Pros & cons
What actually works day-to-day, and the trade-offs you'll feel after week one.
What works
- Enormous template library covers almost every format
- Shared brand kits keep team output consistent
- Magic Resize for cross-format publishing
- Built-in stock photos, video and audio
What doesn't
- Advanced typography still trails Figma / Illustrator
- File ownership and portability are weaker than desktop apps
- Some 'free' templates become paid-only at export
Bottom line
Should you use Canva?
Buy it for the team. Even design-heavy orgs save hours by letting marketers ship routine assets in Canva while designers focus on brand and campaign work.
