# visualize or Canva?

> Choose between agent-created visual HTML and a template-rich drag-and-drop design platform.

## The difference

Canva offers a visual editor, presentation templates, stock media, shared brand templates, animation, recording, link sharing, and AI-assisted first drafts. [Canva's AI presentation maker](https://www.canva.com/create/ai-presentations/) describes generating an editable presentation from a prompt. This source may block automated link checks and is manually verified during the monthly review.

visualize has no canvas or asset library. Your agent creates a self-contained HTML document from the context it already has, using project brand files when available.

| Capability      | visualize                     | Canva                       |
| --------------- | ----------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| Working surface | Agent and local HTML source   | Hosted visual canvas        |
| Brand direction | Reviewable project files      | Brand templates and kits    |
| Media library   | None built in                 | Large integrated library    |
| AI presentation | Agent authors portable HTML   | Prompt to editable canvas   |
| Best fit        | Context-rich visual documents | Hands-on visual composition |

## Choose visualize when

- source context and visual output should stay in one agent workflow;
- the deliverable is interactive HTML rather than an editor-owned design;
- you want the skill and resulting file to be inspectable; or
- repeated project direction matters more than browsing templates.

## Choose Canva when

Choose Canva when you want hands-on composition, a large built-in media collection, established templates, or teammates editing on a shared visual canvas.
