Frequently Asked Questions
Can I import my Canva designs to VisualKit?
Yes! VisualKit supports importing images from Canva and other design tools. Our AI can optimize any existing design for app store compliance and better conversion rates.
Is VisualKit really better than Canva for app icons?
For app icons specifically, yes. While Canva is excellent for general design work, VisualKit is purpose-built for app icons with features like automatic sizing, platform compliance, and ASO optimization that Canva lacks.
How much time does VisualKit save compared to Canva?
Users report saving 2-3 hours per icon. VisualKit automatically generates all required sizes (vs manual resizing in Canva), ensures compliance (vs manual checking), and optimizes for downloads (not available in Canva).
What about quality differences?
VisualKit icons are optimized specifically for app stores with better contrast, appropriate sizing, and platform-specific design elements. While Canva produces good general graphics, VisualKit produces app store-optimized icons.
