Not a Canva replacement for me yet

I had been hopeful that it would prove to be a Canva replacement.

The software is actually quite nice and was mostly easy to use.

As a test, I tried recreating a simple postcard that I had recently made in Canva. It seemed to be straightforward. It didn't seem to be able to snap elements into line with each other but perhaps I missed that feature somewhere.

The Save and Download functions were a little slow.

There doesn't seem to be options to download compressed PDF vs print quality PDF, which would be nice.

My biggest issue was that when I downloaded my PDF, my postcard design covered only the bottom right quarter of the PDF, not the whole page, which would be useless for sending to a printer. If I did something wrong to cause this, it was not obvious to me what that might be. And I could see no obvious way to fix the problem. A PNG of my postcard downloaded fine and looked good.

One suggestion: the app has a Layers window and the obvious thing (to me) to do here would have been to make it possible to order layers by dragging and dropping, but that doesn't seem to work. You still have to use the 'move backwards'/'move forwards' context menu options, which is clunkier.

Overall, Plasfy certainly has potential but it needs some bug fixes and some polish.
