Sucks

2.0 2 years ago

Comments: Easier to create than in VistaPrint, but doesn't work well, ie no resize, had to download PDF and upload it to Vista Print.

Pros:

The backgrounds and templates are good. There are a lot of choices.

Cons:

Could not resize my flyer. Customer service had to do it. Customer service is very inadequate. Simple questions are evaded and unanswered. Seemed inexperienced. Insulted me with suggestions that are obvious. Could not get the cart to show to print on Vista Print. Finally had to download the PDF from Create and upload it to Vista print. Seems like this program tries hard but misses the mark.

Happy to have moved from a well-known platform

5.0 3 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.

Great if you want something quick and easy to use to make great social media posts and graphics

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: It's great for me as I need to create a lot of social media posts and Crello makes producing posts a lot quicker than the software I was using before, just because it cuts out a lot of the additional options that something like Photoshop has which aren't really needed for my social media posts.

Pros:

Easy to use, great value and also now is integrated with Publer.

Cons:

Some glitches with certain browsers not working all the time with it and on occasion I get some what appear to be guide lines appear on the screen which seem to restrict what I am able to do. I'm not sure how to get rid of them and so end up having to go out of a project and then back into it to carry on editing it.

Amazing and Easy Tool for Creatives

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, I have always had a good experience with VistaCreate. It is very mobile friendly, I have not once needed to download it on a desktop-which says a lot! There are plenty of template options to get you started on any project or design. It is a pretty seamless experience overall and I definitely enjoy using it!

Pros:

I love how easy and quick it is to use this software! There are also a ton of options for templates and designs that are unique and not so basic.

Cons:

I think there could be improvement in having more font options and designs, there are a good variety of them, but definitely not enough compared to other software.

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

4.0 3 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 - It gets better and better

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I'd classify VistaCreate as an Intermediate Graphics Software. After a short learning curve, you will start appreciating and valuing the hidden features that VistaCreate's developers have built

Pros:

I like its combination of having Video and Images under one roof. A close second is its Animation templates, which I really really really like.

Cons:

Limited video editing functions. It may not be fair to fault VistaCreate on this aspect because it is primarily a (Static) Graphics Editing Software. But who knows, may as time goes by, their developer will improve and the video editing functions might match those of their graphics editing features.

Create Graphics in a Snap!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Can't believe I didn't know about Crello until this year, it has made managing my social accounts and creating graphics so SO much easier. It's a huge time saver and such a great source of inspiration day in and day out!!

Pros:

I love Crello mostly because of the no-fuss ease of use! Hands down the easiest way to create any, literally ANY style graphic for any and all type of social platforms as well as graphics for prints, e-books, business cards, posters, flyers, whatever you can dream, you can make it. Also the fact that there are never any hidden fees unlike some other graphics tools used in the past, which made you pay for extra elements used, once you sign up for an Advanced or Pro plan with Crello, you get access to a myriad of design elements in their library. That's it. All is there at your fingertips to use freely on your paid plans. I personally opted for a Pro plan as I manage various social accounts and create lots of graphics daily. Oh, you have loads and loads of your own design elements like fonts, backgrounds, patterns, images you'd like to use? Upload away and create to your heart's desire.

Cons:

It could have been user error, but when I clicked on a project and went to pick a different design, it completely changed my project without the possibility of going back to the original. In the e-book section, I don't like that it only gives you options to see designs for around 5- pages. But that's truly not a huge deal, as you can duplicate pages and page designs and keep on going. The zoom option should be a bit more seamless instead of clicking the zoom button at the bottom, like a mouse scroll action of sorts. Down the road I'd like to see a standalone app for Android and Mac, stepping away from using it in your web browser, but I know that's more in the realm of full software development. Just an idea. The Android app would be SUPER helpful though... Think about any and all social posts people make RIGHT ON their mobile devices!! Very small things in the grand scheme of things, the software is pretty rad all in all.

Pros:

The free trial offers a wide range of use. It can be easy for graphic designing . VistaCreate offers a wide range of objects, crisp patterns and colors to choose from. It can be helpful to materialize my ideas and keep my creative process flowing.

Simple graphics software

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I tried vistacreate and since I adopted it, why?
Because of its simplicity (handling, functionality etc.) you need to create a logo, a facebook post nothing more simple you choose your model you deposit your image or your video and it's over, you forgot to put music on it! Damn then choose your sound in the library and you will make the happiness of your followers. This online software is a killer, really.

Pros:

Its ease of use is what I like about them, the software does not bug and the models are very good with excellent quality. The image library is provided. The videos are of good quality or even superior quality. drag and drop and it's easy, a considerable time saver using this software. I highly recommend.

Cons:

To be honest with you this software has no weakness that I could write negative words about.

Vista Creates ... Vis ta cre ates

3.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Decently put together. Easy enough to use. The portion available online for ordering is good enough to do what you need to do quickly. Sometimes not as quickly as other times.But oft times, it's fine.

Cons:

mobile compatibility is low, slim/to/none in ease of use and user experience value for me is rated really low. finger drag lag is insane; and, I'd much rather prefer to make my design in another program then upload it to vista to print.
