Graphic Designer and Operations Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for Everyone!" June 6, 2025 5.0 I love Canva. I highly recommend it for those new to design and even seasoned designers who want an easier platform that robust design software. It's also great to use with teams. Pros It is a great tool for easy design work. I love how user friendly it is, as well as how everything is stored on my account so I can access my designs from anywhere. It can do almost everything I need it to. Cons It does have some limitations with the editing it can do. It does not have an image trace tool like Illustrator or other programs so I cannot change the color of imported vector art or edit text as a shape. Review Source Derek H. Account Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva is the greatest design platform around" April 28, 2025 5.0 I came to Canva with little design experience and instead of being overwhelmed, I was instantly creating. The breadth of tools and apps is mind boggling to see offered and for such a low price, its amazing. I am a user for life. Pros Canva is the secret weapon that allows anyone to instantly be able to make professional grade content with a few clicks of a button. I have used Canva alone to create an entire business. Cons I wish there was an option to mass download items. We were often downloading 20+ PDFs and it would be great to select all the items and download them all at once. Review Source AY Arpit Y. Education and learning Animation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best app in the market " March 13, 2026 5.0 I have 1 year of experience with canva pro with AI tools and I also use canva pro but bethout AI last year Pros Best app for beginners and creators I'm a registered pharmacist I love this app because it helps to make posters Cons Photo editing and background removing is the best in canva and improve photo quality and there is video editor and voice over Review Source Amber L. People Reporting and Communications Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Turned me into a graphic designer in 5 minutes!" July 15, 2025 5.0 I love using Canva at work for all kinds of tasks - from newsletters to ID badge templates and banners for our intranet. There hasn't been a task I haven't been able to easy do and I love the integration of branding assets. Pros There is basically zero learning curve, WYSIWYG and it's so easy to start using. I love how you can integrate brand assets which made our recent rebrand so so easy. The range of templates and formats always suits my needs. Cons Almost nothing - it always does the job. Sometimes the photo/graphics library can be a bit lacking. Review Source AM Anna M. owner, designer, webdeveloper Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for simple projects, not so much for complex print ready files." May 6, 2025 4.0 Useful tool for everyday needs os a small business. Great for simple stuff, for more complex design projects I would use more professional software. Free version is limited, but it gets difficult when doing something for print. Pros It has a lot of options for people who have no access to Adobe products, and it has quite intuitive customer panel and very useful options. Best thing for me is set up sizes for social media posts as they are changing all the time. Cons If you are used to professional design software, this one is limited. Not a lot is available in free version, not as flexible as professional tools. Alternatives considered [Adobe Creative Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/48969/Adobe-Creative-Cloud/) Reason for choosing Canva I didn't, I use the alternatives as well as Canva depending on who I work with (professional designer or non-professional designer like business owner who wants to do thing himself) Switched from [GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)](https://www.capterra.com/p/168960/GIMP/) More options and useful image sizes. Also canva is way more user friendly and easier to learn for non-professionals Review Source SR Shirley R. Administrative Assistant Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love Canva " February 20, 2026 5.0 I use Canva every single day in my job. It makes for quick tasks to get different items done that I need to. Pros I love that it only takes a few clicks and I can have an AI generated Facebook post. If I need to remove a background it is quick and easy. Cons There are certain features that when you do use an AI generated image you can not really remove and or change back ground colors. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) This works easy and faster with the editing process for creating Facebook Posts Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Design like a Pro" December 30, 2025 5.0 It has been nothing short of amazing. And I love how they offer non-profits a FREE ACCCOUNT which saves us on cost and time. Pros As a marketing specialist design goes hand in hand with my position as I always need to design a graphic. I do have a traditional graphic design background and understanding of pro tools, but canva allows me to create seamless designs efficiently and with inspiration when I'm feeling stuck visually. Cons I honestly don't have any cons for canva. I have been using it for years and it continuously gets better as the application grows. Review Source RZ Renata Z. Naturopathic doctor Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva is the most amazing digital graphic generator ever" January 19, 2026 5.0 Pros The features are excellent and so needed - from creating social media posts to invitations to marketing tools, the features are endless. I pay for pro and it's such a worthy investment because of all the features (graphics, font faces) you get access too Cons Maybe cost? or like selecting graphics based on theme. But honesty -- there's very little bad to say about Canva Review Source Nicole G. Senior Insurance Agent Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva: Creating and Editing At Your Fingertips" February 6, 2026 5.0 Canva is a great tool for creating graphics for your business and personal endeavors. It is highly customizable, with many aesthetic templates available for free. Pros Canva is a wonderful creative tool that provides beautiful templates and easy editing access with lots of customizable features. Cons There are a lot of free templates but they are not always suited