"Very helpful for non-designers to create decent graphics" Posted 2022-06-01
Pros: I love the overall interface that packs comprehensive features but in an eye-friendly organized visual format. I am a blogger and need to frequently add good graphics within my posts but I am not a qualified graphic designer. Canva helps me to quickly create decent visual materials with least efforts. Many times I just select the templates and make a few changes to personalize them. It allows me to get a readymade themed material complete with matching background, typography and right positioning. Besides, I can simply select the specific formats like social posts, presentations etc. to see the different templates related to that format. What I love the most is the workspace area. I can easily find and add the quick readymade creative bits like icons, styles, etc. to give a personal touch to any template. I also love the mobile app version of Canva and sometimes use it for making images for social media posts. The elements section has got lots of icons and even the free ones look so professional. I can also change style or recolor any desired element. The option for grouping help me to group different elements together so that they respond uniformly to any changes like resizing. Downloads are decently fast and I can also share the completed images right from the workspace area. Overall it is a great option to overcome creative block or lack of technical graphic skills.
Cons: I am not a professional designer and so I frequently use just limited features (necessary for any specific blog post) from a huge collection of advanced features that Canva has. In that capacity, I don't find any cons. However, I think that people who want to use Canva primarily for designing professional graphics may appreciate some more customization of graphics in terms of changing the shape of the template elements- like curving a straight line or straightening the curves, etc.
Overall: Overall I would rate my experience- in the capacity of a blogger, as Excellent. However, I am a blogger and my use of graphic functionalities is limited and relevant to the topic I write about. But I am pretty sure that the professional designers would also love Canva as it has many advanced features as well.

"Making designs within this software is great and it's a pretty quick process with no lag." Posted 2022-05-20
Pros: Who wouldn't like to have a system where you can make different layouts, presentations, slides or brochures all in one place. All these features and much more is what Canva offers, One of the main things that positively caught my attention is that this system is able to offer me a large number of pre-designed templates for various already positives and brochures, it also has templates to make banners , all these templates have a fairly proportional and unique design, a design that you will not find on any other platform since they are original. The wide variety of templates that Canva offers help me build some pretty eye-catching slides. Another of the positive things that stood out during my experience is that it is a fairly light software, when inserting information in the design sheet, the software responds very quickly, it does not have any type of delay while I insert the information, in addition when a design has a lot of information to load this software does not present any type of delay either. Last but not least, the application for mobile devices works wonderfully, it works in a similar way to other image design software, so to use it it is not necessary to have previous experience, its use is quite simple and any user will be able to adapt to its functionalities without any complexity. Despite being an application that has quite a considerable weight, its general operation is magnificent, it provides a similar operation to the experience obtained from the computer version and the web version. Much of the functionality of Canva was developed in a positive way during our experience, this helped us to design several images Iván is for our company and for our advertising campaigns.
Cons: The negative point that I have to mention about Canva is not regarding the functions, since as I previously mentioned all the functions behave wonderfully and this allowed us to make innovative designs, however the complaint I have is regarding the system of billing that has Canva. We have a monthly subscription for each employee individually, and we have noticed that at the time of billing it is not done automatically, we have to do the billing manually within the software. The billing system of the Chamber currently does not work perfectly, on several occasions we have had to carry out the process manually and this is a rather tedious process. I hope you can resolve this issue as soon as possible because when the automatic process is not done, our subscription stops and does not allow us to make designs with access to premium features.
Overall: The negative point I mentioned above about Canva was not a factor that will affect our experience directly or exponentially, so I still think my overall experience with this shower was fantastic, I'm not complaining about using it within my company, Each and every one of our employees use as their main means to make designs, in addition to other employees also have the need to make Vanessa for advertising or for a specific email, they have been able to do it with the help of this magnificent software. This software works in an unlimited way, you can make brochures, banners or slides without worrying about any limit, The amount of storage space that cama in the cloud offers is fantastic and this helps us to store all our design in the cloud, so we save plenty of space on our computers. We will continue to use this great platform as it is helping us build fantastic designs. It is also important to mention that our process of adapting to this software was a bit complicated, we did not understand very well how to use each of the templates, we also did not know how to insert each of the forms that they offered us, however others spent two weeks using He answers it normally, we were not able to advance all the functions and currently we carry out design without any problem.

