Easil

Niche player focused on brand-controlled design for teams and agencies

Easil was a cloud-based graphic design and brand management platform founded in Australia that focused on empowering teams to create professional marketing materials while maintaining brand consistency. The platform offered drag-and-drop design tools, customizable templates, and brand control features that allowed marketing teams, agencies, and small businesses to produce social media graphics, presentations, and other visual content without requiring professional design skills. Easil positioned itself as a solution for teams needing to scale content creation while ensuring brand compliance. The company operated in the creative technology and marketing technology space, competing with platforms like Canva, Adobe Express, and other template-based design tools. Easil differentiated itself through features focused on brand management and team collaboration, including brand kits, template locking, and approval workflows that appealed particularly to agencies and businesses with strict brand guidelines. In 2022, Easil was acquired by Canva, the global visual communication platform. Following the acquisition, Easil's technology and team were integrated into Canva's ecosystem, and the distinct Easil brand and platform were eventually sunset as its capabilities were absorbed into Canva's broader product offering.
