Hello,
Is there any ethical (Privacy focused) alternative to Canva ?
Edit : Especially for slides creation :)
As Canva is sharing your data and is going to stock exchange this year, I feel very urgent to move out of this service.
Best, H
For slides you can use Impress or Reveal.js
markdown > pandoc > reveal.js is easy, depends on what you’re doing graphics-wise in your slides
(I use LaTeX Beamer slides made with pandoc, but they’re not flashy)
Another option could be Inkscape which can make multipage documents. You can even animate them using jessyink.
An added benefit of moving away from Canva will be the colourspace. Canva doesn’t use CMYK (might have upgraded since the last time I checked). Making your slides with other software will make them print using the right colours.
If it’s a local tool, there’s libreoffice impress.
There’s also their online version, though it seems more IT focused.
Depends on what aspects of Canva you speak of.
- Graphics manipulation, a la Photoshop - GIMP
- Generative AI graphics - There is no ethical alternative
- Printing (t-shirts, posters, etc) - There are many out there, but you will have to create your design in GIMP first.
Indeed to be more specific : slides creation
Slides like a presentation? LibreOffice Impress.
Dear H,
GIMP is a private and ethical (free) alternative to Canva.
Love, U
