Cledara’s Take
Ever since Canva made graphic design accessible to everyone, it has become a main staple of many companies. At Cledara, it is used by 32.7% of our customers.
Canva has made a significant impact on how we approach design work. This tool is widely praised for how user friendly it is. It allows anyone to create content quickly and easily. On top of that, the free version is quite transparent and generous.
It is also important to note that it has not been created for professional designers. If you need a deeper and more complex solution, you’d be better off contracting a platform like Figma, for example. Especially when it comes to video editing. PremierPro or another dedicated software might be the way to go in this case.
To sum it up, Canva is a bit like a Swiss Army knife for design – incredibly versatile and handy for a broad range of tasks but maybe not the best tool for specialized jobs. But if you're looking for something that can handle everything from social media graphics to basic video editing with a low barrier to entry, this is your tool.
Canva's pricing model is accessible, offering various plans tailored to meet the needs of different user groups, from individuals and small teams to larger enterprises. This flexibility ensures that users only pay for what they need.
