Canva

Vorteile

Schnelles Onboarding und schnelle Umsetzung

Nachteile

in der kostenfreien Variante sind zuviel limitierte Auswahlmöglichkeiten

Vorteile

Eigentlich Top Tool, das man gerne verwendet, vor allem in der Pro-Version. Aber Finger weg: die Bilder mit Krönchen, die Canva anbietet können zu Urheberrechtsverletzungen führen, die einem Unternehmen gefährlich werden können. Eindringliche Warnung also an alle.

Nachteile

Man kann gerade nur vor Canva Pro warnen. Canva hat gewaltige Probleme mit Urheberrechtsverletzungen, d. h. dieser australische Konzern „verkauft“ in Deutschland in seiner Pro-Version Bildmaterial, das ihm nicht gehört, und nicht der Konzern wird abgeklagt, sondern der Nutzer, der das natürlich gar nicht wissen kann. Und Canva zu verklagen, ist dann dasselbe, wie z. B. Facebook verklagen zu wollen. Im deutschen Urheberrecht gilt zudem nicht gutmeinende Erwerb. Man also vor der Verwendung von Canva-Pro-Material nur eindringlich warnen. Hier betrügt ein internationaler Konzern seine gutmeinenden Nutzer. Am Ende bleibt dann nur noch das Löschen von Social-Media-Profilen, da retrograd alle Posts gelöscht werden müssten, die Canva-Bildmaterial beinhalten, das beanstandet wird, was natürlich unmöglich ist. Finger weg! Kleinere Unternehmen werden so an den Rand des Ruins gebracht.

Vorteile

Die Plattform ist sehr intuitiv, auch für diejenigen, die keine Design-Erfahrung haben. Canva bietet eine beeindruckende Auswahl an Vorlagen für fast jede Anwendung, von Visitenkarten bis hin zu Instagram-Storys. Die kostenlose Version ist leistungsstark, und die Pro-Version bietet zusätzliche Features wie Premium-Inhalte, Marken-Kits und mehr Speicherplatz.

Nachteile

Ohne Internetzugang ist der Zugriff auf Designs und deren Bearbeitung nicht möglich, da Canva keine lokalen Dateien speichert.
Obwohl die Basisversion kostenlos ist, sind viele fortgeschrittene Funktionen und Inhalte nur in der kostenpflichtigen Pro-Version verfügbar. Für Einzelpersonen oder kleine Teams können diese Kosten eine Hürde darstellen.

Vorteile

Ohne grafische Ausbildung tolle Designs erstellen zu können.

Nachteile

Aber bisher nichts Negatives entdeckt. Arbeite mit der Pro- Version.

Vorteile

Die Einfachheit. Spiegelt sich leider auch in allem anderen wieder.

Nachteile

Es funktioniert nicht wie geplant. Der Kundenservice verschickt Boomer-Anleitungen.

Vorteile

Ich finde mit Canva bekomme ich die meiste Aufmerksamkeit alles Kunden. Ich bearbeite meine Bilder und Grafiken. Es ist sehr hilfreich für mein Instagram.

Nachteile

Die angebotenen Grafiken haben manchmal Copyright Probleme haben. Das kann dann teuer werden.

Vorteile

Man muss kein Grafikdesign-Profi sein, um mit Canva schon nach kurzer Zeit ansprechende Designs für Social Media, Websites und sogar Print zu kreieren (wobei es hier noch Schwächen gibt). Zudem enthält Canva einen recht tauglichen Video-Editor und in der Pro-Variante einen großen Fundus an Video- und Audio-Footage.

Nachteile

Da eine starke Ausrichtung auf Webdesign hat, zeit es bei der Erstellung von Printprodukten einige Schwächen. So ist es zum Beispiel nicht möglich, Farbprofile zu hinterlegen. Beschnitt ist nicht individuell einstellbar, hier gibt es nur die Optionen "mit Beschnitt" oder ohne.

