Stories by Pixlr is going to be like a knight in shining armour for someone highly active on social media. I try to keep a social media presence but even with the extra help I don't have time to post everyday, so Stories by Pixlr just didn't make sense for me.

Pros

Trendy templates for your timeline, page posts, stories, and such. The highlight is that it's a faster means of putting these posts together thanks to various AI features and smart suggestions. Smart crop was actually very clever and a brilliant idea.To keep it things so trendy, templates are changed each month. Almost any theme can be found.

Cons

AI crop and smart suggestions can be more like a stumbling block than a helping hand. It's constantly giving me suggestions. More often than not, they're a mile away from what I'm actually looking for.

I use Pixlr everytime I need quick graphic designs. it can do most of the designs for my needs without paying adobe a membership.

Pros

You can create almost anything you can do in photoshop.

Cons

Professional tools are a mission. but of course this is not photoshop. pixlr is is just a quick alternative
