Their Pitch
What will you design today?
Our Take
It's PowerPoint for people who can't design. Drag templates around, add your text, export a graphic that doesn't look like it was made in MS Paint.
Deep Dive & Reality Check
Used For
- +**Your Instagram engagement dropped 40% because posts look amateur** → Professional-looking graphics in 15 minutes instead of hiring designers or learning Photoshop
- +**You're paying $2k/month for basic social media graphics** → Teams create their own branded content, cut design costs by 80%
- +**PowerPoint presentations are soul-crushingly ugly** → Animated slides with consistent fonts and colors that don't make audiences cringe
- +One-click background removal — no fiddling with magic wand tools or green screens
- +AI generates custom images from text prompts when stock photos look too stock-photo-ish
Best For
- >Your social posts look like they were made by a caffeinated intern in 2008
- >Small business drowning $500/month paying freelancers for basic graphics
- >Teachers tired of boring slides putting students to sleep
Not For
- -Professional designers who need pixel-perfect control — this is Fisher-Price for real design work
- -Companies over 500 people — the enterprise features are surprisingly weak for something this popular
- -Anyone doing serious print work — exports often need tweaking and colors shift
Pairs With
- *Google Workspace (import docs and presentations, export back to Drive)
- *Instagram (direct posting so you don't have to download then re-upload)
- *Slack (where team members share design drafts and argue about font choices)
- *Mailchimp (for email headers that don't look like they're from 1999)
- *WordPress (featured images and blog graphics that match your brand)
- *Zoom (custom backgrounds and presentation slides that don't embarrass you)
The Catch
- !Free tier is basically a demo — you'll need Pro ($15/month) after your second design for background removal and decent exports
- !610k templates sounds great until you spend 20 minutes scrolling through wedding invitations looking for a simple logo template
- !Mobile app crashes on complex designs, so don't plan on editing your masterpiece during your commute
Bottom Line
The training wheels for graphic design — gets you 80% there in 10 minutes, but you'll hit the template ceiling fast.