Vorteile

Die Software ist übersichtlich und leicht zu bedienen. deswegen hätte ich auch gern die pro Version genutzt

Nachteile

Monatliche Abbuchung mit Upgrade auf 1 Jahr
Ich hatte die monatliche Abbuchung gewählt und alles funktionierte großartig. Bei der Umbuchung auf das Jahresabo scheint dann etwas schief gelaufen zu sein. Denn das Geld wurde zwar vom Konto abgebucht, doch alle Pro Features waren nicht mehr zugänglich. Ich schrieb unzählige Mails an den Support - denn es gibt KEIN Telefonischen Support. Es kam KEINE Antwort. Ich lasse heute das Geld von der Kreditkarte zurückbuchen.

Insgesamt ist das Buchungssystem bei Canva als mangelhaft zu beschreiben. Bei mir funktionierte es nur über I Tunes beim Handy. Sofortüberweisung, Paypal, Kreditkarte Fehlanzeige. Da tritt immer eine Fehleranzeige auf.

Tolle Seite - mieser Service.

Vorteile

Es gibt kaum eine Software, mit der ich lieber arbeite. Durch die guten Templates erstelle ich fast alle Dokumente hier, mittlerweile auch Videos, Social Media Grafiken und Präsentationen. Die Ergebnisse sind ausnahmslos sehr überzeugend.

Nachteile

Es fällt ja schwer das zu glauben, aber diese Software ist schon hervorragend und wird mit weiteren Funktionen immer besser. Hier vermisse ich nichts, alles funktioniert einwandfrei, und mehr, es macht sogar viel Spaß, damit zu arbeiten.

Vorteile

die Einfachheit der Bedienung, die Auswahl an Möglichkeiten zur Gestaltung, das drag and drop system

Nachteile

Die Ergebnisse gesuchter Begriffe sind mir manchmal etwas unschlüssig

Vorteile

Canva ist leicht zu bedienen! Es macht Spaß dein Design zu kreieren.

Nachteile

Canva ist für mich nicht erreichbar. Kein Telefon, keine E-Mail. Nur ein Support, auf meine dringende Frage habe ich nach fast einer Woche noch immer keine Antwort! Mein pro Account ist plötzlich nicht mehr aktiv und ich erhalte keinen Support. Sehr ärgerlich. Schade

Vorteile

I love the templates and how user friendly they are. I also love the fact that I can use someone's template and then customise it making it my own.

Even more important is that as an educator I can upload my lesson plans and other resources using the app and add my students to my account, so we can all work on the same project at the same time. It is very efficient and my students love it.

Nachteile

Some of the AI features are not as great as I would like them to be, but I am hoping that improvements will be made as they go along and continue to add new features to the site.

Vorteile

Impressively user-friendly interface, vast template library, and excellent options for full-fledged customization. Canva will easily make graphic design approachable for even the most novice amateurs, but the advanced features found here make it perfect for professionals. Great tool for creative projects!

Nachteile

It doesn't cost anything, but the free version is limited because you'll have less access to those premium templates. Sometimes collaboration tools are clunky, but the app sometimes lags behind for complicated designs.

Vorteile

The countless number of integrations that Canvas's software let's you choose from is AMAZING

Nachteile

The selection of graphics and photos is numbered unless you pay for them.

Warum Canva gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Canva

Vorteile

Canva is extremely user-friendly, with an easy-to-navigate interface, AI-assistance with designs, and can be integrated with numerous apps. This makes creating unique QR codes, finding the perfect layout for various types of social media posts, and developing detailed documents easier than ever. With Canva Pro, you have access to a large library of stock videos, images, and photos.

Nachteile

Canva's customer support is difficult to get ahold of. You have to jump through numerous chat-robot hoops and try every trick in your Google Search handbook to get through to a real person, and oftentimes, the support agent won't resolve your issue. Third-party apps can sometimes crash without explanation and with no ETA for resolution from support staff. Additionally, many elements are not as customizable as they would be with Adobe products (but that might just be the price you pay for simpler usability).

Vorteile

I absolutely LOVE Canva. It by far the most used software I have.
I enjoy
- the drag and drop functionality (I used to use Photoshop which was more difficult
- the templates
- the AI features like the AI writing feature
- the automated background remover and enhance features
- the ability to easily change my logo to any color (this is so hard to do in Photoshop)
- the ability to share and edit other teammate's designs
- easy to use layouts for brochures, business cards, flyers etc.

Nachteile

I wish there was an option to change the export resolution but other than that Canva is amazing!

