Easy Project Organization with Great Team Access and Flexible Exports
What do you like best about the product?
It’s easy to use and works really well for organizing projects. I also like the team access features, and the export options are flexible enough to fit different needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
AI can be a little clunky, and I wish their image adjust editor was a little better when it came to filters, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us create all our images for all email and site updates.
Effortless Design with Magic Edit, But Needs Better Organization
What do you like best about the product?
I love the magic edit feature in Canva where I can grab objects or text from an image. It allows me to grab anything in an image, like text, objects, and even the background, and edit them individually. This feature really stands out for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it bothers me that in my uploads folder, I can only delete one image or one element at a time. After a lot of years of using Canva, my upload folder has a lot of junk in it, and I want to be able to delete a lot of it altogether instead of doing it one at a time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva makes my life easier with its templates. I just add my brand colors and content without creating designs from scratch.
Versatile, Easy-to-Use Tool for Designing Anything
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it’s really versatile—you can use it to create and design anything you need. It’s also very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything feels really smooth and well organized overall. The only issue I run into sometimes is that editing images can be difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva helps us keep our presentations professional, well organized, and easy to understand.
Canva Makes On-Brand Marketing Easy for Non-Designers
What do you like best about the product?
I don't come from a graphic design background so for a solo operator such as myself, the ease of working with Canva to create marketing assets for my business has been a real game-changer.
For beginners to design, the range of templates, particularly digital assets for use on social media platforms is a great way to get started; and there really is a design template for every style you could want.
If maintaining a 'brand' feel is important to you, the design features allow you to create a brand pack complete with all your relevant colours and font/text styles.
The platform integrates into all of the popular social media platform so no need to download designs manually in order to post on our preferred apps.
Of late I've been really impressed with the new AI function. Just a few words into the prompt box and the platform creates really strong imagery. I'm still in the early days of using this function, but so far so good!
The introduction of the AI function hasn't slowed down the speed at which the platform operates either. I've noticed no drop off, and the operating speed continues to be snappy.
I find the pricing plans really good value for money. I largely operate on the entry level pricing tier as that works for the size of my operation and what I need from the platform; but there are times where I need a more expansive template or design feature and when that happens I find it easy to upgrade my subscription, and then scale back down when I'm ready.
At the end of the day I can strongly recommend Canva to anyone who is curious. You don't need to be design led to use the platform, it really is that easy to produce on brand marketing assets and tools for your business.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the business pricing tier was more competitive as I would use it more than I do right now. The basic tier works really well for me, and there's nothing I really need the business tier for especially, but some of the design functions do speed things up at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva is saving me a lot of money in freelancer design fees. About 95% of all my design requirements I now do myself through Canva.
A Huge Variety of Templates Across Genres and Categories
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the amount of templates available across different genres and categories.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though there are a lot of templates to choose from, I rarely find one that truly fits the style or type of document or project I’m trying to create. I also find that some of them are difficult to adapt or adjust to meet my needs, so I often end up starting from a blank canvas anyway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva isn’t my go-to application for creating content. At this time, it isn’t solving any problems for me.
User-Friendly and Cost-Effective Design Solution
What do you like best about the product?
I use Canva for a wide variety of design tasks like paid social adverts, infographics, banners, and white papers. I find Canva to be much easier than Photoshop, with a minimal learning curve. It's easy to use and very cost-effective, which is a big plus because Photoshop was just way too expensive and unwieldy for us. Getting started with Canva was very easy as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the interface gets cluttered with all the apps, and occasionally you get stuck with shortcuts. These are very small issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva makes design iteration and changes easy with a minimal learning curve, unlike Photoshop, which is costly and unwieldy. It's very cost-effective and straightforward for tasks like creating social ads, infographics, banners, and white papers.
Canva Makes Professional Design Fast and Effortless
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Canva is how easy it makes professional design for non-designers. The most helpful features are the thousands of ready-to-use templates and the drag-and-drop editor. I also love the brand kit tool that saves my colors and fonts. The biggest upsides are that it works entirely in my browser, offers a generous free tier, and allows real-time collaboration with my team. I can create social media posts, presentations, and videos in minutes instead of hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Canva is that many useful elements, templates, and features like background remover and magic resize are locked behind the Pro subscription. The free version feels very limited once you get used to the premium options. Another downside is that Canva requires a stable internet connection since it is entirely cloud-based. Offline access is very restricted. The image editor also lacks advanced controls like curves, layers, and precision masking, so for complex photo editing I still need other software. Finally, when you export files, the compression can sometimes reduce image quality, especially for print materials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva solves the problem of needing expensive design software and professional graphic designers for basic visual content. It benefits me by allowing me to create high-quality social media posts, presentations, and marketing materials on my own in minutes. For business, Canva helps solve the problem of inconsistent branding across different teams and platforms. With brand kits and shared templates, everyone in my organization can produce on-brand content without asking a designer for every small change. It also solves the problem of slow turnaround times. Instead of waiting days for a freelance designer, I can edit and publish same day. This saves my business money on external design fees and helps me launch marketing campaigns faster.

Streamlined Design with User-Friendly Flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Canva makes it really easy to resize things for different types of social media platforms, which simplifies planning posts for the future. The pre-made templates save me a lot of time since I don't always have to create things from scratch and everything is conveniently housed in one area. Plus, setting up an account was very quick and easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, there are some technological issues where I can't access the templates. I've had an issue once where I tried to edit a template, and it actually made me try to save it to my desktop first. That was very annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva makes it easy with pre-made templates, saving time so I don't have to start from scratch. It keeps everything in one area and allows resizing to different specs.
Canva is Literally the Best App and I'm a Designer
What do you like best about the product?
As a graphic designer, Canva offers me the ability to share my craft with others. Everyone can use it and their free option is generous! I have recommended Canva and/or implemented it into my workplace for almost as long as it's been around. I've had amazing customer support and have worked with a rep specific to my line of work who was so genuine. Canva has been easy to maneuver since it's start. The browser is my primary go to but the mobile app is pretty user friendly too. It's brand kit section is probably my favorite features. I love having my brand tools at the ready—colors, fonts, logos, graphics, and so much more! Canva provides what seems like an endless amount of templates, ideas, and elements. It changed the template game and I think only for the better.
What do you dislike about the product?
My two biggest gripes with Canva are its AI and the lack of an artboard/workspace outside of the active canvas. The AI integration through ChatGPT is disappointing; the two don’t seem to actually work well with each other. I try it every so often to see if it's improved, but I still find the AI to be hallucinatory or banal. I've asked for it many times, but Canva would be even better if it offered a workspace to drag elements off the screen. Figma and Adobe have it and I think if they could get that out, it would bump them back up to the top.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva allows for 'non' creatives to get artsy which in turn allows me to trust them to make something that won't be terrible. The brand kit is a lifesaver for this! I can have an entire repository of our assets from anywhere. I love how responsive the app is when I'm looking for uploads, elements, etc. We pay for the company/team tier which also offers premium designs and content which has saved us in a pinch. I think Canva saves us time and money plus, it's fun to use!
