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.

Good software for beginners but becoming more complicated

Comments: Easy to use - although this is decreasing.

Pros:

Wide range of creative options i.e. Instagram, Facebook, Presentations, Videos etc. Ease of use of basic functionality e.g. creation of simple videos, preset templates. Great to be able to directly access photos, videos, audio etc.

Cons:

That they seem to be adding more and more functionality that is not necessarily making it more useful but is definitely making it more complicated to use and I feel that the initial appeal (of it being an quick and easy way to create content for those not knowledgeable on specialised software such as Adobe or Davinci resolve) is being lost. I feel some of the features are being added should first be improved e.g. AI functions. Not good for complicated videos - e.g. multiple audio

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.

Canva for Life!

Comments: Amazing, I have made some incredible designs and because of the new tools and developments within the software that they continuously build on, my work over the last few years has only gotten better and better!

Pros:

The versatility, hands down. I am always saying to people that "I can do that in Canva" because it literally offers such a diverse set of design options with completely customizable content and amazing starting templates.

Cons:

Honestly the only thing that annoys me when working within canva is how my files are organized. I have to dig and dig and dig sometimes to find a file. However, I must say that if I would have been smart, I would have labelled all my files with specific searchable titles and created folders for the various different projects I worked on. It does offer the tools for organization, so this con is probably more user error and lack of thinking ahead. I plan to reorganize it all one day but it will be a daunting task. Luckily Canva saves me time!

I love Canva and use it for so many projects.

Comments: I love Canva. Their program is useful for so many aspects of design and they are constantly improving and building on the program. I use Canva for just about everything design related.

Pros:

Almost everything. I use this program to help me assemble magazine layouts, social media posts, covers for videos, you name it.

Cons:

Some features are a bit hard to find but that's my only frustration.

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.

Design it up with Canva

Comments: GREAT the experience was very good, it is one of the best software you could get to designing anything you want from posters to instagram stories and what not and the pre made templates make everything more easier

Pros:

The best thing about Canva are the pre made templates, graphics and designs which we can use to make our own designs

Cons:

the thing I don't like is that there is no option to create designs offline or to download templates and use them offline

Best app ever!

Pros:

I love how easy it is to use and the variety of things you can do with it. It's also priced very reasonably.

Cons:

I really can't think of anything that is a con.

Canva makes my life easier

Comments: Our experience with Canva has been wonderful, they have provided us with the capability of producing excellent designs.

Pros:

Canva makes my life so much easier! I don't have time to make custom unique graphics often, so Canva templates saves me so much time.

Cons:

There isn't anything I don't really like about Canva that I can think of.

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.

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: A Versatile and User-Friendly Design Tool

Comments: Canva seems to be an excellent tool that provides a seamless design experience to the users through intuitive tools, a large variety of templates, and flexibility, making it perfect both for personal as well as professionally oriented projects.

Pros:

Impressively user-friendly interface, vast template library, and excellent options for full-fledged customization. Canva will easily make graphic design approachable for even the most novice amateurs, but the advanced features found here make it perfect for professionals. Great tool for creative projects!

Cons:

It doesn't cost anything, but the free version is limited because you'll have less access to those premium templates. Sometimes collaboration tools are clunky, but the app sometimes lags behind for complicated designs.

Great time saver

Comments: Great time saver that lets anyone produce high quality professional publicity

Pros:

The quality of the included templates is amazing making it very quick to customise and produce your own publicity

Cons:

The display area for the elements is very small and cannot be expanded so it can take a long time to find the best element to use

Graphic designer converts to Canva!

Comments: I've been a graphic designer for 20+ years and using Canva the last 4 and have found it super easy to use and works well, especially for digital designs.

Pros:

It's very user-friendly for people who don't have a lot of design experience. The templates are a great starting point for people. Having clipart and stock photos available within the program is amazing!

Cons:

I wish you could manage the bleed settings for print better and.

Canva: Always changing, always growing with you!

Comments: It is seamless and always growing. I love it!!

Pros:

I love how easy Canva is to use and the various integrations available. I like that it is easy enough for my teens to use, but I can make really unique designs for my company to use in marketing. It is easy to share ideas and collaborate. I particularly use the brand management for our Golden Tax Relief Team

Cons:

I would like more options for video. I would like to see more options like Favicons and smaller pixel images.

