What is DesignCap

DesignCap is a web based application that allows you to create stylish graphic designs in your browser, without the need to download and install any additional software.

If you ask a designer to create an advertisement or banner that you often see on social media channels or a stylish graphic page for your company’s homepage, it can cost you alot if you have set your standards which can be delivered only by the professionals. Using DesignCap to create such kind of things can be easy and free. Learning curve of the interface is not very steep and you can get done with your first design in about half an hour while followup designs will be done in even lesser time.

DesignCap – Drawbacks

DesignCap is a simple tool which performs what it advertises to do, However some of the issues I noticed were :

  • No Dedicated Dashboard Button – When you open designcap.com and if you are logged in there is not dedicated “Editor” button which will take you to the Layout designer, you have to click ‘Get Started Now’ to enter the interface which is not very intuitive and there should be an added header link for the registered users
  • Size Limits – Various SM platforms have limits on their upload sizes, while DesignCap does not warn against that, for example using a YouTube Thumbnail Icon if downloaded in High res is above 3MB while the limit to upload on YouTube is only 2MB.
  • Cache Save Issues – At times you make changes to your templates and click on download the image , It may not download an image which you will see in the preview as the image auto save is delayed while whenever anyone presses Download, it should save the latest canvas edits and download that. At times even if you save the image it may still download something which is older and not saved.
