Common complaints
Users report inconsistent behavior when resizing or moving elements, especially text and images. Text sometimes shifts unexpectedly or gets deleted during editing.

Certain features, including PDF editing, were removed from the Pro plan without warning.

Practical takeaways
Canva is a strong choice for quick, accessible design but has limitations in fine-tuned control. Users should avoid complex video edits or large-scale resizing until further improvements are confirmed. Stick to templates for consistent results. Save work frequently to prevent data loss. Mobile users should avoid horizontal layouts due to reported interface issues. Test final output carefully when precision is critical, such as for branding or print-ready files.
