Create awesome graphics with minimal effort!
What do you like best about the product?
Canva has a multitude of modern design elements to create graphics for social media and beyond! It's incredibly intuitive, and you can have a really snazzy end product without spending a lot, if any money. I am especially impressed with the font selection, and that I can incorporate my own photos with their interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have run into the occasional neat graphic I'd like to use but don't want to spend money on...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've actually been using it to create graphics for social media posts for an upcoming mission trip to Cambodia-- I've made graphics to help promote fundraisers as well as supply donation lists that people can download to their phones-- so whenever they're out and about and see items on the list, they can pick them up! In my job, I've used it to create some custom logos for some of our online discussions and our clients have been very pleased!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is an incredibly dynamic and versatile tool. The options are really endless, and even if you don't have much graphic design experience, Canva makes it easy to test the waters.
DIY Professional Graphic Arts Results
What do you like best about the product?
This software allows me to quickly make professional looking photos, invites, event announcements, etc. There are so many stock photos, font options, and layouts available for free. There are additional options for stock photos that are very affordable starting at $1
You can also make custom layouts based on the social media size requirements.
The free tutorials are excellent to learn about the possibilities with the software.
I also like that the templates are sized correctly according to the social media platform. For example the sizing is correct for twitter and/or FB cover photos.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike about this software. However there is a lot to learn. I recommend the free course that comes with the software to learn about all of its capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use canva to break up my text heavy posts by adding an image. Its true "a picture is worth a thousand words". I use Canva to draw on the emotional response of my customers and groups. The images that I create draw much more engagement than a blog post that I spend days writing. I can create an impactful image in less than 30 minutes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Canva to easily create impactful images especially for social media managers. Such a quick, easy, no brainer
Great tool for novice users
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Canva is super easy to navigate even for novice users. I do not have any graphic design background or training but I am able to jump on Canva and produce beautiful, high quality work without having to go through extensive training on the tool and its best practices. Their templates give me a great base and the ability to easily navigate Canva without experience makes the tool essential to my work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could drag and drop images from my desktop rather than having to upload and save them to canva - it is a small complaint but sometimes does prove to be more of a hassle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Canva for most of our deign needs. We use it to make email and blog headers, to design content to go out to our clients, and to design beautiful slides for webinar presentations. We've found that is is easier to keep a consistent brand if our whole team operates using a single tool (Canva). History of previous content is saved so even new users are able to review and produce similar looking products.
Great project tool
What do you like best about the product?
The templates are modern, versatile, and colorful. I have been able to find proper templates and adjust them to my preferences for all projects that I have created with Canva(both personal and professional projects) . In addition, there are plenty of free templates and objects to use. Having a cloud space to save all of the materials created is very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The conversion and download of files sometimes fails. The autosave feature is both good and bad--having more control over what progress is being saved is sometimes helpful and eliminates mistakes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have created both flyers for academic and event purposes, as well as thank you cards, invitations, and brochures for personal use . There is something for everything and everyone.

Lifesaver

It can be a bit glitchy. It has crashed a few times without saving, which can be frustrating.

A must have business tool for freelancers
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Canva allows me to alter its many templated designs to fit my needs. People are impressed when I present a series of options to them. I'm not a graphic designer, but Canva allows me to complete light design work, which saves my clients money and means I get to keep more of my fees, instead of paying a subcontractor.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when I am flipping between designs or fonts, Canva can be slow or buggy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Canva to create designs for social media and other projects for my clients. I am not a graphic designer, but Canva allows me to create simple designs that I can use for posts, ads or graphics. This allows me to be a one-stop shop for my clients and saves me money on paying a subcontractor.
Canva is absolutely fantastic
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is absolutely fantastic. It is free and enables me to make high quality graphics for my small business and websites. Canva is easy to use and really is accurate when it says it enables anyone to become a designer. I also love the community feel to Canva; if you create a design that is really special, you can easily share it with other users.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that Canva had a better system for alerting users to graphics that are paid versus those that are free. When browsing the template library, I occasionally pick one that contains paid elements. I don't know this, however, until I am done downloading my image and am then told that I will need to pay. I wish I were alerted from the start that the image contains paid elements so that I could choose to use a different template. However, I assume this is a necessary evil for a free program with so many wonderful features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva has enabled me to take my small business to a whole other level. With Canva, my social media posts (especially on Pinterest and Instagram) look truly professional. Articles on my website have much better headers now, and I am finding that my traffic is increased thanks to the great graphics I am able to create. Canva is the best business solution I have found thus far; I really am very happy with it!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canva is absolutely fantastic and truly does enable anyone to become a designer!
Canva for Social Media Graphics
What do you like best about the product?
I am new to graphic design, and Canva has allowed me to teach myself and grow as a graphic designer. I love the provided layouts, the ease of adding various components to a design, and the quality finished products.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about Canva is that I can't add transparent logos to a graphic that is in a picture frame. However, this can be worked around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Canva to provide us with high-quality, professional-looking web graphics. The benefits are endless, including increasing our professional image, allowing us to grow in our graphic-design skills, and allowing us to use our business fonts and logos in all our designs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Canva! They not only provide an amazing graphic design software for beginners and experts alike, but they also have a "Design School" that addresses various topics and helps you learn more about design, social media, and marketing.
The best tool for designing high quality material
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, a very cost effective way to produce simple and beautiful design items. Especially great for doing a campaign ie poster, mailer, social media images, email signature etc
What do you dislike about the product?
No grid lines, sometimes a little slow and frustrating when formatting large chunks of text
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Producing quickly, efficiently and on brand material
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Introduce grid lines, make it easier to format text within text boxes ie highlight the heading into one font, and then below, the body text into another font, rather than having to split
