Love this. Though, I think the Holy Grail in templated social media and ad design is to export to the multitude of social and ad sizes. Have you scaled your templates to allow for this? This is the biggest problem I hear about from social and design teams.

@ryanmac We have in-house designers who are continuously adding new pre-designed templates to the platform. As we continue to grow, we will continue investing in more templates because it's definitely one of the biggest selling points and what our users love the most. We're currently working on an image resizing feature which will also enable us to speed up the amount of templates being created.
@cgimmer great looking product. We've been looking for something like this that we could partner with at Brandfolder to give our customers the ability to resize + post assets in their Brandfolder to a number of different social media sites. Is that something you'd be interested in trying to make work? If the response makes sense to move to email: firstName@brandfolder.com
@parterburn @brandfolder Hey Paul. Unfortunately we have quite a lot of other priorities on our dev roadmap at the moment so I don't think it's a possibility for now. We'll be more open to these kinds of integrations down the road though.
This is interesting! I have used both picmonkey and Canva will definitely try this out to see how it works. Does it allow uploading you own images?
@kausmukherjee Hey Kaustuva. Yes you can import your own images into Snappa :)
I just discovered I'm already registered but had forgotten about you, but I don't see where. I haven't had a need for the service just yet, though I have before. May I suggest you occasionally email users, I've opted out of the design tips, but app updates (perhaps a monthly newsletter) would be good.
Hi everyone. I'm one of the co-founders of Snappa. Thanks for checking us out!
Our goal is to make the easiest graphic design tool you'll ever use. When we looked at what was currently available, we found that most tools fell in two camps. They were either really easy but overly simplified, or had tons of features but were difficult to use. With Snappa, we wanted to make it incredibly easy yet allow you to create highly engaging images.
In addition, we wanted to integrate directly with social media networks to allow for direct posting and a super efficient workflow. We're also going to be adding other integrations in the future like a WordPress plugin.
Finally, we wanted to introduce an all-inclusive pricing model with thousands of built-in visual assets and no additional charges.
Launching soon!
Ive used this and Pablo by Buffer. Both are good, but I really preferred Snappa as it provides a better range of starting sizes for images for more than just social networks.
Having worked with Chris before, I can also say you'll be in good hands with Snappa.
Looking forward to seeing the other integrations as this will really help distinguish Snappa as the tool of choice.
Great work guys, keep it up!
Hi Christopher, Glad to see you here on ProductHunt. I've used Snappa several times and loved it. It's very intuitive and easy to work with. I do think you're going to have a tough time competing with Canva if you don't make it clear for people what the difference between you two is. I've used Snappa and Canva and can't really notice the big USP in using Snappa.
@raultiru Thanks Raul. I think with every market there will always be more than 1 competitor and I think it's important to give customers different product choices. I feel we're bringing a tool that's extremely easy to use with a clean UI and many of our users/customers prefer that. That being said, I'm sure other people will still prefer Canva and we're totally cool with that. Also keep in mind that we're still a new product with lots of room to grow so as we progress I think it will become more and more clear how we're different. We have some really cool stuff in the works.
@cgimmer I have no doubt that It's going to be awesome! I've been using Snappa en Canva for months. In my opinion, 100 people giving compliments won't help as much as giving honest feedback. I can't wait to see how you're going to make this a great success. Not sure if you remember, but I gave you some great props here: http://www.raultiru.com/free-sto... ;) I'm glad to see that Snappa is trending on Product Hunt.
@raultiru Hey Raul I totally appreciate and value your feedback. And yes I do remember the post :) We hope to keep improving the product and continue to offer more value.
Big stepup from Pablo well done This is another great addition we've seen from makers this year to bring really substantial tools to non dev people to use. It's allowing people to build more robust MVP's cheaper and to run more effective media campaigns also.
@codingdog This is awesome. I would love to interview you for our Top Makers podcast. You can reach me at colin@equitydirectory.com
Snappa is an awesome tool. I use it all the time. Great support too. Happy to see it hit number one. upvote now!
@cgimmer I think video producers/editors will love this tool to create assets quickly, easily and on a budget. Especially given the market for "buzzfeed" videos.
@askdaylen I must agree, almost everything is free but the stock photos... Indirect revenue stream. The excuse are the photos the quality of tool is the lock in.
@askdaylen besides I have no problem spending $1 at once. I might not create 40 pieces at all. Canva is working extremely well for us so far.
@askdaylen I agree. If you use your own assets, Canva is a much better deal. If you're doing a LOT of graphics and using a lot of third party assets, Snappa is probably, financially, a better move, but I'm with you.
Looks like a really solid addition to the DIY design market with super simple pricing to boot. Limited use for free... or all the bells and whistles for a measly $10/month. It's always refreshing to see a SaaS company that doesn't get in their own way with a ludicrous pricing table. :) Good luck!
Looks nice and will come in handy for many people. It won't replace a real graphic artists' work for sure but small businesses will benefit from Snappa from the start.
I can only suggest changing your "55s demo". When I clicked on the video, I was expecting an example demo where you guide us through start to finish in 55 seconds but it is more like an ad-type kind of thing. I think it would be better if you include a simple step-by-step kind of demo in the website. It would have been more convincing for me.
This is what Banner Mania from the old DOS days would be if it was still alive :-)

Hey, I was thinking about this concept. If there anything like this. Registered and started creating Marketing material for my Mac Apps. As, I am marketing guy. Tool something like this will same time, not to wait for graphics designer to get the design ready for my campaigns. Lots of LOVE and all the best for the future.
I tested Snappa over the last few days and I'm stunned how awesome it is! I used Canva from time to time, but never really sticked to it. Now with Snappa I have the feeling that I'm using it every day
Awesome tool! It'd be great if you included a 20% text verification for facebook posts (for ads) ;) keep up!
That and "undo"!
@pojda Hey Thiago. We actually have this built-in. Just click the grid button on the toolbar and it will overlay the Facebook grid. If your text takes up 5 squares or less you're good.
@cgimmer now that you mentioned it makes total sense! Perhaps you should add that info somewhere, as more people might need that too :)
@pojda We have it in our knowledge base but that's probably not enough. I'll have to think about this one!
Why would a graphic design tool have dumb apostrophes on their own website? http://smartquotesforsmartpeople...
@jommi Hi Joakim. Great question!
I just shared a message about our inspiration for creating Snappa and how we see ourselves differentiating from other tools in the market. Mainly:
1) Ease of use & UI
2) Social integrations
3) All-inclusive pricing
Snappa is still very much in its infancy so we have lots of ideas for future development that will continue to set us apart from other tools.
YouTube Thumbnails. I've wanted this for so long! I use Canva for all of my graphics, but with the YT Thumbs and Usability of Snappa I'll be trying this out for a while! Thanks :)
