Graphic Design Tools That You Can Use For Free

[Dilip]

These days there are many tools popping up that never got completed. I tried at least 3 tools (free of course) that never hit stable in 2 years. Free tools find it hard to stay afloat.

Once you get used to a tool, it is hard to move on. You find one way or another to stay put

Addiction is also real in graphics designing too. I've had the same experience too over the years I've been using tools like GIMP and Canva. It's practically impossible to leave them completely.

That's why, always choose them carefully. It is hard to migrate.

Yes, it's always that very difficult to jump out from one which you've master like the back of your palm. It's going to feel like starting out anew with a new one and it can be discouraging at some point.

I use the following

• Krita
• Photopea
• Brandbird

Or if you like prototyping

• Lunacy
• Figma
• Apply

Unfortunately Photoshop and Affinity Suite isn't free and Gimp cannot meet the standard required for professional web designers.

Photopea is truly an excellent free choice that I find myself using frequently.

While Photoshop and Canva are widely known for graphic designing, there are various alternatives that you can try, that are as good as Photoshop and Canva.

Adobe Spark: A product from the Photoshop family, Adobe Spark provides a vast template collection and you can create designs in few clicks.

Stencil: Stencil is an efficient online graphic design tool suitable for beginners.

Pixlr: Recognized as an exceptional Canva and Photoshop alternative, Pixlr's free plan suffices for many graphic design needs.

Visme: Specializing in charts and infographics (up to 5 projects monthly), Visme offers a free version ideal for specific design projects.

GIMP: If you need a program that is exactly like Photoshop but free, this one is for you.

PosterMyWall: If you want a tool exactly like Canva, this is for you.

Diversifying your design tools with these alternatives ensures flexibility and creativity in your design endeavors.

This is an excellent list of alternatives! I strongly suggest Pixlr for anyone seeking a feature-rich yet easy-to-use graphic design tool. It includes powerful editing capabilities akin to Photoshop but features an intuitive layout that makes it user-friendly for novices. The free plan is especially advantageous, offering a variety of tools for photo editing and graphic design without requiring a subscription. All in all, Pixlr finds a great equilibrium between functionality and simplicity, making it a superb option for both casual users and professionals.