Vorteile

Canva has a library of design templates that I can fill in and use. There's also a large selection of photos, animations, script, (etc.) that can be added to the template.
When I open the app there is a selection of design type to choose from and a search bar. I searched "attorney" and "business card" and there were more results than I could look through. I chose one I liked and replaced the example text with my firm name. I also replaced one of the images with a custom image that I imported from my phone. I used Canvas tools to remove the background from the image and add a filter.
I was going to export the finished design and send it to a print shop, but Canva actually prints too and the prices are great. They shipped my business cards quickly and they were beautiful. Everything was exactly how I wanted it.
It's worth noting that I have little skill in the creativity department but Canva was still easy for me to use. There's no need to actually draw or even coordinate colors. It's all done and ready in the templates.

Nachteile

I would have appreciated more printing options (paper and finish, etc.)
Canva has free templates but most have a star with "Pro" in the corner and can't be printed without a watermark unless you pay for it or purchase a subscription. The subscription is the best value since some templates can cost more but there's no trial.

Warum Canva gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Canva

Vorteile

I love the ease of use of the product, it's user friendly and really anyone can use it easily. When I'm not sure what to do, I just browse for the answer and so far have never been stumped! Drag and drop - drag and drop - repeat. We have the paid version and absolutely love all the options, all the photos and videos.

Nachteile

The only thing I stumble on sometimes is the navigation. Where to find my files. Where did they go? And I have to click and click and oh there they are! They are always there though. I have folders that I have made that are a bit difficult to find sometimes.

Vorteile

The templates and assets you can add like gifs, graphics, music, photos, videos, etc. are great. It's nice having access to all of that in one platform/subscription.

Nachteile

The export quality. Despite selecting the highest quality exports, there is still some blur with certain images when posted on social media. Now this could be due to posting through Hootsuite, I'm not sure if there is compression happening, but I have noticed it even when not posting through Hootsuite. It's enough of an issue for us to leave Canva, just something I've noticed. Another thing I dislike, is that Canva is setup for RGB colorways, not CMYK, so if you're planning on printing the files, there will be a difference in color due to the color profile not being in CMYK. I also am proficient with Adobe programs, so use those for printing products/high quality documents, images, etc. And then use Canva for social media posts where high-quality isn't as important, and it's more helpful to have easy access to stock icons, graphics, etc.

Vorteile

Everything, i love canva!!! Ive been using canva for me and my team since 2021 and i will continue to renew my subscription because what you get with canva is absolutely worth every single penny.

Nachteile

Lack of tutorials on integrations and also hoe to leverage the various ai tools

Vorteile

For content creation I love the brand kit

Nachteile

That some features are only accessible with Canva Pro

Vorteile

The quality of the included templates is amazing making it very quick to customise and produce your own publicity

Nachteile

The display area for the elements is very small and cannot be expanded so it can take a long time to find the best element to use

Vorteile

use Canva daily to edit videos for my Instagram reels and create class assignments. One of the things I like most about Canva is its ease of use and wide variety of templates. It’s super convenient for video editing, and the templates for different projects (like the Journey Map template I recently used) make everything so much faster and easier to complete.

Nachteile

While Canva is excellent overall, I wish it had more advanced features, especially for video editing. For example, I couldn’t find a typewriter effect for text, which would be useful. Also, when it comes to highlighting text, Canva’s options feel more limited compared to other platforms like PicsArt or MS, which offer more variety in text effects and highlights.

Vorteile

Canva is so easy to use, it’s almost laughable. It’s like the platform has its own little mind, just waiting to whip up the perfect design for whatever I need. I mean, pick a template (Canva got one for everything—flyers, posts, resumes, you name it), throw in some text, change a few colors if I’m feeling adventurous, and voilà! In less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee, I’ve got a design that looks like it came out of a professional studio.

Canva is everywhere. It’s on my laptop when I’m working from home, on my phone when I’m out and an idea pops into my head, and even on my tablet when I want to make a few quick tweaks on the go. I can start something on my laptop, pop out for a coffee, and keep working on my phone like it’s no big deal. It’s like having a pocket-sized design studio with me at all times—and honestly, I didn’t know I needed that kind of flexibility until Canva handed it to me.

