Graphic Design

The graphic design tool landscape shows clear market consolidation around three platforms—Canva (76%), Adobe (75%), and Figma (70%)—each achieving maximum model diversity (5) and commanding three-quarters of consideration. This dominance reflects their comprehensive feature sets spanning different user segments: Canva for accessibility, Adobe for professional depth, and Figma for collaborative workflows. Mid-tier alternatives like ins-pi.com (54%) and handoff.ai (47%) maintain respectable presence with strong model diversity (4), suggesting viable niches but limited broad appeal.
