President Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Exceptional tool for building strong visuals." May 26, 2025 5.0 Having used Xtensio for a few years now, I think it's a very strong product that allows me to bring to life many concepts in a visually pleasing environment. The fact that I can share these products as live links helps me deliver a living product that can evolve over time. Pros Xtensio has done well to bring the needs of template modification combined with the many template offerings. They provide a good base to work from, while giving the flexibility to evolve templates into custom products that can provide a strong visual appearance. Cons Like any product, there are some odds and ends that I would view as opportunities for improvement. For example, their "undo" button is somewhat specific, not covering all aspects of changes. Their product also has some particular quirks where pasting without formatting can sometimes reset other text colour in another module. Alternatives considered [Adobe Creative Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/48969/Adobe-Creative-Cloud/) Reason for choosing Xtensio Template presentation and ease of use. It was simpler! Switched from [Adobe Creative Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/48969/Adobe-Creative-Cloud/) Ease of use and not having to rely on another person to make my changes. Review Source ID Iskra D. Cultural Projects Consultant Human Resources Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Creating Personas with Xtensio" April 23, 2025 4.0 Useful but not enough fun for creativity Pros Perfect template for creating a persona based on a structured framework, a detailed description, and pre-selected logos/images Cons Lacks more fun features and categories (e.g., social media icon bank) Alternatives considered [UXPressia](https://www.capterra.com/p/172668/UXPressia/) Reason for choosing Xtensio Easy to use. That helps creativity to be unleashead? Review Source Eric R B. CEO Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Xtensio will be a powerhouse sales tool when it finishes cleanup and UX updates" January 31, 2025 3.0 Xtensio is a great sales tool that is almost ready for prime time. My designer and I spent too much time on design, but we liked what we got. In the end, we sent out the PDF of the proposal instead because were worried about how it looks on mobile phones. The \[sensitive content hidden\] is responsive and I think they'll get there, but we did get a refund before the return window. We hope to come back to it eventually. Pros The ability to track analytics on the engagement of a prospect so I could see what was appealing to them the most. Cons The information architecture of the platform is puzzling. Templates and Folios are not delineated in a way that is helpful to users. The app struggled with some browsers and I had a lot of issues with loading. Lastly, there need to be more editing tools. A hugely cool app that needs more development and cleanup. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Reason for choosing Xtensio The tracking of user interactions to allow me to see what part of my presentation was working best.

It’s user-friendly, saves a lot of time, and helps ensure a polished, consistent brand image across client-facing materials. With a few improvements in export quality and design flexibility, it would be near perfect. Pros Easy to create professional, customizable business documents without needing design skills. The templates are polished, collaborative features are intuitive, and the platform adapts well to different business needs, from proposals to reports. Cons The platform can feel slightly rigid if you want very deep design customization beyond the template structure. Also, occasional formatting glitches when exporting to PDF can be frustrating.

Managing Partner E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Promising platform, some bugs to work out " August 17, 2024 4.0 Overall, I’m glad I gave Xtensio a try. I mostly found it for their templates, and then decided to try making a client report in it. I wish I had know ahead of sinking a good amount of work into the document that clients couldn’t comment. It’s not as easy to use as a Canva but much more beautiful than a Slides or PowerPoint. And less finicky than InDesign. Pros Helpful templates and very easy to brand your materials with your own colors or your clients. I’ve gotten a lot of positive reviews and comments from clients on how the report I created for them looks Cons The interface can get pretty clunky, especially if you are making a longer document. It is annoying to move sections around the document. I also wish there was a review feature where clients could leave comments. It would also be helpful to download as slides or PowerPoint in addition to PNG and PDF. Review Source AS Alex S.
