CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva is so easy to use" March 22, 2024 5.0 I have used Canva for web design work to make landing pages panels and also to make flyers for my neighbors committee in the building where I live. Both times, it was so easy to work on Canva. I happened to use the paid version when I needed it but I appreciate the fact they let customers avoid watermarks and export for free. Pros \- Free without watermarks depending on the elements the user decides to use. - Very easy to use and intuitive - Many templates and graphic elements available for free. - Exports available in multiple formats including video. - Affordable compared to other editors that are also complicated to use for beginners. Cons \- Video Editor can become sluggish as you add visual elements. - Hope there was a better integration with a vast selection of royalty-free content hubs like Pixabay, Unsplash, Pexels and Creatibe Commons or any others that are totally free. - Wish they added some serious AI integration that renders work similar to Leonardo AI or Switched from [Affinity Designer](https://www.capterra.com/p/110533/WebPlus-X4/) I made the switch because you can use Canva on a laptop or phone and it is very simple.

Pros The ability to combine all the features possible to create that which was first envisioned.This platform is great for any designer out there that needs to make their visual campaigns at a most efficient price. Cons Limitations on free use but it is understandable. Review Source DH Danielle H. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Professional, beautiful software that has allowed me to scale my social media business " September 25, 2022 5.0 Up until 3 years ago, I outsourced all my social media posts to an external designer. Canva has turned my business around with its super easy functions, and made my design time a hundred times more efficient. It's also taken my presentations to a new level of professionalism with smart mockups. It's my most used software on my laptop. The training videos are excellent. Pros The smart mockups feature is so good. Has completely changed my presentations to client. They look so good! Love the range of images that are available as part of the monthly subscription. Teams is excellent and has enabled me to share seamlessly with others. Search and filters makes it really easy to find design elements quickly. The learn blog is a great feature and I use it all the time if I am not sure how to do something. Cons I haven't really unlocked the full capabilities of Canva - and this is a time issue! Would be really great if the print options were available in South Africa.

Desde una perspectiva de marketing promocional y en línea, el uso de diseños creados completamente dentro del espacio de trabajo de Canva me permite ahorrar tiempo y mantener un estándar profesional y coherencia en todos mis resultados finales. Las plantillas listas para usar están muy bien pensadas y puedo encontrar fácilmente una plantilla de diseño adecuada para mi nicho para modificar y poner en marcha mi proceso de creación, incluso en momentos en los que tengo dificultades para conceptualizar un diseño creativo. Recomiendo encarecidamente Canva tanto para aficionados como para diseñadores profesionales. Incluso los que no son diseñadores pueden lograr un resultado decente con la ayuda de Canva. Pros Antes de usar Canva Pro, usaba Photoshop con regularidad y lo combinaba con plantillas de Envato Elements. Sin duda, produjo resultados de calidad, pero fue un proceso que llevó mucho tiempo. No esperaba que Canva fuera un reemplazo de Photoshop, pero como tuve que diseñar muchos carteles y anuncios gráficos para publicaciones regulares en las redes sociales, Photoshop no fue la mejor opción. Canva realmente resolvió este problema. Puedo diseñar diseños gráficos de calidad profesional, carteles, pancartas, volantes, folletos, invitaciones y tarjetas de presentación, logotipos, infografías, lo que sea, ¡Canva lo tiene todo! No solo tiene miles de plantillas de alta calidad para elegir, también puedo comenzar desde cero y hacer una combinación de diferentes elementos y activos, que se pueden seleccionar de la biblioteca de fácil acceso de Canva de millones de las mejores fotos y videos de stock premium. elementos png e cliparts, y una amplia colección de fuentes. Otro aspecto muy útil que vale la pena mencionar es la facilidad para navegar y usar las funciones y herramientas de edición disponibles en el espacio de trabajo de diseño de Canva. Prácticamente no hay retrasos ni fallas cuando juegas con los diales de efectos de imagen y ventanas de ajuste o cuando cambias el tamaño y la posición, o copias ciertos elementos de diseño de una plantilla a otra. La herramienta de eliminación de fondo incorporada es probablemente la mejor en línea, que yo sepa. Cons Los precios mensuales y anuales de Canva para la versión Pro son costosos de mantener. En comparación con Photoshop, encuentro muy inconvenientes las capas de las plantillas de Canva y la edición y selección de cada capa dentro de una composición / diseño. Cuando las capas se superponen, hay pocas o ninguna opción para modificar y seleccionar capas individuales con facilidad. Además, cuando arrastro una nueva imagen a mi diseño, se ajusta y reemplaza la imagen existente y realmente tengo que luchar para evitar que Canva lo haga automáticamente. Un mejor sistema de organización de carpetas para mis cargas personalizadas, con etiquetas, puede ser de gran ayuda para brindar más disciplina y eficiencia al flujo de trabajo. La edición de video o animación es muy primitiva, e incluso otras herramientas básicas de diseño como Placeit o invideo tienen formas mucho mejores y diversas de creación de video. Canva todavía carece de una ventana de edición de línea de tiempo o animación de fotogramas clave, como la que se encuentra en Pix Teller. Review Source Charity W. Realtor Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly Design Software For Individuals And Small Businesses" April 30, 2021 5.0 Canva is user-friendly