Canva Reviews

Good Design Program For Beginners

Comments: Canva has been a great tool for our clients who have a design in mind and want to take a try at creating it to save on typesetting costs from us. We also use this internally for our own designs and social media and it makes scheduling a breeze.

Pros:

This is the best user-friendly design app I have come across. They are up-to-date with the latest features and integrations that I could ever want to implement. The software is also easy to share files between us and our customers in case we need to make any quick edits.

Cons:

The interface is beginning to get a bit cluttered and hard to find the commonly used tools that have now been rolled into other sections. You do have to have some design knowledge now to know what the name of the service or action you are looking for is.

Canva pro is user friendly and amazon tool for everyday use

Comments: Great. hands down one of the best programs that I use almost everyday

Pros:

Everything about this program. You can basically do anything with Canva pro that you can image with so many examples and ideas that they supply as well.

Cons:

Using the phone app can be difficult but it is still a great tool.

Universal Tool for Beginners

Comments: Overall, its great because so many people use it. Its a universal tool for beginners.

Pros:

Its easy to use for beginners and has lots of great features.

Cons:

Its a glitchy platform and file organzing is a mess.

Educational Necessity

Comments: 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 is better than photoshop

Comments: Overall, I like Canva way more than Photoshop.

Pros:

I like how much it has to offer and how it helps you bring your ideas to life

Cons:

I wish you could edit more on canva. You can’t really break down an image like you can on photoshop.

Easy design tool for everyone

Comments: Have used for design freelance projects as a paid member

Pros:

Can easily create assets using templates and don’t need much graphic design experience to make it look good

Cons:

Difficult to export assets as editable files for design and printing purposes

So Many Features, Some Frustrations

Comments: I have used it for design with some basic invites and other printables. I have enjoyed it when it works, but have been frustrated when it doesn't do what I want it to do - especially with "blank" documents where I need to do my own layout.

Pros:

I love the vast array of templates available.

Cons:

I really struggle to design something if I want to start from scratch. I wish the design tools were more intuitive. I consider myself very tech savvy, but it's really hard to navigate the tools to get it to do what you want it to do if there's not an existing template. It's also hard to know sometimes why certain features are free and some aren't. Specifically, the inability to resize the page on a free account is particularly annoying.

Empowering your imagination with endless possibilities.

Comments: Canva is a powerful and versatile graphic design platform that makes graphic design accessible to everyone. However, it's important to consider the potential limitations before committing to a paid subscription.

Pros:

Canva’s intuitive interface makes graphic design simple, even for beginners.

Cons:

Canva's free plan offers limited features compared to its paid subscriptions.

fantastic software for fast design

Comments: fantastic experience and chipper then other costly software for same work which are on doing on the same.

Pros:

good for designing, editing for picture and other graphics

Cons:

every option is such good, especially image editing tools are so easy to use.

The first visual tool

Pros:

Very easy to use. A lot of visual patterns

Cons:

you can create any type of graphics, even cards, presentations, etc.

You cannot run an online business without canva

Comments: It is one of my main work tools, it has helped me create daily posts for my social media and my clients, mobile websites, presentations, landing pages and so much more. I am in absolute love with canva!!!

Pros:

Everything, i love canva!!! Ive been using canva for me and my team since 2021 and i will continue to renew my subscription because what you get with canva is absolutely worth every single penny.

Cons:

Lack of tutorials on integrations and also hoe to leverage the various ai tools

Canva is a good all-in-one platform for social media posting but not for printing/higher quality creations

Comments: Overall, Canva is a great platform for people who have minimal skill in more professional softwares or who can't afford the higher price point of those products along with Stock subscriptions. Canva is an all-in-one platform and it's conveinent. If you're used to having complete control over document setup, color profiles, etc. You will find some frustrations with Canva.

Pros:

The templates and assets you can add like gifs, graphics, music, photos, videos, etc. are great. It's nice having access to all of that in one platform/subscription.

Cons:

The export quality. Despite selecting the highest quality exports, there is still some blur with certain images when posted on social media. Now this could be due to posting through Hootsuite, I'm not sure if there is compression happening, but I have noticed it even when not posting through Hootsuite. It's enough of an issue for us to leave Canva, just something I've noticed. Another thing I dislike, is that Canva is setup for RGB colorways, not CMYK, so if you're planning on printing the files, there will be a difference in color due to the color profile not being in CMYK. I also am proficient with Adobe programs, so use those for printing products/high quality documents, images, etc. And then use Canva for social media posts where high-quality isn't as important, and it's more helpful to have easy access to stock icons, graphics, etc.

Canva Review

Comments: I love this tool for brochures and spicing up images. It's easy to use and there is so much to chose from.

Pros:

The ability to use existing templates that are creative and diverse.

Cons:

When downloading an image, the quality is low unless you make it into a higher quality, which some people don't know how to do.

Canva review

Comments: The experience has been good overall. The video editing tools need some improvement.

