Pick Your Poison
Wähle Canva, wenn...
Canva remains the go-to choice for social media managers, students, and small business owners who need professional visuals without Adobe's learning curve. However, if you rely heavily on video editing or require pixel-perfect mobile control, you may want to wait for stability improvements or consider alternatives. The free tier is excellent for casual use, but think carefully before committing to Pro given recent price increases.
Wähle CapCut, wenn...
CapCut remains a powerful choice for beginners and social media creators who need quick, professional-looking results on mobile. However, legacy users seeking a truly free editor should look elsewhere, as the aggressive shift to monetization has stripped the free tier of essential tools. It's best suited for those willing to pay for Pro or tolerate ads for short-form content, but avoid it for long-form video editing due to stability issues.
