Frequently asked questions
Is Ridvay a free Canva alternative?
Yes. Ridvay is a free AI design tool you can use in the browser with no download. You describe what you want and Ridvay generates a complete, editable design — a strong free alternative to Canva for posters, social posts, flyers, slides and more.
What makes Ridvay different from Canva?
Ridvay is AI-first: instead of starting from a blank template, you type a prompt (or upload an ad to recreate) and get a finished, editable design in seconds. It also has a Brand Kit, reusable components, multi-page decks, and you can create and refine designs right inside a chat conversation.
Can Ridvay generate a design from a text prompt?
Yes. Describe the design — for example "a bold launch poster for a coffee shop, dark navy" — and Ridvay generates the layout, fonts, colours and copy as a fully editable design you can tweak, export or share.
Can I recreate an existing design or ad with Ridvay?
Yes. Upload an ad, poster or screenshot and Ridvay recreates it as an editable design you can change — handy for matching a style or refreshing an old graphic.
Does Ridvay support brand kits, multiple pages and exporting?
Yes. Save your colours, fonts and logo as a Brand Kit so designs come out on-brand, build multi-page decks, and export to PDF (all pages), PNG or SVG, or share a live link / embed.
Do I need to install anything to use Ridvay?
No. Ridvay runs in your browser and on mobile. Just open ridvay.com/studio and start designing — no install required.
Does Ridvay give me more than one design to choose from?
Yes. For a prompt Ridvay generates multiple takes — different layouts and styles for the same brief — so you pick the direction you like and refine it, instead of settling for the first result.
How does Ridvay pricing compare to Canva?
Ridvay is free to start, with AI design generation included in the free browser version. Canva has a free tier, but many of its AI and brand features are part of paid Canva Pro or Teams plans, and Canva raised Teams pricing significantly in 2024. With Ridvay you can generate, edit and export designs without a subscription.
