What is Canva?
Canva combines design workflows with AI features. Its free AI usage is drawn from a shared monthly allowance, so a quoted number of uses is not a separate quota for every tool. More complex requests and more demanding tools can consume that allowance faster. This distinction matters when planning a project that uses several AI features. Third-party apps inside Canva can also have their own subscriptions or limits, separate from Canva’s documented allowance.
