Overall Satisfaction with Canva

Canva is a dream tool for any organization or business! It makes designing a quick social media post fast and easy - I just used it today for Instagram. I have also utilized Canva to create print flyers when I am pressed for time. Their templates are really great and easily unique with your own photos and colors. I love that I am able to customize colors, but I do find the fonts limiting. The free version is useful and if you are lacking a designer on your team, upgrading is worth it!
  • Readily designed templates - all you have to do is change the words!
  • Free!! (Or affordable).
  • The graphics included in the free version are simple and tacky that I rarely use them.
  • Limited image selection - maybe they could partner with more photo stock websites.
  • Post regularly on social media improving engagement ratings and SEO.
  • Saves money on design software.
Canva is easier to use, fast, takes up less space, and ultimately does not require a lot of thinking. While I still use the Adobe Creative Suite for impact brochures or annual reports for non-profits, I turn to Canva for social media posts. Even if I just need a square with text on top!
I have not had to reach out to support which I think tells you that it is a really intuitive software. That being said, they have a purple chat button on the button of the page that can help you when you are stuck. As a leading design software, I imagine it is fast.

Canva is perfect for social media and print flyers when you need to make them quick and easy. Especially for teams with no designer and a small budget (can't afford Adobe's outrageous prices!). I would shy away from using it for infographics or anything that is very tied to a company brand because it will quickly look generic.
