Easy to download and set up ad sizes Cons It's. A little manual, it doesn't automatically get it right so I found myself going into each size ad and tweaking different things. The logo also came out blurry on some sizes. If you already use illustrator for display ads, I don't think this tool saves that much extra time and I fact limits you with respect of layout Review Source AM Angelo M. Marketing Coord Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Its Easy" June 19, 2019 5.0 I guess the way bannersnack works and the diversification of media is very important.

I can grab the link and send to others. Cons The low amounts of templates. There aren't as many as i'd like.

Ad Ops Project Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I'm really pleased with the product, it's been easy to use and I like using the templates." May 8, 2018 5.0 It sped up production time by a lot! Pros I like the animated templates a lot and that it's cost-effective. It's really easy to use and I like that you can go into other users' folders. Cons Not being able to hide layers and that sometimes there's a lag between changes and the preview link banners. I also don't really like that when you add images you can see overhang. I'd like the option to have it just show in the banner space. Review Source Response from The Brief May 15, 2018 Hello Noelle, Thank you for taking the time to leave your positive feedback on Bannersnack. You can quickly hide or show layers by clicking on the eye icon from the right side of the layer. It's important to note that the hidden layers will be displayed when viewing the banner after saving as they are meant to be hidden when working on your banner so you have more space, thus making it easier on the user. Now on to your lag issue, we are currently working on improving the loading time on Bannersnack and issues such as the one you mentioned should be taken care of once the updates go live. VR Verified Reviewer Product Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product for teams" July 2, 2019 5.0 Great tool for making great, scalable custom banners that can be used by teammates as templates. Really speeds up our process. Pros Easy to use interface and great degree of control, especially switching over from Adobe Illustrator. Easy export and customization. Cons Can't do clipping masks, but this is very minor. Review Source JP Jess P. Webmaster Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Bannersnack Makes Generating Your Online Ad Easy" December 11, 2019 5.0 Great product overall for creating banners on a budget with ease. Pros This easy to use online banner maker is just perfect for making banner ads. They have many stock photos to fit your advertising needs as well as a variety of many style fonts to boldly say what you need to say. Cons It takes a minute to get used to how everything works. It could also use a few more image editing tools.

VR Verified Reviewer Assistant Graphic Designer Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bannersnack is an excellent resource for creating dynamic banner ads. The UI is easy to understand." May 7, 2018 5.0 The ability to make (and export) dynamic banner ads faster than having to go through programs such as Adobe After Effects. Also the ease of creating and viewing banners on a team. Pros I like how there's a large range of customization with the animations and images, and the ability to change the timing, duration, delay, type of animation, etc. I haven't run into any feature of Bannersnack that inhibited my ability to make a dynamic banner ad. Cons The layers within in the banner sets get convoluted when creating multiple banners with the same layout. To make things easier I found I have to create each banner snack separately so the layers don't get messed up. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head Of Marketing Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BannerSnack Makes It Easy To Create Interactive Banner Advertisements" December 5, 2017 5.0 BannerSnack is the go-to product for making dazzling display advertisements for any platform. Pros Digital advertising has become an extremely important part of our marketing strategy, and BannerSnack has become the tool that we use to create the effective, sharp banner ads that we use for display advertising. Cons There isn't too much to dislike, but one complaint would be that they need to think about upgrading the user interface to something more equivalent with that of Adobe Photoshop. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Helped in a pinch " September 14, 2020 5.0 Overall Bannersnack was a real lifesaver - it helped me to quickly create clean, polished banners at no cost. While I used it as a free trial for banners this time, I could absolutely see paying for use of other templates. Pros I liked how easy it made it to create simple banners. I'm in marketing but I'm not a designer. I needed a couple of banner ads quickly and had no budget to create them. I was able to create them in Bannersnack pretty easily and they look professional. Cons Overall I really liked it. One thing that I didn't love was that in the pre-set templates I was not able to change the background color -- it may be possible to change but, if so, I couldn't figure it out so just ended up going with a "make from scratch" option. Review Source Response from The Brief September 28, 2020 Hello! Thank you for choosing Bannersnack! We appreciate your kind words and are happy to hear that you had no difficulty using our platform. Your feedback is much appreciated and will be considered in future feature updates. If you have any questions or require technical assistance, our representatives are eager to help via our Livechat.

