Pros I really liked this tool. Easy to make very nice images and designs for social media or display advertising. Cons It's not really a software con... I just don't have to make as many images nowadays so I don't get to use this often. Review Source Wilfried B. Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Designbold auf Appsumo gekauft - jetzt nicht mehr erreichbar" April 15, 2022 3.0 Das Produkt war gut und ich hätte es gerne genutzt. Aber was ist das für eine Firma, die ein Produkt verkauft für einen Lifetimepreis und dann löscht sie einfach die Seite und ist nicht mehr erreichbar. Pros Mit hat die Software gefallen. Seit Monaten ist www.designbold.com nicht mehr erreichbar und als Kunde habe ich keinerlei Informaiton erhalten, warum die Seite nicht erreichbar ist. Designbold hat mir dieses Produkt verkauft und dann sind sie einfach verschwunden. Ich finde das ist Abzocke! Cons Mir gefällt das Geschäftsgebaren von designbold nicht. Ich habe das Produkt gekauft und nun ist www.designbold.com nicht mehr erreichbar.

I also like the large access to design elements to make something truly unique Cons IT can be a bit slow from time to time when working with multiple layters and design elements. I find it doesn;t have as much choice compared to a tool like Visme but do have assets that are not present on visme. Review Source Trang N. Student E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A money-saving design tool" October 4, 2018 4.0 Overall, I think DesignBold is a must-try item as a design solution. It's useful and economical for who can't afford to buy PRO/VIP account. Free experience on DesignBold is absolutely excellent. Pros Compared to other design tools I have ever tried, DesignBold for free users offers me such a lot of non-paid but cool features. I am still a student and I rarely need to design, so I find it unnecessary to pay money to upgrade to PRO/VIP account. Actually, free experience on DesignBold is enough for me to deal with my homework and projects. Cons At rush hour, it takes times to load design elements. As a result, I need to spend more time finishing my designs. Sometimes it doesn't matter to me, but it's really a disadvantage especially when I'm in a hurry.

November 9, 2018 5.0 Pros It's just amazing, it has everything like Canva to design awesome designs for social media and web in general. I can recommend! Cons It could have more pre-made designs and a little bit more options. Review Source Retno W. English Teacher Alternative Dispute Resolution Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A quick and painless solution to graphic design needs" January 10, 2019 5.0 Pros Templates, templates, templates. There are templates for virtually any kind of design that you need, from brochures to ebooks to Instagram posts. Pick one and adjust it to your project and you'll have a professionally design product. Cons It's an online based tool. Users have to be connected to the internet to work with it. It's also not as powerful as the desktop based counterparts. Review Source lily S. secretary Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Who Needs Graphic Designer?" November 10, 2018 5.0 Designbold helps me cut time and cost in designing promotional​ materials for my business. Pros Designbold helps novice users create a wide variety of graphic-designed items such as cards, brochures, envelopes, and more. It also handles images for social media promotions such as Instagram and Facebook. Cons The result is not good enough for large printing such as banners. Review Source Suradj H. CEO Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very Useful!" March 7, 2018 5.0 Pros I like the predefined layouts and especially the tags. Also i like the resize option, this helps a lot when you need a design for different platforms. Cons I'm missing some concrete design "training" section related to the software. Example: i would like to see which are "Hot Fonts" to use and how to make use of these fonts in your design. Review Source AJ Antonette J. Transformational health coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Don’t bother. It’s too cumbersome" March 11, 2021 3.0 Quite unhappy that I spent money on this. Wish I could’ve had a trial run before purchasing...cuz I wouldn’t have Pros I liked the idea of its potential. Make my own ebooks and brochures and other materials. It had a good idea, mimicking a lot of features Canva has. Cons It’s just too cumbersome. Too buggy. It took way too longer to make whatever product because the features were either too complicated to make work or just did not work. Review Source ND Nik D. Owner and CEO Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My favorite design app" April 5, 2018 5.0 I save so much time creating professional social media images. I couldn't imagine not having DesignBold in my creative stack. Pros DesignBold, for me, leaves Canva in the background. It's really easy to make professional social media and graphic designs in as little or as much time as you'd want to take. All the design elements are completely customizable. One of the coolest features and what I like most is their "magic resize" option. Say you wanted to create a LinkedIn banner image, and not start from scratch when creating a Facebook cover photo, all you do is click resize at the top, and "magic resize" it to the preset (or custom) dimensions. So cool. Cons I really don't have many complaints with DesignBold. The only complaint I have is, when you want to delete a design, it's not apparent right away. You click the design, then the trash icon (along with preview, share, and download \[and other options\]) shows up on the upper right, as opposed to on or nearby the design you selected. That part is not as intuitive and takes some getting used to. Review Source MS Mark S. owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for quick projects" December 3, 2019 4.0 I use it, we will continue to use it and we know it's going to fulfill the needs that we have. It's got enough great features to make it useful and cover all the bases. No it's not an $800 Adobe product, but we don't need that. Pros It's a goto for creating images we need. No need to strike up a software and keep it updated. No hassle software that makes us look good quickly. Cons it'd be nice to see more updates happen. Could be just me, but they seem to not be on the cusp of updates. This is a forced complaint as overall we use this and the end viewer experiences a high quality piece of work nonetheless. Review Source Jeffry T. Contributing Writer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Boldly Design Where Everybody Can Produce Great Design" September 14, 2018 4.0 Pros Creating a graphical piece is simple, quick, and intuitive. Even the common Joes can create a beautiful piece with ready to use templates. Cons While the final result is sufficient for web graphic, the export quality not good enough for printing purpose. Review Source Brionne G. Associate Digital