"Good tool for non-designers who need clean visuals"
What do you like best about Canva?

what i like most about the Canva is how easy and fast it is to create clean visuals without being a designer. as a developer, i don't want to spend too much time on design, and Canva helps me quickly put together presentations, diagrams, and simple graphics. The read-made templates, icons, and layouts save a lot of time, especially when i need something presentable on short notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

sometime free version feels a bit limited with many good templates and elements locked behind the paid plan. For more detailed or technical designs, Canva can also feel restrictive compared to advanced design tools. When working on the large files, it may feel slightly slow in the browser.

"Effortless Design for Everyday Needs—A Must-Have for Non-Designers"
What do you like best about Canva?

I really appreciate how simple it is to accomplish tasks without needing to rely on a marketing team or someone with a design background. As a software engineer, I'm accustomed to tools with steep learning curves, but Canva is the exact opposite—I find myself using it almost every day for various needs. For my work team, I can quickly create a poster for a meetup or a team lunch in about ten minutes, thanks to the intuitive drag-and-drop interface. The sheer number of features is impressive, especially considering it all runs in a browser.

On a personal note, I use Canva for everything related to my dad's business, from business cards to the large billboards you see on the road. The brand kit feature is incredibly helpful because I can save his business logos and specific colors just once, ensuring that every letterhead or bill book I design remains consistent without having to look up hex codes each time.

Getting started was practically instant since there’s nothing to install, which I find very convenient. I also appreciate how well it integrates with other platforms—I can easily pull in photos from Google Drive or post directly to social media. I haven’t needed customer support much because the tool is so reliable, but the few times I checked the help guides, they were genuinely useful. Occasionally, the snapping of elements can be a bit tricky when working on detailed layouts for bill books, but that’s a minor inconvenience compared to the overall speed and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

One thing that really frustrates me about this tool is how it manages precise layouts, especially when I'm working on technical designs like a bill book or a detailed price list for my dad's business. As an engineer, I prefer everything to be pixel perfect, but Canva often snaps elements into positions I don't want, which can be quite annoying. It sometimes feels like the software is trying to be overly helpful, but in reality, it just makes it difficult to move a line by even the smallest amount when that's exactly what I need.

"The Ultimate Tool for Fast, Professional Design and Unleashing Creativity Despite Some Caveats."
What do you like best about Canva?

Overall, I think Canva is an excellent all-in-one design platform that has found the perfect sweet spot between an astonishing number of features and a totally intuitive drag-and-drop interface, which ensures outstanding Ease of Use and enables immediate Ease of Implementation by users of any level of competence. The main strengths are the extensive template library and asset repository, while strong AI-powered tools ease even the most complex tasks, adding to its high daily Frequency of Use. The platform does exceptionally well in real-time collaboration and advanced brand kit management, showcasing its great Ease of Integration with workflows and other tools. Besides that, responsive and helpful Customer Support serves as insurance during the whole onboarding and advanced design process, making it smooth, efficient, and highly recommendable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

Firstly, I would say that the issues are related to the complexity of the interface matured from a simple tool to a full ecosystem that may be quite limiting and bug-prone. For instance, the sales drive of the interface to upgrade to a better version by displaying its best AI features, locked premium features, and version differentiation might disturb the creative process since it keeps you in mind that the best things are behind a paywall. In addition, for complex designs with a lot of features, it is a potential problem since it may slow down the browser-based editor occasionally. In addition to that, although it has a simply excellent editor, its layer management, custom shapes, and typographic features are not quite precise compared to a full-scale piece of software such as Adobe Illustrator, which has full pixel perfection for professional designers. Lastly, it is so user-friendly that it has a distinct Canva look to it since it demands additional work to design a completely new image for a brand identity.

"Canva makes design and writing easy, growing with the latest technologies."
What do you like best about Canva?

I like Canva bcoz it is easy for users to use like it is user friendly and saves time. I'm from technical background, even though I am not having any designing knowledge but with the help of canva I can design or create poster, ppt, proposals, solution documents, resumes and posts also it became easier because it has ready to use templets, fonts, icons, images and now they have added AI also. The drag and drop and upload feature make editing faster than other editing apps. Now I need to design solution document in my current role, so I Frequently use Canva. Overall, Canva gives makes things available to use so, it's useful for beginners as well as professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

Honestly, one thing I dislike is that many good features and elements are available only for paid version. Also, every time internet connection is required, which can be a problem when the network is slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and User-Friendly, But Needs AI Improvements"
What do you like best about Canva?

I use Canva for 95% of my images, creating them for clients, myself, work, and for fun. It's fast, easy, and the learning curve is complete, plus it's a lot less complicated than Adobe. I love that Canva now has improved organizational capabilities, allowing me to organize client projects better. This feature saves me time when I need to find something specific I've created in the past for a client or myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

The AI ability isn't that great yet, and the 3rd party apps do not work well for me. I've been asked to beta test features, but the beta features never work for me. Support for these special 'groups' is not that great either. I never get support when I submit the issues I have. Best to stick with what works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Editing Features, Needs More Graphics"
What do you like best about Canva?

I use Canva for photo editing and find it has many benefits. I can simply add most of the graphics from it, and there are lots of font styles and editing tools, which is very good for me. I like already edited image preferences the most because it gives me more ideas for my images every time. The font tool is especially valuable to me because text plays a main role in most images, and it's the one thing that can make a picture good or bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

I recently got a problem when editing my daily planner timetable sheet. When I overlay more than 2 images they start glitching and stop being visible. I think they can add more stickers or graphics so I can edit better images without relying on other stickers to download from different sources. Sometimes I need new meme stickers, and other than this, some cute and adorable stickers would be good to add. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Ultimate Creative Platform for Stunning Designs"
What do you like best about Canva?

I would definitely like to recommend canva to my friends and colleagues because this is one and only platform that has huge variety of photo and video editing tools. It not only edits the digital contents but it also creates premium design for business and personal usage. If a person is creative then then this tool is like a whiteboard for showing their skills Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

Canva is a platform which is filled with different type of editing features and I don't feel that there is any professional editor who won't like the tools and creativity of this platform. It is just that if a user is completely new to designing then he might get confused in the beginning otherwise it is a great tool and businesses should must try it.

"Canva Ai for graphic designing works"
What do you like best about Canva?

i liked & super excited using Canva Ai, Because I'm a graphics designer with a simple prompt I can design a poster like create me a coffee ad post for Instagram within few seconds it will create and I can give some edit prompts and the final output just amazing as a graphics designer, canva simplify my work. Then other than AI canva give free templates it is super useful so a YouTube thumbnail or a Instagram post with a few changes I can create it. So Canva in my opinion it is super simplified to make a content as a graphics designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

Canva it's not work correct in all the time, it make mistakes like while creating a post the AI feature that is implemented very well but sometimes it give wrong result. So in my opinion they want to improve the AI feature. Then Canva always push the premium subscription because in free version there is so many limitations, so you want to use Canva for work you want to pay the premium then the premium also little by high.

What do you like best about Canva?

As Canva is the multipurpose tool for any kind of photo and video editing along with graphic designing tools. The software is already integrated with different type of copyright free photos and videos website to be used as elements on the designs. Making creative designs becomes so much easier with canva. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canva?

The software is lashed with different type of designing tools and elements so it is quite difficult to pin point a particular con but if you are not a student and want to use this platform professionally for designing purposes then it's premium plan is little costly in the beginning according to my experience but if you can utilise it properly then it is totally worth it.