This software allows us to create multiple banner sizes in a matter of minutes as opposed to hours. We run a lot of marketing campaigns and use a lot of display ads so this software is such a god send for creating quick visuals for campaigns in static display or HTML5 formats. Cons I really can't think of anything I don't like about this software. I'm super glad I found it as it's saved me HOURS of time each campaign.

VR Verified Reviewer Digital Marketing Manager Europe Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Agencies : beware of these guys !" January 21, 2019 4.0 Definitely an excellent tool to organize, create and replicate banner sets for your activity. Works on every dimension and offers great functionalities Pros Simplicity to create multiple sets of banners Cons having to manually tweak the banners can damage the beauty of Bannersnack's concept Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Marketing Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Our marketing team has had a great experience with Bannersnack!" May 3, 2018 4.0 Pros Our graphic designers love the animation feature it allows a newer designer to create html5 ads with ease. Cons Bannersnack could create more templates for both animated and static banners. The ones they have now have been the same for a while. Review Source WF Wayne F. Digital Content Producer Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great. Could be better and always improving" June 19, 2019 5.0 I did contact Bannersnack for one query and they resolved it instantly. Cannot grumble with their expertise. Pros It's very intuitive and allows me to create a range of different pieces of creative with ease. I loved the most recent feature whereby you could resize creative with a click of a button. Cons Sometimes artwork doesn't resize correctly and the option to download them can seem a bit cackhanded.

We are delighted to see that Bannersnack is proving useful as a banner design tool and we are happy to see our users make the best of it, as these things keep us moving and improving! VR Verified Reviewer Freelance Graphic Design, Art Direction, Media Production Graphic Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Quick and convenient templates and easy to learn." March 30, 2018 5.0 Verify banner dimensions and standards. Possibility for future workflow implementation to increase efficiency during tight deadline situations. Pros As a graphic designer, I love the convenience of presets and templates without having to create them myself. This is all online for online visuals; how appropriate. The interface is clean, works well and is intuitive. Cons Free plan only allows 10 banners/lifetime. It would be nice to open that to unlimited, as the paid plan offers more convenient features (multiple layout view, etc.) But I suppose it's not too cost restrictive for the basic plan, if I use it regularly. Review Source AP Amelia P. Owner Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent platform and customer support, I give 5 out of 5" May 6, 2018 5.0 Pros I use it for all my graphic design needs in addition to banners, eg. social media banners, blog posts, front page banners or sometimes just to get royalty-free images. Cons The image search is not the best so this could be improved. Great selection of royalty free images though but typing two words in the search doesn't bring required results. One word - yes. The image display can also be improved as thumbnails are too small. I wish you could open them in a window Review Source Tal L. Manager Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software to design html5 banners with" September 13, 2018 5.0 Love it. Nice and fun with great outcomes Pros It comes with a set of very useful templates and is very natural to use for a non professional user if you don't want to create customized animation Cons The new option to design a set of banners is a nice idea but is hard to use and limited Review Source Roger L. Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing tool for my advertising team" May 10, 2018 5.0 Pros Ease of use.. cost is fair.. my non designers can now do great banner designs whiteout having to big design team Cons Nothing that I can think off.. I only wished I would have found before would have saved me a lot of money. Review Source DI Danish I.

Bannersnack makes banner producing a breeze. Looking forward to new features. Pros Ease of use, lots of export options, font upload, images upload, use of stock database, working on couple of banners in the same time. Cons Not able to scroll through timeline while animating banner. Also, all the layers are visible all the time even though they shouldn't be visible. It makes a lot of clutter while arranging layers.
