    Why use Canva? What are you doing on this that can’t be done for free in other applications elsewhere?

      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

        This sounds like an AI generated response. How is this more easy or convenient than the hundreds of alternatives that already exist?

          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.

          How is this more easy or convenient

          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.

          This sounds like an AI generated response.

          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.

      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

      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.

        Do you use your flags? I… don’t. At least on mobile. It’s too big of a hit on time

        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.

      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
