Why use Canva? What are you doing on this that can't be done for free in other applications elsewhere?
Dunno about op, but at my work it's used because of its ease to share and have several people work on the same file
It's fine if your work pays for it. That's why I have Spotify and Notion, for instance.. Why would I pass on free stuff?
Why does your work pay for Spotify? Just a perk?
Yes, just a perk
Not a helpful take TBH.
Canva is crazy easy and convenient. That's what they built their business on being.
People can complain about the products they like getting worse, that's how change happens, that's how people get motivated to make alternatives....etc
Not a helpful take to ask a question? Wtf are you talking about?
This sounds like an AI generated response. How is this more easy or convenient than the hundreds of alternatives that already exist?
It's especially tailored for recreating common designs like leaflets, artsy resumes, quick video presentations, etc. It doesn't require much technical knowledge and kind of walks you through it. It integrates everything well from easy templates, a vast library of shapes, a friendly/focused interface, and has many functions for common tasks. This is not an ad--it's literally what they do. lol If you know of any OSS that does all this, I'd love to hear it.
Yes, you could do that all with the classic Photoshop/Photopea/Gimp but it won't be fast, you'll need to learn it first, it won't be convenient, it might not be free (unless?... 🏴☠️🦜) and you're likely starting from scratch.
Don't be rude, please.
Wasn't trying to be rude, that comment was worded in a way that seemed like an LLM.
Anyway, thanks for explaining Canva. I assumed it was just an image editor. That does seem to fill a niche. Still lame that a circle is an upsell but I can see the appeal of the app.
Yeah, most LLMs I've used tend to use phrases like TBH and ...etc.
What is the point of saying that a response sounds like an AI generated response?
It's just a generic insult.
Your mother smells funny, and you're wrong.
http://photopea.com has everything I need without any sign ups.
Inkscape.
Canva bought Affinity. The more I know about them, the more it stresses me out.
I will have to wait out for the free trial to expire ig
Draw.io. Has its downsides but they are perfectly acceptable considering how bad everything else is.
What downsides?
It’s nit picking but compatibility is sometimes not guaranteed with certain asset packs/features that seem to be shipped by default across certain versions. It kind of comes with the whole “hey, when you view the thing please view it using this url” aspect which is fine generally but there are always those outlier situations. Like I said though. Total nit picking.
New Minecraft monetization just dropped.
Looks like you're out of flags. Would you like to purchase 10 more for $2.99?
EDIT: My brain read Minesweeper. 😂 Oh well, I'm leaving it.
It looks like you’re trying to mark a mine that would create a circle. This is available in our premium tier for only $13.99 a month.
Do you use your flags? I… don’t. At least on mobile. It’s too big of a hit on time
Luanti is slowy growing one step at a time
Doesn’t windows still have paint?
You can no longer choose the shapes, AI hallucinates them for you. If they don't fit your desired shape you can pay-per-side-polygon to have a fixed number of sided shape added. mS pAInt
So circles are a subscription as they have infinite sides?
You catch on too quickly.
Visio is similar in that the lowest plan doesn’t let you use many of the built in shapes.
You can add them yourself as images but loads of useful shapes for a network diagram, for example, are missing making it very inconvenient to use (I’m now using draw.io).
I can understand limiting certain functionality (like only having a web UI) but not making basic tasks unnecessarily difficult.
Shit like this is why i still run office 2007.
I mean, it's free. For the longest time they were great. Though, It even looks like if you scroll to the right, you can make a circle just fine
figma works well for this
Ligma too - in response to the company charging for circles.
