8 Apps to Help You Create Content that Stands Out
Running a small business is hard work, but social media content creation doesn’t have to be. If you have space on your phone to download an app or two, you’re just about set to make all the content you could imagine.
Master Stories with Mojo
Mojo offers hundreds of professional-looking Instagram story templates. In the pro version, you can save your brand colors and fonts to make editing the templates to your brand’s style easy. If you’re not ready to pay for the full version, you can still change the colors and fonts in each template. You’ll just have to do it manually each time. Mojo lets you upload your own photos and videos but also provides stock photography and stickers as well as animated text and backgrounds.
Spark Your Creativity with Adobe
Adobe Spark is great because it can be accessed from the mobile app or through their website on a desktop. They also have templates for just about anything from social posts to infographics to newsletters and more. Spark even has an option to convert videos to GIFs. This app is great for teams because it allows you to share editing access with other users and even lets you tag them in comments. Under the paid team membership, you’ll have special admin features including licensing and tech support.
Produce Videos with Magisto
A lot of digital marketing experts will tell you that video is king. So, how can you master this technique easily? Magisto is a video editing app that uses AI to create stunning social content. All you need to do is upload your video to the app and choose an editing style and song to go along with it. Magisto does the rest!
Create Just About Anything with Canva
Over the years, Canva has really become a one-stop-shop. They have tools to help you design a logo and set your brand fonts and colors. Their template library includes social posts for every platform you can think of and for every banner, thumbnail, and icon you need to keep your social profiles looking completely branded. You can even schedule posts for later on the app.
Post Full-Length Videos on Your Story with CutStory
If you’re tired of not being able to post a clip on your Instagram story because it’s longer than 15 seconds, then you need to download CutStory ASAP. This app takes a video of any length and cuts it into 15-second increments so you can post full-length videos on your story. They also have templated layouts, text options, and music you can choose from so your brand can really stick out.
Trim, Split & Merge Clips with InShot
InShot is a video editing app for those with a little more experience. This app allows you to cut and merge clips together. You can also remove the middle of a video. Then, add music, sound effects, or your own voice-over. You can customize photos and videos in the app with filters, text, and stickers. InShot saves the edited video back onto your phone in 4K, which is a lot better than most of the other apps out there.
Become an Icon with Prequel
Prequel is the perfect app for anyone who is constantly calling things “aesthetic.” This app has over 800 filters, so you’ll be sure to find ones that fit you and your brand exactly. They also provide templates and fonts, music and stickers for you to add to your content. Besides their huge library of filters, Prequel’s claim to fame is their ability to make 3D photos.
Effortlessly Edit Photos with Meitu
Last, but not least, on this list is Meitu, an easy-to-use photo editing app. Along with the features of a regular phot editor, Meitu uses AI technology to detect facial features. This means that their retouching options, like blemish removers and dark circle erasers, are more accurate, and they can offer special motion stickers that show up while you’re taking a selfie.