to my business's needs. Uploading content like videos and audio can take a while depending on the file size. Review Source AZ Amena Z. English Department Head and Teacher Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Canva makes my job easier!" May 8, 2026 5.0 Overall, I have enjoyed using Canva and I rely on it for most of my flyer and poster needs. I am faculty advisor for my school's Student Council and I and the executives use it almost weekly. I do wish that teachers had more of a discount since we use it so much. Pros What is great is the ease of use and the abundance of templates, even in the free account. I also love that I can download my own images and work with them. Cons A couple drawbacks are that it can be difficult to size and adjust things on the templates and that many of the nicer, more modern templates, copy art and images need a premium account. Review Source Crystal O. Library Media Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva - convenient and cool!" December 8, 2025 5.0 I've used Canva for years and really enjoy it! I like sharing resources with other librarians and adapting ready made templates to fit my uses. Pros I really enjoy how much you can edit and change things, as well as all of the premade templates available for free to educators, so that instead of starting from scratch, you can customize really professional looking templates. I also find the platform easy to navigate and edit prior projects. Cons I wish there were more free slideshows for educators that fit my needs. As a high school librarian, there aren't many that have useful information, for free. It would be great to have more, like a database like Teachers Pay Teachers. Review Source HL Hikmet L. Medical Assistance Specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Medical communication in a flash." December 25, 2025 5.0 Canva has allowed me to make simple figures and easily visual information to be transmitted internally and be aware without having to design them or seek the assistance of a designer. Pros I enjoy the speed of transformation of ideas into visual, be it the creation of a simple infographic or a social update of our services. Cons I do not like that a higher level of customization may seem restricted, and the ability to export bigger files may require a paid subscription in some instances. Review Source Melisa M. Development Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great content development tool that just keeps getting better" September 18, 2025 5.0 Over all, our team loves Canva. Users can quickly learn and perform within the platform. Templates save time by not needing time consuming decisions about design and material structure. Videos and animations can also be created with ease. Pros Canva offers quick creation of content through an abundance of templates. It is a cost effective option that helps create social media content even if you have limited graphic design knowledge. Cons Although, it does offer some quick filters and photo adjustments it is limited. The platform keeps improving but more blemish/corrections tools would be helpful. Review Source KS Keneila S. Head spa owner Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva Bride " March 22, 2026 5.0 I love it and am grateful especially with how much it has helped for my wedding and making sure things look nice. Pros It has helped me so much with wedding planning! Image editing is a breeze, most features are very user friendly, offline access is also great! Cons It does cost quite a bit for the canva pro. The value is not quite worth the price and i find it a bit much Review Source AH Amir H. E-Commerce Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convenient design tool that provides the ability to keep the daily marketing movement moving." January 2, 2026 5.0 It has been very convenient in my daily work process since I can translate ideas to practical design in a short period without having to engage the entire design team. Pros I also appreciate the fact that it is easy to edit templates and make them fit other platforms within a short duration of time. This is time saving in dealing with frequent product promotions and social updates. Cons Certain developed design controls are limited as compared to professional tools. Sometimes, the performance is slowed down by the use of a larger or layered design. Review Source Justice E. Founder Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva is the best! " May 4, 2026 5.0 I enjoy using canva and have made so many things, from calendars to flyers, to social media posts and consulting presentations. The only thing I would say has come to be a barrier at times is the cost. I don't use canva enough to consistently pay for a subscription, but the things I need are only available behind the pay wall. Again, that's a personal issue. I truly love canva. Pros Canva is such a creative and collaborative software system. I enjoy all the different things you can do with Canva. You can create flyers, PowerPoint presentations, social media posts, and more. I also like that you are able to complete a project and purchase said project directly from canva. Cons I wish there were more elements and apps that you could incorporate for free. Additionally, I would like Canva to offer more classes on how to navigate all its functions. Review Source MS Martina S. VP Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent for everyday design" December 29, 2025 4.0 Overall, Canva is a very strong all round design platform, especially for teams that need speed, consistency, and ease of use. It’s ideal for everyday marketing and business assets. Just be aware that if image creation or advanced editing is a core requirement, you may need to pair Canva with other tools rather than rely on it alone. Pros Canva is extremely easy to use and makes design accessible to anyone, regardless of experience. The templates are well designed, the layout tools are intuitive, and it’s quick to produce polished assets for presentations, social media, documents, and basic marketing materials. Collaboration works well, brand kits are practical, and it’s a great tool for moving fast without needing specialist design software. Cons While Canva is excellent for layout and templated design, its AI image creation and more advanced image editing tools lag behind more specialist design and AI based tools. For detailed photo editing, complex