Graphic Designer Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Pleasantly Surprised by all the Features" November 27, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that there are so many template options, and I was happy to find some good quality designs in there. I also like that you can lock layers so they don't move when you don't want them to. I haven't seen any other online design programs that offer this. I also like the plethora of font options. You can never have too many font options in my opinion. Cons I wish the templates could be sorted by topic, like Easter, Halloween, etc. and I wish they had a color picker. Other that that, I'm very pleased with the service. Review Source Jockie T. Senior Consultant Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easily Create Graphics From Stationaries to Instagram Posts" November 14, 2018 5.0 Pros There are tons of ready to use templates. Creating a graphical image is easy. One graphic can be repurposed for other usages. Cons It would be better if there are more export options with higher quality Review Source EE Elisa E. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing program!" October 21, 2018 5.0 designbold solves a lot of the marketing and graphic design issues that we have. Love this program! Pros So easy to create fantastic looking flyers, presentations, resumes, webinars and more. There are so many different templates and stock photos to choose from. The possibilities are endless! Cons DesignBold was a tad hard to figure out how to use at first, but once you dive into it it becomes easier to figure out. Review Source Craige Hardel -. Owner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Does what I want but really can improve" April 1, 2018 3.0 Desktop wallpapers as a post type apart from social media and blog posts. Really nice add on Ability to post directly to Facebook Numerous to vary designs for clients Pros Multiple image types and sizes Dark mode (easier on eyes when creating posts) Numerous design templates to choose from the post types Cons Almost no customer support despite having chat button Slow web interface Interface to organize photos is clunky and can be improved (should be easier to organize photos) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Marketing Manager Computer Hardware Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love it!" April 9, 2019 5.0 Overall Designbold is awesome if you want to create a really aesthetically pleasing, in depth presentation. I don't use it as often as I use other presentation software, but when I do I always end up happy with my experience and end product. Pros Designbold has a TON of templates and stock images, making the creation of presentations, webinars, and so much more a quick and easy whirl. Cons I've have a couple problems with saving presentations, but I'm not sure if that's on Designbold or my browser! Review Source Manuel C. Business Owner Photography Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Finally a strong Canva competitor" July 23, 2019 5.0 Pros DesignBold will help you create graphics for everything, not only online but also printable. You are also able to resize your graphic on the fly with just clicking one button. The variety of templates is almost infinite, and there are one for every niche. Cons They don't have a mobile version of this software, only web version. Review Source JT Jovanhanna T. Spiritual Love Coach Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Making graphics is so easy" May 5, 2018 5.0 Pros The templates are more professional looking and there is a great library of diverse images to choose from. Organizing my designs is easy and I'm able to use custom fonts. You can also share your designs and follow other designers. Cons The only drawback is I'm not able to use it on mobile. Otherwise it would be perfect. I use another app when I'm on the go and that breaks up the consistent design. Review Source SW Stacey W. consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for designing presentations" March 13, 2019 5.0 Pros I use DesignBold to design presentations. There are lots of templates to make it extremely easy to come up with decks that shine. Cons Platform can be very slow at times, which is a problem if you're working with a deadline. Review Source AI Ahmed I. CEO Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good choice for all those interested in graphic design " August 7, 2021 5.0 Through my experience with many design programs, Designbold has proven its capabilities in terms of speed, ease of use and flexibility in switching between tools. I recommend it Pros Easy to use for any designer compared to other design software and platforms. Ease of access to all the tools and additions that help the designer to produce the work he wants, in addition to the presence of many tools that meet all the needs of the designer Cons I did not find any negatives in terms of work But it is very small in terms of price But in terms of tools and capabilities, it is amazing Reason for choosing designbold Simply because it is the best Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Graphic Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "it fulfills its role" October 19, 2018 4.0 I had to use it several times to share the graphics for further editing. Pros \- you do not have to log in to start design - easy of use Cons Ugly elements like shapes, backgrounds etc.. Review Source BM Betty M. Founder Consumer Goods Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Coming up nicely" January 21, 2021 4.0 Amazing too Pros Since I was looking for something that I could do without a graphic design background I thought it was a good option Cons You dont get many options on the photos and background images,the background remover is good but in some cases it doesn't pick the small details Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Reason for choosing designbold I was trying it out to compare the two Review Source DL David L. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Canva Alternative" April 5, 2019 4.0 Still recommended tks to the beautiful templates! Pros \- they have prettier templates comparing to other design tools - comes with plenty of template options too. - magic resize feature Cons \- a bit clunky and hard to edit within the dashboard - need to improve on download resolution - hope they can provide the option to download as Power Point or Keynote format Review Source Daniel C. CEO Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "DesignBold is a clean and simple online design tool for non-designers we've come across." December 28, 2017 4.0 The ease of use and number of templates are awesome. In just a short time of goofing around I created a couple of great looking sample flyers. Pros I can share my designs with clients Ability to lock images on the canvas, to delete your uploads, more varied design template choices, upload your own fonts, download complex designs as PDF.
