    Canva Makes Design Easy for Anyone

    Date: Mar 14 2025
    Summary

    Canva has been amazing for me. It's helped me create professional-looking graphics for my social media, presentations, and even invitations. I don't have any design experience, but Canva makes it simple. It's saved me so much time and money. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs to create visuals.

    Positive

    I love how easy Canva is to use! Tons of templates, great for social media, presentations, anything. Drag-and-drop is a game-changer. Huge library of photos and graphics. Makes me feel like a designer even when I'm not

    Negative

    Sometimes the free stock images aren't quite what I need. And some of the advanced features are only in the paid version.

    A very complete design tool for any type of company.

    Date: Dec 26 2024
    Summary

    Within my company, it has been relatively important to keep this platform implemented as the main service for editing images, since we constantly need new images and new designs for the creation of content, within our web development service, that is why our web development area has been able to diversify the way in which it creates content for all of our clients from different companies, thanks to this design platform, we have been able to create an image from scratch or create more striking images with more striking colors, and insert images in each of the content that we generate for clients. Overall, I think my experience within this platform has been very good. I have been very comfortable using Canva because it has helped me establish a much more creative and professional design for all of our clients who trust our content creation and Landing Pages. It is a very complete tool to take your company's design to a much higher level. I really recommend it for any company and to enhance the design tools of any work area.

    Positive

    When I use Canva I feel like I'm using a completely perfect platform to support the design of any type of image or any type of presentation, the main feature that I love about this platform is that it not only serves to make images, but it also allows you to make presentations, create personalized images, create templates, brochures, invitation cards and many other things, it is a platform that does not focus only on one editing feature, but expands to allow design tools to have greater general utility. Another thing that I liked about this platform is the artificial intelligence that it has implemented, artificial intelligence is perfect, it serves to remove any type of background from an image, it also serves to design a new logo, in an automated way, it allows you to create presentations from scratch based on what the user requires, it also allows you to create a complete image. Thanks to artificial intelligence, this function is really one of the most important to develop good designs. Canva also has very complete customization tools, as it allows you to clone images, edit images, colors, general designs and much more. The design tools offered by this platform are very complete and allow you to create an image from scratch or edit an existing image in just a few minutes. I consider this to be a very complete platform that provides very valuable design tools.

    Negative

    One of the main things that I did not like about this platform is the high consumption it has on any type of device. Even though its general operation is quite good for editing or creating an image from scratch, I must emphasize that this platform consumes a lot of resources from a computer. In this way, I do not recommend that this platform be used on devices that do not have the exact requirements or that it is a device that does not have very good features, since in this way you will not be able to enjoy great fluidity and accessibility when creating or editing new images or presentations. Another thing I didn't like is that most of the design features and templates are only available in the pro version, which makes the free trial pressure quite inefficient and of little help to new users. The free version does not allow access to most of the templates for a presentation or imitation card, as well as the functions to remove the background of an image or access professional editing tools, this is only available in the Pro version.

    Canva is the best all the time!

    Date: Jan 03 2024
    Summary

    In general: Canva must provide a free trial plan that has all the features so that the user gets to know all the site’s capabilities, and this attracts more designers.
    Providing and updating a large and enormous amount of ready-made templates to be suitable for the increasing number of users.
    Improving the image generation service with artificial intelligence to compete with other sites.

    Positive

    The Canva website is easy to use and simple for all users because no design experience is required due to the presence of pre-made templates with drag and drop features.
    Canva provides wide flexibility to designers because it has a large library of templates and design elements such as graphics, images, and fonts. This facilitates the process of designing graphics such as social media designs, presentations, posters, infographics, or marketing materials.
    Canva allows multiple users to work on the same project at the same time, which makes it easier to work with a team that designs group projects.
    Canva makes it easy to publish my creations across many different platforms.
    Canva can be accessed from anywhere because it is a cloud platform, so I can access my designs and work on them remotely from any device connected to the Internet without losing any stage of the design or templates.

    Negative

    Canva offers limited options for making some modifications to the design, which is a hindrance for advanced designers.
    The free plan in Canva is brand-restricted and allows few specific features, so the designer in the free plan cannot experience all the features and tools on the Canva website.
    Although there are many templates in Canva, they are not enough for the huge number of users, whose number increases daily. Therefore, they use the same templates.

    A very complete design platform for any type of company.

    Date: Nov 12 2024
    Summary

    It is important to highlight the great effectiveness that Canva has had within my company, and how important this platform has become to be able to carry out all kinds of work within the company. We currently offer web development services within our company, which is why it is very important to have a design platform and incorporate our company to be able to offer a much more optimal design in the Landing Pages that we create. If I talk about the general experience that I have had within the platform, I must assume that the way in which I have been able to operate various designs for my company has been really fantastic. In addition, that platform has also been key and has played a very important role in the design that we use for most of our advertising campaign. It has played a very important role in the development of digital marketing for my technology company. In addition, I must also highlight that I have had a great community when designing within this platform. It has really offered me each of the functions that are necessary to have an optimal and professional design within any type of company. I am completely satisfied with the results obtained and the way that this platform has provided me to generate designs in a very simple way.

