Reviewers praise Canva for fast, polished outputs, easy collaboration, and a generous free tier, with Pro unlocking helpful brand tools. Common gripes: cluttered UI as features expand, messy file organization, limited advanced controls, and paywalled assets or exports. Extra weight from founders: makers of

Developing designs, presentations and videos is very easy with Canva. My only complaint is the lack of good organization system. You can add your own folders, but the folder system is quite cumbersome, and non-intuitive.

After being purchased by Atlassian this summer, this product has gone downhill. They now put notification settings behind a paywall and spam you with emails. If you try to get them to stop they say "We understand that you really wanted to stop receiving notification on your team. However, as what we've mentioned to our previous emails. That option is only available if you're subscribe to Canva Pro or Canva for Teams." This is blatant strong arming of customers to move to a paid or higher paid tier. The product may be good, but the management and company practice is awful.

Thank you for this product! It saved me a lot of money. I use it for my organization's Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, booklets, and other printed materials. There are a lot of excellent templates, and even newbies can make lovely designs using them.

I love using it. As a graphic designer who's conversant with Photoshop and the like, I like canva for it's ease of creating simple fast designs on the go.

I love using canva in my daily life and also in my work, it is very objective, easy to use and you can make simple and amateur art but you can also do something super professional, in addition to being a great tool to learn and search references

I don't know of any tool that makes it possible to create appealing designs for any project so quickly. The templates that are already offered also facilitate the work enormously. The cost-benefit ratio is also fantastic.

I use Canva on a daily basis for all my website graphic designs, social media posts and designing print advertisements. Canva is a core toolset for my business.

I use Canva in my business (I make Twitch logos, banners, panels, etc) and for personal use on an almost daily basis. It’s super easy to use for basic things but you can also create amazing things on it too.
