Why switch from Canva?

Canva's built-in comments are basic — you can leave notes on a design, but there's no approval workflow, no A/B comparison, and collaborators need Canva accounts. For teams that need structured client feedback on Canva designs, Reviewer fills the gap.

How Reviewer compares

Formal approval workflows. Canva has comments but no approve/reject mechanism. Reviewer gives each design a clear approval status so you know what's signed off.
A/B comparison mode. Export two Canva design variations, upload to Reviewer, and let clients compare them side by side. Canva doesn't offer this.
No accounts for reviewers. Canva requires collaborators to have Canva accounts. Reviewer lets anyone review with just a link — perfect for clients who don't use Canva.

What Reviewer doesn't do

Reviewer is a separate tool from Canva — there's no direct integration. You'll need to export your Canva designs as images (PNG or JPG) and upload them to Reviewer. If you want feedback inside Canva's editor, stick with Canva's native comments.

Can I connect Reviewer to Canva?

Why not just use Canva's built-in comments?

Canva comments work for simple notes, but lack approval workflows, A/B comparisons, and pin annotations. Plus, reviewers need Canva accounts. Reviewer offers all of these with no signup required.