and affordable. It has made creating designs easy and fast. Designing marketing materials for both our offline and online audiences now costs less and doesn't consume much time. The pros for this product outweigh the cons, I would therefore recommend this software to anyone who isn’t an expert on graphic design and still needs to create appealing and professional-looking materials without spending too much time or money. It is ideal for small businesses. Pros Canva is affordable and easy to use which makes it ideal for most of our marketing personnel who have little graphic design experience. We do a lot of brochures, flyers, create ads, and social media graphics for our properties. Creating content for the various social media platforms has never been easier. It has thousands of high-quality templates to use in designs for almost any occasion which are easy to customize. It also allows one to upload their own images to use on the platform. The platform supports various file formats which makes it easy to work with for the team. It stores the designs for future use and we can download them into different devices to use elsewhere, for instance, post as a status or part of the catalog on the Whatsapp platform. The availability of tutorials and designing courses makes it easy to use and learn new things. The availability of a mobile version of the software is a huge plus. Creating designs while on the move is amazing. Our team doesn’t have to wait to get back to the office to create a poster or social media post for that amazing property that they want to take online immediately. Cons The software has limited photo editing functions and a lot of features like resizing images are locked in the premium version. It is also not flexible enough for an expert designer who wishes to create designs from scratch. Whereas there are thousands of templates to use on the platform, a lot of designs lack uniqueness as popular designs are used by a lot of businesses. They can do better on the customer service. The ease of reaching the support team and the response time to concerns raised should be looked into. Reason for choosing Canva Canva is user-friendly software and doesn't require one to have any graphic design skills as opposed to Adobe Indesign which is for professional graphic designers. The availability of easy-to-use templates that allow one to create a design in a very short time was very appealing to us. For our level of design needs, Adobe Indesign would be expensive for us, so we went with Canva. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Photoshop is a powerful software for professional graphic designers and requires a lot of investment in terms of learning and practice. Its interface is also quite complicated and can be a bit difficult to navigate and considering that most of our team members do not have graphic design skills and our needs are really very simple, we realized that it was not ideal for our situation. We were looking for easy-to-use software that anyone could work with. The price too was a factor. Whereas Photoshop offers superior editing capabilities and collaboration tools, Canva offered what we were looking for at a much lower price and it having both a freemium and a premium version made it all the more attractive. That being said, I must state that Photoshop is amazing software. It's professional and the choice to switch was really about what software best suited our needs. Review Source Lee A. Entrepreneur Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Online Graphic Design Platform" March 7, 2021 4.0 I really enjoy using Canva for creating marketing campaigns for my business, and I use it to create Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest pictures and I also, use it to create video stories for social media using the templates in Canva. After all, Canva is a very helpful tool especially if someone doesn't have Graphic Design experience like myself. I hope they will keep doing a great job and add more features and templates to this Amazing platform. Pros I like it because it's very easy to use and It allows me to designs anything in my mind and it only takes a few seconds from start to finish especially with all the useful elements Canva provides. I like the Image Library because I'm allowed to find whatever I'm looking for there with just a few clicks I'm able to find high-quality images. I'm using it for creating marketing campaigns for my business and I really like all the social media templates especially for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest...etc. I really enjoy video editing especially for Instagram stories and I don't need any super video editing knowledge because with Canva everything is easy and I can create cool videos using the templates they offer. I also, like the Amazing fonts Canva has, and I can find any font I like because they have hundreds of them, and they all are modern fonts. I like the commercial use agreement because I'm able to use all the elements and Images without any problem thanks to Canva for allowing millions of users and me to have the right to use everything with full commercial rights. Canva is one of the best Graphic Design tools and I really like using it because It's an online platform and you don't need a high-performance computer to use it like other Software. It's an all-in-one tool and it's very helpful especially for those who don't have any Graphic Design knowledge. I like the new features they added recently for example like the curved font style and it's a very helpful option. Cons I hope they will give us more features in Canva android app. I hope they can add some options like removing the background from Images, Convert Images, Stroke for fonts, Erase Tool, Pin Tool...etc. I hope they can add a section where we can see the elements we have in the projects. I hope they will add more templates especially for social media (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest) in the future. But, after all, Canva Team is doing a great job, especially with the last updates.

