Powerful graphic design program (browser based)
What do you like best about the product?
I recommend Canva all the time for simple, beautiful looking graphic design projects. I like that the site allows for templates and using custom dimensions. I use this for designing posters in a 24"x36" size, then printing them at Walgreens.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the site allowed a bit more customizations for pre-made graphics and exporting options (high-quality JPG, etc.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this to design real estate listing posters, it's super easy to upload photos and make beautiful, cohesive designs in a WYSIWYG interface.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've seen people successfully use Canva for business cards, internet graphics and large posters.
Great for Custom Business Cards
What do you like best about the product?
Canva has a lot to offer for free that does not look hokey at all. I was able to make business cards for myself that looked very professional without paying an arm and a leg. I also appreciate that if I wanted to use something that did cost money it is very reasonably priced.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be useful if I could order right from the website or if I could save my layouts in a format that was ready to print double sided business cards from my own printer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since I wanted to be able to use specific business logos on my business cards I was struggling to find a way to create them that was cost effective. This was just the ticket for me and is something I can see using in the future for other business needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't mind doing some of the leg work yourself as far as designing goes this is a great site to get custom logos and banners for a very reasonable cost.
Use almost everyday!
What do you like best about the product?
How user-friendly this product is, even with the free version. This really helps out staff who work for non-profits that can't afford expensive graphic design software, or their staff don't have formal visual communication training. Being able to upload your own logo, photo, etc. and create easy designs for use especially for social media and web makes for a very versatile product. I know there are nice upgrades for subscribing to the Canva for Work -- haven't had tried that subscription before but it looks like there are some nice perks and features to using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it is web-based, often times there is lag when trying to design or save something with large photo files or in a large document. I haven't tried their slideshow feature that just went live recently, however when I did create slides using an original document size (not a template size), it really slowed and bogged down. Quite annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this online software, well, website anyway literally 3-5 days out of the week for work, and use the images and such for social media posts -- works great, really no complaints other than large (multi-page or multi-image) projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Can't speak for the paid subscription to Canva for Work -- but the free version/account is still great and gives you the basics for what you can use it for, still with a lot of features. For those that don't have a large marketing budget, this is a good option. If you don't own images, they sell thousands of stock images and graphics for $1 a piece, pretty economical even for a small business.
Amazing easy to use tool!
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use, lots of creative pieces, can upload your own images, low cost or free for most images
What do you dislike about the product?
have had difficulty loading in borders, layering of images doesnt always work (they sometimes just to full screen), can only adjust images evenly from the corners
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
great for creating quick images for social media when I have a time crunch that my graphics team cant meet
Create images for social media in a snap!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use! It is absolutely so simple and fast to create perfect images for social media. It literally takes a few minutes (or less) and you're able to use your own images to make awesome graphics in a pinch.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish there were more stock images for free. I feel the selection is very limited. Most of the images are only $1, but since they're used for something as simple as a wall post, I wish we had more options for free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to very very quickly create graphics to post on social media without needing to involve our graphic design team. They are very busy and handcrafted and quality graphics take time, so it's nice to have an option to still create good-looking images in mere minutes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need graphics in a pinch, I recommend this product! It's so easy to use and the images look great!
Canva is the easiest tool to quickly make quality designs
What do you like best about the product?
I LOVE Canva! It's one of my favorite tools in my marketing toolbox, and primarily free unless you're using as a team. I love their simple onboarding process, so you immediately know how to use the tool in the first five minutes of signing up. I love the ease of use. I love that you can store all of your branded materials to pull for future designs and I LOVE the easy templates that are perfectly sized for different social media outlets, etc. It makes creating a Twitter post, Facebook graphic, poster, etc. so much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few UI things--I wish you could zoom in to see small details. I also wish there were more font options, and being able to do a little more with the text alignment. Overall though, there's not much to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's perfect for when you don't have access to a designer and just need to create social media, blog posts, etc. quickly that are on brand. It's an incredible tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend using Canva. They released Canva for Work not that long ago, so you can also streamline designs between team members, or have your designer create templates for you once, and then you don't have to bug them, your team can just create their own designs. I would highly recommend this tool for small startups who don't have a big design budget, but still want to create professional, high quality posts to engage users.
Canva review
What do you like best about the product?
It's very simple - it's a great software to start playing with. Children would love it!
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe it's a little too simple for a lot of tasks! There not many editing buttons once you have your image in the frame. You also create quite minimalistic pieces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Good for creating Instagram posts!
Canva is a graphic designers dream!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy the program is to use. It is perfect for beginners, as well as more advanced graphic designers who want to supplement the work with photoshop.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that in the same group of text I cannot change the font size or font type. I wish it were a little more customizable. I also wish that text could be flipped horizontally and vertically. Right now, you can only flip JPG images.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been creating multiple projects for work through Canva including flyers, brochures, e-cards, signage, logos, etc. It has saved me countless hours of work I would have otherwise done on photoshop. It made me realize that anyone can use this program because it is so intuitive and easy to learn!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not be put off by the templates that cost money. I have been using Canva for almost 1 year now and have not paid a penny. There are ways around not paying - just use your own images instead of the Canva images.
Canva is amazing. And free.
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Canva allows me to upload my own images and create marketing materials in ways I couldn't have easily (or cheaply) done otherwise. I love that it "teaches" me to use it. I love that as a nonprofit, we can use Canva for Work for FREE.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that it were easier to change the orientation of a flyer, for example. I'd have to do a "magic resize" and create another document instead.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have successfully made beautiful marketing materials and invitations to events that look professional. Prior to this, I did a lot of work on pages and paint and microsoft word just to make relatively simple things. We have had a larger turnout at events and received compliments on the appearance of our flyers and other materials.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it! If you're a non-profit, definitely use it!
Canva is great for social media
What do you like best about the product?
Canva is a very easy way to create professional-looking graphics for use on social media. I love the various template and element options for inspiration, and they are easy to customize.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that when you choose a design type, you don't get to see ALL templates - only the ones for that design type. I think there are times when a template for a different design type could be adapted to another type.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva is great when I want something a little easier than starting from scratch in Photoshop or Illustrator. It also helps when I'm feeling less creative and stuck for ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Canva is fully functional as a free web app, so I'd absolutely give it a try! Just beware that there are custom templates or design elements that cost (but they are still affordable).
