What do you like best about Canva?

Canva is how accessible it is for everyone, regardless of design skill. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create professional-looking designs quickly, and the huge variety of templates, images, and fonts really helps spark creativity. Plus, it has a free version with tons of great features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

One thing I find a bit limiting about Canva is that some advanced features, like access to premium assets (photos, illustrations, etc.), are locked behind a paid subscription. Also, while it’s great for most designs, more complex or highly specialized tasks (like detailed vector illustrations or complex animations) might not be as flexible as using something like Adobe Illustrator or After Effects. But overall, it’s still a great tool for the majority of design needs.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canva solving and how is that benefiting you?

Canva solves the problem of making design accessible to everyone, regardless of skill level or resources. It helps people create high-quality graphics quickly without needing advanced design software or experience. For someone like me, it saves time and effort, letting me easily create social media posts, presentations, and other visual content. The ability to access a wide range of templates and tools in one platform is a huge benefit, making the design process much more efficient and less intimidating.

What do you like best about Canva?

Canva is a simple and easy-to-use graphic design app. It offers thousands of elements and pre-built customizable templates that anyone can choose from to create their own designs.

The app operates on a freemium model, which means you can access all elements, templates, and features by upgrading to the pro version. However, the free version is more than sufficient for getting started with graphic design. I use it regularly to create content for my company.

Canva also integrates with social media, allowing you to share your designs directly to your social platforms. It is very beginner-friendly and easy to navigate, thanks to its clean and innovative user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

There are no downsides to using Canva. It is one of the best apps for graphic designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canva solving and how is that benefiting you?

Canva has helped me create stunning and useful content for my company's Instagram in a way I never thought possible. It is incredibly easy and user-friendly. Despite having no previous experience in graphic design, I learned to use Canva, and now my content is being loved and engaged with by thousands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canva?

As a non-professional editor, I found Canva easier to use than other professional platforms and services. In particular, I really liked the charts app add-on which I use to create interactive charts and graphs that I later embed on my website. The Canva platform offers a lot of useful add-ons and sharing features as well as integrations with third-party apps like Mailchimp and LinkedIn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

The editing tools are lacking some important features. For example, there are no box shadows in Canva. If you're designing anything, you'll probably need to add a box shadow at some point. It's inconvenient to have to switch to another software just to get shadows and edit the image properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canva solving and how is that benefiting you?

Canva provides a lot of stock images and graphics that I can use in my designs without having to pay a separate subscription for stock content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

It can be annoying to have to rely on an internet connection to use Canva when working offline. Without a doubt, it is ideal for basic to medium-level design needs; however, it does not have all the features that a professional designer might need for complex work. Also, some of the premium assets can be accessed only through the Pro version, which is a limitation for free users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actually, I like canva, but one thing I don't like is that the video editing templates are too short. I use it to make YouTube Shorts, which is fine, but it's not suitable for creating longer videos as it becomes very difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canva solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using canva, I was using Photoshop to create posters, but it took a long time, and I often had to stretch my work. Then, my friend suggested Canva, and I started using it. It's really awesome!