Pros:

One, it is user friendly - I do not struggle to use it. Two, it has a very wide variety of templates, which are so usable and helpful. They are especially good for social media and for multimedia content creation.

Cons:

I cannot upload long videos to edit. I would like to add a lot of videos, like you can do in Adobe Premier.

My Take on Canva

Comments: My experience with Canva is very positive. I love everything about it, is very affordable and well worth every dime.

Pros:

There are several things I like about Canva. I have been using the software for many years, It has allowed me to create videos, images, adverts, gifts, business cards, flyers, postcards, t-shirts, etc. I love the ease of use and it is so wonderful how they are constantly adding more and more new updates and actively growing as a platform. They also provide a personal touch by having launch events, contests, and recognize their most active creators. I can safely say that Canva is on my short list of my favorite software.

Cons:

This can be considered a good problem to have, but, Canva has added so many new apps and features over the last couple years, I find it hard to keep up with all of it and can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming to get started learning new things to do when it comes to my designs. Also, the app can sometimes be a little clunky.

The Best Marketing Tool I Have

Comments: Canva has revolutionized marketing for me!

Pros:

Canva has all the features (and then some) of the desktop publishing software we used to have to purchase and is incredibly easy to use. I now exclusively use it for all my promotion needs, including photo editing.

Cons:

I'm not a fan of the new organization of projects, templates, etc. but it's nothing I can't overcome. I preferred to have all my current projects at the top of the queue.

Easy to use, cost-effective, fantastic customizations

Comments: Overall, my experience with Canva has been nothing short of life-changing. I use this platform daily and could not imagine working without it. It has completely streamlined my work process while allowing me to create with all of the customizations I need.

Pros:

Canva allows me the creative freedom to design a variety of assets, whether that be crafting content for social media posts, putting together booklets, creating posters or notecards, or brainstorming mood boards. It's extremely easy to use and learn to use. It's also very cost effective.

Cons:

Sometimes features are limited or certain editors (like brightness adjustments or background removers) can be a bit touchy.

Amazing affordable app

Pros:

I love that Canva has free version Available, and it almost gives you the full experience of canva, you can use it both on mobile and on a PC. it has a variety of pre-designed layouts and templates that you can use to save time and its suitable for all tastes, pictures and graphics quality is high. i love how it has AI tools which you can use in your designs , some of them can even create logos and different elements. you can use it for school presentation, to create videos and reels. It's really the all in one designing app.

Cons:

It's an online graphic design tool so if you don’t have Internet access, you won’t be able to use it. you can't download designs with transparent backgrounds in the free version ( it will be white)

Fantastic Tool for Quick Edits and Creative Projects

Comments: 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.

Save Time and Money

Comments: 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.

Easy-to-Use Design Tool with Templates for All Skill Levels

Comments: My overall experience with Canva is great. It’s user-friendly, versatile, and perfect for creating professional-looking designs quickly.

Pros:

Easy-to-use design tools, vast template library, and accessibility for beginners and professionals.

Cons:

Limited advanced design features compared to professional software like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.

One of my most used and trusted tools

Comments: Time saving, super friendly and helpful interface, huge money saver as you can create digital products by yourself instead of paying someone.

Pros:

It allows me to create almost anything I need, despite the fact that I am not a professional designer. It's fabulously friendly,easy to use, the learning curve is very gentle. I love the newly integrated AI tools and the fact that I can bring digital assets that I created in other software and assemble a completely new design in Canva really quickly. It's a creative powerhouse that feels incredibly friendly and helpful. And while the paid version is the best, you can create practically any digital product you want just using the free version.

Cons:

I did so many projects in it and it was(is!) so helpful and practical that I really can't fault it.

Canva is simply the best!

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.

Incredible Product for Small Nonprofits/Teams

Comments: Canva has revolutionized how I as a small nonprofit director can produce high quality, aesthetically pleasing designs in short time. I have passed this along to many other nonprofit leaders and trained others on the platform. Canva has been both a fun and helpful platform to experiment with many designs for my team and programs!

Pros:

Canva provides accessible design tools, templates, and even guides to novice to beginner users who need to generate high-quality designs in many formats. I love the vast array of templates for almost anything imaginable that can be customized. I love that they offer a free nonprofit version. I appreciate the ability to add a brand kit and custom colors/logos to the template, as well as the ability to collaborate with a team in the design space.

Cons:

Sometimes the interface is a bit slow to load, as there are so many features. I find that some of the templates begin looking and feeling the same after a while, but with more digging that is not a problem.

I use Canva on a daily basis, and the tool makes my job a lot easier and I recommend it.

Comments: My overall experience with Canva is overwhelmingly positive, considering its ease of use, versatility, and ability to meet a wide range of design needs.

Pros:

What I like most about Canva is its combination of powerful design tools with a user-friendly and accessible interface. Here are some of the key aspects that make Canva stand out.

Cons:

While Canva is a powerful and versatile tool, there are some aspects that may be less appreciated. Limitations on Advanced Customization, internet dependency, premium features.
