I really enjoy it. I can't recommend this enough since it's been helping me for many years since i was a student and now not only professionaly but for personal use it's been great to still have access to it

Pros

Honestly Canva has been a life saver for me. I'm impressed with all the amazing features it provides. Personally, what i love the most is that it keeps showing you elements that you might like based on the ones you've been using in your project and since it has so many different options, it helps bringing out your creativity. The options are endless and that's what i like the most, i love the quality of Canva and how i can create something as special as an invitation or a vision board, really everything i can think of.

Cons

So far so good. I don't have a complain about it. I've enjoyed using it for many years, mostly in the last year and i'm surprised with the features that were added for us to create anything we want

I love canva, it works in the way my brain works and I love the drag and drop changes you can make. Making social posts is a breeze.

Pros

It's really easy to use for someone with little graphic design experience. I love how I can easily create templates for social media posts. I also like how you can export files as different qualities and sizes so they can fit our website design. The AI tools are interesting and are good for removing text.

Cons

I can't import fonts individually to my own user, they have to be part of the company design profile. Obviously you need wifi to use, so using canva on a slow internet connection is pretty hard.

Amazing, I have made some incredible designs and because of the new tools and developments within the software that they continuously build on, my work over the last few years has only gotten better and better!

Pros

The versatility, hands down. I am always saying to people that "I can do that in Canva" because it literally offers such a diverse set of design options with completely customizable content and amazing starting templates.

Cons

Honestly the only thing that annoys me when working within canva is how my files are organized. I have to dig and dig and dig sometimes to find a file. However, I must say that if I would have been smart, I would have labelled all my files with specific searchable titles and created folders for the various different projects I worked on. It does offer the tools for organization, so this con is probably more user error and lack of thinking ahead. I plan to reorganize it all one day but it will be a daunting task. Luckily Canva saves me time!

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Photoshop

Reasons for Switching to Canva

Because I am a small business owner, not a graphic designer and many other options are way more expensive and require much more designer knowledge and know how.

ave used Canva to create presentations both in a school setting as a teacher and in a professional context as a consultant. Even when I passed the exam to become a teacher, I chose to use Canva for the slides I had to prepare. I was able to create presentations quickly.

Pros

I have used Canva for presentations both in a professional setting and in a school environment, as I also work as a teacher. I appreciated its ease of use, the ability to work with pre-made templates, and how easy it is to find charts and icons. The high level of customization, which allows you to adjust templates quickly and easily, makes it a very useful tool. I was able to create high-quality presentations in a short amount of time.

Cons

What I liked less is that many features are only available with the Pro version, which requires a paid subscription. However, the cost is reasonable. Some tools are not entirely intuitive to edit, but nothing too problematic.

I started using Canva a few years ago and the more I used it. The more I loved it. It is user friendly and the user interface specifically designed for Educators has been a game changer in my classroom.

Pros

I love the templates and how user friendly they are. I also love the fact that I can use someone's template and then customise it making it my own.

Even more important is that as an educator I can upload my lesson plans and other resources using the app and add my students to my account, so we can all work on the same project at the same time. It is very efficient and my students love it.

Cons

Some of the AI features are not as great as I would like them to be, but I am hoping that improvements will be made as they go along and continue to add new features to the site.

Canva seems to be an excellent tool that provides a seamless design experience to the users through intuitive tools, a large variety of templates, and flexibility, making it perfect both for personal as well as professionally oriented projects.

Pros

Impressively user-friendly interface, vast template library, and excellent options for full-fledged customization. Canva will easily make graphic design approachable for even the most novice amateurs, but the advanced features found here make it perfect for professionals. Great tool for creative projects!

Cons

It doesn't cost anything, but the free version is limited because you'll have less access to those premium templates. Sometimes collaboration tools are clunky, but the app sometimes lags behind for complicated designs.

Very positive. Upgrading to Pro was a no-brainer. I'm a customer for life!

Pros

Ease of use. The interface is user-friendly, there are tons of stock photos, something for every need. The templates are beautiful and I can always find something to fit my style and branding. I can upload my own images and add Canva elements to enhance the images. I can create reels, gifs, and mp4's. Canva has pre-loaded image dimensions, so I can easily resize my projects without having to start from scratch.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is how easy it is to spend hours exploring and creating images, lol! I'm not really sure that's a negative.
I personally need to make better use of the folders for organization.

