Stencil offers a vast range of features to make your content creation process more effective. Let’s review five of these features and discover how they can help increase marketing productivity for you or your business.
Designed for Speed
Creating images on the go no longer has to be the cause of headaches. With Stencil, in a matter of seconds or minutes, you can turn one graphic into multiple size-optimized graphics for your various platforms.
With our instant-resizing tool, you’ll be on your way in just a few clicks. No need to ever leave your editing flow to change the size of an image or research the best sizes for different platforms, we do it for you.
Color-Picker
Our color-picker feature makes it easy to store your brand colors so that they are easily accessed at any time. Create beautiful designs by dragging the color-picker around your graphic to choose your desired colors.

By using this feature, you’ll always have your brand colors available and have the opportunity to access them quickly when needed.
