Canva is a design tool that helps you create for images Web or print, including blog graphics, presentations, Facebook covers, flyers, posters, and more.
- It's free online (while certain images and graphics require payment, there are hundreds of free options)
- You can record video and edit video, and create screencasts to download or share.
- You can work collaboratively, sharing and editing your designs with a classmate or teacher.
- There are dozens of pre-set templates, icons, and images to start you off, or you can create from scratch, and upload your own images to customize.
- When you're finished you can publish the images online or download them to print or use in other projects.

- If you want to print as a poster, we recommend you download as a .pdf, then open using Adobe Reader. When you go to print from Adobe Reader , select "Poster" under Page sizing & handling. 100% size will print on 6 pieces of regular sized paper (8.5"x11"). 80% size will print on 4 pieces. You will need to trim the white margins and then tape them together on a poster board. The library has a paper cutter if you need it, but no color printer!
- If you are using a Chromebook or don't have access to Adobe Reader, recommend you download as a .pdf, then upload to a block poster printing site like blockposters.com, use the site to carve up your poster across multipe sheets of 8.5"x11" paper, then download the multi-page poster. You will need to trim the white margins and then tape them together on a poster board. The library has a paper cutter if you need it, but no color printer!
