Canva is one of the most popular web tools for creating images for social media, invitations and more. In fact, it's even used by Twitch streamers to create graphics for their gaming channels. But if you are tired of using Canva or find it limiting, there are many Canva alternatives you can use. So here are 7 Canva alternatives (free and paid) you should check out.

AI is everywhere these days, including in Canva. However, Microsoft's new AI-powered Canva alternative is definitely one of the best tools you can use. With Microsoft Designer, you can start your design by simply typing in what you need. So you can write things like "an invitation card to a birthday party" and it will generate a bunch of templates that you can then customize to your heart's content. In fact, you can get an even better head start by providing more detail in your prompt. Type something like "an invitation card for Akshay's birthday party on 23rd May, 8 PM" and the generated card will have that information already included.

You can also use Microsoft Designer to create YouTube thumbnails or Instagram stories. In fact, if you mention "thumbnail for YouTube" or "an Instagram Story" in the prompt, it usually adjusts the aspect ratio accordingly on its own so you don't have to worry about setting the correct dimensions manually. Pros Easy to use Can sometimes create drafts that aren't quite accurate Prompts generate good quality templates
