MARVIA VS CANVA

When your brand needs more than just a design tool

While Canva excels at individual design freedom, multi-location brands and franchises choose Marvia to solve their unique local marketing challenges.

Brands with distributed teams get:

The ability to turn any InDesign file into a brand template
Automated campaign distribution across all channels and locations
Marketing coordination tools like a calendar and creative request system
