Free design downloads available

Pros

It's an affordable way to edit photos and make things like social media posts, business cards and other designs. I tried several templates, and they were all free to download even after I customized them. The stock photos in the editor are great and I can upload my own photos too. Moving around parts of the design is smooth, just tap and drag. There are options to rotate, flip, crop and resize too. I also really liked how I could add text and change the colors and styles.

Cons

One downside is that It's only available in the web browser and I couldn't find it in the Shutterstock app or any standalone app. The homepage promises a lot of features but I could only find some of them. When I imported a photo, the only options I had were to rotate, flip or delete. I couldn't figure out how to add filters and it would've been helpful if the editor was easier to use with some basic instructions or tutorials.

Basics of online publishing

Pros

I absolutely love this because there's just so much unique and high-quality content that you can find within seconds. It's become an amazing tool for me and really helps inspire my projects. The music tracks are also awesome for editing my videos. I highly recommend taking advantage of the free trial they offer for new members!

Cons

It'd be great if there were more offers and discounts on the videos.

A simple editor for basic edits

Pros

This tool is very fast and easy especially if you're a beginner and just need a quick way to get things done online.

Cons

Honestly, this editor is pretty basic with limited options. It doesn't come close to tools like Illustrator or Photoshop. I'd say it's okay for web graphics but definitely not something you'd want to use for print.
