Canva Reviews

Summary: This is one of my all-time favorite software services because they tackle such a huge problem and have really helped me get more time back. Design things fast. Software is simple to use. Gallery's are continuously updated. The upsells and add-ons are completely reasonable. Don't worry about being overcharged. Great for small to enterprise businesses.

Positive: This app has saved me countless hours designing things. New designs are continuously added so I never have to worry about my graphics going stale. Can't beat the software service for the price.

Negative: For some reason some placement sizes are replaced or removed all together. Know what and where you want to be publishing. I've spend too much time thinking through sizes to find the perfect design. Don't get trapped thinking about design.

Summary: Overall, Canva is one of the best platform to get pre-made templates and designs in almost all media formats.

Positive: - Canva allows downloading designs in GIF, PNG, JPG, and mp4 format.
- The free version of the software also works great and is more than enough for normal use.
- The drag and drop feature comes very handy.

Negative: - The mobile version of the software does not work properly.

Summary: As 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!

Positive: The 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.

Negative: My 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.

Summary: Honestly, 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

Positive: Amazing flexibility within the tool for creating different designs and logos or posters, Instagram stories or more.

Negative: If 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.

Summary: Canva being relatively new, has quickly become quite popular due to the fact that it provides a lot of capabilities and materials to support everyone's means to post engaging social media contributions. It has quite a few free media offerings, yet one quickly 'hits' the need to upgrade.

Positive: -simple to use
-lot of free media
-available on web and mobile
-continues to evolve
-reasonable pricing model

Negative: -the 'good' stuff is only available through subscription (not really a con, just a fact)
-further integrations would be helpful

Summary: Without 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.

Positive: With 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.

Negative: To 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.

Summary: Being a graphic designer myself, I will absolutely recommend Canva to users who are beginners in graphic designing. Even professional designers can use it to create designs quickly on a short notice, with no loss in the quality of their work. There are more features added daily so a user can solely rely on Canva for all their graphic needs.

Positive: Canva is the perfect online solution for beginner to intermediate level graphic designing. All the resources are available on the site itself making it easier for a user to design efficiently and quickly. There are more than enough resources available such as high-quality images, illustrations, and animated objects with more resources being added regularly in the updates. A user can simply use the available templates for various uses such as designing resumes, posters, intros, etc. This is really helpful for new users who don't have any experience in graphic designing.

Negative: Canva is an online platform so you need an active internet connection to use it and access the resources. Some resources are locked and they can only be unlocked by buying the pro package which is not very costly but the fact that we can easily find the resources on other sites for free makes the pro package an unnecessary cost.

Summary: I 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.

Positive: Canva 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.

Negative: It 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.

Summary: The most beautiful thing I like about this product is the templates, you get a variety of beautiful templates to choose from. And the pricing is also great similar products are available in the market for a very high cost.
