Why should I use the Canva app from Microsoft Store?

The app is pretty much the same as the web-based version, but the app is easier to use and launch with the click of a button. Further, the web version may be plagued by the 500 server error so the app comes in handy in such situations.

You are always logged in and the app stores all your projects and uploads, you just need to register for an account.

Canva only weighs 111.7 MB, so you won’t need too much space to download it. As opposed to the web-based version, using the app will improve the performance of your browser as there will be one less tab open.

Your workflow will be improved as well as you can multitask way easier with the app open in the taskbar.

And with Canva’s new tab reordering feature, you can organize your design tabs to keep what’s most important work upfront.

Moreover, users can email their projects instantly to social networks or messaging apps by clicking the Share button present on each design.

What is Microsoft’s vision for the new store?

Starting with a more open Microsoft Store for developers and surprising partnerships, the new store is proving to be one of the most pleasant surprises that came with the announcement of a new Windows 11.

Microsoft now allows developers to publish their unpacked Win32 desktop apps so we can expect to see a lot of popular applications available for download.

Developers can also bring their own commerce platform in their apps without paying Microsoft any fee meaning they can keep 100% of their revenue.

And because Microsoft has more relaxed restrictions on the types of apps that are allowed to appear on Windows 11’s store, lots of companies are now publishing their desktop apps to the new app store.

Worth mentioning is also the fact that the Microsoft store will be available to Windows 10 users as well:

Today, we are excited to introduce a new Microsoft Store coming soon to both Windows 11 and Windows 10. It will help you discover and install the best apps, games, movies and even special offers – like unique movie discounts for Xbox Game Pass members.
