Quotables
One of the easiest and quickest ways to up your game is with apps that allow you to design quotes. We love sharing inspiration throughout the day or week, and these apps give you more creativity and control over how you share your written inspiration. These are also great to promote deals or dates without complication.
With a wide variety of templates, fonts and colors, Word Swag allows users to create graphically and visually pleasing text, laid over photos or backgrounds provided by the app. Over provides a bit more flexibility than Word Swag, with more illustrations, fonts and photos available in a customizable format.
Photo Editing
Photos are king in the social media world, and a great photo can not only help catch eyes but also keep them. Users are more likely to follow feeds with strong visuals and compelling photos. Without further ado, here are a couple photo editing apps that will give you a professional edge.
Pixlr is great for users who prefer speed and ease over detailed features. This powerful little app still has plenty to offer, however, with the ability to crop, rotate and fine-tune any photo – for free. As they say, classics never die, and PhotoShop definitely stands the test of time. This handy app is a professional photographer’s got-to, as well as a novice’s secret weapon. In addition to the fancy technical features, Photoshop offers fun filters, too.
Design
If you’re ready to play in the creative social big leagues, there are some seriously versatile design apps available that put an infinite amount of possibilities right in the palm of your hand. These apps offer moving images, slideshows, layouts, inspiration and much more.
Ripl is an excellent starter tool if you’re new to the world of mobile graphic design. Offering a selection of photos, illustrations and fonts, you can choose your layout and lay text over the top.
Recommended by social media experts across the country, Canva is a full-blown graphics tool for dummies. Stickers, border frames and more are also available for posts that call for all the bells and whistles.
