Canva Lets Be Creative
What do you like best about the product?
I have the ability to make expert graphics with little graphic design experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't collaborate on a graphic while someone else is working on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need so many graphics at work so this is a huge life saver!
Great online graphic design tool
What do you like best about the product?
The paid variation permits me to do numerous things particularly to gain access to countless images and get access to additional unique access to numerous countless complimentary pictures, illustrations, and design templates. It likewise consist of group performances, which permit group to interact and work together on online style tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only concern that I might discover that was a little bothersome was that when I downloaded my infographic in a particular format, the PNG icons I have actually submitted myself had a minor summary showing their background still in location
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Canva to create quick graphics for use on social media, emails, print, and the web as it can be a faster alternative to professional applications like Photoshop or Illustrator.
This is great for people who are not skilled in design, but have to create content.
What do you like best about the product?
I liked how easy it was to use templates and create beautiful designs without any skills. I am not a designer, but this application would say otherwise.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that the templates are not more customizable. I wish there were numerous versions of certain templates that would allow for more customization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This allowed me to design when I did not have creative talent present. I was able to create social content without the help of a designer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
USE IT! It is so helpful for those who cannot design but need to for specific projects in school or freelance work. It is also great for personal purposes, such as invitations and business cards.
A go-to option for something quick
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the sample text formatting that allows you to customize without reinventing the wheel. The user interface is easy enough and I appreciate the frequency in which it saves your work.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are many limitations to the graphic/object manipulation that someone seasoned can get frustrated by so it is truly a product when you just need something 'quick and dirty'. There are many free backgrounds, icons, and pictures but for the ones that you would actually want to use there are too many that require purchasing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva allows for me to throw something together for Twitter or a small graphic for internal communications to get the job done. The financial resources I have available do not allow for me to spend money on the graphic design so this works. It is great as a free resource overall. For someone with limited graphic design background and an audience without a critical eye, this product will be great.
Most Intuitive and Best Social Media Content Publisher!
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to manage and scores high in terms of usability. i have stopped counting how many times I have used this for urgent marketing materials and every time people get shocked with the quality of the output. You can survive producing great content without buying anything as lot of product comes out of box. the predefined templates are so good you often wonder what else you could have added here. There is a lot of font options which actually I used for the first time in their but later we also implemented the same in lot of other marketing materials as it was really adored by lot of end users. The team structure helps you content among certain team members and then share among them.
What do you dislike about the product?
The image search feature is not the best but in my line of work we often rely on proprietary images which we procure from external websites. A lot of times I fee like they should have some more GIF or some animated works which will help some type of materials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing materials such as banners, logos, event icons, tweeter posts, Facebook adds, linked-in covers and many more. The benefit is empowering users to do their task in their own way and by simply following company guidelines. Otherwise work like this attributed to a lot of graphic budget which involved a lot of rework and increased the cost multi fold.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use this product as pilot rather than replacing the old graphic team. See the response from user and than act on. There some type of need you need to rely on conventional graphic team
Simple yet fantastic
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to create customized posts targeted to the social media outlet I will be posting on.
What do you dislike about the product?
The design interface can be finicky at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva allows you to truly customize your posts so that your targeted audience is sure to notice.
Great resource, incredible price!
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is incredibly user friendly. It is a inexpensive tool that brings about a tremendous degree of solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is little I can say about Canva regarding disliking their product. I think their download options could be better for the images created.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva allows me to stay on top of our social media. The free or inexpensive artwork as well as the user friendly system make designing social media images fast and easy. In addition, the quality of the images is top notch which mean my social media postings are professional looking as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool for boosting social media content for your company.
Great Product! Highly Recommend!
What do you like best about the product?
Plain and simple, my social media presence improved as a result of using Canva. I was able to generate my own content and create my own material. It's easy to navigate and easy to learn how things work. You can create templates, upload images, add text and photos, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a whole lot of downside to the product - what you put in is what you'll get out. Most of the product is free, but to get the most out of it all, you have to buy a membership. Some of the images, layouts, and other features are pretty cool, but you have to pay for some of it (not a bad thing, just saying if I had to point out a dislike).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Once I started using Canva, I was able to create new ideas and content to put out on social media. I realized how important it was to have something different (as far as content), but consistency as far as design. I think a lot of people today want to see a picture or something simple and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Canva helps achieve that goal. My social media has become more professional in it's look and my engagement has increased as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Canva to other users. If you're struggling finding content to put out on social media, here's an easy, user friendly way to improve your social media presence.
great for do-it-yourself graphic design needs
What do you like best about the product?
The pre-existing templates make it easy for a small organization to produce quality-looking graphics in-house when needed. We still hire an outside designer for many projects, but for our social media graphics or items that need a quick turnaround, we are able to produce what we need using Canva. For someone with a design background, there's room to work outside of the templates to create from scratch - not as in-depth as using Adobe products but enough to get a quick job done. Also, using the business level subscription allows you to resize existing items you've created without starting from scratch each time - so you can easily use the same design theme and size for different uses (facebook, instagram, email header, etc.).
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like more fonts to choose from. And at times, I've tried to go back to use a template I've used before and it's no longer available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, we've been able to streamline and focus our design budget - directing the bulk of our budget toward "big-bang" items that require a designer and being able to reduce the amount spent on day-to-day small design needs that come up on a regular basis.
In addition, the turnaround time to get promo pieces out on social media has been shortened. Canta has enabled our Communications Coordinator to create quick graphics when needed, as we sometimes need to respond to current events on social media with an unpredictable and quick turnaround time. And it has enabled other staff (like myself) to create images for our promo needs to then pass on to our Communications Coordinator which shortens the workflow process as well.

Let your most "design savvy" staff member(s) give it a try and then let them introduce it to other staff.
Canva Creations for the Less Than Creative
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is a great tool to create marketing material because there are presets for almost everything you can think of. If you need to make a Facebook cover photo, the dimensions used for a facebook cover photo are readily available for you to select. For Facebook Event Cover Photos, because the dimensions are different from that of a regular profile, they also have a preset specifically for that as well. There are also a variety of different templates that are both free and for sale which provides users with a diverse range of options.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform might not be the most user-friendly in that many things are quite rigid and not flexible. As such, it may be time consuming to create your masterpiece. For those who are skilled with Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/CreativeCloud, it may be way more efficient to opt for those options as they provide more flexibility once you have a vision in mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating marketing collateral that aligns and fits perfectly with whatever you want and wherever you want due to the diverse range of preset dimensions- no need to go out searching!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canva is great if you're looking for a free platform to create marketing collateral but does not offer you the flexibility needed to create advanced and highly-customized material.