So yeah, Canva has turned me into something of a designer, even though I never planned on being one. And you know what? I’m not looking back.

Nachteile

Now, I’d be lying if I said Canva could do it all. It’s amazing, yes, but it’s not exactly Picasso’s studio. Its magic is in how simple it is, but that also means I don’t get to control every little detail. The free version, has a few annoyances. Canva knows it’s good, and it wants you to pay for the full experience. So you’ll see some juicy templates and icons locked up behind that tempting “Pro” upgrade.

And then there’s the issue of originality. Canva’s templates are everywhere. Once I start using it, I recognize them all over the place. If I don’t get creative with my edits, my work could end up looking a bit cookie-cutter. That said, a little effort can go a long way to make your design stand out. But it’s something to keep in mind if I want my work to feel truly unique.

Vorteile

What I love most about Canva is its versatility. I can use it for both my nanny agency and my doula services to create everything from professional social media graphics to informative brochures, all without needing any formal design skills. The drag-and-drop interface, along with its extensive library of templates, makes designing quick and easy.

Nachteile

The one downside I’ve encountered is that some premium elements require additional fees, which can add up over time if you’re frequently using premium assets. Also, the need for an internet connection can be limiting if I’m working on the go without access to Wi-Fi.

Vorteile

I love canva, there are so many elements available, they make it really easy to use their program. They have tons of design templates available for you, and really help you to stay unique and creative. The search function allows me to find my projects easily. I can change a design size and make a copy within 1 second. canva is amazing!

Nachteile

I honestly can't think of a con to canva, it does everything it is supposed to do. The only thing I could think of is that some people say it's limited with the designs, but personally I think they offer an incredibly wide range of templates, designs, and elements. Maybe a wider music selection would be nice.

Vorteile

It allows me to create almost anything I need, despite the fact that I am not a professional designer. It's fabulously friendly,easy to use, the learning curve is very gentle. I love the newly integrated AI tools and the fact that I can bring digital assets that I created in other software and assemble a completely new design in Canva really quickly. It's a creative powerhouse that feels incredibly friendly and helpful. And while the paid version is the best, you can create practically any digital product you want just using the free version.

Nachteile

I did so many projects in it and it was(is!) so helpful and practical that I really can't fault it.

Vorteile

What I like most about Canva is its combination of powerful design tools with a user-friendly and accessible interface. Here are some of the key aspects that make Canva stand out.

Nachteile

While Canva is a powerful and versatile tool, there are some aspects that may be less appreciated. Limitations on Advanced Customization, internet dependency, premium features.

Vorteile

What I like most about Canva is its intuitive and easy-to-use interface, as well as the variety of ready-made templates for different types of designs. This makes the creative process much easier, allowing you to create visual pieces quickly and professionally, even without much knowledge of graphic design. The diversity of elements, images and fonts available is also a positive point, as it offers a lot of flexibility to customize projects.

Nachteile

What I liked least about Canva is the limitation of some advanced features, which are only available to users of the paid version, such as access to a greater variety of graphic elements and the removal of image backgrounds.

Vorteile

Canva is a great product especially for someone who is just beginning a business online as it's easy to use and comes with templates which are simple to edit and customise.

Nachteile

The graphics are not in HD quality ... not even for paid members which is very upsetting!

Vorteile

What I like most about Canva is how easy it is to use and how many design templates it offers. Even if you’re not a professional, you can still create really cool and professional-looking designs quickly. The customizable branding options are great for keeping everything consistent.

Nachteile

The biggest downside of Canva is that the free version has some limitations. You can’t access all the premium templates and design elements unless you pay, which can be frustrating if you need more advanced features.

Vorteile

Canva's versatility, user-friendly interface, and vast library of resources make it an excellent tool for creative projects.

Nachteile

One potential downside of Canva could be limitations in customization compared to more advanced design software, particularly for complex or highly specific projects.

Vorteile

I've been using Canva for almost a decade, for everything from creating social media post images and Pinterest pins to producing professional-quality logos and printables for my online parenting blog/related ventures. Upgrading to the Pro plan was well worth the money because of the additional graphic/image options and added features, such as the ability to set/save custom brand palettes, fonts, etc. Once you know how to use it, it's super-easy to generate professional looking results every time, even without a lot of design background - so easy, I've taught my kids and their peers to use it for school and personal projects. The constant addition of new features (easy ability to curve text, background remover tool, and even AI generative capabilities) ensure it keeps growing in value over time.

