Making designs within this software is great and it's a pretty quick process with no lag.
Date: May 20 2022SummaryThe negative point I mentioned above about Canva was not a factor that will affect our experience directly or exponentially, so I still think my overall experience with this shower was fantastic, I'm not complaining about using it within my company, Each and every one of our employees use as their main means to make designs, in addition to other employees also have the need to make Vanessa for advertising or for a specific email, they have been able to do it with the help of this magnificent software. This software works in an unlimited way, you can make brochures, banners or slides without worrying about any limit, The amount of storage space that cama in the cloud offers is fantastic and this helps us to store all our design in the cloud, so we save plenty of space on our computers. We will continue to use this great platform as it is helping us build fantastic designs. It is also important to mention that our process of adapting to this software was a bit complicated, we did not understand very well how to use each of the templates, we also did not know how to insert each of the forms that they offered us, however others spent two weeks using He answers it normally, we were not able to advance all the functions and currently we carry out design without any problem.
PositiveWho wouldn't like to have a system where you can make different layouts, presentations, slides or brochures all in one place. All these features and much more is what Canva offers, One of the main things that positively caught my attention is that this system is able to offer me a large number of pre-designed templates for various already positives and brochures, it also has templates to make banners , all these templates have a fairly proportional and unique design, a design that you will not find on any other platform since they are original. The wide variety of templates that Canva offers help me build some pretty eye-catching slides. Another of the positive things that stood out during my experience is that it is a fairly light software, when inserting information in the design sheet, the software responds very quickly, it does not have any type of delay while I insert the information, in addition when a design has a lot of information to load this software does not present any type of delay either. Last but not least, the application for mobile devices works wonderfully, it works in a similar way to other image design software, so to use it it is not necessary to have previous experience, its use is quite simple and any user will be able to adapt to its functionalities without any complexity. Despite being an application that has quite a considerable weight, its general operation is magnificent, it provides a similar operation to the experience obtained from the computer version and the web version. Much of the functionality of Canva was developed in a positive way during our experience, this helped us to design several images Iván is for our company and for our advertising campaigns.
NegativeThe negative point that I have to mention about Canva is not regarding the functions, since as I previously mentioned all the functions behave wonderfully and this allowed us to make innovative designs, however the complaint I have is regarding the system of billing that has Canva. We have a monthly subscription for each employee individually, and we have noticed that at the time of billing it is not done automatically, we have to do the billing manually within the software. The billing system of the Chamber currently does not work perfectly, on several occasions we have had to carry out the process manually and this is a rather tedious process. I hope you can resolve this issue as soon as possible because when the automatic process is not done, our subscription stops and does not allow us to make designs with access to premium features.

NegativeThere is a learning curve to learning all of the features. Once again, it is easy to use, but if you truly want to use all the features provided you have to learn by just using and exploring the platform.

Making designs has never been so easy and fast.
Date: Feb 25 2022SummaryThe benefits that I have had with the help of Canva are very varied, it has served me for many things in my work sector. Canva is currently being used by all sectors of our real estate company in order to help make slide or presentation designs more streamlined. In our sector, Canva has successfully helped us create brochures for clients, every time we are going to sell a property, we hand out brochures to clients where they can learn more about our services, in addition, Canva has also allowed us to advertise In our company, create banners and advertising to reach more audiences on the networks, create satisfactory designs for customer advertising. We are satisfied with the results achieved with Canva, it is a very bold software, it needs to improve some things in its web version but I still consider it to be a very good option to make designs without having much experience.
PositiveCanva is our secondary platform for making presentations, slides, and making all kinds of collateral. One of the things that I liked the most about Canva are:
- Canva has a wide variety of templates for all kinds of occasions, these templates have very innovative designs and are applied to all the pages of the presentation that is being made. In addition, the templates come integrated with different fonts that help to give a better view of the slide, the fonts of the letters are different in each template.
- It has a highly optimized autosave system, I have never lost any type of information thanks to this autosave system that is capable of saving all the information that I insert, every time I insert something new or make a change, my presentation is automatically saved.
- When I make advertising designs such as banners or advertising images, Canva allows me to download them in very good quality and quite high resolution, which has helped me maintain this quality wherever I transfer these designs. Quality is one of Canva's strongest points.
- Canva allows me to increase the quality of any of the objects or images that I insert in my presentation. This is fantastic, it has an AI system to improve the quality instantly and have a better presence.NegativeOne of the main problems that I have faced during my experience with Canva were:
Read More...
- The online video recorder is not as functional as it seems, this function is very poorly optimized. When I make the recording of my face to insert that video in the presentation, the video takes a long time to be processed by the platform and this causes it to take even longer to finish the slide. It would be better if after recording the video, you can insert it right away without waiting so long.
- Canva's web editor is not that functional. I recommend using Canva for mobile or using the app for desktop, you will get a more complete experience. Currently, the web editor takes a long time to load the data of a slide, every time a new element is inserted, the web becomes a bit slow, also, when there are many elements on a slide, the browser can crash at any time.
- Customer support is very scarce, on the web there is no email to contact directly with someone in charge of helping customers, currently the only option for support is a phone call. It would be better if there was a live chat. -

