canva AI can also help create and edit whiteboard pages directly. Workshop facilitation is supported by a built-in timer that syncs automatically across all collaborators, complete with alerts and optional music playlists to set the pace of sessions. The whiteboard panel provides quick access to sticky notes, graphics, shapes, lines, and Canva's library of over 100 million images, videos, and audio tracks. Drawing tools, customizable shapes, automatic connectors for diagrams and flowcharts, tables, text, and freehand sketching tools round out the creative toolkit. Users can also apply Brand Kits (fonts, colors, logos) for brand consistency, lock elements to prevent accidental edits, and access version history to restore previous states. Canva Whiteboards is available for free on web browsers, desktop apps, and mobile devices (iOS and Android), making it accessible wherever inspiration strikes. Premium graphics and additional Pro features are available on paid Canva plans. After a session, whiteboards can be exported as PDF or high-resolution PNG files, presented directly to an audience, or shared on social media.

"Effortless Design for Busy Minds"
4/5
What do you like best about Canva?

I mainly use Canva to make presentations, resumes, posters, and social media posts. I love that it saves me a lot of time because I can start with a template and change it however I want. The editor is simple to use, and I don't need any design skills to create something that looks good. The drag-and-drop editor makes designing simple, and there are plenty of templates to choose from for different types of projects. I appreciate that I can quickly resize designs, use icons and photos from the built-in library, and work on my designs from different devices without any hassle. The features I use the most are the ready-made templates, drag-and-drop editor, background remover, and the large collection of icons, photos, and fonts. I also like the Magic Resize feature because it saves time when I need the same design in different sizes. Auto-save is another feature I appreciate since I never have to worry about losing my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

One thing that could be improved is that many useful features are only available with the Pro plan, which can be expensive for students or occasional users. Sometimes the app also slows down when working on large or complex designs. I would also like to see more free templates and elements, along with better offline support for editing projects without an internet connection. The limited number of free templates and design elements means I sometimes spend extra time looking for alternatives or creating parts of a design from scratch. Occasionally I find a template I like, but key graphics or features are locked behind the Pro plan, so I have to change my design or look elsewhere. Another improvement I'd suggest is making the search feature more accurate so it's easier to find the right templates, icons, or photos without scrolling through so many results.

"Game-Changer for Design Simplicity"
5/5
What do you like best about Canva?

I love that Canva's pre-generated templates make it super easy for me to create anything from a flyer to a video. It's rare to find a tool that's truly as easy to use as people say, but Canva really is. It has made a huge difference in how I handle my work. I used to spend hours fiddling with margins and fonts, resulting in something that looked messy, but now I just grab a template and it's done. It's honestly been a lifesaver for my sanity. Also, setting it up was very easy—I just log in and select what I want to create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

I think it could have implemented AI in a better manner. But since I've been using it for a month only, I don't see major issues over there. So it's pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Canva Makes Clear Diagrams and Operator Leaflets Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Canva?

Canva is a huge lifesaver if you want to create simple illustrations and information imagery without having advanced design skills. I primarily use it to view technical diagrams, create my own diagrams, develop simple machinery illustrations, and prepare clear information leaflets for operators. It helps me communicate processes and equipment information in a way that's easy for my team to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

The only thing I would like to see improved is a larger collection of engineering and industrial graphics. For technical illustrations, I sometimes need to import custom elements instead of finding them directly in Canva. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Time-Saver for Presentations and Print-on-Demand—AI Makes Canva Even Better"
5/5
What do you like best about Canva?

My experience with Canva was excellent; it was the best solution for designing my university presentations and for my work on print-on-demand platforms. It was the easiest option because it saved me a great deal of time, and the integration of AI into Canva has made the experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

What I dislike most about Canva is that it has allowed people with no design experience to enter the field and create designs on a massive scale, leading to a fair amount of competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Canva: A Lifesaver for Non-Designers with Unmatched Templates and Collaboration"
5/5
What do you like best about Canva?

Honestly, Canva is a total lifesaver for non-designers. The variety of templates, fonts, and elements is unmatched, and the real-time collaboration features make working with teammates seamless. It streamlines our whole creative process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

While Canva is great for quick designs, the main downside is that many of the best templates, elements, and stock photos are locked behind the Pro paywall. It can also feel restrictive if you need precise photo editing or vector manipulation, as it lacks the advanced control found in dedicated software like Adobe Creative Cloud.

"The Best Design Tools for Sharing Materials in the Teacher Community"
5/5
What do you like best about Canva?

As a math teacher and community organizer for teachers, Canva is very helpful for us in creating infographic formulas, presentation materials, and engaging student worksheets. Its best feature is the ability to share template links; I just share one link and other teachers in the community can immediately copy and edit it according to their class needs. Its integration with Google Classroom is also excellent because I can directly share design materials to the class without the hassle of downloading and re-uploading. The app is very lightweight, accessible via phone or laptop, and syncs instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

Sometimes the folder and file management system feels a bit messy when we have stored hundreds of educational material designs in one teacher community account. As a result, searching for old templates that were previously created takes extra time if they are not named very specifically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Design Tool with Incredible AI Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Canva?

I really like Canva for its ease of use and versatility. It's super intuitive, even for non-designers, and it has tons of templates and tools that make creating visuals a breeze. The AI-powered features like Magic Write and Resize are game-changers for productivity. I also appreciate the collaboration features that make team projects easier. Setting up Canva is straightforward, and the drag-and-drop interface makes design accessible. It plays well with lots of other tools and is great for quick, professional visuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

Some users feel Canva could improve on: Design flexibility: Sometimes templates feel restrictive for advanced customizations. File management: Organizing and finding old designs can get messy. Cost: Premium features and templates can get pricey for small businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Canva Pro’s Background Remover Is the Best"
4/5
What do you like best about Canva?

I have Canva Pro and I find the background remover feature the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

I don't know what happened recently, but the video editor on Canva has become so painful to use. You have to move every single element of a video instead of all at once, and its become incredibly slow and frustrating. I also find moving elements quite difficult, and wish that the middle points of a design were easier to locate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canva?

I love the ability to be creative with Canva and create things for my business that are originally mine. The ease of taking ideas from Copilot and creating products and tools for my clients is a big plus. I can't just choose one but if I had to, the Canva AI stands out. I enjoy how I can copy things from Copilot and drop them into Canva AI, which creates my ideas in an instant. Also, the initial setup was very easy, and I've been with Canva for over 2 years, paying monthly for the premium subscription, which suits my needs perfectly.

What do you dislike about Canva?

It's improving with more use, but I would love for it to have more content creative things for psychotherapists without limiting our creativity as we know some things have to be censored and ethical. Because of the sensitivity of mental health topics, it would say it is unable to create cover or picture due to the sensitivity of some topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canva?

What I like most about Canva is how smoothly it lets our marketing team collaborate on visual content. The drag-and-drop interface, along with shared brand kits, saves us hours every week. It also makes it easy for everyone—no matter their design experience—to create high-quality graphics quickly while keeping everything consistently and strictly on-brand.