    Positive

    One of the first features that I liked about this platform is the following:

    1- With Canva I can have a design of images and any type of digital format online, the online platform works excellently, and it is one of the things that I did not like, its general operation is quite basic, and that helps that users can quickly get ahead of each of the functionalities that are within it, in addition, the web version offers all the functions available within this platform, without any type of limit, this means that you can edit an image from scratch, create all kinds of brochures, create a new banner from scratch, and much more, that this web version provides any type of online functionality so that you can create a complete image. I love the ease with which I can create images and the fluidity with which I can do it within that online platform.

    2- I also liked the storage system that this platform has, because I can save each of the designs that I am currently making as deleted, but it also allows me to store the designs that I have previously made within my company. This is fantastic, since I can create a design from scratch that I store within this platform and need to store it within some cloud storage, in addition, storing these designs within Canva allows me to share each of these designs with my work team within the platform directly.

    3- Another thing that I liked is the application for mobile devices, due to its great effectiveness and its excellent synchronization with different versions of Canva, since I can make a design from my computer and transfer this design and view it on mobile devices, in addition, from my mobile device, using the application, I can create a design from scratch and obtain the same functions that are being offered within the version for computers, this is fantastic, since the version for mobile devices does not have any limitations with respect to the general design.

    Negative

    There are several things that can be improved within this platform, one of the things that I have not liked so much, have been:

    1- One of the main things that I have not liked is regarding the free version of this platform, the paid version does not have any kind of problems, it really does not have any kind of limit on the number of functions that you can access by acquiring a paid plan, however, the free version is quite limited, you will not be able to remove the background from predetermined images, in addition, you will have limits on the number of templates you can access, you will also have limits on the number of presentations or designs that you can make within this account. Another negative characteristic of Switzerland is that it limits the image quality that you can apply for a download of some type of design, the platform automatically limits the resolution of its images, and you will not be able to increase that resolution if you do not acquire a paid plan.

    2- Another thing I didn't like about the artificial intelligence used by this design platform, since on some occasions I have asked for very specific things, and this platform or this artificial intelligence, within this platform, has not been able to meet my requirements. On very few occasions I use the artificial intelligence provided by this design platform, I prefer to do the designs manually for my company than to use this artificial intelligence, which is not precise with the things I ask for my designs.

    Good but a little overwhelming

    Date: Dec 14 2024
    Summary

    Although the application possesses a user-friendly interface and performs optimally, it requires further refinement in its overall direction. A comprehensive and user-friendly tutorial is essential to enhance the user experience.

    Positive

    A wide range of options are available, including the ease of uploading images and the capability to download your work.

    Negative

    The user interface can be overwhelming due to the attempt to accommodate a diverse range of users simultaneously.

    Very easy to use platform to optimize the design of a company.

    Date: Apr 05 2023
    Summary

    Using this platform has become a very notorious solution for our financial company, because we have created a large amount of advertising thanks to this platform, we have been able to create various very striking images to use as an advertising mechanism for our clients, in addition, Thanks to this platform we have been able to create presentations and slides in a much easier way. All the information is very valuable for our presentations, which has made it possible for us to have much more outstanding success in our company. For us, using Canva has become a very important solution, we have been able to create many presentations within all sectors of our company, in addition, we have been able to work together, create presentations together, create striking images and much more, really the Image design on this platform is quite good, you can create an image from scratch, customize the overall design of that image, add new shapes or insert eye-catching texts to an image and much more. This platform is really a fairly complete tool, in conclusion, I am very satisfied with the design results obtained within this platform, I really feel comfortable using it to generate designs for my company.

    Positive

    Canva is a platform that helps me perfect the way we create all kinds of slides and also create various images, with the help of this platform we can not only create slides from scratch, but we can also build an image, add shapes to an image, add new colors and new contrasts to a specific image, it really is a quite complete design tool that helps you to do any type of task related to design, you can create a slide, create a presentation, create infographics and you can also create images from scratch, the platform helps you to insert new objects in a simple way, it also allows you to insert text fields to any image that you are creating, in addition, you can modify any image that you want to insert into your presentation, it has a tool to edit images online. One thing that I really liked about this platform is that it has the necessary tools to be able to have all the elements centered correctly, the platform allows you to organize the elements and it has a built-in ruler so that you can enter each of the objects when necessary inside of the template or the image that you are creating, in addition, this platform has an excellent application for mobile devices which also allows you to modify images, create presentations and many more things, this application is very innovative, because it offers the availability of all the functions that are inside the version for computers, this application can be used to create images from scratch and you can also continue your works or services that you started from your computer.

