You can easily AUTO FIT the image you are trying to upload to the templates - no need to keep adjusting the edges... Saves time VERY AFFORDABLE
Must add more templates like those from Crello
Images for my blog from watermarking to making captions etc
It is a great image and ad creation software. It has inbuilt collection of thousands of ready made social media posts, royalty free images, icons. Editor is very easy to use and saves a lot of time
Nothing to dislike here it helps me by saving a lot of time to create custom images for ad banners and social media posts.
Easy to use cloud based tool save me a lot of time. I am able to create ad banners easily with the help of easy to use editor and it's huge library of images and icons.
The design platform and interface are excellent - I think this would make a perfect platform for anyone posting to a few social channels.
The fact I can't access their original deal for another member - otherwise excellent.
Image design - Lots of good templates available as well.
If you ever felt you need the speed to start creating fast and well-crafted images for social channels, Stencil may well be it. The user interface is intuitive and ux-friendly. No messy confusion on where to find what. Selecting the font type and images is a breeze. Use their preset template as a starting guide. Stencil comes with a huge library of free stock images and icons. In fact the icon library is not only huge, it comes organized with the related set icons. Oh, they just launched their wordpress plugin to work along within the WP media library! Sweet. And for chrome users, be sure to take advantage of their extension to quickly pull out Stencil's design interface and start designing efficiently.
The design Templates variety seem a little out-dated but then again, visual design is subjective. Nothing much to complain about.
rather than pulling out Photoshop to design templates for social media, Stencil allows for quick creation. Especially useful for virtual assistants.
Love that it has photos and quotes. Really easy to use!
The images aren't always as crisp looking as I'd like.
Social media posts. Custom blog post and sharable media.
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.
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.
A good way to build graphics. Specifically graphics for my social media posts. It's easy to use for that purpose and can be used on my iPad which is important for me.
I love that I can open Stencil from my browser menu easily when I'm working on social media or my own website
I dislike that I can paste text using a few keystrokes, but I can't copy text .
I can create different optimally sized images for each of my social accounts and websites from my original design with a click. Simple.
I like the sizes, templates, stickers, logos.
Stencil is not accessible on the mobile phone. Only on PC.
I create content to all my social media cchannels. I don't need to worry the size. The templates are easy to use.
Easy of use, ability to search for saved images based on keywords. Integration with icons as well as free to use images.
Could do with the content scale aware feature that Adobe has, although Adobe is a lot more expensive.
Creating images for social media. Higher interactions online for my brand and for my customers.
I love the fact that Stencil gives a clean UI where i can easily create images and ad banners for blogs and social media. Lots of pre built image templates and vectors and icons. Image compression is another feature that I love here. All in all great image editing software.
Nothing to dislike stencil is a life and time saver.
Biggest problem that I can solve here is creating custom images in quick time. Love the inbuilt library of images, templates, icons and quotes.
First off you can save multiple brands, you can upload your own fonts, you can save and resize your workspace sizes and you can save transparent backgrounds without any issues. I love the fact stencil has a chrome extension that allows me to open up the designer over pretty much any page that I may be working on and create graphics on the fly. I also love that I can highlight text on the internet and right click to access a stencil extension that takes me into the application instantly with the text I highlighted already pasted inside ready to be made into whatever graphic I need. Stencil has a massive amount of photos and icons built into the application which is extremely helpful. I use stencil everyday because it makes design so easy. It has most of the features I need for a quick cloud-based design program.
One of the main things I find myself reaching for to no avail sometimes I am using the app is the ability to group elements so I can move multiple elements at once. Also they have a lot of templates but they're are not that great. I always start from scratch.
Stencil makes it super fast and simple to make quote images and social media style graphics. Stencil is usually my go to for designing groups of social images at a time.
Stencil it's a great tool for image creation in a fast and effective way. I love it because it's a very simple but powerful tool, and it permits me to get good results, even if I'm not a graphic designer! In particular, it's great if you need to create images to share on Social Media, because it permits to resize on the fly the dimensions of your image, so you can adapt it to the best fit for the social in use. In additions, it has a lot of pre-defined templates, images and icons to choose from, to use in your creation.
None, I'm absolutely satisfaction with Stencil
It permits me to create beautiful images to share online, in a very simple way, even if I'm not a graphic designer (and I hate Photoshop, too!)
Stencil makes it easy for our marketing team to create engaging posts in minutes. With no need to navigate to an additional appliation or web app, Stencil.app lives directly on every web page I visit giving me direct access whenever I need it.
Stencil is definitely an application built for everyone. As someone who is familiar and works with high-end photo manipulation tools. I find myself reaching for traditional keyboard shortcuts which at times has me digressing in my workflow rather than progressing in my workflow.
The benefits that stencil provides my organization is keeping my desktop workspace clean an efficient. Stencil sits right on top of my current web browser. I do not need to run heavy applications or force my computer to work on a heavy workload.
Great interface, amazing templates, ease of use, ability to manually add fonts.
It doesn't have all the advanced features like Photoshop or GIMP but that's why it's so easy to use.
I'm creating web graphics and banners in Stencil. Might start to create YouTube thumbnails aswell.
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.
I use Stencil every day and it works in my best interest. No issues at all to dislike it. Amazing and fast media creator.
Stencil is my best solution for social media posts creation. Huge resource library and fast editor save me a lot of my time.
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.
I have had no reasons to dislike this software.
With stencil my image and banner design has become so easy. I manage multiple client websites and am also responsible for marketing, here stencil is one tool which plays an important role. Social media ad banners have become so easy to design with the available templates in stencil's library.
The best features of stencil is it has huge library of images, vectors as well as premade templates. Easy to use editor for creating custom images for ads as well as social media. Ability to save images and logos to watermark your images. Browser based online tool.
Sometimes the UI freezes apart from that it is a very great tool.
I am solving a huge task of creating custom images for social media ads with ease. The editor gives endless possibilities for creating graphics and images. They also have image optimizer tool which compresses the images without any quality loss
Can make quick, easy design for social media & advertising. Simple and easy to use.
There could be more customizable options. Sometimes there can be lag.
create and design posts for blogs and social media. The main benefit allows me to create things that save me time.
It is super easy to use. They have all the basic features needed to create images for social media sharing. I also like the pricing strategy. Under free pricing, you can have ten images every month.
I haven't encountered any specific absence of a feature. I am sure it does not have other bells and whistles which more established companies have. But the simplicity of the tool makes it a better service.
Create images for social media sharing. It is very easy to put images together and create images for social media sharing.
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.
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.
I use Stencil to make Pinterest pins, and I've been using it for a few years now. I haven't looked back. I can save my templates and they recycle them so my pins have a consistent style.
