Huge changes occurred across almost every major social network, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and most recently Snapchat. At the same time, videos and infographics have become powerful tools for brands looking to communicate easily with their customers.
There are some new desktop design tools that make it easy to quickly create multiple graphics for social media. In this article, you’ll discover three user-friendly desktop tools to create visuals for social media.
Interestingly, Canva and PicMonkey which are the main tools people use on their computers, have evolved over the years. Canva is now even available in multiple languages, making it the ideal solution for users around the world.
Very recently, some visual content creation tools launched in the past year (some in recent months) offer even more features. While you can’t start an image from scratch with complete customization, their automation functionality is perfect for batching social media graphics.
Here are three new desktop visual content tools to give your social media engagement a face lift:
Relay
Relay is template-driven. It was the first tool that allowed people to create images without having to do much design. It is fun and easy to use.
Designfeed.io
The new tool on the block, Designfeed.io is all about automated graphics with an excellent user experience. The templates are beautifully designed and showcase the images well. Plus the font combinations are outstanding. Designfeed.io is easy to use. Simply enter a little data and the app will create an endless number of designs from which to choose.
Adobe Spark
Adobe Spark, which launched in May 2016, allows you to create different types of visuals: posts, pages, and videos. Note: Adobe Voice (previously only on iPad), Adobe Slate (an app that creates beautiful web pages from your phone), and Adobe Post (a popular image creation app) are now part of Adobe Spark. Like the other tools, Adobe Spark Post is template-driven and you can edit different features. Unlike Relay and Designfeed, however, Spark lets you alter anything you create via desktop on your mobile iOS device. This makes it a one-stop shop for Apple users.
On a final note, While Canva and PicMonkey still offer the most customization, Relay, Designfeed.io, and Adobe Spark make it easy for marketers to create professional-looking images with ease. Everyone has favorite tools for visual content. Explore them all to see what works best for you.
