What they are
Canva
Canva is a browser-based design tool with a large library of templates covering thumbnails, social media graphics, presentations, and short-form video. The free tier is genuinely usable; the Pro plan adds background removal, brand kits, and a content scheduler. Dominant in the creator space as a Photoshop alternative that requires no design training.
Loom
Loom is a video messaging tool that lets creators, teams, and educators record their screen, camera, or both and instantly share a link. It is widely used for async communication, product walkthroughs, and feedback on creative work. The free tier is genuinely usable, though video length limits and storage caps push most active users toward a paid plan fairly quickly.
