My Personal experience About Canva
I'm a student and I'm working as a freelancer on Upwork and Freelancer application by using my phone and I provide clients Resume, Story Designs, Cover Letters, Card Designs and Logo Designs and that's possible because of Canva and Canva is an application that I can use in my photo that is 3Gb Ram and 32GB Rom, That's a slow processor mobile and Canva still work well.
PROSI like the templates on Canva that provided without a copyright claim and there are too many templates for Social Media Post Design, Ad Campaign, Profile Picture Designing and many more.
CONSthere are a thing a do not like in Canva mobile application when i select text and i write something then after complete the text if ill go back then I'll have to touch anywhere for having the tools of Canva.

Canva is Great for Social Media
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.
PROSIt'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.
CONSI 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.

A Great Alternative To Those Looking For Basic Image Creation & Editing
Overall, Canva has been invaluable to my business. Not needing to learn the nuances of an entire piece of software like Photoshop, or needing a workhorse of a computer to create basic graphics has allowed me to offer these services to my clients for a more full-package production.
PROSAs someone who isn't, I would say, "graphically inclined", Canva has been an invaluable tool for to create digital assets for clients. I typically create podcast and YouTube thumbnails for clients, and the tools that Canva provides makes it very simple for me to create consistent assets each week. from background removal, to filters, to fonts and layouts, I find it very easy to navigate and utilize.Additionally, since it is an online service, I can access my projects from anywhere that has an internet connection, which really helps me lean into my remote work business model.
CONSI do find that there are some image editing feature that it lacks in comparison to something like PhotoShop or Illustrator. Given the price point, that makes sense. but the odd time I'm looking for a specific tool and realize it's not there, it required me to find or create a bit of a work-around.
Reason for choosing Canva
Canva has a better price point, as well as a free version to test it out. It is also an online website-based platform which allows me to access my projects from anywhere with an internet connection. Additionally, i don't need a workhorse of a system to run it - just about any computer can utilize it.

royal history review of canva
My overall experience has been very positive. I found it to be very easy to use without needing to help for third parties. I found when working in a team was very easy either to send out doc to them or create a team.
PROSMost important to me is easy to use and understand as I am not good with computers. The templates are great to show how to manage a project. Easy to collaborate with others. Help section is very useful.
CONSI find it to be expensive compared to other similar sites. I also buying a domain name too expensive compared to namecheap. Thirdly I am confused about the creative licence with canva
Reason for choosing Canva
As canva is well known its easy to collaborate with others. Also it as more cool elements.

Overall, I've used canva to create a small little trailer for a movie. I wanted a bid and I think that was amazing because I actually came out really really well with just a little bit of work and a little bit of time!
PROSI really like Canberra for its vast options of creativity but I also really really really like the collaborative creations. Being able to send the link and let my team added in real time together is amazing!
CONSSometimes when searching throughout would find a really really cool picture or video and it would be locked behind a paywall but that's expected...

Incredibly useful tool for everything related to quick graphical output for social media
Canva feels like you took all the most used tools from Illustrator or CorelDraw, cut them down to basics, make them easy to use, combine it with some simple video editing features and add tons of templates and all the exporting options you could need. I create mainly content for social media and simple print flyers for our company and it does the job absolutely great. Of course you have to keep in mind that for more complex projects you should use more complex software, but for anything quick and simple this tool is ideal. When you use or get inspired by templates, it can make your graphical stuff look professional without much effort.
PROSIt is incredibly easy to use when you need to do something quick and you don't want to use more complex tools like CorelDraw/Adobe products. It has tons of templates which you can use directly or can be used for inspiration for your own stuff. What I like the most that you have already recommended sizes of different posts for social and print media, which are predefined. You can quickly switch between different sizes and adjustments are super easy. I also like that I can work with video and decently animate pictures. All the tools which you would probably need for simple and medium complex projects not only for social media. Also, the smartphone app is really useful, for some minor operations when you are on the go.
CONSAs far as I know, there is nothing I could complain about. It has everything I need for quick creation. It is not usual that you can find a tool which really does everything you would expect.
Reason for choosing Canva
I also use Adobe Spark from time to time because I have it prepaid in my Adobe creative cloud subscription but Canva has more options, more templates and is easier to use. The overall feel is more user friendly and you can make more with Canva if you use it well.

You can do it all on CANVA! You are only limited to your imagination.
Using and becoming familiar with CANVA has been a privilege I'm honored to have. My flyer making skills are now comparable to those who use expensive software's such as Illustrator or Photoshop, without the hassle of having to go through trainings or paying those hefty prices. It has made creating posts for social media so much easier and enjoyable. Editing on CANVA is a breeze, not even Publisher can compare.
PROSMy job demands flyers, banners and marketing materials to be made daily. You don't need a fancy software to do any of those things, all you need is CANVA. Canva is beyond user friendly. They give you all the tools needed to create any project, right at your fingertips. They are constantly adding new features and improving their old ones. They have plenty of templates to choose from which you can make your own or you can start completely from scratch. Although the paid version obviously has better options when it comes to clipart and different elements, however, there are a ton of free options to choose from that are sometimes just as good! I am constantly recommending CANVA to people in all different lines of work, because it really does work for anyone and anything.
CONSThe thing I like least about CANVA, which is in no way a deal breaker, is having to pay for the full version in order to have access to the best clipart/elements. However, I have always been able to complete my work and am always pleased with the finished product, all while using the free version.
Reasons for switching to Canva
Using CANVA has saved my company so much money, while producing similarly great market materials.

