Why Kittl is Better Than Photoshop and Canva

Here's why Kittl beats adobe photoshop and canva for graphic design when it comes to ease of use, price and library of assets. Every design tool is good in their own way so I always encourage everyone to try them all out to see which one fits your needs, style and overall way of learning. All personal Preference at the end of the day. If I had to rate them I would say Kittl is currently the top Online Design Tool around.

What is it? Kittl (formerly Heritage Type Co) is an online web app built to make complex design easier and empower you to create like a pro. It works right in your browser, it’s complete with fonts, illustration library, pre-made logo and merch design templates and much more without the need for expensive software and hours to learn them.

This video was great! This will definitely help a lot of designers who are just starting out and help them build the confidence to become better designers without the frustrations of learning to use adobe programs!

Love that you have Bam in your outro! Absoulte legend! 🙌🏾

[OnehandcanOfficial]

Awesome info man! Can’t wait to see you use this program!

[esentl]

Dope channel bro, as a fellow channel content creator I appreciate the quick and to the point videos, love the way you teach

I'm loving trying out Kittl...it would be my go to platform if it supported mobile use through web. Having the capability of sketching up designs on my Galaxy Tab S7+ is a must for me.

I've been using Photoshop for over 20 years for photo editing and I am sure I could figure out how to replicate almost everything in both Canva's and Kittl's libraries BUT it would take time for me to find the graphic assets and cool fonts, and come up with a creative great design...SO having tools like Canva and/or Kittl with great design templates ready to go and easy to manipulate is something I need to save a ton of time. Great video, just what I needed as I start focusing on creating my own shirt designs to sell online versus the high volume shirt orders I have been doing for schools, churches, and businesses for the past 5-6 years.

I am loving Kittl! Thanks for telling us about it. I just created my first design and uploaded it to sell. Amazingly easy to use.

[heathersellers]

Yes! I am a new...like baby brand new with design and Kittl has been amazing for me! It is so streamlined and easy to use. I absolutely love it!

[CharleyPangus]

Kittl is just another design tool guys. Use whatever works for you! Keep creating. Also, who cares that this is a sponsored video. Love Kittl whether they sponsored me or not. Great products speak for themselves.

[Shivers]

Nice video! I'm about to start my designer journey and have been comparing tools that would lessen or ease the learning curve. Looked into Canva, Adobe Express and Kittl. For me it's either going to be Adobe Express or Kittl. Do you have an opinion or a recommendation between these two?

[arkikali]

You're right about Canva's library. Also... Canva has thousands of templates, but they all tend to look the same. And most of them don't look cool. It's all the same wavy / minimalist stuff. I'm looking forward to trying Kittl. I use Affinity Photo right now, and I'm okay with it. I'd say a 5 on a scale of 1-10I'm hoping Kittl will help me level up a bit. LOL

Question will the finish product have the cutout line for the bn-20a so I don’t have to go back in Adobe illustrator to add them . Your video is great and gave alot of info

[ItsMePritpal]

Just registered my new account with kittl from your given link but didn't receive 3 month pro subscription yet

[Rebelos]

thanks for the video mate! I have taken so many tips from you. what transfer method do you use on tees like the one you're wearing in this video?

[dcruz]

can you make video on colors for marketing with a practical example in your empty
designs.

[dreamvinestudio]

But with so many people using the same templates on kittl, won't the POD market quickly become saturated with similar designs? That is my only concern, otherwise I love it and am actually considering cancelling my adobe subscription and signing up for the expert kittle subscription.

[drasticmeas]

What’s up Charley, love your channel bro. Can you go over/go into detail how you do your dissolving text with stroke like you done on your A7X Concept video. Either on this channel or Merch Design Academy. You’ve done it in a few vids but I never really got the concept down. Hopefully you know what I’m talking about. Thank you!

[SeusJP]

Can you switch from pro to expert payment plan on kittl

[charismawomen]

Thank you for sharing information and experience

[chadnicholas]

It is cool just a lot of things very similar when using templates. But it’s so easy to use

I’ve used Photoshop since it first came out for basic image editing to produce assets for websites and other marketing projects. It was very useful and powerful and I was in awe of its capabilities.

I always had a belief that one day I would master it when I had more free time to devote to learning it. I had a very demanding career in the investment business so putting a lot of hours into learning PS wasn’t possible for me.

Through my years of using it for basic editing and a few of the “fancy” things like building frame animations, batch processing, using some of the effects, I would say my skill rating for PS was maybe five or six, on a scale of one to ten. The problem is that I never mastered the basic foundational processes such as layers, layer masks, the many ways to select and how to use them, etc.

When Adobe started charging everyone monthly, vs. allowing us to just buy the program if we wanted to, and my need to do much image editing at that time, I canceled my CC account and found replacements for every program I used with Adobe, except for Photoshop.

I tried Gimp and hated it. Pixlr was okay, but I wasn’t convinced it should be my main image editor. I tried a few other image editing programs but did not find anything I was happy with.

In the last couple years, I’ve been doing more marketing projects where I definitely had needs for a solid image editor. So I signed up for the “Photographer’s Package, ” for about $20/month, which included PS, Lightroom, Bridge, and Portfolio. I barely used any of the other programs except Bridge, which made organizing and accessing images easier and better.

The big problem for me was that I could barely use PS anymore for even the basic processes! The program seemed to have grown exponentially in features, capabilities, and complexity. I put in the time necessary to get back to where I was before I cancelled CC, and can now do the basic things again.

Why is it still so difficult and complex for me to remove a background in PS vs. selecting the image in Canva and pressing the remove background button? The online BG removal services also seemed to have figured out how to code the processes in a way that I’m sure must be highly automated, but gets the job done quickly, inexpensively (or free) and the end result is high-quality—with zero frustration generated within the customer.

I think Adobe is stupid for not making it easier to remove backgrounds in PS. We have proof that they could have done it if they wanted to, because they are promoting how easy, peasy, it is to remove backgrounds in Adobe Express.

I was just starting to learn Adobe Express this week due to a lot of the hoopla and hype I’ve been reading, but I’m not thrilled with it so far. I do my image generation with Midjourney, I noticed a few of the experts I follow in this area are using Kittl and say exactly what you said.

For me, my choice of software is critical, because I want to give myself every advantage skill and efficiency-wise, because the business is hard enough as it is, and I hate making wrong choices at that critical juncture because I hate having to start over with a new program.

I also believe in the principle or strategy of not hopping around like a dumb bunny trying to learn every new program that sounds exciting, but instead, go deep in learning and mastering the program you choose as your main program in the category.

What was super-impressive to me in your video was the amazingly high-quality of the images they allow us to use as templates or starting points. That Highway Club Biker’s Club design was a ten/ 1-10.
