Seriously the greatest thing.
What do you like best about the product?
I am an artistic person but not a graphic designer. Design technology freaks me out. That's why Canva is so flipping fantastic. You can get in, create something beautiful, and get out in a matter of minutes without any need for Adobe skills.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the limited number of free stock imagery available. I'm on the paid plan and it still requires me to pay $1 or more for some custom graphics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm creating social media and blog graphics, along with editing images to different specs. It saves me time and money that I would've spent on a designer.
Great software for those with limited design experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like the multitude of sizes, designs, and templates that Canva provides. I also like the ease of customizability Canva allows for. I have been able to create simple yet stunning social media posts allowing for increased engagement with my social media audience. I really like the infographic template because it allows me to create awesome educational materials for me to use when working with the public on educating them about what my nonprofit does.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like if the brand kit allowed me to provide more information to those that are collaborating with me on projects. I would also like if they allowed for more sizes to be printed through Canva. I believe they only provide about four different sized items to be printed at this time. It would also be very nice if they had a feature to create some type of video content, I would love to do all this through Canva instead of having to pay for other services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has helped extensively with the marketing of our brand as well as in the design and production of postcards, brochures, business cards, and social media posts. Another major problem we have solved is avoiding having to hire a graphic designer given the small budget of a newer nonprofit organization. I also like that it allows for designing through the mobile app if I have an idea while away from the computer, I can throw something together on the app and then refine it on the computer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pay for the full subscription, it is worth it and pays itself back so quickly.
Easy to use web-based design resource, perfect for marketers.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how simple the program is to use and how easy it is to implement your own brand assets into it. Even as an avid Photoshop user, I often found myself going to Canva instead for how simple it was to create and use templates, as well as look at and get inspired by some of the pre-existing templates and how information was formatted on them. The amount of different templates, free assets, and the inclusion of the ability to create animated GIFs and web ads makes it a dream for users not particularly design-savvy.
What do you dislike about the product?
There wasn't anything I particularly disliked except for the fact my coworkers suddenly thought themselves to be designers and used it to generate ugly & off-brand content and uploaded it without approval from me. As much as I appreciate programs like these for existing for smaller brands that might not have a dedicated designer to generate their visual content, integrating it into a company like ours made design look so easy and let my coworkers undermine my position.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the time, we were generating a custom image for every social post we generated, which could be around 10 images a week. We wanted them all to be on-brand, but different enough to be compelling. Canva allowed me to go in and create the 10 images fairly quickly, as well as upload the assets needed for each specific design and reuse them as needed with ease. It also let me export each week as a .zip which made my life so much easier.
Quality software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to choose between posters, and different presentation styles. I think the suggestions for design are useful, but that it's great they offer blank templates so you can make it your own. It make my poster presentation successful and interesting to the audience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that the images cost money, which are the same ones you could just download from Google. The costumer service is also unprofessional and had to contact.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva helps make presentations and interactive posters easily. They can be make professionally for a product or topic that I need to present.
I use canva for alot of marketing supplies.
What do you like best about the product?
You can create anything you can think of. The best part is if your creative levels are low, Canva has so many templates to use and create into your own. We use Canva for open house flyers for our realtors. Flyers for our events. Invitations to everything. I have even customized birthday cards.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the better images are the ones you have to pay for. I also dislike that when I have to print the image created, this is always an added white boarder around the flyer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't need to outsource to make our marketing material to look professional and we don't need to wait and it can be create right away when needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With low experience in graphic design, this site could change your marketing material at a great price!
Canva is a great tool to *look* like you know graphic design
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is a great tool to *look* like you know graphic design and in reality you have no idea, but the templates they provide allow you to look like it! I love all the variations in sizes-- presentations, social media posts, email banners etc etc They are all formatted in the right settings. I love how many texts, photos, icons, backgrounds, colors etc they have available. it is so user friendly
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to pay a small fee to upload brand guidelines, but I find it worth it! I have seen some companies post and I have thought to myself "that looks like a Canva template" which isn't great... It is not going to be as high quality as a designer but the cost is SOO much better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No one on staff is a graphic designer and this cuts down the cost of hiring someone. We have realized that we can have more engaging social media with posting quotes as images and sharing events as images through Canva. People are more drawn to images and Canva allows us to do that which is wonderful!
Create original content for your social networks.
What do you like best about the product?
With canva I can manipulate my images, I can add texts, elements and others, I can say that being a web application is very powerful and you have many options to design, another advantage is that it is available for Android and iOS devices. .
Among the best canva options, the ones I like the most would be:
It has many templates to choose from.
It's free, although the best elements and templates have an additional cost.
The changes are saved automatically.

What do you dislike about the product?
Being an online software has many drawbacks, since it can not be used well if you do not have a good Internet connection, I can not access the channel in any other way than the web or the mobile application.
As for the tools, I would like them to be more advanced, since the clipping tool can only be used rectangularly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With canva I create the advertising content for social networks, since I can work easier and faster, it also allows me to create an excellent poster and logos.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep in mind that canva is not a very advanced editor, this tool is ideal for creating quick designs that do not require many details.
Love love love! Create stunning designs with minimal effort
What do you like best about the product?
The elements, templates, and designs available in Canva is second to none. That combined with the graphic design tools of changing colors, opacity, sizing, etc. makes this tool completely invaluable for me as a content creator.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly I have no complaints to speak of! Even the free version of Canva is quite robust. I've not experienced glitching. The only thing I have had issues with is that saving things as certain sizes greatly affects resolution, but that is to be expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to create eye-catching content with the least amount of time, and the greatest modern appeal. From proposals, to Instagram posts, Canva helps us with all of it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't worry if you can't use high-end graphic design software like Photoshop etc. Canva truly is all you need to make your business - or personal (party invites! business cards! neighborhood flyers!) materials - look professional and beautiful.
A simple and capable browser-based graphic design tool
What do you like best about the product?
I can just open up a web browser and start designing lots of different types of media. The tools and functionality are surprisingly straightforward to use. All of the essential tools including resize, rotate, background colors and options of that nature are included in the tool menu. We can save files in common file formats including jpeg, png and pdf. We can even upload vector files such as svg and eps. There are many good quality templates for common media like flyers, business cards and brochures.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when I look for templates, there are so many that it's hard find one that fits what I'm working on. It got easier as I got more familiar with their library, but it would be nice to have more advanced search capabilities and filters. Another knock on Canva is that we can't save vector files even though we can upload them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used Canva for quick jobs where I really needed to get quality print materials for events done as soon as possible. I have very little graphic design experience and was able to use Canva's core tools to create sharp print graphics and documents for several events. Instead of having to search online for stock images, I was able to use the images available within Canva without additional cost or royalty restrictions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canva can be a great go-to platform when you need to put something together quickly or want to have a large selection of graphic resources and templates at your fingertips. I think many people don't realize that Canva can be used for more than just standard graphics. It can also be used for business documents such as resumes and reports.
Easy to use and visually appealing
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are templates to use and you can create unique designs
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the good images are a dollar each
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing and promoting a name, idea, or story
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is great for social media platforms
