Canva Reviews

“top notch!!”

Pros

Canva has become a must-have tool for my marketing team. Compared with other design platforms, it's much more simple to work in and we can put together just about any kind of marketing material we need. Being able to order printed pieces directly inside the app has also been a big win for us. It cuts out the constant back-and-forth with local print shops and the pricing is competitive too.

Cons

Sharing files and collaborating with the team can be confusing at times. It's also starting to feel a little overloaded and keeping up with all the new features is getting harder.

“works well”

Pros

It's very user-friendly, comes with a huge template library, offers strong collaboration tools and gives really good value for the price.

Cons

A few features are restricted to Canva Pro which can be a bit frustrating.

“easy to use”

Pros

Really simple to work with and comes with an excellent range of templates to choose from.

Cons

There are so many template options that it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming to pick one.

“fantastic!!”

Pros

It's been really useful for quickly creating new graphics for my documents and presentations.

Cons

The downside is that exported files aren't completely compatible with PowerPoint.

“practical templates”

Pros

Everything feels practical and simple and there are lots of templates to choose from. I was able to make a fridge magnet for my daughter's birthday right here on my phone. I've also used it for school labels and it's been really convenient.

Cons

Moving files over to the PC and exporting them out of the tool can be difficult a lot of the time although it is still possible.

“easy to handle”

Pros

Creating polished visuals is a lot simpler with this tool, whether I'm putting together social media graphics or professional-looking covers for reports. It gives plenty of flexibility for placing text and graphics exactly where I want them and adjusting colors to match branding feels very user-friendly. The pro image library and ready-made templates are also a big time-saver when I need suitable images for a project or a bit of design inspiration.

Cons

A few parts still feel awkward especially the lines and arrows which can be dated and hard to resize properly in every direction. It can also take some trial and error to figure out how to add a border or frame around an element. The font selection is fairly limited and image adjustments and filters don't offer the same level of control you'd get from a more specialized program even if that type of software is usually less user-friendly.

“simple content creation”

Pros

It's so simple now to create content for the web or for print... it's simple and convenient.

Cons

Doesn't let you create vector graphics the way Illustrator does.

“user-friendly design”

Pros

This is a practical app and very simple to use which makes creating designs much more convenient.

Cons

I just wish more features were available for free, like image resizing and a larger image library although I understand the platform needs to make money.

“templates that actually help”

Pros

The standout for me is the vibrant template selection. Every flyer I've made with Canva templates has turned out amazing and the platform is very simple to use.

Cons

there's nothing I dislike about it. It's very user-friendly.

“simple to use”

Pros

It's very simple to use and there's a wide range of options to pick from.

Cons

What I liked the least was that the number of free options felt pretty limited in my case.

“helps with daily work”

Pros

Has been incredibly user-friendly and flexible and I end up using a wide range of its features every day. Since I'm not a designer, it really helps make design work feel more manageable and much more affordable.

Cons

My biggest complaint is that I didn't discover it earlier. At this point, I still haven't come across anything I'm unhappy with.

“all-in-one powerhouse”

Pros

Canva comes with templates for just about every social media platform out there so a lot of the editing work feels almost automated. Most of the time, all you really have to do is drop in your pictures or videos and that covers a lot of both image and video editing needs. It also goes far beyond just video editing which is a big plus. It feels like having multiple tools in one place, almost like Microsoft Word, Excel, Premiere Pro and Photoshop combined into a single platform.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about its performance but the Premium pricing feels a little too expensive for people within my demographic.

“Quick designs”

Pros

Designing is now very approachable, with thousands of templates, a simple drag-and-drop setup and AI tools like the background remover. It's ideal for creating polished, professional-looking designs quickly even without advanced design skills.

Cons

The free plan does come with restrictions on premium elements and when it comes to deeper customization, it's not as flexible as Photoshop.

“Im impressed”

Pros

It covers just about everything I need for graphic design so it feels like a complete one-stop solution.

Cons

Constant updates are fine in principle but they've also made the app less user-friendly when it comes to navigation and getting started quickly.

“Incredible”

Pros

Getting started with it is incredibly simple even if you've never created a design before. It comes with plenty of ready-to-use templates, fonts, images and graphic elements that make things look polished without much effort. I can put together posts, presentations and even print materials pretty quickly. It's also really helpful for team collaboration and having everything stored in the cloud is a big plus.

Cons

The free plan does come with a few restrictions so if you need more variety or advanced tools, you may end up missing some features. Also, larger files can sometimes take a bit longer to load.

“Brilliant results overall”

Pros

The interface feels adaptive and simple to navigate even if you're just getting started. There's a wide selection of templates for social posts, presentations and plenty more. The free version also includes a strong library of images, icons and fonts at no extra cost. Real-time team collaboration is another big plus and works really well.

Cons

A few of the more advanced tools are only available in the Pro version. It can also start to feel a bit slow when a design has too many elements loaded into it.

“flexible to use”

Pros

Being able to create your own designs is a big plus and gives you a lot of creative freedom.

Cons

Certain parts weren't very user-friendly and could get complicated at times.

“friendly design tools”

Pros

Canva feels very polished and comes with plenty of features and tools for graphic design and creating presentations has become more user-friendly and manageable. I appreciate that it gives you free days to explore and learn the platform before making a final decision to subscribe or buy.

Cons

I don't have any negative comments about it because it works effectively.

“rich features”

Pros

There's a template for just about anything with this tool and editing them is really quick no matter what you need to create.

Cons

Wouldn't say it is restricted to only certain purposes,it's just not specifically built for every type of use. Still, for the price and the huge range of assets it includes, it absolutely deserves 5 stars.

“so good!!”

Pros

Creating and updating creatives is really fast with the templates and I can drag and drop any asset right where I need it.

Cons

Canva feels fairly limited when it comes to photo editing and there are only a handful of filters available to adjust an image's tone.
