Sizewright vs Canva
Canva is a design tool for almost anything you make, with Magic Resize to turn a design into other sizes. Sizewright does one thing: it composes complete banner campaigns, every size laid out for its shape and packaged for ad platforms.

Which is the better choice.
Where Canva is the better choice
- You design far more than banners: presentations, documents, social posts and print, all in one tool.
- You place every element yourself, so any layout you can imagine is possible.
- You want a public API and Bulk Create to build your own automation around your designs.
Where Sizewright is the better choice
- Every size is composed from a layout made for its shape and checked before you see it, instead of resized from one design.
- You need HTML5 banners with the clickTag your ad server reads, packaged for Google Ads, CM360, Adform or Xandr.
- You start from a brief, not a blank page: four concepts with copy, layout and imagery, written in up to twelve languages.

Moving to Sizewright
- Keep your logo files and note the colors and fonts in your Canva Brand Kit, or let Sizewright read them from your website.

- Start with the sizes your ad platforms ask for; ready-made bundles pick them in one click.
Questions, answered.
Can I import my Canva designs?
No. Sizewright builds banners from your brand kit and a brief, not from existing design files. Bring your logo, colors and fonts, or just your website address.
Can I use both?
Yes. Sizewright only needs your logo, colors and fonts, wherever you keep them, and its exports go straight to your ad platforms.
Does Sizewright have a free plan?
No. Signing up is free and every new workspace has a sample campaign to explore; making your own banners uses credits from a plan or a credit pack.