Nachteile

The only downside to Canva is that it has a somewhat steep learning curve if you're learning how to use it for the first time on your own. It's not as intuitive as I would like, or as other graphic creation programs I've used; when I've had kids use it for the first time without much guidance from me, they have had the same experience. However, once you know how to use it, it's a powerful tool that delivers fast results.

Vorteile

To start, it's incredibly user-friendly. The tools are intuitive and require minimal exploration, unlike many offline applications. One of its standout features is the abundance of resources available—icons, images, and text templates of various sizes and fonts are just a few clicks away. This saves a significant amount of time, especially when deadlines are looming. We turn to it whenever we're pressed for time and need professional-looking designs quickly, whether for internal announcements or fun events. Plus, it's surprisingly affordable and versatile, suitable even for some business purposes. Need to whip up a T-shirt design in a hurry? It's got you covered, providing measurements with just a simple search.

Nachteile

The simplicity and streamlined UI/UX of the platform do come with a trade-off: some fundamental tasks are unexpectedly slightly more complicated than they should be. For instance, drawing a simple line requires navigating to the shapes section, selecting a suitable line, and then modifying it to fit your needs. While still manageable, the absence of a dedicated "pencil" tool means adding a few basic drawing functionalities wouldn't go amiss.

Vorteile

the ease of creating designs and editing, helping those who do not have as much knowledge in editing and art

Nachteile

Could have more free elements without the watermark

Vorteile

Canva is simple and beginner-friendly, offering a wide variety of programs for graphic design enthusiasts.

Nachteile

It needs more resources to match Photoshop for static images, reducing time spent on workarounds.

Vorteile

Canva gives me quick access to custom templates, images, documents, presentations, video, AI generation, GIF, and more.
Brand kits save our company colors, logo, and images which I can apply to a template with one tap. I can use the business category to find appropriate templates in any size/orientation. If I dont like part of the template I can change or remove it easily. Canva will provide similar options I can replace it with or I can search with my own criteria. Magic Grab or Magic Erase can isolate one part of an image when cropping isn't sufficient.
Canva now has Dream Lab which can generate an image, text, or even music based on a description. It only takes a few seconds and I get multiple results.
All projects are saved, convenient if I need to add updates or make corrections. I can also resize any project in a few seconds.
I can save projects in any format and with my subscription I can download as many times as I need, saving money if I were to need a PDF and JPEG copy for example.

Nachteile

Sometimes when I upload a photo and use it in a frame, the photo doesn't fit the way I'd like. There is an option to detach the image and adjust, but I wind up with the same result (even with large images).
When adjusting the size of a photo if I drag the wrong side part of the photo is cut off. I like that I can crop photos, but that process and simply adjusting the overall size should be separate.

Vorteile

The versatility, hands down. I am always saying to people that "I can do that in Canva" because it literally offers such a diverse set of design options with completely customizable content and amazing starting templates.

Nachteile

Honestly the only thing that annoys me when working within canva is how my files are organized. I have to dig and dig and dig sometimes to find a file. However, I must say that if I would have been smart, I would have labelled all my files with specific searchable titles and created folders for the various different projects I worked on. It does offer the tools for organization, so this con is probably more user error and lack of thinking ahead. I plan to reorganize it all one day but it will be a daunting task. Luckily Canva saves me time!

Vorteile

Canva is so versatile that I can use it for both work and home. As a church administrator, I have used Canva for our monthly newsletters, weekly church bulletins, fliers, labels and cards. At home, I use it for mock-ups for my art prints to post online to sell, spread sheets, chore lists, graphics to enhance my art and I use it to create advance posts on social media to advertise my art. I pay the monthly fee which is very affordable for everything it has to offer. I am always telling everyone about Canva and how fun and easy it is to learn.

Nachteile

There is nothing that I don't like about Canva...

Vorteile

What is there NOT to like about Canva? It's great for professional designers AND those of us who need to DIY but aren't pros.