December 14, 2022 5.0 I use Canva for 4 years, and it's been a very satisfying experience. I use to edit my graphic designs very easy and fast. Just in minutes, I get a stunning artwork and share it in social mediam people just love it. I can search for any type of template and easily edit it. I just thank for the developers. Nice and professional creative ideas like this, must be shared. Just try it. You won't regret. Pros Canva helps a lot, when it comes to create a design starting from a pre-built template. Of course, I can star from scratch. But it's a great tool, and users all around the world love it. Yit has many great commands and a nice and easy interface. Easy to share and much more. Cons Sometimes it's difficult to select the specific object or text. And the watermark is something that doesn't help a lot when we want to sale the work. Beside this, it's ok Review Source Bryan Jerico B.

Cons Aveces cuando se exportan videos en algunos minutos presenta algunos problemas pero nada que no se pueda arreglar Review Source LS Lucia S. docente di sostegno Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva il migliore amico di una maestra" April 6, 2023 4.0 complessivamente la mia esperienza con Canva è stata completamente soffisfacente Pros Canva permette di creare documenti e modelli, spaziando dalle funzionalità di applicativi come word a Powerpoint, il tutto però in un unico spazio di lavoro, estremamente intuitivo. Secondo me Canva rimane l'applicazione per creare documenti, presentazioni, grafici, biglietti, cartelloni, documenti multimediali più user-friendly ed economica. Le funzionalità gratuite sono più che discrete e non risulta per forza necessario acquistare la versione pro. Nel quotidiano lavoro a scuola si è rivelato fondamentale e oramai lo uso completamente al posto dei pacchetti office. Cons Non esistono i livelli, come nei programmi adobe, per cui, lavorando su documenti complessi alle volte la selezione dell'elemento che si vuole modificare è poco pratica. Review Source Katalyn K. Development Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Leads pack in free graphic design software" March 14, 2020 5.0 There is nothing else like Canva out there--something free that has as many features. As an employee at a nonprofit and a freelancer, paid products are just not always an option or not a priority. Overall, the UI is great, there are so many free fonts/pictures/designs/etc, and it is a powerhouse for graphic design--especially if you need something easy and quick to use. The paid options are worth it if you do feel like investing a bit, you will get more functionality and design options for a very reasonable price. I recommend this product all the time to folks, even those with no design experience or know how. It's just so easy to use and amazing that all of it is free and has no ads. Pros There are SO many great features in Canva that I don't know where to start. It is really easy to use, even if you have no graphic design experience or knowledge, and the number of features that are available rival a lot of more expensive paid products. Very user friendly and easy to figure out even as a first time user--a lot of it is just drag and drop or drag around with your mouse. Tons of templates so not only do you know your FB header or IG post is the right size--there's also free designs you can build off of. You can share items with the rest of your team and copy designs. There's truly a lot to like about Canva. Cons I have very little in the way of things to dislike. There are quite a few elements (pictures, fonts, gifs, etc) and features (resizing your design without having to recreate it) that are only available as a paid subscriber and Canva doesn't allow you to filter them out, though I can't say I blame them. Sometimes formatting can get wacky when downloading items. It can't do everything that Photoshop or InDesign can do--it's not a replacement for that. There are some other very minor quirks (like if you paste in text, it will remove the paragraph breaks or bullet points) but there's not much to dislike. Reason for choosing Canva There really is no alternative to Canva. It is in a class of its own in terms of a free product with this many features, and this degree of user-friendliness. Review Source Emeka O. Digital Marketing Trainer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use graphics design software" December 28, 2019 5.0 I use Canva to design graphics for my business. It is very easy to use, and I didn't have to invest time to start learning stuffs like Photoshop. Using Canva I only need to drag and drop, and edit the elements I want to use. Pros I've been using Canva for some years, and it has been amazing. There are reasons for which I love Canva, and they are as explained below: 1. Ease of Use: I was looking for an easy to use drag and drop graphics design software. Of all the options I saw, Canva was the best for me. 2. Easy learning curve: I didn't have the time, and technical willpower to learn graphics design softwares like Photoshop. I was looking for a software I can start using immediately, and Canva filled in the gap. One can start using Canva immediately by just dragging and dropping some design elements. 