Happy to have moved from a well-known platform

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: Overall I LOVE Vista as the interface is simple, clean, easy to navigate; the free versions are perfect and of High resolution too! For a beginner, it is the perfect solution ;-) Thank you team!!

Pros:

The HD quality of the graphics when I download them. I moved from a well known and used service because of their bad image resolution .... even for paid versions!

Cons:

It can be improved with more feature choices like creating bulk graphics to schedule them to social media for at least 30 days. Or choose the view of our pages to show in vertical view. Or the ability to get free designs from other creators in Vista.

A fantastic tool with useful features that's sadly behind the competition.

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: In my pros and cons I compared Vistacreate directly with Canva, Kittl, and Microsoft Designer for obvious reasons. Because Vistacreate, Canva, and Kittl are all a similar monthly price, I consider this a fair comparison. Vistacreate is a great program. It works well. It has a ton of useful tools and you can use it to quickly create designs. The program felt like it was supporting me as the creator. However, with a significant lack of graphical assets and a poor search tool, Vistacreate is significantly harder to use to create a truly creative design. I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a lifetime license of Vistacreate through Appsumo, which makes it an AMAZING deal that I would wholeheartedly recommend. However, at the normal price of around $120/year it is much harder to recommend VS the competition. If you stick strictly with templates and value ease-of-use, then Vistacreate is a great way to go. However, if you want more control over your designs, better integrations with other tools, more photos, graphics, icons and illustrations to choose from, then there are better alternatives to Vistacreate. At the end of the day, I still think the program is well worth the asking price. You get a lot of functionality for the money. If the other tools didn't exist, I would give Vistacreate a 5 out of 5. But because the competition is SO good, I have to give it a 4 out of 5 for now.

Pros:

- Fast, fluid and simple UI - Fantastic, high-quality template selection compared to similar programs. - Quick and effective background removal tool - Quick masks to transform any photo into a shape (better than Canva frames) - A useful "Brand Kit" tool to keep the primary logos, colors, and fonts nearby. I wish I could add more than 3 fonts to a single brand identity. However, you can have many brand kits available at once, so that helps. - The ability to quickly create video-centric content (Reels, Stories, Animated Intros) is simpler and faster to use than competing programs. It lacks some of the more powerful video-centric tools, but speed and ease-of-use is more important for multi-purpose tool like Vistacreate.

Cons:

- Although there are an OK amount of objects/graphics, it still pales in comparison to Canva and Kittl. This is the greatest reason I can't totally recommend using Vistacreate over these other tools. - The search functionality is way behind competitors. This is another BIG negative. (See below for more details) - Vistacreate needs better layer management tools. Right now it's only the very basic "Move Backward" "Move Forward" type of system. - The mockup tools are slightly behind Canva and Pixelied, and way behind Kittl. - Vistacreate has fewer AI tools than competitors (if you care about them). Although most AI tools still fall in the "neat gimmick" category, some are becoming truly useful. Regarding the search tool: For fun I searched "Astronaut Cat" on Vistacreate, Canva, Kittl, and Microsoft Designer: Vistacreate gave me nothing. Not a single graphic. It's easily in last place. It didn't even show me a single generic cat or astronaut graphic. Microsoft Designer was in third place. It gave me generic cat and space graphics but not a single astronaut cat. But at least it showed me something. It also makes up a little ground with its ability to create Cat Astronaut icons using AI. Kittl is strongly in second place, and not far from first. Kittl provided about 8 images of astronaut cats. But it also gave many different and unique astronauts, cats in space, and even a hamster and other animal astronaut images. Lots to choose from. Canva was the obvious winner providing over 20+ different astronaut cats, 15+ cat-in-space graphics, and tons of other various astronaut, cat, and space graphics.

Easy way to do simple graphics works for presentation, websites.

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Crello comes at less price than other similar service providers, with many interesting pre-built templates. using this template, I can easily complete my presentation and other content creation. besides animation and transition is very smooth here. Easy to import media files and use them perfectly, I feel that they need to work in the pdf section to make clickable links. I make some animation for my presentation, it takes less time and the output is great.

Pros:

Very easy interface which comes with less price than existing other similar service providers. I have to say they have rich pre-built templates, which are easily customizable and able to work anywhere I need to use. Suitable and smooth drag and drop feature for customizing images to present in my desired format. crello provides also good quality animation and backgrounds.

Cons:

Video collection could be better, to compete with a similar service provider like Canva. In pdf, they need to work with creating a clickable link option.

VistaCreate - Social media graphics made easy

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall VistaCreate is a graphic design software that you can get started with for free making it budget-friendly. The UI is pretty normal compared to other software of its kind. There is a very slight learning curve for beginners but that is all part of being a graphic designer.

