Super Sunday Steemians
So we all know the famous Canva.Com which a lot of users uses to create graphics for their social media content. Not only that its free to use with available paid upgrades, its also very easy to use and almost anyone can pick it up and start creating professional looking banners or graphics.
3 More Alternatives
Appart from Canva.Com I would like to share alternatives for you to also explore and see if it suits your liking as well. These online apps also has available paid upgrades , however just like canva , its great enough for you to create professional graphics just by the basic free model.
1. GETSTENCIL.COM
The banner above was created by http://getstencil.com . It has a good selection of free fonts and templates which can get your graphics done within minutes.
Great graphics selection
You also have a good selection of graphics to choose from. Some may be required to be paid however a good selection of free once are at your disposal.
Its very easy to use and getting started is literally 1 minute and you are off the ground.
The limitation in the freemium is that you can only create up to 10 graphics per month, however you can just redesign over the existing banner.
2. SNAPPA.COM
Here is a sample as to what you can do with http://snappa.com . Just like Stencil and Canva , there is a wide selection of graphics which can get you started almost immediately.

Here is a quick video on http://snappa.com for you to quickly understand what its all about.
Its easy to use and very user friendly. Even when creating your graphics it would ask you which social media the graphics is for ( there is no steemit.com yet ) however its ok .... for now =)
Cool icons
Nothing much to be said as its mostly explained in the video on what http://snappa.com can do. I do like the range of icons which it has.
3. ADOBE SPARK ( https://spark.adobe.com/ )
If you are a ADOBE user of Photoshop & LightRoom , having Spark just makes sense. You would almost be immediately be accustomed to its interface . For those who has not used it before, its something which you can easily adapt to.
There is a variety of templates which you can use and each once can be customized to your liking. The selection of photos and graphics to my opinion is not as wide as the others.
Its free to use however there is a upgrade available. Its only about $44 per month and it comes together with Photoshop and Lightroom. A very useful package for photographers.
Summary
These are just a few additional tools which are very user friendly and free to use with optional upgrades. Hope it would help to spice up your amazing blogs even more.
Have a great Sunday !