    Negative

    One of the negative aspects of this platform is how complicated it is to use, since the platform has many tools to create infographics, create presentations or create slides, in addition, it also has a section to edit videos or create them from scratch, for which I find that in general, this platform is quite difficult to use, because new users will always present various doubts regarding the functions of this platform, since it has many design functions. The second negative aspect of this platform is in relation to the video editor, this video editor does not have any function to automatically save the progress of an edition, in addition, the rendering process of each video within Canva takes much longer than in Canva. any other platform.

    Simple tool to create good designs.

    Date: Jan 04 2023
    Summary

    In general terms, it has saved me a lot of money for me who is not a professional in design, this was very useful for me since the cost of a graphic designer when taking out the account annually would be expensive, however, with Canva it has come out for much less than the costs you already had when you had hired a graphic designer. I'm not belittling designers as they do a good job, I'm just saying for small businesses that don't have a lot of resources to pay for a designer to do what can be done in Canva, plus it takes a bit of practice to be able to obtain good designs since not everything will turn out perfect the first time.

    In my opinion, Canva has been a good solution to maintain a design standard for my company in all aspects, both in the printing of my company's notebooks or diaries, business cards, including the shirt of the employees. With Canvas I have also solved the problem of video presentations since they are more practical when you do not want to be live inside a presentation or you want to send it by email.

    Positive

    I have the availability to add any image, video, gif or any element for my designs from its wide gallery. This is essential to be able to increase productivity since I can make designs from scratch without needing to know anything about graphic design and also I don't need to do everything from scratch since with the Canva gallery I can have everything in a matter of clicks, it is also that it is very varied and they add more and more multimedia files, this allows my files not to be so repetitive than using the gallery for free or using my own repository with few multimedia files.

    I have resolved to be able to work collaboratively with my team thanks to the Canva for Teams plan, with this I was able to add users to help me make certain designs without having to be in the same place. With this I have tried making video calls while discussing with my team about how the final design would look when working collaboratively. It is very easy to know who is adding elements within the layouts and also who has moved certain elements within the canvas.

    I liked that you can create designs for printing, it is very good that it has templates for multiple things such as notebooks, company cards, shirts, jackets and even coffee cups. This platform allows me to give a preview of how the final print will look once the designs are finished so I don't worry about the final results before the prints but just go to the top right and select the print preview depending on the template I selected.

    There are many templates for the different posts of the different social networks that exist today, even if it is a video for a social network, it is possible to create it thanks to the fact that Canva also has templates for the different resolutions of the different social networks. . With the help of Canva, I can establish a ratio of the different social networks, such as the 9:16 radius for Instagram stories or its different dimensions established for the images in the posts. In addition, with this platform I not only maintain a good radio appearance in the images, but I also maintain the style of my company by being able to save custom templates to use in future posts.

    Negative

    The video editor is very good, however, it is very limited when it comes to wanting to add more professionalism. I recommend this editor for people who want to make basic videos for presentations that don't require so many details other than some transitions, text, sounds, images and other videos, with cutouts and other basic stuff. For more professional audio effects and more details such as focus and movement of elements are not available in a deep way. I'm not saying that Canva has to commit to adding more features to its video editor, I'm just mentioning it as a negative in case someone looks for Canva's video editor as a professional alternative and it really isn't. It can be similar or more basic than Clipchamp so you have to consider what to edit with the video editor of this platform and what not.

    There are certain images that lose their quality when they are reduced or expanded too much. This was annoying because Canva doesn't seem to render images as well as an image editor would. This happened to me several times when I wanted to make custom designs with supposedly good quality images from the gallery of this platform, the solution I have given to this is to work with only vector files from the Canvas gallery or from my own gallery so as not to lose quality when making designs with custom resolutions so that they do not lose their quality when resizing the elements.

    Using the Canva Android app is very limiting and constantly crashes, I don't like this as I often use my tablet for multitasking and I want it to be as complete as possible and not crash every time I add multiple elements to my designs . This is cumbersome as I have to go to my computer to finish the designs since I always sketch on my tablet and then do the designs in desktop Canva, but I really want it to work well within the Android app.

    Customizing the text is very difficult, as there is a performance drop when entering the text box editor, even adding a text box seems like the whole platform is going to crash. When I want to change the font and there is a lot of text everything starts to work very slow. To be able to edit a text I suffer and I don't understand why since when I am adding high quality images this does not happen, even when I add or edit a video everything happens as if nothing, but with the text it is a total suffering.

    Canva is one of the best platforms for image editing today.