Pros:

I like the templates VistaCreate offers most and how easily and uniquely I can edit them for my own personal brand. There are a lot of elements available for me to use and it is very simple to learn how to use the software. The mobile app comes in handy to design anywhere. There are a lot of predetermined sizes made for nearly every different social media platform! This means you can create the perfect size graphic for any kind of post.

Cons:

VistaCreate doesn't have as much features as I would like and sometimes on the mobile app I find that things don't respond well to my movement but this isn't a common thing.

Liked My First Round With VistaCreate

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: I liked my first try at using it. I see the potential for it, and I have a lot more to explore.

Pros:

The animation tools, and the ability to create multiple pages within each project, and then save my projects, while also being able to save and export the files into both GIF image format and MP$ video format.

Cons:

Some of the text fonts don't allow the letters of some of the fonts to fit inside the text box, and the parts outside of the text box are cut off. I also had several issues with certain letters and symbols in my text boxes that would be BLACK instead of the color selected for the text. This needs to be corrected if I'm going to pay for the software, as I hate wasting time on my projects due to inefficiencies in the tools I use.

Great team collab graphic tools for online visuals

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall vistacreate satisfies all my online/web post and banner creations. However, when you need a high-end grade graphics done, you'll still have to go back to Adobe suites of tools

Pros:

Easy to use and very similar to its trail blazer competitor Canva. One better thing it does is canva pro allows up to 10 team members to work on my graphic's. It's great for small business, or small agency.

Cons:

Export functions are not very good. Only supports English and no other languages, export format is limiting.

Best software for easy and fast designs

Comments: Vista Create is a great design tool for people with little to no graphic design experience. It's easy to use, and there are plenty of templates available for you to choose from. I would recommend this product because it's affordable and it has everything that you need in order to create an attractive website or blog. The price for the software is $120 per year, which is very reasonable considering the amount of quality features that are included in the package. The customer service team also very responsive

Pros:

User interface easy to use lots of templates

When designing multiple pages, design export sometimes fails.

Nice choice for a small business!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall, it was great! I just need to get more familiar with using it. It is a great, inexpensive asset to my business, among other things. Lots of templates and font to choose from, the ability to download your own pictures or information. Overall, I can’t wait to get more familiarized with it and learn about what all it can do.

Pros:

I came across this software when I was looking for something to design an internet flier for my business. I jumped right on and designed a flier without doing much of a tutorial on how to use the software! Very easy! I struggled with a few design aspects but was able to come up with a perfect flier for online.

Cons:

I found it hard to edit a template that they had. I am super new to this software, but this is the one thing I struggled with most. After I searched and searched for ones I like, I couldn’t get the look I wanted because I struggled with deleting parts of their design and adding my own. I ended up starting from scratch and doing my own.

Graphic design made easy and very beginner friendly

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Crello is amazing, its the best tool for any beginner or anyone who does not have a budget to hire a pro graphic designer. With this tool you will have zero excuses as to why you're able to showcase your products in a beautiful well crafted poster or video.

Pros:

I stumbled upon this gem as i was looking for a beginner friendly and easy to edit graphic design program and boy oh boy my experience has never been better. The ability to add team mates is a feature i like a lot i can also monitor and collaborate with them on any project. Every week Crello updates new templates, to me templates was the best selling point since i can easily edit it according to my needs i can also quickly search for a particular template or one geared towards a holiday/event, this makes me look like a real pro! The pro account is super loaded with premium photos and nice videos and some in HD which is something not so common when it comes to alternative software's. My small digital agency has acquired a professional look and appeal just because of Crello, whenever i post a poster or video people always wonder where i got my designing prowess but oh well its all Crello..

If they could add more African related content, photos and videos then this would be a complete tool, for now such content are not as many.

A new design tool for my business (and for personal use too)

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: On a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high), all my responses to how this app performs, how it keeps getting better, and how responsive the team behind it is, it would be all on "10." Makes me wonder if the team behind it ever sleeps. I connect it to a team of folks being passionate about what they created and having a continuous passion to keep adding value for the users of this app. The app is so fun to use, that I think it had to have been created by really fun people.

Pros:

It's so easy to use, and work results are outstanding. Among all my many design apps, this one is my favorite. To name a few: ease of use, outstanding designs, regular add-ons of new templates. In addition, the team behind it, they are so responsive, and so creative, as they keep adding new templates (really useful designs). This app, is actually fun to use, and I'm a huge fan, and mighty grateful that the team behind clearly keeps adding fresh (and really good) designs.

Cons:

Seriously... Nothing. Even way before submitting this review, I shared the site of purchase to friends, with a note saying: "Get this! You'll be thanking me forever!"
