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.
Snappa
Snappa is a browser-based graphic design tool aimed at marketers, bloggers, and content creators who need social media images, thumbnails, and ad graphics without a design background. It offers preset canvas sizes, a stock photo library, and a template collection covering most common formats. The editor is simpler than Canva, which suits users who want fewer decisions, but that simplicity also means less flexibility for complex layouts.