    Date: Jan 09 2023
    Summary

In a simple way, anyone who does not have previous experience in editing and creating images or design tools can use this platform and have great success. This platform is very easy to use, in addition, its availability and its compatibility with any type of device helps you to take this platform anywhere, you can be on the street and carry out all kinds of designs in a simple way, in addition, you can be inside the office and use the version for your computer, in all versions of mobile devices and computers that platform behaves excellently. My lovely experience that this platform has offered me for about 2 years, since this platform has helped me to create really interactive videos for my company, in addition, it has allowed me to access a quite extensive library where I can obtain all kinds of objects, audios and images that I can insert into my designs.

    Positive

    Canva in a very complete platform to be able to design any type of image, how it is a fairly complete design and editing tool, which allows me to edit all types of videos in a simple way, the first thing that left me delighted about this platform is the ease of use, this platform has tools that are very easy to use, in addition, video editing, although it is quite complete, does not have tools that are quite complex to use, all the tools can be used by any type of user who has or does not have previous experience like this will be able to have a fully complete video editing without much effort. I have loved this work tool a lot, mainly because of its wide availability on all types of devices, I love being able to use canva on my computer, either using the web version or a downloadable version for my computer, in all versions of canva . This platform has performed excellently, providing me with complete editing within my mobile device as well as within my computer.

    This platform has left me extremely fascinated, because it has also provided me with a fairly extensive list with all kinds of photos, shapes, objects, and audios that you can insert into each of the decisions you make within this platform, for example, I can be editing some kind of video and insert all kinds of shapes within this video thanks to the list or library that this platform offers me, in addition, I can also make use of any type of audio that this platform offers me, just by dragging it to my video how to make a inserted immediately. Another of the features that I like about this platform is that it allows me to create all kinds of images for Instagram posts, in addition, it also allows me to create custom images for some Instagram stories. This has helped me a lot, since I have been able to create stories featured within my company Instagram account, adding images that are made within this platform in a simple way, the stories created within this platform are quite complete and have an optimal design. In addition, with this platform I can also create all kinds of collages from some photos, in addition, I can also completely modify images How to modify the contrast, modify the colors and many other things, this design and editing tool allows me to completely modify an image, modify opacity, or add different colors or filters to images.

    Negative

    There are really very few negative things to mention about this platform, since the vast majority of its functions help you to have a design and an optimal decision for any type of image or video. Mia quite liked that this platform has a high consumption within the computer and within the mobile device, I really do not recommend this platform for mobile devices that do not have a good capacity, since they will have problems when saving a video that they have edited, in addition, they will also be slow when it comes to edit some type of videos insert many objects or audios Within this video, in addition, they will also be slow if they are doing some type of editing of images that have a high resolution, that is why I recommend that you use a device and a computer that is in suitable conditions to support this platform, since its consumption is quite high. One of the other things that can turn out to be a bit of a negative about this platform is that even though it has a ton of features that allow for video editing and all sorts of image editing, as well as creating images from scratch, this platform is quite expensive, compared to other image editing platforms, I still consider this platform to be one of the most expensive, it has really high plans.

    Simplify your graphic design needs and boost your productivity.

    Date: Apr 23 2023
    Summary

    As someone who works in a fast-paced environment, I am constantly looking for ways to streamline my workflow and increase efficiency. That's why I chose to use Canva for my graphic design needs, and it has been a game-changer for me.

    Canva's powerful editing tools are also a standout feature. These tools allow me to crop, resize, rotate, filter, adjust, animate, and more. For instance, I can easily crop an image to fit within a specific area or add filters to create a particular aesthetic. Additionally, Canva's brand kit feature is an excellent tool for maintaining consistent branding across all my designs. I can store my logos, colors, and fonts, making it easy to access and use them in all my designs.

    Another significant benefit of Canva is the content planner feature. This feature enables me to schedule my social media posts in advance, saving me time and effort. I can plan and create content ahead of time, ensuring that I have a consistent presence across all social media channels. Additionally, Canva's print feature is a great way to order high-quality prints of my designs, ensuring that they look great on paper.

    Canva also offers a learning hub feature that offers free courses, tutorials, tips, and inspiration. This is an excellent resource for users who want to improve their design skills or learn more about the platform's features. I have found these courses to be informative and engaging, and they have helped me to create even better designs.

    While Canva does have some limitations, such as the lack of advanced vector editing features and the requirement for an internet connection, these are minor compared to the benefits it offers. Furthermore, Canva's affordable plans for more advanced features make it accessible to businesses of all sizes. Whether you are a small business owner or part of a larger organization, Canva is an excellent tool for creating professional-looking designs quickly and easily.

    I highly recommend Canva for anyone looking for a user-friendly and cost-effective graphic design platform. Its vast collection of templates, powerful editing tools, content planner feature, and learning hub make it an excellent choice for professionals in any industry. With Canva, you can create stunning designs that help you stand out from the competition, all while saving time and effort. It is an invaluable tool that I continue to rely on daily for my graphic design needs.

