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.

Powerful Marketing and Brand Design Tool
Date: Dec 20 2021SummaryI really like Canva because I can create flyers and event posters on the fly. I can create them on my phone or on the desktop. And best of all it's free for the most part. I have used Canva for many years and it's very easy to use and fits my needs extremely well and at no cost.
PositiveSuper easy to create marketing and brand flyers even if you are not a great designer by nature. There are so many free templates to choose from so it makes creating them quick and easy. There are many sizes and styles to ensure you can upload the correct dimensions to your social media apps.
NegativeI wish there was a way to co-edit with another person without having to export the file and email them. Also sometimes, the better looking templates are on the premium plan so from time to time, the template you need you may need to pay for.

Very good designs but too slow an editor.
Date: Feb 07 2021SummaryMy general experience with Canva in my work sector was poor, from 1 to 5 I would give it a 2, because this platform did not allow me to develop the slides fluently. The web version that Canva offered me was quite slow, it also presented lag when I inserted more information or when I inserted more images to the slide. Canva was replaced by the "Prezi" platform in our company, because Prezi offered more job guarantees and the Prezi slide editor offered us more fluidity when developing any slide.
The layouts Canva gave me for my slides were really cool, but the layouts weren't much use as I spent hours making a slide due to how slow the web editor was.PositiveCanva was the first slide deck we started using in our industry. One of the things I liked the most about this platform is that it offers a lot of variety when it comes to templates and fonts. Canva is able to provide the user with a large number of very attractive fonts, which give a different touch to each slide that is being made. The most interesting feature that I noticed in Canva is that this platform allowed me to work as a team, and to be able to make the slides with the support of the colleagues I wanted, they could modify the information of a slide and I could also do it at the same time.
NegativeCanva was quite an interesting platform, and although we used it for a very short time, I consider that it has many factors and features that need to be improved to optimize the user experience. During my experience with this platform, I noticed that the "drag and drop" editor is very slow compared to other platforms, this web editor is quite slow and caused us to take a long time making the pending slides. In addition, Canva did not have a desktop application, which made it even more difficult to make the slide from a device or form the computer version to obtain greater fluidity. I believe that a downloadable application must be created for Canva to be a profitable platform.

Amazing software for style illiterate like me
Date: Jun 19 2021SummaryHonestly, I’m a huge fan of Canva. If I used it more often, then I would probably upgrade to the premium subscription, but the free one is sufficient for me and my limited use. Highly recommend
PositiveAmazing flexibility within the tool for creating different designs and logos or posters, Instagram stories or more.
NegativeIf you don’t want to pay for it, you can still use it really well, but you don’t get the best logos and templates and built-in features. But that is to be expected for a freemium model software.

Professional Quality, But Easier
Date: Jul 19 2021SummaryAs a professional graphic designer, I utilize Canva all. the. time. While it's not as powerful as the "gold standard" desktop programs most designers utilize, it's pretty dang good. I save so much time by using the templates to get started on things like posters and flyers that I would normally spend 3x as long designing from scratch. I like that I can save all my brands' colors and logos and search through them easily. Super handy program!
PositiveThe large variety of built-in graphics and elements is great - there are so many options for clip art-y elements to add to your designs, many of which have customizable colors. The templates serve as a great starting point for almost any project.
NegativeMy only complaints are fairly nit-picky things. Using the arrow keys to nudge objects moves them a little farther than I would like, it's not quite precise enough. I wish I could place guides on my document. It would be nice to able to have nesting groups, like grouping two text boxes together and then grouping that text group with another element.
