Create vibrant art work, docs, posters, and more
Canva is one of the most useful art and design apps on the iPad, thanks to its ease of use and sheer flexibility. Available for free or with a Premium subscription for $12.99/month or $119.99/year for more elements, Canva is the perfect app to create artwork, posters, documents, and more.
Usually, design apps offer limited services on the free tier, but Canva is genuinely useful without forking out for a Premium membership. The platform is not only one of the best apps on iPad but also one of the best apps on any Apple device, and all of your projects will transfer between your products.
If you’re looking for an app to start making designs for your small business or create artwork in your spare time, Canva is the perfect companion to unleash your creativity. This tutorial will teach you some of the application’s most basic tools, including removing the background from an image with the click of a button or using a template to create a presentation slide or Instagram post.
How to get started on Canva
Select one of the icons on the home screen, such as Social Media, Docs, Presentations, and more, to explore recommended templates. If you are looking for something more specific, like a greeting card or an invitation, then use the search bar to find your desired format.
Once you open a Canva, you can choose to start from a blank space or a pre-existing template. To select a template, choose from the list or use the search bar to describe what style you are looking for. Pick your favorite and start editing.
Use the sidebar on the left-hand side to add elements, choosing from graphics, stock imagery, text, and pictures from your camera roll. Note some of these elements will be only available with a premium membership, but the free catalog is quite substantial and perfect to get you started.
