Comments and Reviews
Canva is the answer for those who need to design something quickly and throw something together without a hassle. It is extremely easy to use and design a variety of things, be it brochures, logos, images or even business cards. Unlike other graphic design programs out there, this one requires very little learning - which makes it a winner in my book. It's beauty lies in stripping all the complex tools and instructions to making something even a child in kindergarten can use.
Another "web app" that can't perform even a single task without making an account, or of course giving them one of your personal accounts from another site like google.
This is not appropriate, private or secure.
Users have option to use email and it's very clear in 2022 at this page: https://www.canva.com/signup.

Has an AI option
Canva has been a huge help in so many areas of my life! I’ve used it to create everything from Valentine’s and birthday cards to professional presentations for work. The templates are beautiful, easy to customize, and save me so much time.
Versatile and has many, many, many features that you wouldn't even think of. Creating on Canva is limitless.
Canva is an excellent tool for those seeking straightforward access to illustrations while being able to create designs instantly. However, one significant drawback is the absence of a layering system that allows users to manage and distinguish between different layers. Additionally, many illustrations are locked behind a hefty monthly or yearly subscription fee, which can be quite steep.