Canva saves time and money, I can quickly create advertising and edit photos for a
listing. I can share the project link with coworkers.
Canva is good for our company!

Pros

Canva gives me quick access to custom templates, images, documents, presentations, video, AI generation, GIF, and more.
Brand kits save our company colors, logo, and images which I can apply to a template with one tap. I can use the business category to find appropriate templates in any size/orientation. If I dont like part of the template I can change or remove it easily. Canva will provide similar options I can replace it with or I can search with my own criteria. Magic Grab or Magic Erase can isolate one part of an image when cropping isn't sufficient.
Canva now has Dream Lab which can generate an image, text, or even music based on a description. It only takes a few seconds and I get multiple results.
All projects are saved, convenient if I need to add updates or make corrections. I can also resize any project in a few seconds.
I can save projects in any format and with my subscription I can download as many times as I need, saving money if I were to need a PDF and JPEG copy for example.

Cons

Sometimes when I upload a photo and use it in a frame, the photo doesn't fit the way I'd like. There is an option to detach the image and adjust, but I wind up with the same result (even with large images).
When adjusting the size of a photo if I drag the wrong side part of the photo is cut off. I like that I can crop photos, but that process and simply adjusting the overall size should be separate.

Overall, it's an easy platform designed to bang out fairly simple designs. It lacks a lot of options educated professional graphic designers need to create high quality content. But for those without any design experience I think it's great.

Pros

I think Canva is a great platform is constantly increasing their apps library and it allows the non-designer to quickly create assets for their business. For the educated designer Canva offers the chance to create assets to sell and share to clients that aren't very design savvy. It's come a long way since it's conception and I think we'll always use it in some capacity.

Cons

The design options are limited for the educated designer and you're dependent on the internet to use it. This platform is aimed at uneducated designers. For educated designers it lacks the high quality design options that other design platforms have.

Overall we're incredibly happy with Canva as a marketing tool. It allows for great collaboration across product, support and sales, and allows us to create unified and branded content that reaches our target audience.

Pros

Everything. As someone with little marketing experience, in a very brand centric industry, it's made it incredibly easy for us to create customer facing content that is replicable, revenue generating, and support oriented. In very little time, we can create proposals, webinar content, presentations, white papers, social media content and more from one easy to use platform.

Cons

It could be easier to search for help, or ways to actually use the platform initially. There are some tutorials on line of course, but if there was an in-app search/chat/request box, it might speed up some of our more complex marketing needs.

I've been using Canva for about four years. When I started, I was pretty clueless about graphic design and didn't have much skill. At this point, I use Canva at least once a week - sometimes much more than that - and am proficient and skilled, and can make professional looking ads, letterheads, invoices, postcards, graphics, presentations, videos - you name it!

Pros

Canva offers an abundance of options for templates, or allows you to create from scratch in any size, format, or medium you could ask for.

Cons

I am sometimes frustrated when elements are automatically aligned to other objects when I do not want them to be. This limits your control of placement or sizing in some circumstances.

Overall, Canva is a fantastic tool for anyone who needs quick, high-quality designs or video edits. The templates are extensive and the platform is user-friendly, making it great for both casual and professional projects. It’s become a go-to tool for me in both personal and academic settings. I highly recommend it!

Pros

use Canva daily to edit videos for my Instagram reels and create class assignments. One of the things I like most about Canva is its ease of use and wide variety of templates. It’s super convenient for video editing, and the templates for different projects (like the Journey Map template I recently used) make everything so much faster and easier to complete.

Cons

While Canva is excellent overall, I wish it had more advanced features, especially for video editing. For example, I couldn’t find a typewriter effect for text, which would be useful. Also, when it comes to highlighting text, Canva’s options feel more limited compared to other platforms like PicsArt or MS, which offer more variety in text effects and highlights.

Canva is simply the best!

Reviewed on 17/7/2024

Pros

Canva is everything a company or organization needs to create incredible documents, promotional materials, presentations, and branding. Also, Canva offers free pro accounts for non-profit organizations that fit the criteria. This is an incredible "pro" for non-profits who have to be budget minded.

Cons

No real "cons" to note. Would love to see more stock photos available. Being a very specific non-profit, there are not a lot of stock photos that are directly applicable to our organization. However, this is a very minor con since we are a very specific non-profit/religious organization.
