Comment summary: Canva is praised for being user-friendly and accessible, especially for non-designers. It offers a vast library of templates, fonts, and images, making it easy to create stunning visuals quickly. Some drawbacks include occasional server crashes and limitations in the free version, such as locked features and a reliance on online access. Despite these issues, users appreciate its ease of use, pre-made templates, and optional premium assets.

Canva is the answer for those who need to design something quickly and throw something together without a hassle. It is extremely easy to use and design a variety of things, be it brochures, logos, images or even business cards. Unlike other graphic design programs out there, this one requires very little learning - which makes it a winner in my book. It's beauty lies in stripping all the complex tools and instructions to making something even a child in kindergarten can use.

Another "web app" that can't perform even a single task without making an account, or of course giving them one of your personal accounts from another site like google.

This is not appropriate, private or secure.

Canva has been a huge help in so many areas of my life! I’ve used it to create everything from Valentine’s and birthday cards to professional presentations for work. The templates are beautiful, easy to customize, and save me so much time.

Versatile and has many, many, many features that you wouldn't even think of. Creating on Canva is limitless.

Canva is an excellent tool for those seeking straightforward access to illustrations while being able to create designs instantly. However, one significant drawback is the absence of a layering system that allows users to manage and distinguish between different layers. Additionally, many illustrations are locked behind a hefty monthly or yearly subscription fee, which can be quite steep.
