Aspiring Social Media Content Creator? or maybe a Social Media Manager? or just wanting to update your socials using a tool that can easily make your design visual come to life? Here's Visme to fill-in that missing spot. Read: Glow up your presentation using Visme App. One of the confusions a lot of people have with Visme vs. other tools such as Canva, Adobe Photoshop, etc; is that they often think of Visme as just a Presentation or Infographic tool but it is so much more than that. Visme is used to create Graphs and Charts, Flyers, Scatter Plot Maker, Survey Results, Social Media Posts, Video/GIFs, and more. As for this post, we're going to tackle on the features of Visme which is the Social Media. Which we're gonna compare it with Canva. As you can see, they do have the socials on Top of the ready-made canvas. We're just gonna tackle here about the Facebook Covers, Ads, Event Covers, Posts, and Pages. Take this for example. 4 free ready-made template for Facebook Covers. A limited one for Free accounts. Let's talk about the Pros and Cons for creating Social Contents using Visme. I had a chance to explore both Free and Business/Premium account of Visme and I must say, I'm quite impressed at how this tool can actually help those business-aspiring users in creating their Social Posts having an upgraded account. Aside from creating a blank template/canvas, users can choose a ready-made template which the user can modified or just post it directly on their Social Accounts. The downside is for Free users. I just tackled the Free templates on Facebook Platform above which is somehow a NO for me. They got a very limited number of Free templates which somehow isn't good for those who are students, aspiring Social Media freelancers that updates their Social Portfolios, and for those freelancers with clients who doesn't provide a budget for account upgrading. In comparison to Canva's free account, users can have a countless number of templates that they can post (this for example for the Facebook Covers) in which a great way for starters. And now, let's explore creating a Facebook Post. On the left side corner, there's the basic ones such as the Header and Text, Fonts, Stats and Figures, Diagrams etc. that you can place on your template. You can always customized, remove those graphics/drawings and replace it to your liking. And so, I tried exploring the Graphics using the Search bar. Typing an specific name, which I made the piggy bank as an example. and compared it with Canva. Visme has both Premium and Free Graphic Icons for an specific user's needs. As for me, I'll be needing the saving related icon which I typed the basic one -- Piggy Bank. Of course, in comparison to Canva, they do have lots of Free ones as stated unlike the Visme that has a very limited number of Piggy Bank graphic on both Free and Premium. But it's just for Graphics and One specific Category and that doesn't mean it applies to general categories. With regards to Photo Categories, this just saved me as they got lots of photo free stacks that can be used either for Background or for a graphic image. Finally had lots of options not just in General Categories, but also in Specific Type. In Visme, you can have the list of option on what format are you going to download your graphic. Since this is for Social, I'll be downloading this as an Image. We do have 2. JPG format and PNG for Premium. Downloading it in High Resolution also requires a Premium Account. Final Verdict:Using Visme in creating Social Content has a 50/50 for me. As I've mentioned, I had a chance exploring everything using Free and Business Account. Of course you get what you pay for, which you can avail their plans by clicking here. But honestly speaking if you have a Free account, they had a very limited templates, limited graphics, saving option like the PNG and High Resolution which you needed to upgrade to Premium account. In Canva, those mentioned above can have it using Free Account. Saving options such as PNG image and High Resolution is FREE in Canva.
Will I use it for my postings? YES but only for alternative if Canva is down. I know Visme is continuously improving their services, and hoping to see changes in the near future.
