Features Overview

Let’s take a quick look at the top features of the tool DesignCap.

1. Thousands of Templates

What do we need? To design beautiful graphics easily and quickly, right?

And, DesignCap has thousands of readymade professional templates which you can use as per your needs. Just do some minor edits and a unique graphic is ready for you.

2. Millions of Stock Images

Besides a huge number of templates, it also has millions of beautiful royalty-free stock images and illustrations which can be used in your designs.

However, you can also upload images from the computer if you don’t like one from the available library.

3. No Special Setup Needed

Yes, unlike other graphic design tools like Photoshop, you won’t have to install any heavy application on your computer.

All the designs can be created inside your web browser only.

4. Save as JPG, PNG, or PDF

This is one of the amazing features of the tool that I like the most. It provides you with an option to download your designs in various formats like JPG, PNG, and PDF.

DesignCap also lets you download graphics with transparent background in PNG format which is great for creating business logos.

5. Share on Social Media

DesignCap makes it very easy to share your design on your social media platforms like Twitter, Pinterest, and Tumblr.

You can share your designed images to social media right from your design dashboard with just a click.

6. Beautiful Cliparts

How can a beautiful design be complete without using clipart!!!

The tool has a searchable and organised clipart library which has hundreds of great looking clipart. You can use these in the preferred colour combination in order to make your designs look great and professional.

7. Beautiful Fonts

A lot of heading, sub-heading and body text styles are available which can be used in the designs. You can make changes to the text-styles and add custom colour from the colour picker tool.

6. Load Photoshop Projects

This is one of the most important and overlooked features of the tool. If you were working on a project in Adobe Photoshop then the same project can be continued on DesignCap by loading the DCP file from the local storage.

Getting Started

Getting started with the DesignCap is pretty easy – sign up, choose a template, customize and done.

Let me break the whole process into small baby-steps:

1. Creating an Account

First of all, you will have to create an account by visiting the DesignCap website. Visit the website and click on the Sign Up to do so.

You can create an account with your Google or Facebook account or by simply using your email address.

After you select the type of graphic you want to create, you will have all the available templates on the left side in a very organised way. Choose the one which is suitable as per your requirements.

3. Customize the Template

Once you choose a suitable template, now you will have to customize it as you want it to be. You can do so by changing the background, adding relevant clipart and beautiful texts.

I bet that even if you’re using the tool for the first time, you won’t need any kind of tutorial. You will just get along with this within no time.

4. Export or Share Designs

This is the final step of the designing process where your final design can be downloaded in PNG, JPG, or PDF formats.

If you’ve designed a logo then it can be downloaded in the transparent background (.png) format too.

And, if you want to share your designs as links on social media, then it can be done too.

Wrapping it Up

I have used this tool to create a few infographics and some social media graphics, it is very efficient and easy to work with.

It does offer a free version (limited resources available) which you can get started with, but if you’re looking for some serious designs for your business then consider upgrading your account to the premium. You can take a look at the DesignCap pricing plans to know which plan fits you.
