Top Rated Stencil Alternatives
Stencil is an easy way to make images for social media and websites. It was intuitive to learn and use, no training or even video training needed. With pre-set sizes, it is easy to make sure you are creating the correct size. They have a ton of available great images and quotes images but it is easy to upload your own as well. They have their own templates which I don't use but another time-saver. Nice that you can have your logo easily appear on all images.
The Chrome add-on makes it easy to open up images in Stencil, love it. Check out social media feeds you like to get good ideas instead of just winging it. Took me a good year of use before my posts looked professional. This tool makes it easily possible to create the posts (and use their good-looking templates) but the creativity is still up to you. Pick a consistent look and feel.
Huge storage space I've been making images for 3+ years and can organize and access them all easily and haven't had to upgrade to keep them. The search function to search their images and your own is great.
Being able to make custom sizes and save them for easy access each time. I have folders for created and used images based upon the color scheme.
I have it integrated with Buffer for easily scheduling to social media, perfect integration to make whole social media post creation and scheduling seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Customization is limited, making images re-sizable make them unusable because it shrinks them smaller than the original size and pixelated. It would be great if more fonts are available, although I just noticed you can upload fonts. The copy and paste function can be a little tricky but you get the hang of it. I have never been able to get save custom templates to work properly for me, could be user error but would make it easier to keep a similar look and feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does everything I need it to. I can upload my own fonts (there's a limit), resize my images, and pretty much do everything I need to make a Pinterest pin. I also upload my my own photos and use the available graphics on Stencil. It's been very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The workspace is a little small, so I can' t see with detail all of my designs. The templates are also not very pretty. It doesn't matter because I don't use them anyways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that I can open Stencil from my browser menu easily when I'm working on social media or my own website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that I can paste text using a few keystrokes, but I can't copy text . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a good service if you want to develop social media posts. It provides a lot of options and is easy to build posts. It also has a lot of options. But to be honest I replaced it with Canva which is far more robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not as good as Canva and even though I bought a lifetime deal through Appsumo for Stencil, my business needs have moved beyond what Stencil can do for it. I think they have a long way to go to match Canva, though they are trying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is without a doubt the very best and most convenient software I have skilled to this day to produce blog site featured images and images for social media sharing. I am certain it can do more, but these are the main points I was looking for, and it handles them well.
It is easy to switch to a various canvas dimension (HD 1920x1080, Instagram Tale 1080x1920, Twitter and google Cover 820x360, custom dimension, whatever) and after that change your sentence and video to fit that style. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Stencil every day and it works in my best interest. No issues at all to dislike it. Amazing and fast media creator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to easily resize your template is probably the best feature. You can customize the size exactly, which is SUPER nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There aren't a ton of fonts to choose from when you want to add text to an image. The templates aren't very diverse either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy of use, ability to search for saved images based on keywords. Integration with icons as well as free to use images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Could do with the content scale aware feature that Adobe has, although Adobe is a lot more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Okay so this piece of Image graphics editing software is just awesome. It has a huge inbuilt library of images, templates, fonts plus it also allows to upload own fonts, images. The workspace canvas has a number of predefined sizes suitable for most add types, website blogs and social media platforms. It also allows setting custom canvas sizes. Browser based software doesn't require high configuration PC/laptop. User Interface is easy to navigate and create images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
