Easy for even non art majors!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the templates that Canva provides you with. I just scroll through the list and pick out the template that I like. Also, they have a lot of fonts that I really like. Most of the fonts aren't seen on Microsoft or Google products. They also have a lot of icons that you can add like stickers.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the times when I go through the list of the templates, the ones that I like the most are the ones that I have to pay off. Sometimes they will make me pay for stickers, which is kind of ridiculous.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to create posters for the undergrad and graduate students (or even faculties) to come and listen to speakers. The previous posters were created on word document or powerpoint. They looked very boring and uninteresting. With Canva, I was able to make posters that looked like they were created by a graphic designer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create more free templates. I would add more fonts as well.
Great online platform
What do you like best about the product?
It's so, so easy to make beautiful designs. And, if you have the time to work a little harder, it's easy to create something pretty spectacular.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that I can't change the size of my projects. I don't like how some shapes that I think are basic cost money. I also just ordered business cards from a canva design - it was easy to do, but they came out the wrong color.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media, graphics for emails.
Great for simple projects
What do you like best about the product?
Canva makes it so easy to come up with a graphic or invitation that looks nice and professional. They have a ton of free templates and elements, and as long as you can work within those, you will be good to go. They make it super easy to download high-quality versions of your work on .pdf, .jpeg, and .png so you will be able to print or use your work on the web, no problem. It is virtually impossible not to come away with a nice-looking graphic, even if you have zero experience in graphic design.
What do you dislike about the product?
As far as customizing the templates in Canva, you can be fairly limited. As long as you only use the template and elements native to their site, you won't run into any issues. However, if you have to incorporate specific logos (like I do) or other elements, things can start getting tricky. It doesn't always agree with outside elements, and the simple structure of it can become frustrating as you realize how limited you are. You are going to come away with a graphic, but it's going to be a Canva graphic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My business didn't have the budget for a graphic designer, so I took over the role, with very little knowledge of some of the traditional programs like Photoshop or InDesign. I've been able to make Canva work for me so that we haven't needed to hire a graphic designer, and the graphics always look very nice and very professional. Realistically one could use Canva with no graphic design experience and be fine, just as long as they didn't need too many customizations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely try it out. In the event that Canva hasn't been able to accommodate my logo specifications and customizations I've been able to download incomplete versions of the design and then add in the logos I needed on more traditional graphic design programs like Adobe Photoshop. Even with super minimal experience with this, I've been able to make it work just fine, and in most cases, this has been easier than struggling to make Canva do what you want it to with outside elements.
Amazing Website
What do you like best about the product?
It's basically a free online version of Photoshop but much easier to use. Very user friendly with a lot of free images available to use. Their paid features are worth the money as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I can say that I dislike about this website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Canva, quickly designing images, was hard to do. Now it's done with ease.
LIFE CHANGING!
What do you like best about the product?
I LOVE Canva - it's so user-friendly and I've used it at multiple jobs now. It's extremely versatile.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one peeve I have with Canva is that you aren't able to search templates. Once you've chosen what kind of layout you want, it'd be helpful if I was about to search for "Halloween" or "Christmas" instead of scrolling down all of the templates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If we need something done on the fly - I used Canva a lot instead of going through our designers - it's fast and it gets the job done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest getting Premium if your company allows it. I was at a company that paid for Premium and I definitely see the advantages of that now that I'm a company that doesn't pay for it.
Easy to Use Design Platform
What do you like best about the product?
I love Canva for its professional looking designs, templates, illustrations and more. You don't have to have a graphic design degree to create something for your business or even personal use! This is great for implementing a team into your designs, with share and edit features. You can create something wonderful in a matter of minutes with this website.
What do you dislike about the product?
The server for Canva sometimes crashes and stalls, creating a lull in the saving process or making it difficult to access your files sometimes. I wish there was like an "offline" server where you could download your existing files to export and use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva is great for mass creation of a graphic. With its magic resize tool you can create a social media graphic for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest with ease. It for sure can help you save time and money! The Canva for Work platform is worth investing in for the additional features it provides, but the free version is great as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it time to figure out the flow of design and the tool bar on the side. You will get the hang of it with practice. There are a lot of tutorials online with tips and tricks for Canva. I recommend checking those out as well! There is a large community of Canva users that have figured out shortcuts and more for the website that are helpful to review. YouTube tutorials are the way to go to check out the visuals and understand the process a little bit better!
My wonderful experience designing in Canva
What do you like best about the product?
There are innumerable advantages and favorable factors that I find in applications such as Canva. I discovered it a year ago, and I loved it. It has very dynamic factors, thousands of prefabricated templates that each person can customize and modify to their liking and according to the convenience and individual need. The elements are very diverse, updated, very well manufactured and very cutes. The variety that exists is undoubted and the freedom to use it in each template or blank design is great. Another of the most important advantages for me is the possibility of sharing my designs created both in the Canva network and in my social networks such as Facebook, or email. That is summed up by saving time, because I can send my creations directly from the Canva application. Its online version makes it a very convenient platform to use, in addition to the extremely easy to design and create content, tools absolutely at hand, nothing complex and beautiful color palette.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although this platform represents a great help for me because of its great advantages when it comes to designing, I can not leave aside the disadvantages with which I constantly find myself. the main one is the cost of the elements, although they are beautiful, very dynamic and with incredible diversity, it is true that the largest number of items are payments, and each one has a cost of $ 1, if we take into account that , maybe, according to our design, we need more than one paid item, it is usually a big cost to make simple cards, because designers usually do a diverse number of daily jobs.
In addition, if we modify a little the established format, when downloading, and perhaps, print designs, the quality is usually a bit reduced, despite the fact that the platform looks very sharp and with excellent quality.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are innumerable benefits that Canva has given me in the workplace. Above all, for the considerable amount of templates ready to be customized, I can create new designs in a matter of minutes, next to my client and facilitating the work to 60%. My clients are very happy with the results and I can easily modify them according to what they want.
Highlighting the extraordinary quality that they have in the typefaces, although, it does not have a thousand types of fonts, but the ones that it has are of sublime quality, great application in any design and very beautiful.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendations remain intrinsic in the rest of the writing. Lower costs and allow more freedom when adding elements in already established designs, will greatly help to increase the members of the community of Canva and enrich each day more each design
The best graphic design software for newbies
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use for those who have little experience in graphic design. It has lots of ready to use designs for those who do not want to create something of their own.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many font options. Also, gets buggy all the time when I want to change one part of the text to one font/color. If you want different fonts and colors, you need to create a separate text box - inconvenient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create promotional materials at work with Canva.
Decent graphics software for small businesses
What do you like best about the product?
They have great templates and make it easy to create lead magnets, social media posts, and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphics often look pixelated when you download them. I’ve heard it is due to being on a free plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media graphics, PDF booklets, presentations
Powerful, with a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
I like best that I can create exactly the size I need for a certain ad, banner or document. That said, the templates they have are the sizes most often needed, and that is a big time saver.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could search for art in the same "family:. If I find a good illustration in a search for "archery" that I like, it would be nice to be able to see ALL illustrations that are the same style, so I can EASILY add an owl and a plant in exactly that style for an ad for camp, for example. It is possible to do this, but takes a LOT of scrolling now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to create flyers, ads, and social media posts daily. Canva is a big help.
