Canva was founded in 2012 by Melanie Perkins, Cliff Obrecht, and Cameron Adams. The company is headquartered in Sydney, Australia.

As of January 2019, Canva had 30 million monthly active users. In June 2019, Canva announced that it had raised $85 million in Series D funding led by Sequoia China at a valuation of $1 billion.
