How is Stencil different from Photoshop?

While Stencil can do a lot of what Photoshop does, it's perfect for someone with no design experience and is interested in creating images much -- MUCH -- faster. For example, if you're using Photoshop to create really simple graphics for social media or your blog, you're probably not using the best tool for the job.

A lightweight web application like Stencil can do the job better and with special features designed to save you time. Think of it this way, if all you're looking to do is slice some bread, you wouldn't want to use a chainsaw...right?

Stencil is built for speed and lives in your browser.

Stencil is designed from the ground up to be fast and easy to use. No need to download any software to your computer. We want image creation to be ultra fast, so you can focus on other tough parts of your business. Oh yeah, we also have addons for Chrome and Firefox, so you can create images from any web page you're on.

...or right on the page in Safari & Internet Explorer.

Stencil has over 1 million built-in assets and all-inclusive pricing

While Photosohop has a lot of very complicated features, they don't do a great job getting you the photos and graphics you need. If you can figure out how to get it set up, they also tend to charge by the asset - which can get pretty expensive. With Stencil, you get access to all 990,000+ photos and 200,000+ icons for one price...plus tons of amazing pre-made templates.
