Pixlr vs. Procreate

If you're in a situation where you're regularly creating content for a website, social media page, or even printed materials, Pixlr is a great option! It allows you to create something simple from scratch (with just a solid background and text) or something more complex (with multiple pictures, layers, fonts, shadowing, etc.). It's our go-to method for creating content. If you're someone who isn't very tech savvy, the learning curve for using Pixlr effectively could be discouraging. The interface is intuitive, but there's a lot to it

We are using Procreate less and less as Adobe tools catch up with more iPad applications and sketching styles, but Procreate is still superior in flexibility and online tutorials. We are using other, more formal tools more, just because the changing nature of work is less illustrative.

Canva is a similar program using for creating content. I've tried out their suite as well but always end up coming back to Pixlr because of ease of use, and my familiarity with the product. They continue to make upgrades to the product and have always had what we feel we need to make top-notch looking graphics for our organization.

We broadly use the Adobe suite for other applications, so as Adobe tools have advanced, it is difficult to have an outlier in the toolkit, but Procreate still offers a lot of ease of use and competes with more formal Illustrator tools. We use Illustrator a lot for general design work once they pass initial concepting.