"Designs of all kinds and for various business occasions." Posted 2022-04-26
Pros: Canva is a very multifunctional platform to develop various types of activities, you can create from slides, to brochures or image designs in general, even various banners can be made on this same platform. There are several positive aspects of Canva, this platform has a very comfortable work structure, it helps the designs to be completely colorful and gratifying for the public, the things that most caught my attention in a positive way were:
1. Canva offers me completely accessible stock images of all kinds, it has a large library of images for all kinds of topics that the presentation is about, this library of images allows us to insert them into our presentation and make it much more complete, with images that are related to the topic of the presentation.
2. I love the collaborative feature that Canva has, it allows me to present, design and much more in a collaborative way, with the participation of more people online. My colleagues and friends can help me create a design in Canva, while they are on their computers and I am on mine, we can create and edit the presentation and all the changes will be seen in real time, it's amazing how I can have a job collaborative.
3. The templates that Canva offers me are not static, they are fully editable templates, you can modify the standard colors and you can also modify the layout of the template. There is a wide variety of templates and this has helped me to create different presentations and designs for every occasion.
4. It is an excellent mechanism to create a logo from scratch, we have created our company's logo with this fantastic program and the results were innovative, it has been a complete logo with very high quality colors.Cons: One of the main problems that we presented when using Canva is that we could not center some text or some image, in order to center an object on a design sheet, we had to calculate how long the sheet was and thus be able to center it , there is no guide line for easy centering. Another thing that I did not like is that although the image library is very complete and offers all kinds of images, there are some more professional images that are paid, I think that there should be no additional fees for images since we have If you're on a Canva paid plan, it would be great to be able to access more professional images at no additional cost. Finally, there is no mobile app that allows us to make designs in Canva, currently we can only make some designs from the web version and for computers.
Overall: Canva has been an essential program for making various designs for our entire company. Canva is being used by a large part of the employees of our company, in various sectors Canva is totally useful as it helps them create slides to present specific information and also helps them create optimal designs for all types of activities that we have assigned to them. Canva has been a fairly complete software, there are still some things to add to the Canva system to make it more optimal and more complete, however, with the current functions we have been able to make high quality designs for all types of activity, it has also served to make banners for our advertising campaigns.

"Making designs has never been so easy and fast." Posted 2022-02-25
Pros: Canva is our secondary platform for making presentations, slides, and making all kinds of collateral. One of the things that I liked the most about Canva are:
- Canva has a wide variety of templates for all kinds of occasions, these templates have very innovative designs and are applied to all the pages of the presentation that is being made. In addition, the templates come integrated with different fonts that help to give a better view of the slide, the fonts of the letters are different in each template.
- It has a highly optimized autosave system, I have never lost any type of information thanks to this autosave system that is capable of saving all the information that I insert, every time I insert something new or make a change, my presentation is automatically saved.
- When I make advertising designs such as banners or advertising images, Canva allows me to download them in very good quality and quite high resolution, which has helped me maintain this quality wherever I transfer these designs. Quality is one of Canva's strongest points.
- Canva allows me to increase the quality of any of the objects or images that I insert in my presentation. This is fantastic, it has an AI system to improve the quality instantly and have a better presence.Cons: One of the main problems that I have faced during my experience with Canva were:
- The online video recorder is not as functional as it seems, this function is very poorly optimized. When I make the recording of my face to insert that video in the presentation, the video takes a long time to be processed by the platform and this causes it to take even longer to finish the slide. It would be better if after recording the video, you can insert it right away without waiting so long.
- Canva's web editor is not that functional. I recommend using Canva for mobile or using the app for desktop, you will get a more complete experience. Currently, the web editor takes a long time to load the data of a slide, every time a new element is inserted, the web becomes a bit slow, also, when there are many elements on a slide, the browser can crash at any time.
- Customer support is very scarce, on the web there is no email to contact directly with someone in charge of helping customers, currently the only option for support is a phone call. It would be better if there was a live chat.Overall: The benefits that I have had with the help of Canva are very varied, it has served me for many things in my work sector. Canva is currently being used by all sectors of our real estate company in order to help make slide or presentation designs more streamlined. In our sector, Canva has successfully helped us create brochures for clients, every time we are going to sell a property, we hand out brochures to clients where they can learn more about our services, in addition, Canva has also allowed us to advertise In our company, create banners and advertising to reach more audiences on the networks, create satisfactory designs for customer advertising. We are satisfied with the results achieved with Canva, it is a very bold software, it needs to improve some things in its web version but I still consider it to be a very good option to make designs without having much experience.

"Powerful Marketing and Brand Design Tool" Posted 2021-12-20
Pros: Super easy to create marketing and brand flyers even if you are not a great designer by nature. There are so many free templates to choose from so it makes creating them quick and easy. There are many sizes and styles to ensure you can upload the correct dimensions to your social media apps.
Cons: I wish there was a way to co-edit with another person without having to export the file and email them. Also sometimes, the better looking templates are on the premium plan so from time to time, the template you need you may need to pay for.
Overall: I really like Canva because I can create flyers and event posters on the fly. I can create them on my phone or on the desktop. And best of all it's free for the most part. I have used Canva for many years and it's very easy to use and fits my needs extremely well and at no cost.

Pros: Canva can do so many things. I use it for all my graphics and have literally made thousands of images over the years including super cute business cards that everyone loves plus very precise covers for my books both in paperback and audio book format.
Cons: Not a lot really. Only thing I'd like to be able to do that I currently can't is resize existing images. I have to start again if I make a mistake with my sizing. Also a "save as" feature might be useful so that I can use old images as templates without losing the original on Canva.
Overall: Solid product that I constantly advise other authors to use. Adore Canva and it's accessible even if you're not normally a graphics person.

"Easy to use and lots of powerful features" Posted 2021-10-12
Pros: The software is very easy to use as compared to things like Adobe Acrobat / Indesign, which we use heavily in our business. Intuitive interface, great assets and templates available on free or paid plans. Really allows you to create impactful visuals quickly and with limited design skills.
Cons: On the paid plan, when resizing artwork from one dimension to another there is still tweaking that is needed to adjust artwork. Most of the additional image assets in the platform are from third parties, so be careful using it if you're looking to trademark any designs, that's not possible with their stock imagery. Also wish they had more options for color themes in their templates that work separate from the core color theme.
Overall: Very good product, use it for many of our design needs that aren't overly complex. Can make nice looking assets quickly with minimal work.
