Snappa: Terrific Free Online Graphics Creator

As a writer, I work with images frequently and regularly and am always on the lookout for websites that provide a graphics creation/editing service for free.  It’s also important, from a writer’s point of view, to make sure we are not contravening any copyright, so royalty-free images are also a consideration.

You might not work with images as often as I, but even for the casual user, this website is well worth bookmarking:

Snappa: Free Online Graphics Creator

Snappa Intro

Snappa offers a range of plans starting with a plan that is completely free. You do need to sign up for an account after which you’ll have access to 6000+ templates, 5,000,000+ HD images, and graphics plus, of course, Snappa’s terrific graphics creation/editing tools. The free plan allows only three downloads per month but that should be adequate for the casual user:

Snappa’s Graphics Creator Features:

  • Size: Select the exact size of your image (in pixels)
  • Background: Choose from a range of photos (or upload your own), patterns, or select a solid color
