La vraie différence
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Canva stands out with Drag-and-drop editor and Brand kit. Penpot counters with Open source and self-hostable and SVG-native design.
Canva's Achilles heel: not a real design tool — no vector editing, no prototyping, and exports aren't production-grade for print. Penpot's: still catching up to figma on polish and plugin ecosystem — feels rough around the edges. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Le verdict
If you value drag-and-drop editor and les non-designers qui ont, go with Canva. If les défenseurs de l'open-source matters more, Penpot is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