Things I love about Canva:
- There is a template for EVERYTHING
- Every template is customizable
- With paid plans, you get access to so many different plugins and assets
- I was able to create so many things: invoice banners, email signatures, LinkedIn photo and banner, business cards, social media posts, reports, slides — the list goes on.

Canva never lets me down. Whenever I log into Canva to make something, I'm always pleasantly surprised at what I *can* do with it.

But the main thing I love about Canva is how easy it is to use.

Nachteile

The only teeny tiny thing I don't love about Canva is the actual dashboard with all the folders and projects. I still find it not intuitive and messy-looking. I like things organized in folders, but for some reason my dashboard is always flooded with "recent" designs. Looking for and finding an existing file always takes longer than it should

Vorteile

Lo que más me gusta de Canva es el poder compartir diseños en la nube con el equipo y trabajar más colaborativamente. Además de tener todos los diseños en un solo lugar.

Nachteile

Hay veces que encuentro algo limitadas las capacidades de edición. Es un software muy recomendable para la maquetación pero quizá algo menos para diseño gráfico.

Vorteile

Ease of use. The interface is user-friendly, there are tons of stock photos, something for every need. The templates are beautiful and I can always find something to fit my style and branding. I can upload my own images and add Canva elements to enhance the images. I can create reels, gifs, and mp4's. Canva has pre-loaded image dimensions, so I can easily resize my projects without having to start from scratch.

Nachteile

The only thing I don't like is how easy it is to spend hours exploring and creating images, lol! I'm not really sure that's a negative.
I personally need to make better use of the folders for organization.

Vorteile

Canva has transformed how I create and manage design projects, from family history book templates to social media graphics. It's incredibly user-friendly, making it ideal for beginners and experienced designers. The drag-and-drop interface, extensive template library, and access to free (and premium) design elements mean I can easily create professional-quality designs without needing advanced design software.

One of Canva’s standout features is its collaborative nature. Being able to share projects and work on designs with clients and colleagues in real time has been a huge asset, especially when making quick edits or receiving feedback. The export options are versatile, allowing for high-quality downloads across various formats, which has been perfect for digital and print projects.

Nachteile

A couple of areas for improvement would be the file organization within folders, as managing many designs can become overwhelming, and sometimes the platform can be a bit slow with larger projects, I don't care for how you have to click to edit now, However, the pros far outweigh these minor inconveniences. Canva is essential in my business, whether I'm creating detailed genealogy pages or promotional content. I recommend Canva for anyone looking to streamline their design workflow!

Vorteile

I love how easy Canva is to use and the various integrations available. I like that it is easy enough for my teens to use, but I can make really unique designs for my company to use in marketing. It is easy to share ideas and collaborate. I particularly use the brand management for our Golden Tax Relief Team

Nachteile

I would like more options for video. I would like to see more options like Favicons and smaller pixel images.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Canva

Vorteile

Very easy to use. Great for branding and logo design with a wide range of ideas and inspiration. We export high quality images which is hard to find an easy to use program with that option at an affordable price range.

Nachteile

Many features are locked unless you have a paid design. They should give some included in the free version to make life easier such as free resize of canvas. Only minor cons.

Vorteile

Easy-to-use design tools, vast template library, and accessibility for beginners and professionals.

Nachteile

Limited advanced design features compared to professional software like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.

Vorteile

"Canva offers a vast library of architectural templates and high-quality graphics that helped me present my ideas clearly and attractively."

Nachteile

"The intuitive drag-and-drop interface made it easy to navigate and find the right templates." this are all the good things in canva.

it helps the designing eventhough they dont have experience designing.

Vorteile

The ability to use existing templates that are creative and diverse.

Nachteile

When downloading an image, the quality is low unless you make it into a higher quality, which some people don't know how to do.

Vorteile

Usage for layout and features seems similar across the whole platform. Layers and the 'click and move/resize' method makes everything very accessible, and once the basics have been mastered users can edit in a more precise way using more specific tools.

Nachteile

Too many apps have been introduced - it's hard to find what you need sometimes.

Vorteile

Por mucho tiempo fue mi herramienta favorita, fácil de usar, extraordinaria para crear.

Nachteile

No funciona más la opción de dividir un video en segmentos para editarlo.
