I use Canva a fair bit for work, is there anything similar that’s more privacy friendly? I don’t always want to open up Gimp, ideally it’ll be available online as well.

A self-hosted or desktop Canva would be cool indeed.

There's https://www.photopea.com/ that is very good and https://framagit.org/aktivisda/aktivisda that I've never used.

Photopea might be what I’m looking for. I’ll have a look on my PC tomorrow morning

I'd be interested to hear too as I've been using Canva for a while now as it's pretty slick and quick for what I do. I really wish Gimp would get a bit slicker with its UI. When I struggle to find a tool I want to use something else.

I don't know much about this space, so I'm not certain this kind of tool is what you're looking for but I know of https://penpot.app/.

Isn't that more like a Figma? Made for App and Web design?

Just had a Quick Look on mobile and this seems to be more like a Figma alternative (still very used to know though). Canva is more like a online (and simplified) Gimp/Photoshop alternative.

There's also Lunacy but it's also closer to figma

I usually keep a pirated older version of Photoshop around. There are versions that will run off a thumb drive.