3. Availability of templates: Canva has pre made templates that can just be edited to suit one's desire. This was a plus for me, as I never had to start learning how to design those stuffs from scratch. 4. Cloud storage: I love it that I can design a work on my phone or PC and be able to access it from anywhere. My works are stored online on Canva's server. 5. Free elements and templates: I love it that Canva has some free elements and templates I can start working with immediately without having to spend some money. 6: Can synch with multiple devices: I love it that I can start a work using my PC, and then finish it with my mobile phone when I'm away from the PC. Cons The only problem I have with Canva is the cost of some elements and templates. Since I'm operating on a lean budget, I needed to work with free softwares. Some elements, and the very beautiful ones, on Canva are premium elements. One will have to buy them to be able to export works done with them. For someone that have the budget, this is not an issue as Canva is an amazing software. Review Source MS Malary S.

It is an easy source and software I can rely on with most of business branding needs. I highly recommend! Pros I like Canva because it is very user friendly and there are so many options to what you can create with it. You can create many different things such as resumes, social media templates, business cards and signs just to name a few. Cons There is not much I do not like about the software. I wish it was a little cheaper but it is definitely worth the investment in the long run. It is a great tool for content creators and small businesses.

Senior Marketing Specialist E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The all-in-one design platform you need for your business" October 5, 2022 5.0 Excellent. I would recommend and continue to use this platform. Pros The fact that it's extremely intuitive to use. Anyone can learn to use this quite easily. It also has all the functionalities that you need it to have without it looking complex like Photoshop. Sometimes it bugs and there are features that could be improved, but overall it's quite good for what you pay for. Cons Sometimes it bugs out, which is normal. It's be super great if there were search functionalities for past image uploads or a better organisation system for brand assets.

Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I love Canva, and you should too!" August 26, 2022 5.0 I LOVE THIS SOFTWARE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WHO IS FLUSTERED. Whether you are in media, film, graphic design, or business owner you need to create quick and easy flyers. Canva is the right software for you! Pros This software has been game-changing for me. I own my business and do videography work on the side and this is a software I use daily. What I like the most about this software is easy to use and fast to catch on to. Photoshop was so discouraging trying to figure out all the settings from scratch, but Canva can\* teaches you the basics, provide templates, and graphic elements, and you can build from there. They offer blogs about some graphic design basics that you can read off the site or the app. One of the main features I love about Canva that keeps me in the pro-version is exporting to different resolutions. I'm able to make one brand poster and change it into a flyer, Instagram post, video, etc. This feature saves you so much time and helps get a lot of brand awareness out. AND IT'S SUPER AFFORDABLE FOR PRO VERSION! You are doing a disservice to yourself by not getting pro. The Free version has so many features but the Pro version makes it so much for efficient and it makes a difference in productivity. Cons I guess the only thing I would say that I like the least about this software, is that it's not respected as a skill. I find it very narrow-minded because it can achieve just as much as Photoshop and maybe more as a beginner but the software does get a lot of hate. I love the software and I highly recommend it but I'm not sure what advice I can give to the Canva team to change that stigma. Reason for choosing Canva Canva is great for all the tasks I need and mainly the interface was very user-friendly and helped me to finish my projects faster. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/)[Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) The user interface was very overwhelming and it was frustrating trying to use it and I was not happy with the products I was making. The price point of Adobe Platform is ridiculously overpriced! Review Source Ian M. Head of Product Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Just the right balance of power and control and ease" March 28, 2020 5.0 I really enjoy being able to create marketing assets quickly and Canva has nailed the feeling of "play" with their library of assets. I've mostly used Canva to produce banners (digital, not physical) for ad campaigns and t-shirts. In writing this review I just learned they have menus as a template type and videos so I'm likely to try working with those asset types