Canva Reviews

“packed with features”

Pros

It offers a wide range of elements and features which is especially impressive for a free tool and there's also the option to upgrade if needed.

Cons

At times, it was difficult to design something that didn't immediately look like it was made in this tool.

“cost-saving”

Pros

Switching to it helped me cut costs by getting rid of my Adobe subscriptions.

Cons

It's been good overall so I don't have any complaints.

“tons of creative options”

Pros

There are so many features to work with even on the free plan. I do prefer the Pro version because it unlocks what feels like unlimited creative possibilities but the free tools have still never let me down when I want to make something really impressive.

Cons

Since I do a lot of designing on my phone, I've occasionally run into a glitch while editing fonts,random letters would show up that I didn't type or parts of words would suddenly disappear. It seems like those issues were resolved after a few app updates.

“I liked it”

Pros

Lots of different format choices available for the same project which makes it really versatile to work with.

Cons

A downside is that many of the templates are locked behind a paywall so you have to pay extra to use them.

“recommended from my side”

Pros

Getting designs done fast is one of the best parts of using it.

Cons

Does have some limitations when it comes to editing images and creating vector graphics.

“beginner-friendly”

Pros

It's very simple to use even if you don't have any prior experience.

Cons

A lot of the items aren't free so if you want access to all the features, you'll need to pay.

“It's good!”

Pros

Canva gives me a lot of flexibility with features like image enhancement, a wide range of style and formatting options, file conversion tools and even video editing capabilities.

Cons

Although it comes packed with plenty of tools and covers a lot of ground, most of those features don't go very deep. It works really well for general use but when it comes to finer details and advanced nuances, it starts to feel limited.

“all in one”

Pros

Works really well for creating marketing emails, office flyers, invitations and pretty much any kind of design you need to share with customers or coworkers.

Cons

Some of the design tools are locked behind a paid subscription which is a downside. That said, a lot of the free features are still quite good and useful.

“has a lot of options”

Pros

Having lots of choices makes a big difference and Canva really delivers on that. There are tons of templates and images available which makes it much simpler to create something polished and high quality. I also appreciate that other people share their work because seeing different styles and ideas helps when putting together your own design.

Cons

there's very little not to enjoy about it. It's genuinely a strong product. The only thing I wish was better is the document feature allowing more pages. I once made a document that went past 100 pages and it stopped me at that limit. I had to split the content into two separate documents to make it work. It wasn't a major problem but it would definitely be better if there weren't a page cap.

“effortless!!”

Pros

It gives me a ton of ways to design, decorate and create which is why I keep going back to it. There are so many different uses for it that it feels like the possibilities are endless. I also really love the templates because they spark ideas and make it much easier to figure out the layout.

Cons

One thing that still frustrates me in the software is lining up images on a page. Even a tiny movement can throw something out of place and then it no longer matches the alignment of the other images. I really wish there were better tools to lock images in position or make them match the exact same size and placement as the others.

“helps us daily”

Pros

I love it.. this tool lets me create all kinds of things for both personal use and business needs, from designing flyers to putting together printable products.

Cons

The downside is that if you're not on the Pro plan, a lot of the app's other features aren't available to you.

“creative for every skill level”

Pros

Works well for people with all kinds of skill levels and creative backgrounds so a wide range of users can get value from it.

Cons

A few of the editing tools are more difficult to use than others and they can sometimes distort the final result.

“cross-platform flexibility”

Pros

Being cross-platform is a big advantage because it lets me use the software from different locations and on a variety of devices without any trouble.

Cons

Con is that it doesn't provide many customization options.

“endless options”

Pros

Using it feels really simple and there are tons of features and options that let you create pretty much anything you have in mind.

Cons

I can't think of anything I dislike about it.

“polished graphics”

Pros

Its interface feels very user-friendly and the adaptive layout makes it possible to create professional-looking graphics without needing much design experience.

Cons

The customization features are a bit limited compared to other graphic design tools which can make creativity feel somewhat restricted.

“dynamic for social media”

Pros

Such an adaptive and dynamic app and it really helps a lot if you work with social media.

Cons

If you want to explore the more advanced features, you have to pay and the price feels a little high.

“Easy layout”

Pros

The layout is very practical and the platform feels adaptive and simple to use.

Cons

A downside is that you need to pay if you want access to more options.

“Incredible tool”

Pros

Canva has completely transformed image and video design into something much simpler. The huge variety of templates it offers for creating content is the best part.

Cons

What I've liked the least is how dependent the app is on an internet connection. Without internet, you really can't work and it also only lets you save projects in a limited number of formats.

“super easy to use”

Pros

Getting started with Canva doesn't take much effort and even someone new can pick up the software quickly. One of the best parts is the huge collection of stock images available to use without stressing about copyright concerns. I'm also impressed with their newer AI features which really push creativity further and open up more possibilities. It's a fantastic piece of software.

Cons

One part of it I'm not too fond of is the navigation panel since it can feel a little confusing at first for beginners. Another downside is that many of the better features and extras are locked behind a paid subscription. Also, the site can slow down a bit when handling larger projects.

“Crisp exports”

Pros

Using it feels very simple and the selection of templates, design elements and export/file type options gives me plenty to work with.

Cons

It does feel a bit limited when it comes to more advanced editing features.
