Great editing software for businesses- particularly beginners

  • November 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that Canva is an incredibly simple software to figure out. It allows people who may be beginners in editing and design make things that look at least quasi-professional with very little effort. I have, in addition, seen it used for VERY professional imagery (of course, by individuals who had more training with Canva). However, as a beginner, it has been so useful to have Canva as an option because it allows a lot of templates that help things look like I have any idea what I'm doing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of the non-profit model we use, it's a little frustrating when you can't filter out the paid options, because I don't have the authorization to buy things off of Canva & therefore, would appreciate not having to wade through them for the free options. However, I understand why Canva would want to do this. It's just a tad irritating for my job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're absolutely solving the lack of anyone in the office with marketing or graphics experience. It's really helped bridge the gap of making content for our social media while also not having anyone in the office who technically does that job. It helps us come up with quality content - and extend that option to do so to multiple members in our office. It also allows collaboration on wording and design of these templates through the software options. Essentially, it's like having someone in the office who does graphis without the luxury of that actuality.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it! I recommend it!

Canvas enhancements for collaborative work

  • November 22, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
THE level of design and practicality to share or download the arts made with high professionalism. We cannot compare the tool with a graphic designer, but the quality of the designs is really high.

The impossibility of downloading directly to Google Drive or Dropbox
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Adaptation of publications on Social Networks such as Instagram (story) Twitter (rectangular publications) and collaborations in blog posts from universities and other companies and clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Open a Google Drive account to work online and in parallel with your Canvas arts.

Canva is awesome!

  • November 22, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Canva truly is an awesome platform for all things graphic-related. You can create professional level designs for business or personal use. Canva has hundreds, possibly thousands, of free designs you can build from. These designs are also themed (social media, menus, invitations, brochures, etc.) that can be edited. There is an extensive amount of fonts and free images, although some come with a small fee. Personal images can also be uploaded effortlessly. When your work is complete, you can download as a .PDF, JPEG, or . PNG without any difficulty. Truly, I do not know of a better graphics platform for the layman than Canva - start using it right away!
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, I have no complaints. As I said, some images are watermarked with a small fee which can be annoying, but there are plenty of free images to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create graphics for education purposes, and I even have students using it for projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. Seriously!

excellent for basic designs for social networks

What do you like best about the product?
allows you a lot of tools: images, icon shapes, illustrations and backgrounds to create varied and customized designs, it is easy to use and you can use your own images and text sources downloaded to your computer.
What do you dislike about the product?
for now there is nothing negative to add to Canva, it is a simple program with many good things

Amazing platform. I use it all the time, both for business and personal use.

  • November 21, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is so simple, yet it is incredibly powerful! They update their resources constantly, and they are very responsive to suggestions. I especially love that I can make one design and then magically resize it for everything I need. For instance, I can make a blog header and then resize it and tweak for FB, Twitter, Insta, etc. And the suggested templates are so helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The image library is great, but it is sometimes hard to find pictures with enough diversity. I work with educators and we think it's really important to show images of people who portray real classrooms with teachers and kids and parents from all cultures, walks of life, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in marketing and use it to update our website, social properties, and newsletters. It's wonderful to have this resource to be able to produce such a high volume of quality work. Our whole team is able to sign into the work account and use each other's designs, so we work 10 times faster than we used to. Being able to upload your logos, have your brand colors and fonts, etc., makes it easier to keep your team working appropriately.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely give it a try. If you are using it for business, especially with a team, be sure to set clear ground rules. Because it is so easy to use, it's possible for shabby designs to be created if a user has no training whatsoever. But if you follow Canva's recommendations (set up your fonts and colors, etc.) then it should not be a problem.

Canva is Easy to Use

  • November 21, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can use premade templates, or create something from scratch. It is easy to use and learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to pay for some content. This wouldn't be a problem for established graphic designers, but as a business that just started, or doesn't have a steady income this can become a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use canva to design Facebook posts, book covers, and logos. The software is easy to use and can create something in a short amount of time

Graphic Design for Dummies

  • November 21, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The drag-n-drop interface is very easy to use, and the provided example give a great introduction to what makes a good design.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, there is nothing to dislike. Some might complain that all of the good graphics require payment, but I don't believe that to be true.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Canva to create graphics for our social media channels.Previously, we had to train our employees to use Adobe products, which had a high learning curve, and were definitely overkill for our purposes.

My Canva Review

  • November 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Canva is a fantastic tool for creating online assets like social media graphics, posters, leaflets, product lists, business cards, etc. It is a cloud platform, you could do everything you need from different devices. Start with your PC at work, finish it on your tablet at home.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, actually there are a few things I dislike about Canva. But if we should have to write it, then the price scheme is the same for all countries. Not all countries have the same buying power. People who lives in lower-income countries are less likely to afford the Canva price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you run social media campaigns for your small business than Canva is like a gem for you.
I've designed my business card on Canva. In addition to that, I prepared many graphics for my business' online presence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will find everything in Canva for your small business' online graphical presence.

I really want to be able to turn frames with out turning the image inside.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media graphics. The different sizes for different social media sites is hard to manage with an appropriate design. Canva has presets that make this beyond easy.