    Positive

    As someone who uses Canva regularly in my work, I can confidently say that this platform is a game-changer for anyone who wants to create beautiful and professional-looking designs without the need for advanced graphic design skills. The following are some of the benefits that I have experienced while using Canva:

    One of the most significant advantages of Canva is that it is free to use for basic features, and it offers affordable plans for more advanced features. This means that anyone can start using Canva without any financial commitment and upgrade their plan only when they need to access more advanced features.

    Another fantastic benefit of Canva is its vast collection of templates, fonts, images, icons, stickers, and other design elements. This extensive library of design assets provides users with an almost endless array of options to choose from, allowing them to create unique and customized designs that stand out.

    Canva also boasts a simple drag-and-drop interface that is easy to navigate and operate. This means that even people who have no prior design experience can quickly and easily create stunning designs using the platform.

    Furthermore, Canva offers powerful editing tools that let you crop, resize, rotate, filter, adjust, animate, and more. These tools allow users to make precise adjustments to their designs, ensuring that their designs look exactly the way they want them to.

    One of my favorite features of Canva is its brand kit feature. This feature lets you store your logos, colors, and fonts for consistent branding across all your designs. With this feature, you can ensure that all your designs align with your brand's style and messaging.

    Canva's content planner feature is also worth mentioning. This feature allows users to schedule their social media posts in advance, saving them time and ensuring that their social media presence remains consistent and engaging.

    Additionally, Canva has a print feature that lets you order high-quality prints of your designs. This feature is particularly useful for anyone who needs to create physical marketing materials such as brochures, flyers, or business cards.

    Canva's learning hub feature offers free courses, tutorials, tips, and inspiration. This feature is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their design skills or learn how to use Canva more effectively.

    Negative

    As much as I love using Canva, there are some disadvantages to the platform that are worth mentioning. The following are some of the drawbacks that I have encountered while using Canva:

    One of the most significant limitations of Canva is that it requires an internet connection to work. This means that if you don't have access to the internet, you won't be able to use the platform. This can be problematic if you need to create designs while on the go or if you're in an area with limited internet connectivity.

    Another disadvantage of Canva is that it does not have a spell-check feature. This means that users need to manually proofread their designs to ensure that there are no spelling errors. While this may not be a significant issue for some users, it can be a time-consuming process for those who create a lot of content.

    Canva also lacks advanced vector editing features, which may be a drawback for more experienced designers. While the platform does offer a wide range of design tools and editing features, it may not be sufficient for users who require more advanced editing capabilities.

    Furthermore, Canva does not have an offline editing mode. This means that users cannot access their designs without an internet connection, which can be inconvenient for those who need to work on their designs while traveling or in areas with limited connectivity.

    Another limitation of Canva is that it does not have a word count feature. This can be problematic for users who need to create content that has specific word count requirements. While it is possible to use external tools to check the word count of text within a design, it can be an additional step that takes up valuable time.

    Canva's free version also has some limitations. For example, it does not allow resizing templates, which means that users may need to start from scratch if they want to use a template in a different size. Additionally, the free version does not remove watermarks from premium images, which may be an issue for users who want to use these images in their designs without the watermark.

    A professional tool for inexperienced people.

    Date: Mar 12 2023
    Summary

    Canva is a great essential resource within my work since I can have a low-cost design tool that is useful for the vast majority of things that are handled with respect to design. But, instead of having to learn complicated tools and how a design should be executed for social media as a personal brand or print shop like documents, brochures, calendars, etc., all this can be done much easier with Canva without having to spend through a cumbersome learning process. All this in addition to a low cost, both for individuals and for small teams (no more than 5 because the price would vary and the cost of the subscription would increase), which, unlike design tools for professionals, Canva does the job that I want to correctly without having the experience required for this type of situation in which a design needs to be carried out without the knowledge.

    With this I do not want to detract from the work of graphic design professionals, but sometimes it tends to be expensive to hire someone to do a certain design. such as, for example, a post for social networks. In this case, I can choose among the large number of templates and make my post to my liking and without having an excessive expense for each design made since everything has been paid for with subscriptions.

    Positive

    The ease with which this platform can be used is incredible, I do not require experience in any field related to graphic design, so I was able to easily function in Canva without having to perform many actions since everything is based on the drag and drop methodology. drop, I feel this is very accessible to any user in practice when creating any design. This is important to me, since being very intuitive I don't have to worry about having to learn technical tools to be able to add a simple image or text, this being a nuisance for a person with no design knowledge. In addition to the fact that if you want to make more personalized "modifications", it is possible since Canva has some advanced tools to be able to give more touch to the designs, so this platform is not a simple design creator, but it is also You can achieve great things with just a few clicks and having a wide variety of intuitive features.

