Canva Reviews

“template variety is impressive”

Pros

Free template are available for pretty much every type of content which makes it really useful.

Cons

The downside is that the number of free downloads for the templates you create is limited.

“standout visuals”

Pros

It is an excellent tool for creating eye-catching images for your brand classroom, sports or whatever else you need.

Cons

At times, it won't let you edit just one word in a text box. Instead, it changes all the words to the text you were trying to modify.

“perfect”

Pros

Using this has been very simple and the AI features are excellent for creating logos and other images which I've had the chance to test myself. Another thing I really appreciate is being able to change the format of documents whenever needed.

Cons

One thing I'd still like to see is Print offering a simple way to print color documents.

“AI is great”

Pros

Being able to build a website with Canva is a huge plus. It comes with a broad selection of customizable templates and designing posters, logos, business cards social media posts, videos and other graphic visuals is really convenient and simple.

Cons

Canva is a simple graphic design tool that covers all of my needs.

“amazing tool!!”

Pros

Working on projects with friends is really convenient. The picture editing tools and background removal feature are excellent. It makes the platform much more approachable for someone using it for the first time.

Cons

The draw feature is still fairly new so it could use a bit more improvement.

“features unmatched”

Pros

Using it feels very simple. The platform is adaptive, there are plenty of templates to pick from and it comes with lots of useful features for creating flyers, portfolios, applications and even handling website integration.

Cons

On rare occasions, it would crash and I'd lose data because my changes hadn't been saved.

“practical tool for design”

Pros

The convenience and the wide range of editing options are really helpful.

Cons

A lot of the editing features require payment.

“I like it”

Pros

Has a huge range of effects and templates.. and combined with the use of AI, it makes it feel truly one of a kind.

Cons

Up to this point, I really haven't run into any issues, the whole experience has been very positive.

“fairly priced”

Pros

Getting started with it is very simple and everything is laid out in a way that's simple to understand. We use the nonprofit account which makes it especially budget-friendly since it's free for up to 50 users.

Cons

At times, it can be a bit tricky to locate the specific stickers I'm trying to find.

“friendly interface”

Pros

This software handles most of our design work now, from social media graphics and flyers to store infographics and labels. It has completely changed how we tackle projects and the templates give us such a strong starting point that putting together polished designs takes a lot less effort.

Cons

One thing that still falls short is video background removal. It never really works properly and the result looks very pixelated with rough, unclear edges so we usually have to find other ways to get the look we want.

“useful for marketing designs”

Pros

Creating posters and flyers for marketing is definitely possible with it and there's enough room to be creative and come up with designs that catch the attention of your target audience.

Cons

The downside is that it feels pretty limited unless you pay for a premium subscription. With the cheapest plan, there's only so much you can actually do.

“great for creatives”

Pros

There are so many different things you can create in it which makes it really versatile to use.

Cons

I'd love to see a smooth pattern option added for more customization.

“design made easy”

Pros

It's a strong design app and the broad range of ready-made templates gives you plenty to work with right away.

Cons

Getting comfortable with the tools takes a bit of time and a lot of the elements are locked behind a paid subscription.

“office-wide document creation boost”

Pros

Creating documents and flyers across the office has been really simple and efficient.

Cons

Accessibility and collaborating on projects with team members could be improved.

“excellent features”

Pros

The tools come with really excellent features and work very well.

Cons

It would be even better if there were more free features available, such as image resizing.

“A great software!”

Pros

I can choose exactly which social network each one will be published to which makes creating posts is really simple.

Cons

Makes the creation process much simpler but complete beginners may still struggle a bit at first with the learning curve and deciding what to use.

“so convenient to use”

Pros

Works well for pretty much everything I need, whether it's for work, school or personal projects. It's the design platform I use the most and easily my favorite.

Cons

Every now and then I come across a template, clipart or other element that requires payment but it still does a really good job of offering plenty of free resources.

“its a fav!”

Pros

Canva has been a fantastic tool because it's so quick to pick up. I've worked with plenty of Adobe products but this is the first design program where I could jump right in and start creating right away.

Cons

It clearly focuses on being user-friendly and fast for most projects but that simpler set of tools doesn't offer the same level of power as professional design software when it comes to detailed, complex work.

“simple to use”

Pros

Getting started with it is very simple,everything feels simple especially the drag-and-drop setup. It's also really helpful that I can apply brand colors and keep things aligned with our visual style.

Cons

The graphs and charts tool feels quite limited. There's barely any room for customization and for example, you can't set the Y-axis to go up to 100 if your data only reaches around 60.

“templates are great”

Pros

Having ready-made designs to start from is a big plus and I can tweak everything I need, including fonts, colors, backgrounds and other special features.

Cons

I do wish the template selection were larger because there are plenty of times when I still have to build things more from scratch which ends up taking extra time.
