With thousands of templates and unlimited ways to customise them, the App Store Award–winning app Canva lets anyone create beautifully designed party invites, social media stories, presentations, CVs, wallpapers and more.

What we love: How easy Canva’s tools are to use. Click any element to resize it, rotate it, change the colour or font, or animate it. Plus, the Snap to Grid feature and the Nudge tool (our favourite) make designing a pleasure.

Quick tip: Tap into the power of AI with Magic Studio. With this suite of tools, simply type what you need – Canva will create original images and videos, animate a visual element of your work or write captions.

Meet the creator: CEO Melanie Perkins came up with the idea for Canva as a 19-year-old student at the University of Western Australia. Nearly two decades later, Canva helps more than 100 million people every month.