    Creativity in Canva is endless and even more when you have a large number of elements such as photos, video, audio and illustrations. It also has a large number of templates for any type of design you want to achieve with this platform, so there are no limits to what you can create with Canva. It also has a wide variety of fonts that if you don't find one that suits the style of the design that is being created, you can simply import custom fonts without any problem or limit, of course you have to have a subscription for these cases.

    Collaboration on this platform is very complete, it has a wide variety of features that allow several users to create a design simultaneously and everything can be seen in real time, so there will be no problems when working as a team. You can leave comments that allow them to be read by the whole team in case you leave a suggestion or want to correct certain aspects of the design. It is also very secure, so there will be no intruders creating and editing the layouts and someone else can mess with work that has been done, only team members who have already been invited by the team admin can make changes to it. the invited designs, so you will not always have access to all the designs since this can be managed from the administrative panel of Cana for teams. In addition, only the administrator is the one who can give access to each of the different designs that are being created.

    Negative

    Canva's pricing for teams is perfect, but that opinion I have about it fades when they are teams of more than 5 people. In individual plans, both monthly and annual, the price of teams of no more than 5 people is accessible. But as more members are added, the price per person increases (which should be the other way around) so it doesn't seem logical to me to pay more for a plan for a group of people. In a small team no more than 25 may still be slightly more profitable than using an individual account. But I don't think it's convenient to have to pay for more than 50 members, ending up paying similar to what an individual person would pay monthly. I'm pretty much getting it that Canva is focused on low prices for small teams. The only thing that would make me pay a high cost for adding more than 5 people to this platform is the amount of multimedia files that Canva has, otherwise the investment must be carefully measured because it can be very expensive when paying for a subscription.

    It requires a stable internet connection because the first time an internet connection is lost, Canva will have problems showing elements that you want to add, so you will have to restart on some occasions. In addition to the fact that Canva cannot be used offline since if you do not have internet access then it simply will not work and it will hang, causing some changes to not be saved and losing the changes that have been made. It is disappointing to have the possibility to download this platform for both mobile phones, Windows or Mac and that it cannot be used without an internet connection, so it is not worth having the Canva application downloaded on any device anymore that can be easily used in the browser. Unless they already update the applications and allow Canva to be used via Offline.

    A complete online graphic design tool

    Updated: Jun 06 2023
    Summary

    I regularly use this program for my teaching sessions and course materials. Canva is also highly effective for having my students design communication products based on their research work.

    Positive

    This online platform allows to create customizable graphics, printed documents, flyers, brochures, infographics, magazines, professional presentations, and many other communication materials. The program operates on a drag-and-drop system and provides a wide range of templates, frames, icons, photos, graphs, designs, and other accompanying tools, making it easy and fast to create various graphic products. Additionally, the sharing feature enables collaborative work on creations. Canva allows to produce high-quality visuals, boosting brand image and productivity. Moreover, this software saves time and money as it enables users to create their own materials without the need for a graphic designer. Finally, Canva is a user-friendly, intuitive tool that is easy to use even for beginners and offers a good price-quality ratio for its paid version.

    Negative

    The program has many useful features, but unfortunately, they are either paid or limited, which is unfortunate for those who require a highly advanced editing tool. Additionally, it is necessary to obtain the paid version to remove watermarks, which is a significant drawback. Lastly, customer service is not easily accessible.

    An optimal way to create new images from scratch.

    Date: May 14 2023
    Summary

    Canva has perfected the way we design new things for our company, we use Canva constantly to design new banner ads, images for our social media, new posts and much more. Canva has been an important platform and with incredible effectiveness in the design of banners, we have created banners to advertise in new campaigns through mail, in addition, Canva has allowed us to design images from scratch for our publications, images on any subject, with any color and with any size, the great thing about this is that Canva allows us to modify the download size of each image, this in order to use that image for specific destinations, I can download an exact image to be published on my social networks or In my Instagram feed, Canva gives me custom dimensions depending on the purpose of my image. In general, I think that Canva has behaved appropriately and has allowed us to create many images while saving time, since it is a platform that allows us to work together, create new images with collaboration between colleagues, edit new videos, edit time frames videos and audio tracks and much more. Canva is complete for designing any image for any medium.

    Positive

    Canva is the ideal platform to be able to have a complete design of various types of banners, generate new covers, generate interactive images and much more, it really is a fairly complete design platform that helps to perfect the design of any image without previous experience. Next, the positive things that this platform has.

    1.- The first positive feature that can be found within this platform is the logo creation function, since this function allows you to create a new professional for your personal brand or your new company, this function allows you to create the logo and at same time create covers, interactive images, create vectors and much more. This function is very important to create various things from any logo, you can generate advertising banners, brochures and much more. It is important to highlight that this function allows you to create a logo from scratch, you can customize the catalog design, change colors, change the size and you can even add shapes and objects to each logo.

