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.

February 2, 2026 4.0 Overall my experience is positive, if you're studying marketing I would recommend trying the free templates out! Pros The persona and customer journey templates for my Uni work are clear and easy to follow, it also exports in a high resolution. Cons Some limitations on the number of exports with a free account, which isn't ideal for when I need to go back and amend my work. Review Source BM Betty M. Product manager E-Learning Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "An amazing presentation software" November 30, 2024 5.0 These templates are a great choice for non-designers on a tight budget, especially when just starting out. Pros The templates are just awesome if you are looking cool presentations .It is also easy to navigate. Cons Trying to work on colors and fonts was a bit of a challenge especially when you want to change them, Alternatives considered [Visme](https://www.capterra.com/p/153139/Visme/) Reason for choosing Xtensio It was easy to drag and drop. The templates are super great too. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) I was looking for something interactive, easy to brand, edit and monitor in real time. Review Source DR Danielle R. Graphic designer Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Happy user " February 28, 2025 5.0 Very good. I used it for mockups for classes and clients Pros The customization part is easy. Very versatile. Cons When you save download it water marks, but I get it. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) The edit features were better and more accessible to change Review Source PM Parveen M. Student Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "User-Friendly and Effective Tool for Quick Projects" October 18, 2024 5.0 Overall, my experience was good. Xtensio is a very convenient and easy-to-use tool, and it certainly stands out in terms of functionality and template variety. However, the watermark on the trial version was a drawback that made the free trial less useful than I had hoped. Pros I liked that Xtensio's website was very user-friendly. I used it to create a persona for a class assignment, and I found it much easier to find templates compared to other websites. Editing was simple, and I loved the color options available. Plus, it was great that I could track the history of my edits, which helped me manage my work more effectively. Cons The only downside was that I purchased the trial version since I only needed it once. However, even with the trial, it still downloaded with a watermark. I understand that companies want to make a profit, but from a user’s perspective, it was a bit frustrating, especially since I couldn't even take a screenshot without the watermark appearing. This felt a little restrictive. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) I could not find a good template for Persona. Review Source Soumyendu D. Product Manager E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Xtensio is having one of the best templates resources , would highly recommend especially for user person" April 5, 2025 5.0 It was seamless, easy and attention to detail been taken care of. Pros It is very seamless when it comes to drawing User Persona. Cons For that I would have to explore more and work with other templates Review Source Loïc L. Senior consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome for personas!" February 11, 2025 5.0 My partner since 2015 for making fire personas! Pros Easy to learn, full of templates for contractors. Cons Template design could be a little more up-to-date Review Source LO Liz O. Student Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Xtensio review " July 1, 2025 4.0 I enjoyed using the templates and it got the job done for my assignments. I would like to explore other templates Pros I like how simple it was to use and the templates helped me get work done for assignments I had to do. Cons Quite cluttered on some templates. I Would like more space for text and overall visuals. Also sometimes text doesn’t upload when I try to export my download Review Source DS Douglas S. Translational Scientist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A very capable and competitive way of creating content" October 16, 2019 4.0 I like Xtensio. For generating content quickly and without a lot of fuss, in specific topical areas, this is my go-to tool. The learning curve is fairly shallow, and as I learn new tricks it is easy to go back and make changes. I have found that over time, lots of things start to look the same - there is an Xtensio "look." This isn't a problem for mostly-internal documents, but I also use other tools to create a wider variety of content. Pros It is modular - if your content needs align with an existing template, it is quick and easy to create a customized high-quality and informative infographic. Wide range of customization options. Things work pretty much as you'd expect them to. Excellent customer support. Cons Although there are lots of options, the existing set of templates feels constrained - if they serve your specific needs then you are in luck. If not, you can create a template from scratch but without a lot of guidance.

Ceo Broadcast Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for high level docs " April 30, 2024 5.0 Overall it’s a solid solution for one off high level docs not for deep dives Pros I enjoy the one pager layout for one pagers and ovrrviews Cons I don’t like how limiting it is on what you can do inside the software itself it’s very frustrating to change a design plan to get it to work the right way Review Source BC Billie C.

Head of Product Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Product Sales Sheets" June 23, 2023 5.0 Pros The ease of being able to create branded sales sheets for our various partners is amazing. The digital sales sheet that can be constantly updated without having to send our partners new links and files is a massive win! Cons There were a couple of times that the section formatting didn't match from the editable page vs the link to the presentable page. This seemed to correct itself in a short amount of time so it wasn't that big of an impact. Reason for choosing Xtensio I had previously utilized Xtensio in my prior startup and loved the solution. Review Source JS James S. Associate Professor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "IT Educator in UI/UX course" March 29, 2024 5.0 Pros I use and present with xtensio and utilize the free forever option for students that do not opt in ($). I cannot describe the transformation I see in student's eyes when they are able to take dull lecture and reading and actually get hands-on. All our sections have a hands-on component its a hallmark of our program so xtensio changes young lives amd possibly launched a few careers! Cons Little busy at first but if you're in a course and the instructor is able to start at personas say, from there your excellent recommendation feature puts the next step close by and intrigues the student to keep searching for more. I could easily see the "AI" component to xtensio working like a GPT or stand alone agent. Great software! Review Source TF Taylor F.
