It's affordable, has a vast library of assets free to use with commercial projects, and projects are resizable. My favorite feature is the background remover which is quick and easy. It's not always flawless but is a great time-saver and works most of the time.
One time during my several years of membership, I lost an important project during one of their rare site upgrades. Customer Support was unable to recover it.
I have completely replaced my traditional desktop publisher with Canva's drag-and-drop technology. It feels like I am cheating, especially since I am fully trained in more sophisticated software.
The transition from one size to the next; ease of use.
It's AI image generation is not helpful.
It's helping me with ease of access to create designs based off of previously designed templates.
One of the simplest ways to get started on graphic design that I’ve ever enjoyed is working with Canva. The platform is a mine for starters with digital resources and easy to use applications that make creation a fun rather than cumbersome activity. Updates in the tools and the information given through the app makes it easy to learn and execute ideas. I have discovered that I often turn to many of the numerous templates that Canva offers in order to streamline job flows.
However, what worries me most in Canva is how the promotion of its Design School and Learn tabs is managed. I have often failed to notice the free features because the emphasis on free-miums and premiums overpowers them, thus limiting us to download and incorporate our own assets.
Canva has simplified the production of promotional materials and presentations, which otherwise would take a lot of time.
La prise en main de Canva est d'une facilité même pour une personne novice. Son offre gratuite est déjà très complète et permet à toutes personnes de concevoir des supports graphiques et visuels facilement et de qualité ! J'utilise aujourd'hui la version payante qui permet de constuire l'identité graphique de l'entreprise de façon plus poussée.
Je ne vois pas forcément d'inconvénients sur Canva aujourd'hui. Dans la version payante il serait peut-être que la bibliothèque d'images soit commune à toute l'équipe.
Le gain de temps dans la réalisation de supports graphiques. N'étant pas graphiste, le temps passé sur Photoshop ou d'autres logiciels similaires est beaucoup trop long, Canva ne remplace pas un graphiste mais permet d'y ressembler avec une utilisation simple et efficace.
Super easy to use. Access to thousands of stock images and videos. Very convenient to switch between the app and browser versions. I use Canva almost every day now. They are always adding new features and capabilities.
I find the video time editing can be a bit too sensitive on the mobile app. There could be more features for video editing and sounds.
Quick & easy to use app to generate ads and social media content. So many templates to choose from. This is great so you do not have to spend hours generating content. It is also great that I have access to so many stock image sources on my Pro account.
Canva is easy to use and creates professional looking graphics.
The constant ask to upgrade to the next level of product.
The need to represent ideas graphically to show up on social media.
I happen to know a thing or two about using Photoshop, because my job sometimes require it, but i never got the hang of it. When Canva was introduced to me, i was like : "Did i really spend that much time learning photoshop when I could have used this?". Canva provides everything you need from templates, to logos, to even an AI writing assistant! The results aren't bad either! I recommend this to everyone that needs less than expert-level editing results.. no-brainer.
You need an active internet connection to utilize it. It's a given since it's cloud based and it's not something to be "disliked" really. It's a just a limitation.
Canva makes something as complex as photo editing and design easy even for non-creatives.
Canva has amazing tools that nonprofits can benefit from such as making posters, flyers, presentations and more! The solution is very easy to use and setup!
One factor that can be improved with Canva is the feature of only 50 users for nonprofits. It doesn't affect us as a nonprofit at the moment but in the future it may.
Canva helps us with creating our flyers and certificates we make as a nonprofit organisation
You can use any layouts for any graphic design you'd like for free. Easy editing of videos and photos.
Limited stack photos and you have to pay to upgrade your account to access more photos
It solves the problem of creating eye-catching graphics without needing a degree in graphic design.
I really love how simple to use this online graphic design platform. Its simple interface and wide range of features make it an ideal platform for creating visuals for online and offline use. I always use this application in designing logos for businesses and editing video vlogs. I really had fun experience in navigating it.
I don't have any negative comment on this online graphic design platform.
It has free features and templates that can be used. I can do designes online and offline, and can be save your project easily.
It provides a single platform for all design requirements. You may design, produce, and work on a variety of projects and assignments, from having a straightforward poster to a presentation, brochure, etc. Canva also provides many themes and model templates that greatly simplify the creative process.
The one thing I don't like about Canva seems to be that occasionally the design isn't saved exactly as it was. This can prevent the present design from ever being reviewed or revised. But, this issue is sporadic and won't last forever.
Creating invitations, video prompts, Instagram posts, and various other content can be easily accomplished with the help of Canva. What sets Canva apart is its ability to provide all these features within a single application.
Canva for Enterprise is a wonderful platform that I use it for personal and educational purposes. I can create beautiful lessons and design templates that I can deploy to Google Classroom for my students to use or directly connect them to our Workspace in Canva!
When using it with more than one person, it's sometimes hard to track and share who has access to which templates since the system doesn't have a window that gives you an overall perspective.
Engagement is a huge one because GoogleDocs can be tedious. Allowing my students access to the Canva Workspace also gives them access to the amazing features that they can then use to create their own works! I also use it quite a bit for designing communication flyers and presentations for parents and faculty members and it's always a big hit!
It is so easy to customize to what we want it to look like
Hard to wrap text easily around pictures
Sets great templates that are easy to update to what we want to show.
User friendly app for beginners, also their features are easy to use, and they have fun featues too. Also they have multiple templates whatever you make you have many options. Also they support beginners in start.
I don't like the premium options because sometimes i like the template but they are on premium.
When i make graphic posts it helps me alot because i know all the features. Because i dont know how to use adobe or photoshop canva help me alot while im working in office.
How easy it is to make beautiful designs.
Organization and not being able to remove items shared with you from your main view.
Being able to design high quality graphics easily and affordably.