    2.- Another function that I loved is the collage creation function, I like this function a lot since it allows me to obtain it from the application for mobile devices and also from the version for computers, this function allows me to create a fairly complete collage at From any number of images, I can create a collage of five images or many more images, I can add the number of boxes I want to each collage made. In addition, this function also allows me to modify or customize the general design of each of the collages, to add my own and more attractive design.

    3.- The third feature that I liked about this platform is that I can create all kinds of invitations, business cards or invitation cards, this platform allows me to create a totally personalized invitation card, with different striking drawings and offers me the ability to easily add the date, arrival time and much more to each invitation. The invitations within this platform are done very easily, thanks to the drag-and-drop editor I can create an invitation in a few minutes.

    4.- Canva allows you to edit videos within its platform, this function is essential and despite the fact that it does not offer such professional and complete video editing, I still consider that it is an essential function and that it is useful for those people who are just starting out in video editing. Video editing in Canva is basic and very easy to use, you can edit videos of any number of minutes, render new videos without spending a lot of resources, create new animations in videos and much more.

    5.- Canva allows me to create interactive and collaborative images, it allows me to create and edit images together with the collaboration of new people, this is fantastic because I can design new brochures or advertising banners together with the support of my colleagues. Another thing I liked is that Canva allows you to fully edit photos from your mobile device, you can edit new photos from your gallery, change contrasts, change the scale of each photo and even its colors, editing from the mobile device is too complete with Canva.

    Negative

    There are several negative things that can be found when using Canva, these negative things are:

    1.- When using Canva, you must have a good device, be it a good computer or a good mobile phone, since the platform consumes a lot of resources every time it is going to process a new edited image, in addition, it also consumes a lot of resources at time to edit a new video. Also, every time you add new objects, new shapes and new animations to each image or presentation, the consumption increases even more within the platform, so it is recommended to use a device that can support this high consumption.

    2.- The free version of Canva is quite limited in most aspects and sections within the platform. Currently, you can't get as full access to Canva's templates when using a free version, you will only be able to use 5% of all available templates, for example, if you want to design a new brochure or a new presentation, you will need to use templates very basic and with very normal designs, you will also have limitations on the number of animations that you can use for the videos that you are editing. I really don't recommend this free version because it doesn't provide as comprehensive access to image and video editing and creation.

    It solves many problems, especially when creating content for social networks.

    Date: Feb 27 2023
    Summary

    It is a very powerful tool that anyone who is dedicated to design can use it, regardless of whether they are a professional or a person who wants to make their personal brand within this platform without having any knowledge of design, it is clear that if you have more knowledge on the subject regarding colors and fonts will have good results, but with Canva templates you can achieve many things without having any idea of design and still get good results with this platform. The AI makes the job much easier when creating an image without having to compose it in a traditional way, I am aware that it is not perfect, but I found it wonderful that with a simple text you can get very close to the idea that You have thought of an image and that with a large number of hits you manage to create an image.

    Positive

    * I found the idea of being able to integrate AI into Canva interesting, since it allows speeding up the design of any creation within this platform without having to consider making images, since that requires time that can be implemented to finish any design made in more quickly. Canva. During my experience with the tool to convert text to images, I can say that if such elaborate images are not needed, the AI will be able to create images with a fairly high fidelity with respect to the inserted text, however, not everything is rosy and there are times when the AI does things that don't make sense or go very well with the requests it's been given to create an image, so it can take several tries to get a good result. For the rest, and in general, it does a good job of allowing images to be created out of nothing from a simple text, thus being able to capture an idea more quickly.

    * I love the great variety of designs that can be done in Canva since it has many templates depending on the purpose or what the design to be created is for, since there are no limits to this platform. This platform is a good tool for anyone starting out in the world of design, as it allows you to create everything from print designs, for example, business and identification cards, shirt designs, to resumes and magazine covers, which is very useful since that in programs for professionals such as Photoshop you must have more advanced knowledge and more when it comes to powering the designs in examples that preview the final work or design. So Canva is ideal for this job since you can have previews immediately and you can make the respective changes in case something does not look right or simply make any modifications before printing. For the world of digital marketing there are also templates for the different social networks since each one of them has its dimensions depending on whether it is for a post, cover or profile image, there is no template that escapes this platform.

    * Video editing within this platform was one of the features that I liked about this platform as I thought they only focused on creating image layouts, however it is also possible to create videos for social media and gesture as well They have templates that allow you to work with the maximum resolutions of each social network, so there will be no problem with compatibility and video quality when you want to upload a video to a social network. Videos created for a social network can also be adapted and transferred to the dimensions of another, obviously it will have a difference in whether it is horizontal or vertical, but that would depend on the creator and what he wants to show.

