A great design platform for those with little graphic design background!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Canva is so easy to use! As a social media and community manager it was frustrating to have to constantly contact an expensive graphic designer in order to make great graphics to accompany content. With this platform I can go in and make whatever I need graphic wise. There are pre-made dimensions for the major social media platforms and if you need something custom made there is a custom dimension option as well. It works great to share designs with my team and get feedback as well on where the design needs improvement. Super easy to download the image and then upload it into whatever I need. It's truly a lifesaver.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even when you buy a subscription outside of the free Canva version you still have to pay for a lot of the graphics or pre-made templates. Though they offer a good variety of free ones, often the best graphics are a dollar each. It does force you to get creative making your own templates and searching for free graphics online to get the look you really desire. I understand Canva needs to make money, however, I feel like most people probably go find their graphics free online somewhere else when Canva could just offer them and make money a different way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My main problem Canva solves is providing quick graphic design solutions, cutting down on costs for the business as a whole. Graphic designers are often expensive and take time to communicate with on what the overall design should look like. Though graphic designers they are much needed and appreciated, for simple social media graphics Canva provides a quick, money saving solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Seriously go try it out now, you will love it. You can even stay with the free solution to do a majority of the things you need to start designing great social media graphics, ads, and banners. Though graphic designers are wonderful, you don't need to go to them for every custom graphic. With canva you can make them look amazing all on your own. There's nothing to lose.

Canva is a game changer
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that I can open up Canva, choose a format (in the correct size for various social media and print uses), choose from their professionally designed templates, change the copy and add a picture - and have a beautiful graphic ready to post in minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing your designs for approval or with editing rights with someone else is still a bit wonky unless you have Canva for Work (their premium product, about US$10/mo).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For small business and even big brands, Canva is a powerful tool to create professional-looking visuals for social media and print. Even as a trained designer, I most often choose Canva over Adobe Creative Suite to produce my social media graphics. It's super fast and easy and you're never starting from a blank canvas (unless you want to). I love that there is an iOS app too, so I can make graphics and share easily on sites like Instagram.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider upgrading to Canva for Work if you collaborate with others and want to maintain a consistent brand. You can upload your own fonts, set default brand colors, organize your logos and other graphics into sharable folders, and more. It really is worth it.
Canva is a dream
What do you like best about the product?
The customization, availability of features and price!
What do you dislike about the product?
I have used other similar platforms that I think have better icons available and way more that are good AND free. But this does not stop me from using Canva above those other platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Canva for Marketing on so many levels from hard copy collateral, event graphics, to social posts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Canva! Seriously. That's it. It's an amazing alternative to complex design software.
Absolutely love it
What do you like best about the product?
It is so easy to use and customize. There are so many options to choose from.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I do not like about Canva.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this for business and personal use for social media, email, website, resume and more.
Makes Designing for Social Media Easy!
What do you like best about the product?
Canva really stands out for being easy to use while still having a broad range of features. I love the built-in layouts and filters. The magic resizer (paid only) means that I can use the same basic layout and images in a brand new size, and Canva will get everything to look just about right.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the snap-to-grid functionality is a little overzealous. This is only really an issue when I'm using the built-in layouts. It can make it tricky to add, say, a logo to the corner of a built-in layout.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need to create images for social media as well as mockups of more significant print pieces. I can use Canva instead of Photoshop or InDesign for simple projects--which makes them feel, well, simpler!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have non-design folks who need to do some basic design work, Canva is a great tool.
Great free alternative for design
What do you like best about the product?
Love that you're able to save past designs and recreate them for additional use, or pick from a library of ideas to get started. Also love the 'sharing' function so team members can share designs amongst themselves.
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been a few glitches where my work did not save automatically, and I lost the design I was working on. It was definitely an internet server error, but very frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing/advertising design for social media, blog posts, email blasts, internal use, event promotion, etc
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Utilize the 'share editable design' function amongst team members. So easy and efficient if working on a project as a team.
Canva - the best thing ever!
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly, I love just about every feature Canva has to offer! Resizing, low cost, free images, branding...I could go on and on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when my final product gets out of alignment when I save. I would like to be able to sort the images provided by seeing the free ones first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Canva is easy to use and saves me tons of time with the magic resize feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it. You can't possibly regret it.
So, so good.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. I like that everything is saved for me, including uploads, previous works, etc. One place for everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it freaks out and hasn't saved my work and I lose it. Talk about frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't need a graphic design software (or staff) because my aptitudes with Canva's functionality prove sufficient.
