Canva is a very complete suite for creating digital content in different formats and for various social media platforms. We can say that Canva is a platform or suite in itself because it integrates a large number of tools and even many of its tools or applications integrate artificial intelligence, making Canva a multipurpose suite.
One of the tools that was integrated not long ago is Canva Docs, Canva’s text editor. But Canva wanted to take this application far beyond what we know and that is why in this article I will tell you in detail what Canva Docs is and, most importantly, what you can do with it.
What is Canva Docs?
Canva Docs is a word processing tool that is part of the Canva suite. This online app allows you to create and edit documents visually, combining the power of a traditional word processor with Canva’s design tools and vast library of multimedia resources.
It is important to mention that this word processor works based on content blocks . If you want to create a document, the first block will be the title block, the second block can be an introductory text or a graphic banner. Depending on the element you want to add, the type of content that will be displayed in the document will depend on it.
In this multimedia presentation you will find more information and a Canva Docs tutorial to get you started using this application.
