Best FREE Design App.

  • November 28, 2016

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.

  • November 21, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • November 15, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.

Amazing Design Program!

  • November 11, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is simple to use! I am able to create graphics easily that look top notch and professional! There are many templates that inspire creativity or lend a hand when I'm not feeling creative. I love that there are many different design sizes or that you can even set your own custom measurements/ratios. I've used this program for our business as well as personal blogging use. It is all around user friendly and performs well. I honestly can't believe it is a free program! I find it so much easier to use than design programs you have to buy!
Great work Canva!!! Thank YOU!
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally there are glitches in the software, but they tend to resolve the issue quickly. I do wish there were a few more fonts and more diversity in fonts. BUT.. fonts are ten times better than most other programs, where you'd have to download fonts to have an updated feel. !
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing graphics for my business at no additional cost! Can't beat that! We now have a polished look to all of our graphics with no added cost for our office.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it and you'll love it!

What do you like best about the product?
This product is so easy to use and perfect for creating work and personal products. It is user friendly and fun to play around with different designs. It's nice to add logos to the images to promote my company brand. I love the examples they give, it helps me get ideas for future products I can create. It's nice to share work between co-workers. The fact that the product is free is AWESOME!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I ever had was the sizing of one image and then importing to social media took a minute to figure out. I did contact support and ended up figuring it out by myself.

I did purchase an image and didn't realize I could only use it on one project. That was annoying
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating images for social media was a challenge before using Canva. It's very easy to put together something in a few minutes time. We can share projects with different people in the office and everyone can add their input and changes to make the end result better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product! Take time to explore the features that Canva has and learn all the great projects you can create!

Quick Solution to Urgent Design Needs

  • November 10, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love Canva. It's fast, easy to use, and you can produce high quality creative in minutes for free. Great for beginner designers or anyone on the go.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little difficult to make precision edits, and the saving and gallery feature is still a little buggy. Searching for images, etc. is challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There's an urgent need for creative regularly, and sometimes it's just a simple flyer or invitation. Canva is great for making that happen - fast!

Would highly recommend for a quick solution to design!

  • November 02, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that they are always expanding on the different templates that can be used, and in addition adding many free options so you can create eye-catching designs without paying hardly any money. It works really well for beginners as well as designers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I dislike is that I sometimes feel like what I am creating is going to be exactly like another person's result. I do wish that there were a few more elements that could be added that would a little more unique and that they changed them out frequently. But otherwise, it is ia great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have clients that need to get social media posts, newsletters, flyers, and blogs out quickly. They come to me looking for a quick design sometimes, and I like to be able to give them this as a tool and option.
