Hi, everybody! David for Markzware. I got this question, here on Quora, which I follow and try to answer, when I can. And “Which alternative?” is the question “to Google Docs do you prefer?” And it lists Proton Docs, OnlyOffice, etc. But I don’t prefer any of those. I actually use Google Docs, quite a bit. But, if I was to say what is an alternative to Google Docs, what is actually much more than Google Docs, is Canva Docs. Well, don’t believe me. Let’s ask the AI chat, ChatGPT, in this case.
I think the design capabilities and the flexibility, coupled with the templates and the assets, of course, also ease of use, is quite interesting. And, then, you get the entire ecosystem, which includes Markzware’s ConvertMarkz and all the other things that they mention, here.
While Google Docs is an excellent tool for straightforward text-based documents and collaborative writing, Canva Docs excels in creating visually rich and professionally designed documents. Its design-centric features, ease of use, and integration with Canva’s extensive design tools make it a top choice for users looking to create more engaging and visually appealing documents. Let me show you.
So, let’s go into Canva Docs, right here. And the beauty of Canva Docs, you can add anything. It’s more versatile than Google Docs. You can add, not only pictures and images, but also slides and videos and graphics. And, so, we just click “Create a doc”. We’ve got a new Doc, right here. And, then, we can just say, “This is my title”. Then, I can write here, right?
But what’s beauty is you can add all these different elements, here, which Google just doesn’t have all these. All these totally graphical creative elements. And you can look around. You can add all different types of charts and neat, little stock images that you can use. If you’re looking for funding, they’ve got some things like that. They’ve got just so much in there, right?
You can also have your own uploads, up there. That’s similar to Google, as well. But the beauty, for me, is all of these other elements you can add and find. And the fact that you can add in AI, through Magic Media, and generate, again, if you’re not happy with the results. So, this is all right in Canva. Boy, this guy’s got a lot of friends. I kind of like this one.
So, that’s the beauty of Canva Docs. You can, then, collaborate with other people, with your whole team or other people that you want to add. It’s just a really cool way to work on docs in Canva Docs. So, Google Docs is great, but if you’re looking for an alternative, Canva Docs is fantastic. Also, completely free at the Basic level.
And, actually, when I say Basic, it can get quite detailed, quite advanced. And the Pro version is very affordable. So, if you’re looking for an alternative to Google Docs, I would say Canva Docs.
So, if we take, under Magic Switch, “Convert to presentation”, I can now go under our App, which you can find in the Apps section, called ConvertMarkz. It’s right there.
And, now, you can export this to convert it, right into Adobe InDesign. Click “Continue”. It’s taking us to the MarkzPortal, our new SaaS portal, which incorporates all of our products into an online solution. It’s in pre-release, in general, but for the Canva solution, [ConvertMarkz] is already shipping and available.
We, first, get a preview of the document. And, then, we can convert it to different things, like Affinity Publisher, who Canva just purchased, or Adobe InDesign, or even export for AI, and a lot of other cool things we have going on.
So, you can cruise over to MarkzPortal, and sign up for free, and try this all out. But, for now, we’re just going to convert it, convert our Canva doc, which we flipped into a presentation.
And, now, we’re going to convert it into an Adobe InDesign document. We just click “Download” and it’s that easy.
And, now, I have the file opened up, right here. I have all the pages, over here. And I can go through my document and see everything, including the nice, little, AI rubber ducky, there. So, that’s the Markzware side. I just wanted to throw it in there, since we’re busy.
And that’s how easy it is to use Canva Docs and to get your Canva files into other professional tools, like Adobe InDesign or Affinity Publisher. Alright, everybody. David for Markzware, wishing you a fantastic day! Take care. Oh, yeah. Don’t forget to Like and Subscribe, if you haven’t already. Alright. Have a good one!
