5 Canva Alternatives
In this article I will talk about 5 other tools like Canva to create amazing infographics. It is important to use those resources in the publications, both in your blog posts and in everything you share on social networks. There is a very simple trick that you can try: make an image related to the content you are going to publish on your blog (better than 800 x 800 px) and add it to the post as an outstanding image. Then, use it to spread that post on all social networks. An infallible trick is to add a call to action in the image or post title, along with its shortened URL. You’ll see how clicks and retweets increase. Keep reading because I will recommend some tools to create infographics and all kinds of designs.
For those of us who are not designers, online applications like Canva are very useful. For example, it is very easy to get designs with color combinations.
Infogram
With this tool, inexperienced users can easily create online infographics without installing additional software. Once the free registration is finished, users access a simple interface with a very intuitive navigation. The side menus allow you to create infographics from scratch or from a series of templates(templates). It pretty easy to add content such as text, diagrams (circle, dots, bars, icons, etc.), maps, images or videos. Infogram offers a wide variety of templates for clear and concise viewing.
Data logging is processed in the same way as with spreadsheet programs such as Excel, in cells. If as .xls, .xlsx and .csv, as well as with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or via URL as feed of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). In the editor’s sidebar you can easily insert graphic elements (diagrams, maps, texts, images, videos and other files) by dragging and dropping, as well as deleting them.
Pixlr
It is a mini Photoshop, but very easy to use. This online tool is very interesting since it allows us to access 3 different versions of the product; Basic, intermediate and advanced, which makes it a perfect solution for beginners who choke on Photoshop. However, I personally think its still little difficult to learn how to use it if you have no knowledge of tech or designs. If you are one personal like me, check its tutorial here to know more: https://blog.pixlr.com/category/tutorial/.
DesignCap
