Lots of functionality Much easier to use than Adobe products Quick launch > > **Cons**: 1. Old fashioned selection method requires you to draw a box around an object or click on it directly (as in MS Powerpoint). (This is difficult for thin lines that extend over other objects). The method used in Illustrator, Filemaker, Keynote, etc. is better (press mouse and then drag over any portion of an object). 2. They removed the old intuitive printing tools. It is difficult to figure out how to set custom page sizes and magnify/reduce the image to fit the printed page. > > I was a previous user of Canvas X on Mac decades ago, before it went away onto the PC platform. Mostly I used it for scientific manuscript and grant applications and other graphic design. I've struggled with Illustrator for years and never could get a handle on it with just sporadic use. I was pleased to find that Canvas X Draw is available on Mac but was a little worried that all of the reviews are several years old. My experience this weekend in putting together a floor map for a complicated research facility was an absolute joy. All of the tools are as easy to use as I remember and there are lots of nice amenities. I was able to get the whole job done in one weekend and it would have taken my weeks to complete in Illustrator, but I probably would have given up first. Other features include the ability to edit photos directly in Canvas to do common tasks like set image color levels, or making transparent background without having to go into photoshop. ----- ### "Practicality in using Canva X Draw, making tasks easier" — 4.0/5 > **Kenia** | *11 March 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like how easy it is to crop images and configure them as needed. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the application fails and we have to start work again. > > I use it whenever necessary and it works very well for me, I find it practical. ----- ### "easy and comfortable" — 5.0/5 > **Osama Bin** | *30 May 2024* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: multiple features and design and templates > > **Cons**: no customer service and support live and should be there ----- ### "Canvas x draw Review" — 4.0/5 > **Emmanuella** | *15 March 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was pleased to discover Canvas X Draw, a user-friendly vector drawing tool which enables users to craft professional-looking illustrations with minimal effort.
