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.

Game changer for small business design
Date: Dec 11 2020SummaryCanva has become my default software for all things donor facing in our non profit. It's makes it so easy to create and customize print and web materials. It puts incredible powerful tools in your hands at a great price point.
PositiveCanva Pro has so many templates, photos, and design elements built in that even the most amateur user can create professional looking marketing materials at a fraction of the cost of hiring out their design work.
Using Canva not only lets our non profit create new beautiful materials, it lets us update those materials for the web or print quickly and to collaborate with other team members.
The access to millions of searchable stock photos included with Canva pro is a huge value add. The subscription price compared to expensive design software is excellent.NegativeMail Merge is a weakness if you are creating business documents through Canva. You can make great looking letters, but you're limited in your download options to pdfs, and image files of many formats. If you need to customize those documents using MS office products, you'll have to come up with a creative work around.

Make beautiful looking graphics easily
Date: Nov 10 2020SummaryI highly recommend giving this a try if you're on a budget and need to make a lot of graphics. We used this to make flyers to put up around the school for different events we had coming up through the year, and to use as digital flyers posted to BAND for the kids and parents to see. They looked so much better than what some of the other staff put up around the school for sure.
PositiveCanva already gives you some really pretty stuff to work from right off the bat. It's easy to edit and make something that looks really professional without having to pay much. If you have a really tight budget, you can make some really nice looking stuff without having to hire a graphic designer.
NegativeIt takes a little getting used to, and the base designs to learn a little feminine and hipster-y, but you can change it to suit whatever aesthetics you need it to do with some effort. The price may seem a little steep to those not used to looking into having a professional designer do work for you, despite it actually being really cheap, and may not be a good fit for a really small project that only need one poster or flyer done quickly.
