Is Canva safe to use?

Short answer

Canva uploads your files to its servers.

When you use Canva, your documents are transmitted over the internet to third-party servers for processing. You are trusting their retention, security, and privacy policies with your data — and once a file is uploaded, you cannot verify what happens to it.

The private alternative

Brevio runs every tool entirely inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded — they never leave your device. No account, no server, no retention. You can verify it yourself in the browser network tab.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use Canva instead of Brevio?

Canva excels at design tasks requiring templates, brand kits, and team collaboration. Brevio is better for privacy-sensitive file processing, developer tools, and tasks requiring no account.

Can Brevio replace Canva?

For design work, no — Canva has a far larger template library and collaboration features. Brevio covers file utilities, developer tools, and basic design generation (thumbnails, banners, certificates).
