While Canva is great overall, there are a few areas where it could improve. Some of the best templates and elements are locked behind the premium plan, which can be a bit limiting if you’re using the free version.
Also, when working on heavy or complex designs, it sometimes feels a bit slow. More advanced customization options would be helpful too, especially for users who want more control over design details.
That said, these are minor issues compared to how useful and easy the platform is.
Hey PH👋
I make visuals basically every week. And my biggest AI image pet peeve is text. You ask for a headline, you get alien letters.
So when I saw Canva built a model that plans the layout before drawing anything, I had to try it.
What got me:
The text actually reads like text
Things go where you asked them to go
You can open the result in Canva and edit the pieces separately, not just regenerate and pray
Any size you need, from stories to banners
It’s trained on real design templates, not just photos, and you can tell.
It’s live for everyone in Canva right now, so go break it! https://www.canva.com/newsroom/news/canva-craft/