Excellent design tool that allows you to perform many functions at the same time.
Date: Dec 09 2022SummaryCanva has made it possible for us to have a good design tool, previously we made our slides in Microsoft PowerPoint, however, the way those slides were were not to our liking, since they had a rather old design, for which we agreed to replace that platform with Canva. We do not regret having made that choice, since we are not sorry that we are currently using the platform, on the contrary, we are very grateful due to the great results reported so far, it is another way that has allowed us to create optimal designs for all types of advertising campaigns, in addition, we have created the company logo, we have designed all kinds of images to incorporate in the documents or brochures that we distribute right to these clients, in addition, it has also helped us to show advertising images for each publication that we notify you of social. I really loved this design bouquet, within it, I think it has a lot of potential for any company and allows you to create very good quality slides with an easy-to-use editor.
PositiveCanva is a magnificent service to improve the general design of any company, with the help of this platform you can create various presentations, it would make positive and from scratch and you can also create infographics, edit Videos or create animated images. The things I liked about this platform were:
1.- The main feature that I liked is that it has a great variety of dishes available so that all users can give a different tone to the presentations or slides they are creating, in addition, there are also templates available for the design of all kinds of wolves, and there are also templates for infographics. Without a doubt, the templates help a lot to maximize the design of what is being done, the templates offered by this platform are very professional, although the vast majority of available templates are only available in the paid version.
2.- This platform offers special plans for companies, and offers incredible discounts when many users of your company will use this design platform. I have loved the great plans that this platform offered me, since we have integrated up to more than 300 users within this design platform and we have obtained an incredible discount for paying this platform annually, I really loved the very affordable prices that it offered me.
3.- For computers, this version helps a lot when it comes to editing all kinds of presentations, since it is much more fluid than the web version, in addition, this version for computers allows you to work together with the collaboration of your colleagues, with as only use the plan for companies, you can work together thanks to this application download it for computers, or using the version for mobile devices.
4.- This platform also has an integrated image system or image library, I really love this library because it offers me a wide variety of images depending on what I'm looking for, this library has a built-in search engine, which is capable of to show all kinds of results depending on what you write in that search engine, there is a great variety of images without any type of copyright, therefore, you can use these images freely for everything that is being designed.NegativeThe main criticisms that I have witnessed about this platform were:
Read More...
1.- The mobile version should be much more used, since currently it only offers image editing, slideshow creation and presentation creation functions, but video editing is not available, within this application it cannot be removed no video, moreover, you can't enjoy creating animated images either, I find this app has very good and professional features for you to design presentations, but it is very necessary for the video editing feature to be implemented, it is very necessary to have this function on the phone.
2.- The web version is not so optimal, since the more you are inserting information into the presentation or slide that you are making, the web version will become a bit slow. I consider that this web version is suitable for those people who are learn to use this platform, however, I do not recommend it at all if you are designing a presentation with a lot of information or editing a video with a lot of quality or elements.
3.- Another of the negative things is that this platform is not suitable for anyone, nor for any computer, the consumption of the version for computers and the web version is quite high, especially if you are editing some type of video, since that at the time of rendering that video when you have completed it, this rendering process consumes a lot of computer resources, therefore, you will not be able to use it for other activities while this process is being reviewed. I recommend that this platform only be used on computers that have a suitable capacity. -

