Canva Reviews & Product Details

- easy to use or learn as a new user

- easy to edit designs

- free plan can work for most and there is no need to upgrade Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- the teams paid package where you share your designs with colleagues can be challenging because you have to one by one identify which designs you want to share with the team, versus all designs in that group being public to the team

- we have a paid account, but seeing the paid features with a crown made us think we weren't able to use those features. We eventually realized after a few months that those items were included.

- Sometimes editing the size of something on a design will not let you drag to the size you want, it forces you to align with another object on the page which can be frustrating. I found an alternative where you go in one at a time and change the positioning by a couple points but it's still not the most intuitive or easy to use.

- Customer service doesn't really exist. It's hard to find the contact information and then when you do it's just an email. So you email them and get a different person responding each time and it is a delayed response. I'd much rather prefer a chat bot to speak to a customer service rep while using the product.

Canva is basically built for one core problem: you need something that looks good, but you either don’t have design skills or don’t want to spend hours creating it. It removes the friction of traditional design tools and replaces it with speed and simplicity. Instead of learning complex software, you’re mostly editing pre-made structures that already work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That said, Canva definitely has limitations. The biggest one is that you hit a ceiling pretty quickly if you care about design details. It’s not built for precision or deep customization, so more advanced users often feel constrained. You can’t fine-tune things the way you can in professional tools, and that becomes frustrating once you move beyond basic needs.

There’s also the issue of designs starting to look similar. Because so many people rely on the same templates and assets, it’s often easy to recognize something that was made in Canva. If originality or strong branding matters, that can be a drawback.

Another downside is how many useful features are locked behind the paid version. The free version works, but over time it starts to feel limited, especially when you run into things like resizing designs or accessing better assets. Performance can also be inconsistent, particularly with larger or more complex projects, where it may lag or feel cluttered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canva’s pre-set templates make designing so easy. I get inspiration from the different templates, and all I have to do is add my logo, modify the text, and maybe change the colors to fit my brand. It has helped me create beautiful content very quickly, and it’s very easy to use and understand.

Also I like all the resources that are including on my membership, from stock photos to cute graphic designs, makes every penny worth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, there’s nothing I dislike about Canva. It has helped me with so many projects that I’m very familiar with it. The only thing I’d say needs improvement is its AI/intelligence, because it isn’t as good at generating content as other AI chatbots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How user friendly it is. We use Canva for our business cards and to help design our company logo and our stickers for our folders to present to our customers a polished look. I am grateful that it saves all of our images so that it is easy to reorder. The price of Canva is reasonable and affordable. The AI feature is a new feature that we have utilized in creating our designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a new platform for me so there is a learning curve. Some of the pages added can disappear, but as I get more familiar with Canva I feel confident that I will be able to keep my saved designs from disappearing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canva is easy to use and user-friendly. The best thing about Canva is it can do all the things that a marketer or a content creator needs in their daily life. Want to build a video with good elements and graphics? Canva can do that. Want to build carousels? Canva can do that. Want to build quick designs with the help of templates? Canva can do that. Canva is compatible on both devices mobile and desktop which makes it convinient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canva should introduce features for bulk design creation. For example, if I want to generate multiple designs with almost the same pattern and only the content needs to change, I should be able to upload a CSV file, map or define the fields, and then have Canva automatically produce the bulk designs.

I use Canva for easy social media content creation and it really speeds up my creation and design process, allowing me to post quicker on different platforms. I also benefit from the AI text to image and voice to image functions when I'm pressed for time. The support is quick and very helpful. Canva is user-friendly, and my designs make me look like a pro graphic designer with many years of experience. Creating short video content and adding audio has never been this easy. The initial setup of Canva was extremely easy and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The auto adjust feature sometimes makes the image pixelate when I design content for larger displays like billboards or posters. The output could perhaps be enhanced to a higher quality so that the image can be blown up to a larger scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canva makes it easier for any non-design person to create good designs, edits, websites, and banner posters without needing to understand the deeper details of design. I’ve mainly used its website feature since I’m a developer, but it also comes in handy when I need to put together promotional content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is that some of the more advanced brand, AI, and team features are locked behind paid plans, so the free experience can start to feel a bit limited as your needs grow. I’m part of an organisation, so I don’t really run into that issue myself, but for individual users it could become a problem over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Canva to create simple health awareness posters, mainly related to pregnancy care and women's health topics. It helps me design visuals quickly that I can share on social media or sometimes use during teaching sessions. The ready-made templates are very useful and save time, especially when I need to prepare something quickly without much design experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One small issue I noticed is that sometimes it takes time to find the exact template because there are many options available. Also, when internet speed is slow, loading designs can feel slightly delayed. Apart from this, it works well for regular use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love most about Canva is how beginner-friendly it is. As someone who has used Adobe Photoshop for years, I still find Canva great for anyone just getting started with creating graphics and social media templates, especially people who aren’t very tech-savvy. I also like how many templates they offer for free, along with the premium templates available if you’re paying for Canva. Another thing I find really helpful is how easy it is to set up your branding. It makes it simple to use the templates in their library and edit them so they match your brand style.

I think one downside of using Canva is that you can almost always tell when the template you’re using was made in Canva, if that makes sense. It can feel like it lacks a certain quality or uniqueness. I also dislike how busy the main screen is. I wish there were an option to customize it more to fit how I work, especially since there are so many options, templates, and different ways you can use Canva.

I appreciate the wide range of free templates in Canva for resumes, videos, invitations, and presentations. It's particularly helpful for someone like me who isn't skilled in video editing or design. I love using the latest trend designs available as free templates and the corporate standard resume formats that help me create standout resumes. The interface is smooth and user-friendly, making it accessible even without prior experience. I also find it convenient to easily download creations in high-quality PDF or MP4 formats.

As nowadays AI is in so much demand, Canva could add AI features to automate input as per the chosen template, eliminating the need to fill manually. Currently, I need to select text boxes and adjust the page size manually to see properly. Also, for resume creation and spelling correction, I need to use external AI platforms like ChatGPT because Canva lacks these features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
