Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

Canva is an online design and publishing platform. Its business users sit mainly in marketing and creative teams, and sales teams. Users credit its ease of use for non-designers and continuous updates as per the current needs. One drawback is its locked premium content, which results in limited designs for those who are using it without subscription. Its recent AI integration with Gemini and AI Mode in Google Search enables users to customize designs directly through natural language prompts.

Our Verdict

Canva suits small and mid-sized teams where marketing and social content comes from staff outside a design role, which is common across education and nonprofits. Pricing is lauded for the value it provides, though some note that restricted tools for high tiers might be a jump for small businesses. We recommend it to organizations that need to work out quickly and do not employ designers.

Canva Features

Brand Templates

Canva Brand Templates provide shared designs for presentations, docs, social posts, and other content. Teams can lock logos, text boxes, and backgrounds while leaving other parts of the template editable. Custom templates can also be created from Canva’s professional template library.

Brand Management

The platform stores logos, colors, fonts, icons, imagery, graphics, and internal brand guidelines together. Brand assets can be accessed while creating designs and used across different content. Brand Controls can also limit the fonts, colors, content, and templates available for use.

Content Management

Canva provides shared folders for organizing branding, templates, and other content. Teams sort content by project or type and pin the items they open most often. Sharing then works at two levels, since a folder can go to the whole organization or stay with named people.

Productivity

Canva supports real-time collaboration through shared designs, live cursors, and activity selections. Users can add feedback, tag others, assign tasks, and share designs for viewing, commenting, or editing. Collaboration also extends to presentations, docs, and whiteboards.

Creativity Tool

Design approval workflows allow teams to encourage or require approval before designs move forward. Specific team members can be assigned as approvers, while feedback and tasks can be handled during the review. These workflows support design reviews within the same Canva workspace.

Excellent tool

Pros

Canva's recent updates have made the platform much simpler now, flexible and simpler to work with. I'm able to create a wider range of designs now and get a lot more out of the images I make.

Cons

One thing that still gives me trouble is sizing an imported image correctly when I'm trying to make a banner especially if the design was created outside of the tool first.
