If you aren’t using Canva for your business (or personal needs),  you need to start. It’s the best program for creating anything with graphics – social media posts, flyers, newsletters, brochures, invitations and what’s even better is that it doesn’t require any fancy skills to get started or understand how to use it. 

In fact, in 2013, when Canva was created, it was their mission to “empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere.” – Canva. How cool is that?! I love a company that wants to empower its users! 

But that’s not all. There are so many great things about Canva, so here are five more reasons we love using Canva:

It’s Free

Zero dollars, zero catches. You can make unlimited graphics and download as many as you want. If you’re just starting out, the free version has tons of templates, graphics, fonts, and colours you can use. You could totally run your business off the free version! Another thing I love about the free version is that you can pay for items individually. So, if you’re creating something and love a graphic, you can pay a one-time fee to use it without upgrading to the paid version. There’s also a 30-day free trial of Canva Pro, which is easy to sign up for and just as easy to cancel. Again, zero catch. 

It’s User-Friendly

Canva is SO easy to use. It’s for the very, very beginners, the very, very advanced, and everyone in between. Of course, tons of how-to videos are available if you’re having trouble or looking for something specific, but I love how easy it is to do exactly what I want. 

It Has Everything I Need

With over 400k+ templates, thousands of pictures and images, and hundreds of fonts, Canva is the only program I use to create designs. And, since it’s so easy to use, I can get more work done in a shorter period of time. So it saves me time, money, and energy. 

It Is Entirely Customizable

Everything in Canva is entirely customizable. You can edit, change, and modify every template to reflect your brand, ensuring your designs look cohesive. In addition, you can save all your branding information (colours, fonts, logos, etc.) so they’re easily accessible. 

It’s Accessible Anywhere

The nice thing about Canva is that you can access it from your mobile device or desktop, which means you can still create things while you’re on the go. Personally, I think the desktop version is easier to use, but the mobile app will do in a pinch too! It’s nice for small creations or quick edits, but if I’m creating a detailed masterpiece, I want to do it on my desktop. 

I love everything about Canva. I use it for work every day, but I also use it at home to make birthday invitations, chore charts, and flyers for school events. It is versatile, easy to use, and has so many templates! If you haven’t checked out Canva, you need to!