Easy to use and create amazing marketing for your business.

Comments: Very positive. Upgrading to Pro was a no-brainer. I'm a customer for life!

Pros:

Ease of use. The interface is user-friendly, there are tons of stock photos, something for every need. The templates are beautiful and I can always find something to fit my style and branding. I can upload my own images and add Canva elements to enhance the images. I can create reels, gifs, and mp4's. Canva has pre-loaded image dimensions, so I can easily resize my projects without having to start from scratch.

Cons:

The only thing I don't like is how easy it is to spend hours exploring and creating images, lol! I'm not really sure that's a negative. I personally need to make better use of the folders for organization.

Canva has everything to help make both your work and personal life easier

Comments: It is fun, easy to use and there is so much available at my fingertips for everything that I want to use it for.

Pros:

Canva is so versatile that I can use it for both work and home. As a church administrator, I have used Canva for our monthly newsletters, weekly church bulletins, fliers, labels and cards. At home, I use it for mock-ups for my art prints to post online to sell, spread sheets, chore lists, graphics to enhance my art and I use it to create advance posts on social media to advertise my art. I pay the monthly fee which is very affordable for everything it has to offer. I am always telling everyone about Canva and how fun and easy it is to learn.

Cons:

There is nothing that I don't like about Canva...

Make money with Canva

Comments: I am satisfied with Canva that i don't even plan on changing apps

Pros:

What i like the most now about Canva is that I can put motion to my animations and i love that it has AI in it.

Cons:

Most good perks come when you pay the subscription fee but i guess they have to make money too

I haven't looked back!

Comments: Canva is always going to be my go-to for design.

Pros:

Usage for layout and features seems similar across the whole platform. Layers and the 'click and move/resize' method makes everything very accessible, and once the basics have been mastered users can edit in a more precise way using more specific tools.

Cons:

Too many apps have been introduced - it's hard to find what you need sometimes.

How i designed like a "PRO" using canva

Comments: Im struggling for making a design layout but when i looked some website that i can help me to give some idea, I found canva and im shocked because it easy to use and i like the design so much. i used canva for very long time ago until now. for making resume, designing presentation to client. Thanks to canva

Pros:

"Canva offers a vast library of architectural templates and high-quality graphics that helped me present my ideas clearly and attractively."

Cons:

"The intuitive drag-and-drop interface made it easy to navigate and find the right templates." this are all the good things in canva. it helps the designing eventhough they dont have experience designing.

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.

Years of continuous improvement.

Comments: Like I said I have been using it for years! Now, with AI-enhanced options it makes it so I don't need to use any workaround or additional software to edit an image. It's a one-stop shop.

Pros:

While it is bet with the paid subscription I had been using this for years, probably for 10 years and I got by with the free version until this year when it made sense to access more materials. It is easy and fun to use. I have made everything from flyers advertising school courses, to company newsletters.

Cons:

Organizing and sorting uploaded images is probably the most taxing.

"CANVA: Versatile and Intuitive Tool for Simplified Graphic Design that helps me create whatever I want

Comments: Canva is an intuitive and accessible design tool that is ideal for beginners and professionals alike. With a vast library of templates, graphics, and fonts, it allows you to quickly create everything from social media posts to presentations and printed materials. Plus, its user-friendly interface makes it easy to customize and collaborate in real time. Canva Pro offers even more features, such as background removal and post scheduling. Overall, it is a versatile and practical platform for creative and marketing projects. Ideal and essential for my work as a Virtual Assistant.

Pros:

What I like most about Canva is its intuitive and easy-to-use interface, as well as the variety of ready-made templates for different types of designs. This makes the creative process much easier, allowing you to create visual pieces quickly and professionally, even without much knowledge of graphic design. The diversity of elements, images and fonts available is also a positive point, as it offers a lot of flexibility to customize projects.

Cons:

What I liked least about Canva is the limitation of some advanced features, which are only available to users of the paid version, such as access to a greater variety of graphic elements and the removal of image backgrounds.

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.

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.
