Makes it easy for non-designers to make good looking images!
What do you like best about the product?
It's SO easy to use. It's great to not have to bug my designer to create images that I can do in a few minutes. I love all of the stock photos it comes with, fonts, and how quick you can create something that looks great. I also love how it does social image sizing for you. As a social media manager, that is a huge help.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that you could search for free images and organize them by free/paid. Unfortunately I don't have a paid account and it would be awesome if I could just see everything that's free instead of scrolling through all images.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes it super simple to create quick images. I also can share with my team through canva without going through email or slack or something of the like.

Fast easy and eye catching
What do you like best about the product?
Pre designed layouts and pre sized social media headers
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the text presets can get a little glitchy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me design professional looking graphics without having to buy illustrator.
Simple but effective graphic design studio for social media & flyers
What do you like best about the product?
Large library of pre-built design templates, font styles, and headlines. Your work automatically saves every few seconds so you do not have to worry about losing your designs or forgetting to save your work. Moving around elements and putting elements into the background or foreground is very easy.
I also love that you can easily upload your own graphics and images for use as elements in your canvas.

What do you dislike about the product?
Resizing icons and elements can be trickly, and there are limitations with including lines and bars - you have to select from a library of pre-determined lines - you cannot choose the width and other style characteristics. You cannot edit color schemes, fill in areas on elements, or add transparency - that requires use of another design program like GIMP or SnagIt.
Also, uploading graphics sometimes can be slow and cause the program to crash.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to create collages and shareable social media graphics and we have been able to create an abundance of these. Additionally, we have a robust PPC program and have relied on Canva to create quick but appealing ads on the fly.
Love Using Canva!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of creating professional looking graphics without a background in graphic design and without having to mess with photoshop!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more free photos and templates offered but I understand they have to make money and the graphics they sell are only a dollar for one time use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having to learn to use photoshop or hire someone to do our editing or graphics creations for us! We've been able to create professional looking flyers, postcards, and social media posts in a matter of minutes or an hour rather than having to trouble shoot over several hours for one product!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play with it! They are creating new features all the time so just pick one project you'd like to work on (like a social media posts) and figure out what works for you and your brand. It's not a complicated system to use and the number of features they have is incredible given it's a free service!
Best FREE Design App.
What do you like best about the product?
This program takes a lot of the guess work out of designing which allows you to feel confident in your designs without a degree! The options that are given to a user on the free plan are overwhelming. If we are ever looking to purchase a picture it is only $1.00 as opposed to having to purchase credits from an istock or Lightstock photo place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish this program would allow you to play with the text more (arch, rise, etc..). I currently work under the free plan and it would be nice to change the picture dimensions at times to allow our website images to look the same without entirely recreating the image. However, I do feel this could be something we move to purchasing in the coming years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a not-for-profit there are lots of other pieces we have to work on besides design. Canva is instrumental in allowing us to stay focused on the other pieces of marketing while allowing us to have a beautiful design that is created in minutes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look no further. If you need an web based design program, Canva is your place.
The design program for non-designers.
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is easy to use, but it also has the ability to be very complex. A basic account is free and if you want to implement your logos, pantone shades, and so on into your toolbar, you can upgrade to a payable account. I namely used this at my university job, but now I use it on whim to get more acquainted with design and design programs (I haven't felt brave enough to try Photoshop yet). User-friendly and versatile, it's a great online program to do little or big projects. I most recently used it to make a cover for my most recent writing project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could always use more tools and ways to design pieces, but at the same time, it's a free program. It's great and I really don't have too many complaints at all. Sometimes it doesn't save properly and it takes a while for a preview of a piece to show up on your main homepage, but overall I love it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm saving myself money by using it for personal projects and when I used it at work, we were all able to log onto one account and projects were accessible by everyone on our small social media team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Since it's free, just go ahead and try it out. If you love it and want to implement it into your business, then upgrade with your business to the payable account. It's definitely worth at least some playing around!
Canva is the solution communications and content specialists are looking for.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use - Canva is super easy to use with a very short learning curve. I learned Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop in college and I'm still no expert, but within a week of using Canva I was already feeling comfortable.
Preset sizes and recommendations - Canva has preset image sizes for Facebook sharing, banners, Twitter sharing, blog images, etc. Everything a content specialist needs images for. If you run a blog or a social media page, Canva is extremely useful for you.
Customization - Canva lets you take any of their preset images and customize them with your own images, font sizes and colors, and by adding or removing graphics.
Saved images - You create an account on Canva and all of your images and designs are saved for later use. You can basically create your own templates and work off of them over and over again.

What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive for the pro package - I was using the pro package and I loved it, but I had to cancel pro and move back down to the unpaid version due to the cost. I also wish they had more modern graphics and vector images. I work at a software company and I need more trendy, modern graphics. The ones they have you have to pay for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you're a content marketer or communications specialist and you don't have a graphic design background, Canva is perfect for you. I needed a quick way to make images for social media that would help my content get clicks, and Canva was the solution for me. I enjoy using Canva and playing around with the program to make beautiful images for my content and I feel empowered to do so without asking for assistance from a designer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free pro trial if you're looking to create an account for you team or business. It's worth it if have a larger budget. I would love to get my team at work a pro account so that all the writers would be free to create their own infographics and social media graphics without the help of Adobe pros!
Great UX, Beautiful Content and Marketing Assets in Seconds
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is super accessible to people from all departments, backgrounds, and experiences. The onboarding process and UX is clean and easy to navigate, and it takes just seconds to create a high quality, beautiful content or social media asset. Love, love, love Canva.
What do you dislike about the product?
Canva operates with free and paid designs. This makes sense, but the challenge is that both are shuffled together, making it difficult to browse just the free options if you do not have a budget to work with. This benefits Canva, but detracts from the UX.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva helps us create quick social media assets that catch readers' eye when scrolling through a feed. We also recommend Canva to our clients in order to market their crowdfunding campaigns more effectively.
