Canva Postcards for Web

Quick intro to Canva’s postcard tool

Canva Postcards is a free, web-based graphic editor inside the Canva platform that focuses on making postcard design simple and approachable. It’s part of Canva’s broader set of design utilities aimed at both personal and small-business users. The tool supplies ready-made layouts and design assets so anyone — even those new to design — can produce attractive postcards quickly.

Main capabilities at a glance

• Print production and delivery: order printed postcards in common sizes (A6 and A5) and have them mailed either to your address or directly to recipients — availability depends on your region.
• Ready-made layouts: choose from thousands of templates to jump-start a design.
• Team editing: invite collaborators to edit or review a project in real time.
• Asset library: access a large collection of stock photos, icons, and graphics to build a custom look from a blank canvas.
• Export and sharing: save your finished file or send it straight to friends and family from the app.
• Regional limits: note that on-demand printing and shipping services aren’t offered everywhere, so verify coverage before placing an order.

How to build and send a postcard

1. Pick a template or begin with a blank page.
2. Add images, icons, and text from the built-in library or upload your own files.
3. Collaborate with others if you want feedback or shared editing.
4. Save or export the design for later use; optionally use Canva’s print service to have physical postcards produced and shipped.

(If you plan to print, confirm that Canva’s printing fulfills to your country or postal area before finalizing the order.)

Alternatives to consider

• Pixlr — a browser-based image editor with a focus on photo adjustments.
• Fotor — a simple online editor geared toward quick retouching and collage creation.
• SketchUp Free — a 3D modeling option for layout and spatial mockups (useful in different design contexts).

Pros, cons, and recommendation

Pros