soon. Pros A lot of products in the "design for non-designers" category have the problem of not allowing enough flexibility. They pin the user in with too few choices and restrictions so that every design (logo, banner, etc.) that you make ends up feeling too similar and not inspired, not YOUR creation. Canva is exceptional in that it makes it easy and fun to try LOTS of different designs, providing you with just the right assets to try a lot of different designs. It's still easy enough that you don't feel like you have to struggle or read a lot of how-to guides to get started but it's flexible enough that when you've created something, it feels like it's really yours (and not just a couple template options that you picked from). It's very handy for creating assets like logos, banners, t-shirts, etc. when you need something quick and when you don't have a professional designer resource. Great for home businesses working on marketing assets or startups where a CEO or product or marketing person needs to jump in and produce a few assets for a campaign, merchandise, etc. Cons This is more of a limitation than a negative comment about the product: Canva has a LOT of template types, including videos and menus (for restaurants) but they do NOT (as of Mar 28, 2020) appear to have a few key types like screenshots (i.e. for app stores) and their videos don't allow you to superimpose a graphic or video within the scene. I bring these two cases up because it's a very common need for a small business that produces apps to create promotional screenshots (the type where the screenshot is surrounded by marketing text) and promotional videos demoing their app content. For cases like this you'll have to look at https://biteable.com/ (for promo videos) and https://theapplaunchpad.com/ (for screenshot generators). Review Source FA Fidelis A. Sales Manager Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva 2021 latest review" January 19, 2021 5.0 My overall experience with canva is awesome. starting from its social login features which makes it easy and simple to login to its search box which makes it easy to select from the category the kind of content you want. it brand kits, color pallets, drag and drop feature for easy design and navigation. file conversion extension for easy product presentation. its space for saving your designs makes it good to access your design work at any time. it also has a custom size selection for your layout and recommended pixel for any type of presentation, social marketing, and brand design. Pros Canva is one of the best marketing, branding, and design software you can ever enjoy. in fact, to be honest, I have used this software/platform for more than 2 years and have made lots of money from their design templates using the Canva platform. Looking at Canva desired features, it has a welcome plan called "Free Plan " and a Pro trial version ( paid plan) when you upgrade. The free plan has almost 80% great content and design at your disposal, free to use. In fact, I have been enjoying this free plan for a very long time now because of its additional features of paying at the point of download. This is what I mean. when you need to design with premium content, at the point of downloading such content, they will ask you to download such great content just for $1 which when compared to other software, makes it your great choice to choose. On the other hand, the Pro Trial version is one which when you subscribe to, will give a 30-day free trial before billing you. The pro version is offered at a token of $12.95/month as at the time of writing the review. The pro version has great features such as collaboration in real-time and sees changes as they are made in real-time,75 million-plus premium photos, videos, and elements, 3000 plus premium fonts, 420,000 plus premium templates, 100GB storage, premium animations, background remover, and magic reseize, brand kits plus extra folders and many more. The software/platform is very easy to use and can be integrated into many apps. Cons Though this software requires regular upload of videos, templates, elements, photos, and many more. I can boldly say that canva is equal to the task because they update and upload new free and paid feature elements and designs. Therefore it has no cons. Review Source ST Steve T. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If You're Thinking About Using Canva - Just Do It! It's Amazing! " March 12, 2021 5.0 Im sure I could go on and on about Canva, heck, I even listed some more positive notes about Canva in the Cons section. But ultimately for me it comes down to the fact that I don't have to sacrifice any quality in my work or flexibility in my deliverables and exports when using Canva. Yet I gain so much time using it and when it comes to professional graphic design thats everything. One project in particular I recently worked on was a series of short videos for ads for a client and the turnaround on those ads was crazy. If I had to make those videos in any other video editing software it would have taken 5 times as long and I probably wouldn't have met the deadlines. However because Canva has made