Canva

Online graphics editor

Canva is a web-based graphic design platform that lets users create visual content without professional design skills.

Templates for social media posts, presentations, posters, and other formats can be customized with drag-and-drop tools: I made the flyer in Canva.

The service operates on a freemium model, with basic features free and advanced tools requiring subscription.
