One of the greatest challenges we all face is coming up with fresh and creative content weekly. From strategizing on how to build social presence to juggling your daily activities, fitting in content creation is a lot of work. And even when creating new content is already hard enough, finding the resources to help you can be even harder. But don’t worry, we have great news! We’ve partnered with Canva, Unsplash, and Pexels to bring you 3 product integrations on PLANOLY.
After receiving hundreds of requests from our users for access to various design tools, we’ve done just that. With this perfect trio, users can access their Canva designs directly on PLANOLY as well as utilize free stock photos from Unsplash and Pexels on our web dashboard. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key information about each of these integrations and discuss the value of adding stock photos into your social media strategy.
When we think of stock photos, we think of sometimes boring, no personality images, but actually, stock photos have come a long way. Stock photo imagery are images that are licensed for specific uses and are great resources to those who don’t have access and are needing high-quality photography. While some will require you to pay upfront before downloading, many are free for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Plus, they also serve as a great way to spark up your creativity, provide inspiration, and help you visually tell your story with beautiful imagery. While free stock photos do not require you to give permission, attributing the photographer is always appreciated! With our new integrations, users can utilize free stock photos from Unsplash and Pexels, and upload their Canva designs right on PLANOLY’s web dashboard.
Canva is a graphic design website that makes creating and branding your social media content easy. It’s the perfect tool for non-designers as you don’t need any graphic design experience. They have over 50,000 templates that you can customize in just a few clicks. Plus, there’s an array of features like cropping, color correcting, and text animations. If you’re looking for even more creative options, there is a Pro version that lets you access over 100+ million premium stock photos, videos, audio, and graphics.
Our new integration lets you easily access your Canva designs directly on PLANOLY’s web dashboard. What makes this integration great is you no longer have to download, save, and re-upload your Canva files to PLANOLY. Instead, you can directly access your Canva account when planning or scheduling on PLANOLY. So adding your Canva content to your PLANOLY grid only takes a few clicks. Your downloads folder will thank us later!
