Nov 5, 2024A: Not a silly question at all! I’d be happy to explain the main differences between Xtensio and Canva:
• Living Documents vs. Static Designs: Xtensio is built for “living documents” that can be shared, updated in real-time, embedded on websites, and accessed via unique links without needing to re-send files after edits. This makes Xtensio ideal for collaborative work, dynamic presentations, reports, and client-facing materials. Canva, on the other hand, focuses more on creating static design assets like social media posts, flyers, and traditional presentations.
• Modular Editor: Xtensio’s editor uses a modular approach, allowing you to drag and drop customizable sections like text boxes, images, icons, charts, and more. Each module is fully editable and resizes automatically. Canva has a more image-focused editor with design elements arranged on a traditional canvas.
• Brand Management and Style Guides: Xtensio provides options to create brand guidelines, reusable templates, and style guides, which makes it easier to keep consistent branding across all materials. This feature is particularly useful for agencies, educators, and teams that need to create multiple documents in the same style.
• Interactive and Embedded Content: With Xtensio, you can embed your documents directly into websites or use multimedia elements like audio or video players to create more interactive content, which can be challenging in Canva.
Xtensio and Canva each have their strengths, but Xtensio focuses on creating dynamic, shareable, and branded business documents. Let me know if you have more questions.