My Daily Branding Tool
Everything. I've been using Canva for a long time, starting for when I worked for a non-profit and we needed a cheap graphic design tool. They offered a free pro account to nonprofits so I was sold. Fast forward 2 years and I had built every one-pager, logo, flyer, web graphic + on Canva. Their branding feature makes it too easy to brand every graphic. I filter everything through Canva (labels, stickers) just because it's so dang easy to use. Also, it's where I fell in love with graphics and realized I had a real knack for design. I also thought I was terrible, but Photoshop was just to robust of a learning curve for me. I now use Canva for my personal business daily and I just started using the 'post to pinterest' feature they have. The posting and download in different file types feature is ridiculously time saving.
CONSThe only thing that comes to mind is when I create multiple graphics in one 'document', and then I go to schedule a post with one of those graphics. You can't go back into that document until it has posted. Although I understand, it does shift how I organize my posts to accommodate this issue.
Reasons for switching to Canva
Canva was so much easier to learn for the average person and cheaper.

A fantastic tool to design with ease!
It has greatly benefited us in that it has renewed our reputation in terms of the contribution to brand advertising. It aids in fostering clients' individuality and ingenuity. It has distinguished itself as a very beneficial product for meeting the demands of visual projects. I was able to use it with outstanding quality and effectiveness. It has aided in our comprehension of the value of having a strong image in terms of logos and exceptional designs.
PROSCanva is an application that I really enjoy using because it allows for the quick and easy development of designs. It has exceptional support for building positive relationships with problem solvers. Making any kind of logo is quite fun; all you have to do is pick a design and then alter the text color, some vectors, and the fonts to fit your preferences. Having a sizable picture library allows you to choose any of them quickly and without leaving the page.
CONSThe Canva UI needs to be a little more responsive because while I'm loading some templates, everything freezes for a while.
Reason for choosing Canva
I chose Canva because of all the features it incorporates and the advantages it provides to the company by assisting us in creating fantastic visual material that can be used in a variety of contexts. It has everything necessary to satisfy graphic design requirements and a little bit more. This material works well on PCs and mobile devices and doesn't require you to be an expert in design to use it.

CONSHonestly, I have nothing negative to say. I have already recommended it to many other agencies......

Excellent for "on-the-fly" design without the burden of $$$ software
I use canva all the time. Not just for business but also for quick and easy personal things like birthday party invites, social media graphics for personal feeds, and I even designed last years holiday postcards from my family in Canva! It does not replace Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign for more complex projects, but it's amazing for probably 80% of the design most people need.
PROSCanva is perfect for designers and non-designers alike. With Canva there is no longer ANY excuse to layout anything in Word, got it? It's easy to use, has all the basic elements you could need to create nearly all visual or print materials! Need graphics for emails? Check! Social media? Check! Postcards? CHECK. This is perfect for those who need light but flexible design options without the financial crush or learning curve of full blown Adobe products.
CONSThere's really nothing to dislike. Its' affordable, it's ay to use, it has plenty of options for elements and you can add your own if you want...
Reason for choosing Canva
I was already familiar with Canva, and ProCrea8 is great for illustration but I needed fluid layout features, and that's 100% Canva.

Easier than Photoshop
using canva completely transformed how I create content for my company. I do a variety of things from making flyers for events that are going on in my studio to creating YouTube videos. In both these scenarios I use Canva. I'm able to create beautiful thumbnails using Canva and I Would put the thumbnails I've made against any other popular YouTubers thumbnails. Canva proves that you don't need an expensive editing software and an arts degree to create beautiful designs for your company and your brand!
PROSI have to tell you I've been using Canva for several years now and It has made my life as The business owner and content creator much easier. I think what I like most about Canada is that it's a program that is built for would be designers to design things like thumbnails for platforms like YouTube or Facebook. Or create flyers and banners for Instagram and Facebook. What I like most is that it's much easier to use than a platform like Adobe Photoshop and it has a lot of the same features. Plus, they're always updating the software so just when you think you're going to have to switch over to using a new platform like Adobe they update things and add that one feature you've always wanted. Like for example the transparency feature that they just added a year or two back has been a real game changer for me. It's really helped me because now I've been able to make images have clear backgrounds and I don't believe that they used to have that. It's opened up possibilities for what I can do in the software. And by the way this is coming from someone who does know how to use Photoshop. I use Photoshop and I use Lightroom but I always go to Canva first because it's simpler to use and it's by far more accessible for beginners. Also, you don't have to use the premium service with Canva but I highly recommend it because the cost is rather low and you get access to so many different features like stock images and other editing tools that make the price worth it.
CONSOne of the only cons I can see with Canva is that I wish it had more editing tools. So, sometimes I do have to edit an image in an Adobe program but be honest that's very rare.
