Canva also obtained a smart mockup, a generator that enables you to recreate a realistic design, for flyers, T-shirts, mugs, books, magazines, and many more. The graphic design company obtained two of the world’s biggest unrestricted stock content sites Pexels and Pixabay in 2019, which only further enhanced its archive stock.