Buy the full version - it's worth it!
Date: Nov 10 2022SummaryTotally worth the money if you're going to do anything at all with design for digital media. It has a lot of options and functionality and makes it much easier to create complicated graphics than you think.
PositiveThe free version is amazing if you're making quick images, social media posts, etc and working by yourself, but getting the full version opens options for sharing projects with a team, saving images and colors and projects that you can all work on or work from and gives you a lot more options for more complicated projects. It's worth the money if you're making images for websites or email headers.
NegativeIt takes a little while to learn to use all the features (you'll pick up the basics quickly) and when to best use them and the "training" isn't great.

Easy to use and lots of powerful features
Date: Oct 12 2021SummaryVery good product, use it for many of our design needs that aren't overly complex. Can make nice looking assets quickly with minimal work.
PositiveThe software is very easy to use as compared to things like Adobe Acrobat / Indesign, which we use heavily in our business. Intuitive interface, great assets and templates available on free or paid plans. Really allows you to create impactful visuals quickly and with limited design skills.
NegativeOn the paid plan, when resizing artwork from one dimension to another there is still tweaking that is needed to adjust artwork. Most of the additional image assets in the platform are from third parties, so be careful using it if you're looking to trademark any designs, that's not possible with their stock imagery. Also wish they had more options for color themes in their templates that work separate from the core color theme.

Love this site - and visit often!

PositiveCanva can do so many things. I use it for all my graphics and have literally made thousands of images over the years including super cute business cards that everyone loves plus very precise covers for my books both in paperback and audio book format.
NegativeNot a lot really. Only thing I'd like to be able to do that I currently can't is resize existing images. I have to start again if I make a mistake with my sizing. Also a "save as" feature might be useful so that I can use old images as templates without losing the original on Canva.

PositiveAs a small nonprofit, Canva has helped us achieve a strong brand without having access to a full time graphic designer. The fact that nonprofits can use Pro at no cost is incredible!

Create all kinds of designs or images with good colors.
Date: Feb 23 2021SummaryThe general experience I have had with Canva has been really good, this platform has been able to help me create all kinds of designs for all kinds of occasions within my work sector. With Canva I have been able to create very attractive banners, with perfect colors and with a good order of information, and I have also been able to create images that illustrate the work that I have to deliver. Imaging in Canva is perfect as it has a wide variety of colors, templates and shapes that can give you a better view of the design that is being made.

NegativeOne of the negative factors that I have noticed in Canva is that when a slide is made on this platform, it is not possible to download it, the only way to present that slide is to do it online, opening the Canva website, otherwise it cannot be presented. I would like this software to have the ability to download the slides, as it would be more accessible and I would not have to open the web to present my slides.

Canva is the fast and convenient solution for image designs
Date: Feb 21 2021SummaryWithout being an expert in design, I have been able to give life to my publications on the social networks that I administer, it has also helped me to be able to choose the best colors since it has color palettes and according to the use or theme I can choose automatically this suits my design without so much fuss. With Canva I have been able to have a place where my design can be exported in different formats and presentations to be able to use it in almost any place where my company is present, be it a poster, flyer, mail, etc. All this without the need for a design background as this platform makes all of this look professional.
PositiveWith this tool I can create excellent posts for my social networks, flyers, letters, etc. With a wide gallery of elements that help to create what you want without having to be a professional in graphic design. It has good templates that help to edit images according to what you want to create, this tool is very useful to quickly have an idea of what you want to create. I can add gifs or animations that look perfect with email banners to make them look more professional visually. Finally, I love that it has an almost infinite gallery of any image, shapes, gifs, stickers, etc., and also that every day they add more content so that nothing is repetitive and everything is fresh and new.
NegativeTo be honest, I have only had one problem with this platform and that is that when making or modifying a design within the mobile application it tends to slow down at certain times, making it slower to be able to perform, for example, a correction to me picture. Another disadvantage that can be seen (but it is not my case) is that the free version is quite limited based on templates, formats and also the object gallery.
