2 Awesome Image Editing Tools

Great images can really take your blog to another level. Content with beautiful, relevant images gets 94% more views than content without images. The perfect image makes a blog post more accessible and more shareable. 

Whether you're adding text to an image or just make it pop, these tools can help you take your blog posts to the next level.

1. Canva


Canva is an online design tool that's perfect for bloggers. It offers a free version that you can easily use to create amazing Photoshop quality graphics and has thousands of free images, backgrounds, and templates to choose from. There are also opportunities to purchase upgrades for even more options.

Canva uses drag-and-drop functionality, making it easy to resize and customize images. Use a preexisting template to design the perfect image to share on social media, or customize your dimensions. 

2. Piktochart


Piktochart is perfect for creating infographics, presentations, and reports. This is a powerful way to provide information that doesn't require a lot of time to read or understand. It takes awhile to read 200 words about a topic but it only takes a few seconds to absorb information from visual content.

Choose a template or create your own. Use the thousands of free graphics to turn your information into an informative visual scene.  

Watch this quick Piktochart tutorial to learn more.

All you need to get started is the perfect image. Take advantage of the Creative Commons Zero license which requires no attribution. I love Pixabay, Magdeleine, or Death to the Stock Photo. Once you've found that, you can edit your graphic to create something eye-catching and unforgettable!

Crichton calls on us to treat our media consumption like we should treat our diet: lower quantity, higher quality. This article really got me thinking about the importance of appropriate technology use. While reading about media and content I came across a quiz about smartphone compulsion. I opened the quiz with a lot of confidence because I don't feel like I'm a slave to my smartphone by any means. Sure, it's the first thing I reach for in the morning. A quick email check, social media scroll, and read a little news. And okay, it's usually the last thing I look at when I go to bed, when...
