Why?
It's Mostly Free
Sure, Canva has its own pro features But it's mostly free. In its free version, you can get almost everything you need to create your own graphic designs and videos. Its free version has stock photos, stock videos, many templates and even graphics and audios for making slideshows or other videos.
Easy To Use
Canva is the easiest tool you can use to make professional graphics for your social media and it's not just limited to the photos, you can create presentations, videos, trailers, infographics, posters, banners, worksheets and even a website. It comes with many templates and you can choose from a wide variety of templates for different kinds of graphics and that, too, for free. Of course, the pro version comes with even more templates but the free version should suffice, I guess. If you want your content to be unique and rare then you can opt for the pro version of Canva since free templates are overly used by many people. The templates make it so easy to just personalise the graphics according to your brand or needs and you are ready to go. No prior designing skills are required.
Keeps Your Progress and Projects Saved
Canva saves progress and the drafts of all your designs. Even if you have just chosen a template to work on, it will save it for future editing. If you abruptly close your ongoing project while still connected to the internet, you will find your drafts waiting for you to continue editing under 'Your Designs' in Canva. Your every step of editing keeps getting saved on Canva and there is little to no risk of losing your unfinished projects.
Stock Media
Canva provides stock images, videos, elements, fonts and even audio. You need not browse all over the internet for copyright-free images, videos, elements or audios, especially when you have little time for designing, because all these are available within the app itself. Sure, you can browse other stock media websites but inbuilt copyright-free graphics just save a lot of time. Also, elements are harder to browse and hence, it's a huge plus point on Canva.
Free Templates
There are tons of free templates on Canva under each category of design. You just need to add your own touch and text to them and you are ready to go. Templates make editing and designing a lot easier and it also saves you from facing the intimidation of blank canvas staring right in your face. Canva claims to have over 50,000 free templates.
