Overall Satisfaction with Canva

I am the social media manager for our school district. I use Canva to create website announcements, Instagram posts, Facebook posts, cover photos for all social media accounts, and more. I have also created hallway banners, promotional materials for events, and utilized some of their newer features that allow integration of videos into posts.
  • Social media posts
  • Promotional materials
  • The UI can be finicky and hard to use at times
  • Items don't always manipulate as you'd expect
  • Increases our social media following
  • Makes our content more appealing
  • Makes our website stand out from others
I haven't actively tried any of the alternatives. I started using Canva about two to three years ago when it was in its infancy. The usability has increased tenfold since then. There were very frustrating times in past years but their design team has improved on just about all of those issues. From my research, the alternatives (Adobe InDesign, Desygner, etc.) have a steeper learning curve than Canva and may not quite be as beginner friendly.

It's not perfect, but it's the best I have found that does what I need to get done for my job. It's suited well for anything social media related. There is such a wide variety of templates available that even the beginner to graphic design can make some pretty captivating graphics with Canva. It's not appropriate if your main work duties involve creating spreadsheets and/or Word documents.
