Canva is to my opinion the best software that can be used to create and publish any graphic design on the go. Publishing on social media has never been that easy, no need to calculate the image dimensions (Width x Height) set by different social media platforms... Canva does that automatically for you.
Pros
- Canva is so easy to use with beautiful and instinctive UI design, great user experience too.
- It has a free version with readily available design templates which just needs to be customized according to your liking.
- It's a relatively cheap software compared to others in the same category.
- Canva has mobile applications too where you can create designs on the go and it syncs all your created designs created, irrespective of the platform you used.
- Canva makes it so easy to create our social media posts for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn as well as posters we use to advertise offline as well as presentations during student/faculty training.
- Besides our company, Canva is widely used among content creators (e.g Bloggers, YouTubers to create video thumbnails) hence a large audience uses this which influenced our decision to choose Canva as a photo design software.
Cons
- Repetitive designs might be found across the web as everyone uses the same design templates.

Pros
Canva is everything a company or organization needs to create incredible documents, promotional materials, presentations, and branding. Also, Canva offers free pro accounts for non-profit organizations that fit the criteria. This is an incredible "pro" for non-profits who have to be budget minded.
Cons
No real "cons" to note. Would love to see more stock photos available. Being a very specific non-profit, there are not a lot of stock photos that are directly applicable to our organization. However, this is a very minor con since we are a very specific non-profit/religious organization.

My overall experience with Canva is very positive, as it helps me a lot in my day-to-day lessons for my students, and it's an app that I recommend and help to get up and running with my students.
Pros
what I like most about Canva is that it's very interactive, it helps me a lot when I'm working with my students on presentations, logos, CVs and e-books.
It's very easy to use and the cost-benefit ratio is even better.
Canva has a lot of good free products.
Cons
What I liked least was not having the option to resize the images, or remove the background for free, as this is a function that I use a lot with my students.
