What is ClickDesigns?
Ever feel like your design skills are more “potato with whiskers” than “masterpiece”? If that’s you, ClickDesigns might just become your new best friend.
With every other tool promising amazing designs at the push of a button, ClickDesigns really does deliver some of that – if you’re into family analogies, think of it as Canva’s clever cousin who’s obsessed with AI.
The main thing that makes it stand out for me is that it just gets rid of the blank page. Or rather the fear of it, I should say. I’ve always hated starting from scratch with a design – it can be too hard to direct your thoughts.
The good thing is, ClickDesigns lets you hop right into their templates, so you’ve got a starting point to work with, and then it’s just a matter of tweaking a few bits and pieces.
Main Features
Okay, there’s good news and bad news.
The good news? With over 25,000 templates at your fingertips, you’re spoiled for choice.
The bad news? Now you’ve got no more excuses.
You can’t keep procrastinating on that X thread, or your next Instagram carousel, because you can have all the images you need in a few clicks.
Key Feature (That We At AmpiFire Love The Most….)
The key feature of ClickDesigns is its user-friendly design toolbox which you can use to create high-quality graphics, including 3D mockups, logos, box shots, and other digital assets, without requiring advanced design skills.
The drag-and-drop interface lets you customize templates or create designs from scratch with ease.
ClickDesigns is also riding the AI wave with some kick-ass, point-and-click voodoo wizardry:
- AI Copywriter: The AI can generate headlines, calls-to-action, and other copy elements for your designs.
- AI Image Generator: Its AI can also create original artwork and images for your projects.
- Background Remover: One-click removal allows you to swap backgrounds instantly.
- Object Removal: Zap away unwanted elements from your images effortlessly.
Need a logo, an ebook cover, or a 3D box shot? ClickDesigns has you covered. It even offers features for creating digital device mockups.
Want to slap your design on a billboard or print it on a T-shirt? No problem! We’ve tried everything, and all the output – from phone case designs to posters – looks super sharp.
Done with your masterpiece and ready to show it off to the world? With just a click, you’re sorted. ClickDesigns does all the techy bits for you.
It sounds like a classic ad speak that you hear everywhere, but it really is like having a whole design team in your pocket. Basically, the moment an idea pops into your head, you can be showing it off a few moments later.
Pros
ClickDesigns has enough potential to become your new go-to design app for growing your personal brand – and here’s why:
- User-Friendly Interface: ClickDesigns is pretty nice to use. It’s not iPad level easy, where you can just turn the thing on and you’re away. But it’s got a drag-and-drop editor that’s fairly simple.
- All the templates: With over 25,000 templates covering dozens of different industries, you’re bound to find something that fits your needs.
- Quality Output: No more pixelated nightmares. ClickDesigns lets you download high-resolution designs that look sharp whether they’re on a billboard or a business card.
- Commercial License Included: Use your designs for client work or sell them without worrying about copyright issues. It’s like getting the keys to the design kingdom!
- Instant Gratification: With its zero learning curve, you can start creating professional-looking designs faster than you can say “graphic design is my passion.”
- Versatility: From logos to ebook covers, ClickDesigns has tools for a wide range of design needs. It’s like having a Swiss Army knife for graphics.
- AI-Powered Features: Writer’s block? Uninspired visuals? Let the AI copywriter and image generator give your creativity a boost.
- Works with Any Website Builder: While ClickDesigns offer a WordPress plugin for the media library, it also works seamlessly with any website builder like Convertri, Kajabi, CF, and others. There’s even a Google Chrome extension available.
Cons
While ClickDesigns is impressive, it’s not without its quirks. Here’s what might make you scratch your head:
- Limited Advanced Features: If you’re a design pro looking for complex tools, you might find ClickDesigns a bit basic. It’s more “design for the people” than “design for the pros.”
- Internet Dependent: No Wi-Fi? No design. As an online platform, ClickDesigns needs a stable internet connection to work its magic, and there’s no offline version available.
- Stock Media Library Limitations: While the template selection is vast, the stock media library isn’t as extensive as some competitors. You might need to bring your own images to the party more often.
- No Video/Audio Exports: If you’re looking to create video content, you’ll need to look elsewhere. ClickDesigns is all about static graphics.
- Price Point: Some users might find ClickDesigns a bit pricier compared to alternatives like Canva. It’s not breaking the bank, but it’s not pocket change either.
- Learning Curve for Advanced Features: While basic designs are a breeze, mastering some of the more advanced features might take a bit of time and patience.
