What I like most is how easy it is to use on my phone and laptop, even with slow internet. The free templates for business posters and Instagram posts are very professional. It saves me money because I don't need to pay a designer. The drag and drop and image editing tools are vey simple for beginners. > > **Cons**: The main downside is that many of the best templates and elements require Canva Pro which is expensive in Rands. Sometimes the website is slow to load and video editing is limited compared toother tools. Also offline access is not good, you need internet. > > Overall my experience with Canva has been excellent. As a small business owner in South Africa I use it almost every week to create marketing materials. It is affordable with the free version, easy to learn without training, and helps me look professional to customers. I will continue using it and I recommend it to other small businesses who need quick designs. ----- ### "Confessions of a Canva Groupie: Is It Still the Best?" — 5.0/5 > **Yolandi** | *02 March 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: So much easier than Photoshop, user friendly and loads of templates for those who are just starting out. They also have a lot of app integrations that they update regularly. > > **Cons**: On the templates you can search for stock photos, the "add to album" and "report" button are way too close and the amount of times I've almost reported a photo instead of adding it to an album is more than I can count > > I've used Canva for 6 or 7 years and I have not regretted spending money on a subscription once. It was the first software I paid for in my business, and even when the going gets tough, it is still the only software that I pay for. ----- ### "Great for beginners." — 4.0/5 > **Amahle** | *20 August 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple,user friendly, has AI powdered tools, quite reasonable and affordable to use. The app guides you and give you many templates, very helpful and great experience for beginners > > **Cons**: Has limited access to premium resources, sometimes glitches here and there. Many features need you to be online in order to edit them. > > Canva helps me make nice designs even though I am not a designer. It is simple to use, and I can create posters, flyers, and social media posts fast. The free version is good but sometimes I wish more things were free. Still it saves me a lot of time. ----- ### "Canva review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 January 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It easy to use with content and proposal > > **Cons**: The monthly subscription fee that I must pay > > Canva made life easy for me with creating my portfolio content without any problem ----- ### "Never look back" — 5.0/5 > **Marianne** | *11 December 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The simplicity of the application. and it's so cost-effective. > > **Cons**: You cannot group your designs or upload them to folders. > > Honestly speaking this application has helped me tremendously with my digital marketing design requirements.
