Outstanding if you want to create simple or complex designs for any use:)
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to do magnificent poster designs from scratch in a matter of minutes. Canva has many useful tools such as pre-maid overlays, fonts, hundreds of free images and illusttrations as well as cool templates that enable users to give life to their ideas. For example, I use Canva to create flyers for local shops, and they love the designs I provide. What they don´t know is that it literally takes me about 5 minutes to finish their flyers!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only complaint I may have is that Canva doesn´t allow me to import custom fonts. But, actually, this isn´t a problem at all, unless you´re extremely picky with your font designs. But I wouldn´t worry about this, because Canva offers a huge arsenal of ready-to-use fonts that will fit into any design you´re working on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my humble opinion, Canva can solve any problem that graphic designers might encounter: you save a lot of time when you create posters, flyers or website headers, allowing to focus on what matters most: creating designs and selling them!!!. You also avoid spending time creating illustrations or backgrounds with the ready-to-use templates Canva offers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep up the good work. I´ve used Canva for a long time now and I can honestly say that it´s the best free software available out there. I just want to personally thank you to let us, users, use this software for free. It has helped me make my design life easier, and it´s even helped me to earn some bucks. I completely think you´re heading in the right direction. Please, don´t change, as many companies do when they´re experiencing big success
Perfect Software for Those Who Aren't Designers
What do you like best about the product?
I am not a designer. I don't have that designer touch. It's hard for me to create graphics, or good looking pictures. However, with Canva it's so easy to make anything good looking. They have templates, and preloaded images to help anyone out. Need something for facebook? Bam! Twitter? Bam! Email? Bam!
What do you dislike about the product?
After using it for so long you realize that there a ton of nickle and dime templates, and other features. They have to make money, but they need to work on making an unlimited membership instead of charging a dollar here and there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to make great looking social post and emails with Canva, without having to hire a designer and save our budget a bit more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just get an account. It's a free membership. You'll quickly find out why so many people love it.
Okay, but not the best...
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I could just jump in and start using Canva with barely any instruction. The design templates are pleasant, and the free graphics are sufficient. I used it to make a weekly work newsletter, so it was okay in terms of choosing the layout, colors, and design elements.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a lot more effort to create something simple than I think it needs to be. It's basically intuitive, but I ran into blips with saving and re-using the same layout for a weekly newsletter. Sometimes I was not able to login properly due to the site being down for example. You have to pay for a lot of more interesting layouts and graphics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to make a simple weekly newsletter for work and this was a relatively simple and free option, which also allowed multiple team members to edit. It was somewhat intuitive but not as fast to use as I was hoping.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth checking out, but may not be as fast or convenient as expected.
User-friendly Designing for the Not-so-Creatives
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the design options are already available to use. The design team creates themed designs for different holidays, which makes it fun to check up on regularly. The design options are available in the range of sign options; from traditional poster printing to social media memes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Naturally, I dislike what anyone dislikes: to pay for designs and icons. I do purchase icons regularly, but not often. For personal use, I go for the free items. For work use, I tend to purchase designs to make sure I create the most attractive products. I wish I can add a second user to my account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I organize events on campus and Canva.com allows me to create quick and attractive flyers for printing and social media in order to promote my events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canva is a great tool for anyone who is in charge of promoting events in their organization. I personally do not have design skills, so this service allows me to create really attractive posters that I often get complimented for. It saves time and money.
Super easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is super easy to use and very intuitive. I love the variety of images and templates they provide to make it extremely easy to create your own content for social media, emails, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that Canva had a better way to search and filter through images. It would help me speed things up if I was able to filter by category, color scheme, and if there was a way for me to sort between the free templates and they ones you need to pay for. I'm also hoping that they develop a mobile app as I often go back and forth between working on my laptop and my phone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva has enabled me to easily create my own social media content. This not only helps my feeds to me more original and personal, but it also enables me to keep my branding strong by keeping my color schemes and fonts consistent. It's also super helpful that you're able to upload your own image and edit the transparency, so that you can "watermark" your designs. Before I was using two different apps/programs to edit & then watermark.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As long as you're ok with only working on your images on a computer, Canva is an excellent, free option. There are a lot of images that you have to pay a one-time fee to use, but there is still a really nice selection of free content plus the ability to upload your own images. Easy to use and gets the job done for creating social media content!
Inexpensive way to boost your social media content
What do you like best about the product?
I make inexpensive ads to run for my business on Facebook, Instagram, and for blog posts. You can purchase cheap stock photos, use free ones, or download your own images. Being able to create my brand has been great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there aren't really any free images for what you're looking for so you do need to purchase them or download. I also wish I could save my brand font and size without purchasing Canva for Work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There aren't really any business problems to solve but Canva is a huge benefit because Social media sites push posts with images more and Canva makes it so that you can push your ads and promote your pages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use this! I tell everyone about it despite that I want to have the best Social Media posts over others.
Amazing design platform!
What do you like best about the product?
I have some design experience, but Canva is a super easy site and could even be used by beginners. It is very simple and quick to make professional looking documents such as posters, social media pictures, flyers, etc. I have been using it for a few months now and love it!
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't as flexible with adding your own content and customizing as other softwares like Adobe Indesign, photoshop, etc., but it is more of a place to make quick and easy design content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to quickly create great looking content for my business that looks like a professional created it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great platform for simple design work. I highly recommend it! Even for beginners!
Great App for Social Media
What do you like best about the product?
Great templates, easy to edit, beautiful photos, and easy access to share to various social media platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It's easy to use. No complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva allows fast creation and editing of social media graphics to help maintain social media accounts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for quick graphics for social media accounts.
A great tool for marketers looking for DIY creative work
What do you like best about the product?
This is a great for budget constrained marketers aspiring to be efficient in day-to-day creative needs. Most of the features that I use regularly are free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe more photo editing features would be great. More powerful file compression would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Canva to create images for social media posts, email headers, banner ads, etc. Most of the features I need frequently are free and have saved our startup a lot of money which we would have spent hiring a graphics designer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it. There's no downside.
User Friendly Quick Photo Editor!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the uploaded templates for ideas and the ability to choose image size based on social media usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love the ability to add my own fonts to the program. I feel like the choices are pretty limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Last minute social media graphics when I am behind on schedule!