    Negative

    * The text editor is very limited compared to other graphic design tools, it is very simple and cannot be formatted much, although I can make the text have a different shape than usual, which is to be able to curve it and in addition to that animations can be added to the text, this does not mean that it is the perfect text editor for this type of design platform. I understand very well that Canva is oriented to be able to make designs very quickly and without so much effort since it does not have a very complex interface, however, they can add a little more advanced functions that allow the user the freedom to tweak the text as desired. They are the separations or width of it, and also an endless number of tools found in other design platforms. There is no harm in having more tools than just changing the font, colors, orientation and curve, so that on special occasions certain tweaks to the texts will be needed to avoid having to apply certain techniques so that a design remains as the user intends to do.

    * I can't use Canva without an internet connection and it's a bit frustrating because if I want to design something in an environment where I don't have an internet connection, I won't be able to do more than just sketch on paper so that after having the internet I can translate my ideas to Canva as there is no way to use this platform offline.

    * The performance of this platform can be a problem for some users as both the web version and the Windows version tend to freeze if you don't have a computer with decent features that can afford to use Canva and another platform or software running at the same time. time, in the case of the version of browsers you will simply need a computer with enough RAM that at least allows the browser not to be saturated by the resources that Canva needs since it has often happened to me that the tab freezes and everything is lost for "lack of memory". So, it must be considered that the person who will use this platform to carry out any type of design with this platform does not have problems to be able to complete their designs without the browser crashing at any time.

    It is a good tool for non-professionals in graphic design.

    Date: Sep 24 2022
    Summary

    I have been able to create multiple brochures, prints, business cards, posts for my social networks, presentations and even design coffee cups for the company. I have not needed a professional designer at all to carry out all these works mentioned above and much more, I do not want to say that Canva degrades the work of graphic designers, but rather that it makes it easier for those who do not know how in my almost and want use a cheaper and more practical solution than hiring a designer. Thanks to Canva I did not have the need to do everything on my own, but rather we divided the work with others in order to be able to finish the design we were making more quickly and also have feedback on how the final image should be. It should be noted that this platform greatly helps marketing through social networks by being able to create more striking, quality and professional content, they are not just simple images, but with Canva everything is more elaborate, with a very simple platform I have been able to achieve many things without the need to know expensive and complicated design tools that make me waste time just learning.

    Positive

    º It has a large number of templates that you can use, if you don't know how to start you can choose what your image is intended for and choose the type of image you want to make within the creation of your design. Whether it is for the thumbnail for YouTube or a cover or post for Facebook, all this helps you to automatically select the dimensions and characteristics of the place where you will put your design.

    º The gallery of images that you have within this platform is very wide, being able to find almost everything you need without having to buy an image on another platform, without having to make them from scratch and without having to search for it in Google to be able to can it in my designs.

    º It is very complete to be able to make any type of design, I cannot compare it with Photoshop, but I can say that it has a large number of functions that I can use to create posts, banners, thumbnails, resumes, presentations, etc. Anything I can think of I can create. I can also add shapes, text, upload my own images, etc. to help complement my design in case something is missing and I have that missing on my computer.

    º Its platform is friendly and simple, that's why I can mention that anyone without experience in design can work within this platform without getting lost in the attempt. I like that everything can be done with drag and drop without requiring keyboard shortcuts since everything is visually placed so that in a couple of clicks you can add or edit the elements that will make up the image you are designing.

    º I can work collaboratively in case of having to face large editing projects. I can include my entire team so I can have help when I need to do a large number of designs or edit a single design with multiple people so I can get better feedback on how they like the final edit to look.

    Negative

    º I would like it to have an offline mode in some way since this platform is entirely online, so if you don't have an internet connection, you probably won't be able to carry out your design ideas. It would be nice if it could be installed like any software for Windows or Mac and thus allow you to continue creating or editing a design without the need and obligation of being able to have an internet connection.

    º It does not have shape cutouts, I have tried everything to make that type of cutout and not just the aspect ratio cutout. I would like to be able to have that type of function or an option that can cut freely and be able to cut the cuts that I want with the shapes and measures that I want and thus make it more practical to cut an image and paste it in some design in which I am working.

    º To be an easy-to-use design platform for any experienced or inexperienced user, video editing seems to exceed that ease as its editing features are too limited. It doesn't even measure up to Microsoft's old Movie Maker and knowing that it has very basic functions, however, the Clipchamp app for Windows is much more complete and easier to use than the editor that comes with Canva.

    º It has a limit with the size of the image that can be uploaded, apparently it does not work very well with large image sizes and it is annoying to have to go to another design platform just to be able to reduce the image size, wasting time. It could be useful if it had an internal size converter that allows you to do this type of thing without having to resort to external platforms to do this type of work and thus I do not need to leave Canva since all my design can be done there.

    º I would like the icons or vectors to be ordered according to their classification and not only show me a bunch of images in the results which I have to search for one by one, making the creative design process more tedious by having to search for something similar that I need to put inside my designs.
