By Debbie Roy on March 25, 2025 No Comments

We all have our own favorite features, no matter what tools we use for our business. Whether you’re working on social media graphics, marketing materials, or personal projects, having access to the right tools can make all the difference.

In this blog post, we share five Stencil features you will love and need to try if you haven’t done so yet.

5 Stencil features you will love

Zoom Virtual Background

One thing you must try is creating a Zoom virtual background. With video conferencing playing a key role in communication, having a custom background helps establish a professional and branded presence, or it helps make it fun. This feature allows for easy customization, enabling the selection of images, addition of text, and adjustments to create the perfect background.

Whether for business meetings, presentations, or casual calls, having a virtual background enhances the overall experience.

Safe Areas

Another essential feature is Safe Areas, which provides built-in guides to ensure design elements are positioned correctly for various social media platforms and design formats. This is particularly important for social media, where text and images need to be strategically placed to avoid being cut off on mobile vs. desktop.

Safe Areas eliminate the guesswork, allowing designs to remain visually appealing and effective across different platforms. By using this feature, key messaging and branding remain intact without worrying about unexpected cropping.

Templates

For those who need to create visuals quickly, our Templates offer a practical solution. Instead of starting from scratch, a variety of professionally designed templates are available for customization in just a few clicks.

Whether creating social media posts, blog headers, or promotional materials, our templates can be adjusted to fit specific needs. By streamlining the design process, this feature ensures consistency and saves valuable time while maintaining a polished look.

5 things you will love about Stencil

Live Previews

Live Previews offer a hassle-free way to perfect designs before finalizing them. With real-time previews, it’s easy to see how graphics will appear once published, allowing you to make any changes needed. This ensures that content looks exactly as intended across different formats and platforms. It also makes your life easier with less back and forth when designing.

Google Fonts

Some of the most popular Google Fonts

are built directly into Stencil, and they are entirely safe to use in your photos. If you want to use a font that isn’t presently available in Stencil, you can import any of the 6,800+ Google Fonts. Find the ideal font for your image by using Google’s top free fonts! Many creators often wonder where to find fonts, but now you know how easy it is to access thousands of fonts that are completely royalty-free.

The entire Google Fonts collection is royalty-free and can be used for any purpose. They can be used in any of your photographs, whether personal or commercial, and no attribution is required.

We hope you will try some of these features if you haven’t already. Let us know your favorite Stencil features.
