What do users say about Canva?

I use Canva to create product covers, banners, product listings, promo images, and social media posts for my Shopee store. I like how easy it is to use and the number of ready-made templates. Even without design skills, I can drag and drop to create beautiful covers. The Shopee templates and background remover save me hours of work. I can create professional designs myself in minutes instead of hiring a designer, which saves me time and money and makes my store look much more professional. Canva is faster and less complicated than PicsArt or Photoshop. Setup was super easy: I created an account and started designing without installing complicated software, and I made my first Shopee product cover in less than 15 minutes. I can export designs from Canva and upload them directly to my Shopee store. Canva is easy and fast, makes my products look professional, and has helped me increase my sales.

Sometimes the Canva mobile app is a bit slow, and I’d like it to be faster and more stable when I edit high-resolution product images. Some premium templates are only available in Pro, and I’d like more free templates for e-commerce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the variety of templates, icons, apps, and extensions of Canva. I use it for presentations, and the tools for removing backgrounds and increasing image resolution are very helpful. Increasing the resolution helps me when the images I have for a project are pixelated or of poor quality, and removing the background is useful for icons and illustrations. Additionally, Canva is very user-friendly and not complicated to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The option to remove text from a photo doesn't work very well and sometimes leaves a smudge where something was. They should also improve the function to convert a 2D drawing to 3D, because it looks very generic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve used Canva for every job I’ve had after uni, creating social media cards, PDFs, presentations, and videos. I also love playing around and getting creative with it personally, making birthday invites, yearly calendars, family invites, and cards for friends. It makes creative tools accessible, gives me ideas and inspiration, and means I don’t need multiple subscriptions for different things. Canva is easy to use, and I’ve been able to do intricate design work in it. My premium account is so worth it. The new AI feature is really cool, and I love that I can edit documents and photos on the go, whether I need a quick edit or want to work on a more in-depth project. I use ChatGPT to help create templates in Canva, and it’s so brilliant. Setting it up was 10/10. I’m a longstanding fan and would recommend Canva 10/10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Canva is a bit finicky when I’m moving things around, and layering can get complicated, especially with intricate work. I haven’t learned all the shortcuts and hotkeys yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Canva has been an excellent design tool for creating high-quality visuals. The wide variety of professionally designed templates makes it easy to create attractive graphics, even without advanced design skills. I especially enjoyed using Canva for picture creation, as the interface is intuitive, fast, and user-friendly. It saves time while delivering polished results. Overall, my experience has been very positive, and I would highly recommend Canva to anyone looking for an efficient and reliable design platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I had a very positive experience with Canva, and I didn't face any major issues. The only minor drawback is that it can sometimes take a little time to find specific icons, symbols, or design elements because of the large library available. However, once you locate the right assets, the design process is smooth and efficient. This is a small inconvenience and doesn't affect the overall user experience.

I use Canva for my History Club posts, flyers, and content creation. It’s very easy to use, and I like the simple interface and having lots of photos and assets in one place, so I rarely have to search Google for pictures. I like the Elements tab because it gives me lots of options to enhance my designs, and I can export in high quality. I also like being able to make presentations and slideshows because it saves me time. Canva has a lot of free options and feels friendlier to use than CapCut, and getting set up was super easy.

I wish Canva's non-Pro version had a chroma key to remove green screens. The app is also sometimes slow on the front end, such as when I’m browsing templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Canva for social media designs, presentations, and my resume. It solves my design problems without needing expensive software like Photoshop and saves me a lot of time with its ready-made templates. I love the easy drag-and-drop feature and the many templates, making it very simple to use and making my designs look professional. I also appreciate the magic resize, templates, and background remover features, which save me time. The initial setup was very easy and fast, with no problem. Overall, I highly recommend Canva; it's the best overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Canva gets slow, especially with big files, which can be frustrating. Also, many of the good templates are paid, so you have to spend money to access them. It would be really helpful if there were an offline mode since that would make it more accessible on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Canva for PPTs and template making because it has a very friendly, easy-to-use UI, along with AI features like the “Magic Studio” suite of tools (Magic Design, Magic Media, and Magic Write). You can build, write, and edit designs instantly using text prompts directly in your workspace. It’s also fast, affordable, and integrates well, and the AI tools save me time while keeping performance smooth. Overall, it’s great value, with useful AI and excellent collaboration features you can share online through the Canva site, which is great support for teamwork.

Canva has a major setback: most of its top-notch templates, graphics, and tools are only available if you have a paid Pro account. Even though the free version is already pretty good, if you’re taking on a more in-depth project, you’ll likely find it too restrictive. Plus, the program can really slow down when you’re building a large or complicated design, and this is especially noticeable if you’re working in a web browser.

I’m not a designer, but with Canva I feel like I can design almost anything. It helps me tap into my creativity and bring out ideas I didn’t even know I had. My favorite feature is resize, because It save me a lot of time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Usually, when they roll out updates, it takes a little time before everything works properly. This happened when they introduced the new video editing feature: it was very slow, and the page kept crashing all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's barely any gap between an idea and a finished graphic — the drag-and-drop editor and huge template library let me put together a banner, presentation, or social post in minutes, no design skills needed. It stays responsive even with large files or multiple people editing at once, integrates smoothly with things like Google Drive, and the brand kit keeps colors, fonts, and logos consistent across everything. The free tier alone covers a lot, and when I did need help, the tutorials answered it fast without a support ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the more advanced design controls (precise layer management, fine-grained typography) still feel limited compared to dedicated design software, so complex custom work occasionally hits a ceiling. A few premium templates and elements are locked behind the paid tier, which isn't a dealbreaker but comes up often enough to notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform completely breaks down the fear of designing; thanks to its ultra-smooth drag-and-drop interface and thousands of meticulously pre-designed templates, any user—whether a university professor wanting to transform traditional lectures into visually interactive pathways, an innovator building the visual identity for a startup initiative, or a digital content creator—can produce stunning designs, covers, and presentations in just a few minutes with minimal effort.

While its simplicity is its biggest advantage, professional designers and advanced users often hit a wall due to the lack of granular design control, such as precise path editing (vector manipulation) or advanced layer styling. Additionally, because the templates are heavily used worldwide, it can sometimes be challenging to create a truly unique visual identity, as many designs end up looking similar across the web.