everything so easy to use I was able to crank out videos so quickly and make edits so quickly without compromising quality. And that was HUGE. Pros I honestly have so many "pros" about Canva that I truly don't know where to start. I have been doing graphic design for 15 years now for all types of businesses and all sorts of projects from print to advertising and I typically use the Adobe software options but for the past 2 years Canva has covered just about 98% percent of what I've needed to do. Here are a few highlights that I love, - The templates for sizing on different platforms such as Facebook headers has become indispensable for me - The huge library of stock material that is SO quick and easy to access - They are now including video options - The content/templates/etc. is all very high quality and up to date - They have awesome "moving photos" for social posts. - The way you can resize a design for multiple export options is amazing. I often find myself wanting that in Adobe products. I could keep going. The resizing feature alone was enough for me to use the pro version but everything about Canva is top notch and I always find new things they have added to the platform that make life for a designer so much easier. It is a go-to platform for me and my team. Cons I really don't have much negative to say about Canva. The only thing I can really say negatively about it is the file organization. I wish that was better, however, I may be doing it wrong and there may be a better way. Other than that I honestly have no criticisms about Canva. I mentioned in the "pro's" section that it covers 98% of my designing needs and that last 2% I honestly never expect a product such as Canva to cover because that last 2% for me is the more extreme in depth edits that Photoshop or Illustrator provide and honestly I am 100% okay with that. It does mean I need both platforms to fully do my job but its worth it because Canva has saved me so much time. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Canva increased my productivity by 10 fold without compromising quality. Review Source Arun Sarathy P.

I am also a big fan and have been paying for its subscription to get the most out of what it offers. Their company and its culture, management - everything seems genuine and I love any company that offers genuine solutions via their products to the mass audience. Pros It's a cake walk to get started and use Canva, and I am a proud user since 2014! After a fellow blogger introduced me to Canva, it was love at first sight and no other graphic design platform has been so efficient and intuitive to me.Here are some of the Pros:1. They have plenty of templates, and more added every month almost!2. They also have pretty easy integrations with other API-driven platforms - zapier, pabbly, etc.3. With a paid subscription (that I have, it's a no-brainer), I get to create branded color sets and easy to use presets.4. Not to forget the plethora of design elements that come with the paid subscription. 5. The free version of Canva itself is more than enough for someone who is a casual user for design creations. E.g. Bloggers, Teachers, YouTubers, etc. Cons The biggest con to me with Canva is that the tool (rarely) sometimes doesn't sync well, and it hangs. I have to refresh or wait for sometime to pickup where I left. Maybe I am too fast in designing and using it, but when the tool doesn't catchup with my pace, it's kinda annoying.

Canva is a great tool for mass producing graphical content, such as blog entries, posters, and social media postings. It's a lot of fun to use, and if you're just starting out, you'll be amazed at what you can do. It's easy to create and modify projects for many sorts of uses, including personal, professional, and more.  Additionally, the platform's features and functions are extensive, ranging from the ability to modify photographs and brand material for social media to the use of templates for creating progress reports and yearly reports, both of which have proven to be quite useful and time saving. Furthermore, this platform needs zero specialised expertise or training to use. Cons I don't like how restricted the video editing options are. Currently, there aren't too many alternatives. To that end, I look forward to future instalments. Canva's video editing tools are too basic for me to use them at this time. It's concerning that many people just copy and paste the templates, making it simple to identify Canva users online. Canva might improve matters by spreading the word about its Design School, found under the site's Learn section. Many people don't even realise it exists. Canva's free plan lacks a filter that separates freemiums from premiums, despite the fact that it offers a large number of features and the ability to upload files for use in design creation. At the moment, their in-app search function simply allows you to narrow down templates by colour and language. If you don't use a template, you'll have to use keywords to find what you need. In my opinion, it would be beneficial to include this functionality. Also free membership let you dowenload the contents with low resolution.

