"Image creator/Video editor/AI tool all in one"
What do you like best about Canva?

As a non-designer, I can design almost anything easily. The Pro plan comes with 1000s of excellent images & stock photos/videos. They keep adding high-level, useful AI tools.

What do you dislike about Canva?

It's hard to keep my designs and uploads organized.

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

I never wanted to go through the learning curve of Photoshop and Canva allows me to do everything I need without training. It's very intuitive. As I learn to do new things and discover new features, I get new ideas for content I'd like to create.

"The Most User-Friendly Design Tool on the Market"
What do you like best about Canva?

Canva is my current favorite design tool. I never thought it would compete against giants of design like Adobe, but it is incredible the way they have made it more robust and full of capabilities. There are very few things you cannot do in Canva, and integrations with other design tools are easy. Everything is fast, beautiful and intuitive with Canva.

What do you dislike about Canva?

An opportunity for improvement would be to include more pre-designed animations and easy animation effects. Additionally, incorporating more font effects would enhance the user experience. Furthermore, organizing the filing system more efficiently would be beneficial. However, overall, I simply love the tool.

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

Canva enables creating marketing designs for all channels in record time and with excellent graphic quality.

"Simple and intuitive tool for smart looking documents, presentations, and social posts on the fly."
What do you like best about Canva?

Canva offers an intuitive and clean user experience that simplifies designing and publishing content. With an easy-to-use drag-and-drop system, a large library of stock images and fonts, the ability to create and add brand kits, and a helpful selection of pre-defined canvases, Canva takes a lot of the grunt work out of design and enables everybody to create good looking content in less time. I use Canva daily to make social posts, presentations, and marketing resources for my clients, who find the platform easy to navigate and work with. I have integrated publishing tools and social platforms with Canva which has streamlined many of my processes.

What do you dislike about Canva?

It is difficult to choose something I dislike. Canva does precisely what it needs to and more. Speaking as a professional designer, Canva does lack some functionality and it doesn't have the same "WHOOMPH" as other tools – illustration and photo or video editing capabilities are quite limited, but I suspect this will greatly improve over time. Canva is certainly a disruptor in an industry that needed shaking up.

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

Canva makes it easy for me to work with clients and create social media posts and ads that use consistent branding. It helps me to create my own posts in less time and has enabled me to build an easy-to-access library of resources and assets for multiple clients.

"Perfect Efficiency Tool for Small Businesses & Entrepreneurs"
What do you like best about Canva?

Canva is amazing! You definitely don't need to be a design pro or a tech wizard to use it. It's a great efficiency tool for small businesses, freelancers or anyone whose role requires them to wear many hats

What do you dislike about Canva?

Overall, it's great, but I wish the internal organization structure would allow for more customizations to fit the needs of different team structures.

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

Any problems related to design or tech skills, limited resources, professionalism, branding, and consistency.

"Canva for the win!"
What do you like best about Canva?

Canva is incredibly versatile and user-friendly. I love the huge library of templates and design ideas, plus the ability to start from scratch and make my own design. The sharing options are also impressive because of ease of use and available options.

What do you dislike about Canva?

I am currently a Pro member, but prior to that I was using the free account which was somewhat limiting. It would be great if the free plan would offer just a little more to users.

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

Canva has solved several design problems for me as it offers so many templates, inspirations, and ideas. Beyond the design, though, Canva has also provided a place to organize and share my design ideas.

"Canva is a game-changer for our business"
What do you like best about Canva?

We used to use Photoshop for many of our business marketing images and no longer need it! Canva is super easy to use and includes tons of graphics, fonts, and editing ability making it simple to use, even for those who are not design/tech savvy. We use the application daily!

What do you dislike about Canva?

The desktop version is wonderful but the mobile version needs a lot of work. We struggle with using the mobile version so much that we will only use desktop.

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

Canva has made it easy for us to create quick menus for our bakery, and marketing images for social media and email blasts. It has eliminated our need for high-tech programs such as Photoshop, making it more versitile and efficient for our team.

"About Canva Being Handy tool for every small digital requirements"
What do you like best about Canva?

First of free to use and has Many many varieties of templates, yes premium templates are better but free designs are not much of a difference Secondly video transition and animations are easy to use, even non professional editer can also do editing And best seen software in the market that is more accessible compared to others, so I use it frequently to design templates for my Presentation and as little as creating a label too, I never had a problem to consult a customer support but I access customer support through AI powered chat support which would solve more of he issues

What do you dislike about Canva?

Much of good templates are pro only and the only downfall is the premium costs high which would drag it towards negative side other than that it's marvelous

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

The major problem Canva is solving is definitely time, I would take more than an hour create a simple 10s clip but with Canva I would do it in just 5 to 10mins, which benefits a lot
