The best free and open source alternative to Canva for design
Canva is one of the best sites that has made design much easier without the need to use complex programs such as Photoshop by merging images, installing stickers, dragging and dropping elements, and adding effects with ease, but it is not completely free and you must purchase the paid version to get all the tools, so in this post we will learn about a free alternative to Canva.
Polotno Studio website provides a free and open source service through which you can implement graphic designs and advertising posters in a professional manner and without experience in the field of image design, as the site relies on merging and assembling ready-made images and backgrounds as well as posters and dragging and dropping elements within the design with the possibility of writing on them.
Enter the site from the link below the post and you will get this interface. From the left, you can add ready-made elements to the workspace such as images, posters, backgrounds and texts, or you can upload them from your device from the Upload option
Any element can be modified by resizing, moving, flipping, changing its colors, adding effects and filters to it from Effects, changing transparency from Transparency, and more.
After completing the design, click on the Download button to download the design as a PNG image or PDF file.
From the Save button you can save the design as a json file for later modification.
The beauty of the site is that it allows you to use images from the famous Unsplash site for images and backgrounds.