It is an one stop solution for me. Whether I need to make content for social media platforms or my blogs, I always use Canva. Because of its simplicity, I would never think about any alternative options of Canva. Pros Simply put, Canva has changed my life, and career. Being a blogger, I need to design a lot for my content. Specially, when it comes to creating infographic, Canva is unbeatable. You can choose from tons of professional templates and easily shape your imagination. Whether you need to design a photo for facebook, twitter or blogpost, Canva has everything tp support you. Honestly, it made my life easier. I can easily access tons of resources from stock photos to mind-blowing icons, Canva has everything right in the place so that I don't need to struggle a bit. The download options are also pretty much handy. In a nutshell, if you don't have enough design skill, still you can do some great professional looking design when you have canva in your side. Cons I think there are still rooms for development. Canva should think about bringing more stock photos, videos, etc. They should also develop a well-organized internal filling system. Updating the tools to make our life easier would be a plus point as well. Besides, the photo retouching capabilities of Canva should also be improved. The photo adjustments control of Canva is not up to the mark yet. If they improve these few things, Canva will be truly invincible in the design tool industry. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) There is no denying that Adobe illustrator is a pretty much powerful tool and capable of doing everything when it comes to design. But, for me, I don't think I need that level power right now. All of the basic features that I need to design my content, I get from Canva. As Canva offers a comparative simple solution to me, I switched to it from Adobe illustrator. Review Source Humberto C.

Diretor CEO Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "create all kinds of designs" September 22, 2021 5.0 I use canvas both on the website and on my cell phone to edit photos and videos, using ready-made templates because I'm always taking my work with a new face. When I finish editing I quickly do a share and email it to my clients. For me who am not earning much with my work, I use the free version as the price is a little more expensive than I can afford. But for you, you can pay and you don't have knowledge in graphic design, and you need to create professional arts and improve the dissemination of your products and services, I recommend the Canva Pro version is a good option because you will have more varieties of ready-made templates and of course you will. help you a lot. Pros I like being able to create amazing designs with ease and having on my mobile an excellent tool to make business cards, logos, presentations, and much more in a few minutes. canvas is a tool that anyone can use and at the end of the edit it looks like it was an experienced design professional who created the work, it's fantastic. Cons Despite having few customization possibilities in the free option, it is very functional and solves my need I need to create a job. There are some templates that you could only edit, but could not save or share because you are using the free version. I agree that platform apps have their job to keep the canvas always up to date, but think a little about the creators and lower the plan value. Review Source CD Christine D. Marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Canva inspires creativity" November 10, 2022 5.0 My overall experiece has been absolutely inspiring Pros I previously used Photoshop. I heard about Canva and started with the free version but soon upgraded to the pro account. It provides so many templates and designs and functionality make it worth every penny. It is easy to use with a wide variety of elements, fonts, ets. It also provides a handy background remover which is fantastic. Cons The free vesion has some limitations with fewer templates to choose from and limited functionality. Also the free version does not include the option for background remover.

Business Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easier than Photoshop" September 3, 2020 5.0 using canva completely transformed how I create content for my company. I do a variety of things from making flyers for events that are going on in my studio to creating YouTube videos. In both these scenarios I use Canva. I'm able to create beautiful thumbnails using Canva and I Would put the thumbnails I've made against any other popular YouTubers thumbnails. Canva proves that you don't need an expensive editing software and an arts degree to create beautiful designs for your company and your brand! Pros I have to tell you I've been using Canva for several years now and It has made my life as The business owner and content creator much easier. I think what I like most about Canada is that it's a program that is built for would be designers to design things like thumbnails for platforms like YouTube or Facebook. Or create flyers and banners for Instagram and Facebook. What I like most is that it's much easier to use than a platform like Adobe Photoshop and it has a lot of the same features. Plus, they're always updating the software so just when you think you're going to have to switch over to using a new platform like Adobe they update things and add that one feature you've always wanted. Like for example the transparency feature that they just added a year or two back has been a real game changer for me. It's really helped me because now I've been able to make images have clear backgrounds and I don't believe that they used to have that. It's opened up possibilities for what I can do in the software. And by the way this is coming from someone who does know how to use Photoshop. I use Photoshop and I use Lightroom but I always go to Canva first because it's simpler to use and it's by far more accessible for beginners. Also, you don't have to use the premium service with Canva but I highly recommend it because the cost is rather low and you get access to so many different features like stock images and other editing tools that make the price worth it. Cons One of the only cons I can see with Canva is that I wish it had more editing tools. So, sometimes I do have to edit an image in an Adobe program but be honest that's very rare.
