What they are

Canva

Canva is a browser-based graphic design tool that covers social media graphics, presentations, video clips, thumbnails, and more through a template-driven editor. It is used by solo creators, small teams, and marketers who need to produce visual content quickly without hiring a designer. The free tier is genuinely useful, though the most polished templates and brand-kit features sit behind the Pro paywall.

Leonardo AI

Leonardo AI is a browser-based image generation platform that produces high-quality visuals using a range of fine-tuned models, including its own proprietary ones. It is used by game developers, illustrators, and content creators who need consistent characters, concept art, or marketing assets at scale. The platform offers more model control than most consumer tools, though the credit system can feel restrictive on the free tier.
