Overall I love it and think it's definitely worth the money. It was the first purchase I made when I started my business nearly 5 years ago. Other than the folder/search stuff, I have no complaints.

Pros

Easy to use and not complicated like InDesign or other design tools that are out there. It's easy to collaborate with other staff members on projects as well.

Cons

The folder hierarchy is terrible. It's so hard to sort things by folders and the search function isn't efficient. Oftentimes I'll have to dig a bit to find what I'm looking for.

User-Friendly App for Beginners with Professional Results

Reviewed on 2024/10/02

Pros

It's a great app, easy to use, and offers a variety of options for users to be creative with their designs. Suitable for beginners, but with professional level output.

Cons

There are still limitations in design options and animation features. The animation options in video editing needs some development.

It's not bad for someone with no design experience as long as they are willing to pay more for printing. For the higher cost of printing you could pay a professional such as myself to design for you and print at a lower cost and higher quality. The application is bad for the overall marketing industry because it has lowered the quality standard and impact of advertisements being created by business owners who think they understand marketing, design and printing. I recently said to one of my clients who owns a high end auto detailing business and tried to create some marketing materials on his own, "I don't now how to properly wax and detail my vehicle. I would probably ruin the paint job somehow if I were to do it myself. That's why I hire a professional. I wouldn't expect you to be able to handle a design, print and marketing job either because that's not what you do." In short, stick to what you know and leave the rest to professionals. It will cost you less in the long run.

Pros

It's very easy to use and offers a ton of design content for free. You don't necessarily need to search outside of Canva for images but you can if you want. It's great for designing simple social banners or marketing materials quickly but there is a catch. They are trying to sell you printing services and their pricing is not competitive with quality printers.

Cons

I recommend Canva to clients who need to create social media marketing images. I have worked with clients who need me to print postcards, flyers or brochures that they designed on Canva and there are issues. Canva is trying to sell printing services. Their design templates are sized and setup for the printer companies they outsource to. If you design on Canva and download the files to send to a professional printer then those files are not setup correctly and require alterations to be printed. That's if there is room for alterations, but not all designs will allow for easy alteration so therefore the customer is forced to print on Canva at higher costs.

The workflow is further streamlined by Canva's integrations with various programs and platforms, including as Dropbox, Google Drive, and social media sites, which facilitate the import and export of files as well as the sharing and immediate publication of designs. Time is saved and the possibility of mistakes is decreased by this integration, which lessens the need to transition between several platforms and tools.

Pros

The thing that I value most about Canva as the Director of Brand Management is that it's so simple to use and accessible, allowing anyone on our team to produce designs of a high caliber without needing too much graphic design knowledge. It's easy for anyone to create visually attractive content fast with Canva's user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, whether they're creating presentations, social media graphics, internal papers, or marketing collateral. We can maintain consistent branding across all our visual communications and greatly increase our team's productivity because to its user-friendliness.

Cons

Canva's limited customization and sophisticated design skills in comparison to more professional graphic design software are my main concerns as the Director of Brand Management.