visuals, or higher end creative work, you often need to rely on external tools and bring assets back into Canva. Review Source Luis R. Dueño Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excelente para crear y ganar!" August 10, 2025 5.0 En general mi experiencia es muy buena es una pagina amigable y facil de utilizar. Me gusta mucho pueda hacer mis diseños con gran facilidad. Pros La facilldad que dan para poder crear los diseños de todo tipo, ayuda a los comerciantes y diseñadores a simplificar su trabajo. Cons Que la seria de pago la gran mayoria de los diseños pero es lo justo siendo una pagina que ayuda en mucho y simplifica los trabajos. Review Source YM Yasmin M. Administrative Assistant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Editing Site " March 31, 2026 5.0 Overall, Canva has been a reliable and convenient design tool for me. It saves time with its ready-made templates and simple interface, making it perfect for quick projects like presentations and social media graphics. It’s a great tool for beginners and quick designs, though it can feel somewhat limited for more complex or highly customized projects. Pros The best thing about Canva is its functionality and ease of use. Canva’s biggest strength is its simplicity combined with powerful features. The platform offers thousands of customizable templates, a huge library of fonts and images, and an intuitive drag-and-drop editor that makes designing accessible to everyone. Cons The app/website is great if you have a subscription, but what I liked least is that many templates, images, and tools require a subscription, which can be limiting if you’re using the free version. Review Source FO Feraud O. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The perfect tool for your business to create graphics and more" July 17, 2025 5.0 We use it multiple times each day. Whether that be creation social media posts, website elements or ad graphic creation. It simple and easy to use and provides us with a huge gallery of royalty free media. Pros The perfect simple alternative to photoshop. If you looking to just do graphic creation and simple edits this is the perfect tool. Cons There are many features in photoshop that you think would be simple and available on Canva, but they dont have. Clipping Masks for example would be great to have and also the ability to add overlay / colors onto specific elements only. Alternatives considered [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Reason for choosing Canva We still use photoshop but only for more complex editing. One a percentage based split monthly we use canva 90-95% and photoshop for the remaining. Review Source DG Daisy G. Designer in EdTech Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "CANVA LIVE" February 4, 2026 5.0 Pros You don't need a design degree. The "drag-and-drop" interface is ultra-intuitive. You can whip up a great-looking visual in 5 minutes.Since 2024-2025, the AI tools (Magic Studio) have become impressive: you can expand an image, remove backgrounds in one click, or generate images from text directly within the app Cons Because everyone uses the same templates, you often see the same designs all over social media.You have to put in extra effort to customize them if you want to stand out.This is the big dealbreaker for pros. You can't create complex logos that can be scaled infinitely without losing quality (unlike in Illustrator). Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Realtor Retail Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Don't agree to a free trial, unless you're prepared to be their client forever." June 19, 2025 1.0 HELL, no one can cancel my free trial. NOT MY JOB. I must have emailed at least 15+ canva employees and it's not their job to help me. I have disputed their charges and, low and behold, they change their merchant ID to get around my HOLD on paying them. Pros I made the mistake of believing the "free trial". I must have emailed at least 15+ canva employees and it's not their job to help me. I have disputed their charges and, low and behold, they change their merchant ID to get around my HOLD on paying them. Cons I received a "free trial" but when I canceled....they would not cancel. this has been going on for over a year. I must have emailed at least 15+ canva employees and it's not their job to help me. I have disputed their charges and, low and behold, they change their merchant ID to get around my HOLD on paying them. Review Source ET Elionay T. Completo Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mi honesta opinion" April 3, 2026 5.0 generalmente, ha sido muy excelente, eficaz y muy recomandable para cualquiera, la he usado para mis estudios y promocion de productos, es mi herramienta principal Pros Manejo rapido para crear presentaciones, flayers y contenidos de publicidad, amplio catalogo de opciones, herramientas de IA para facilitar y muchas plantillas Cons Aveces suele ser pesada la conectividad, muchas herramientas IA son pagadas Incluyendo la mayoria de plantillas Review Source EH Emma H. Communications Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Canva is outstanding" February 3, 2026 5.0 Pros Canva has vastly improved in the last 2-3 years, adding many features that perform at a comparable quality level as Adobe Creative Cloud products for a fraction of the cost and with significantly less skill required. Cons Occasionally, I'll find things it can't do. One is integration with spellcheck and grammar extensions like Grammarly, which make it a bit more tedious to proof large amounts of copy. Review Source CN Cathy N. E-Commerce Graphic Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "CANVA is a have to have!" August 7, 2025 5.0 The amount of stock inventory that is available and offered within the app adds great value to its utility and makes it worth the monthly subscription. Pros I like the starting points in Canva. That pertains to the initial setup of what it is that you are wanting to create - and whatever that is, Canva will have a template to help you start. Cons I find creating videos a little bit more difficult when in comparison to other apps. Certain details and options while in editing mode may differ in reaction as otherwise stated by its name. Switched from [Adobe Express](https://www.capterra.com/p/174232/adobe-express/) I use both concurrently, but Canva met more of my demands when it came to choosing templates for print.
