CANVA] is a useful image editing tool for creating images to put in your blog or for Insta-posting.
It is very easy to use and I have paid for it, but I am a little dissatisfied.
That is the lack of Japanese material photos.
For example, if you search for [woman] in photo materials, you will find mostly foreign women.
It would be nice if the atmosphere of the site or Instagram account matched the foreign photos, but personally, there were many situations where I wanted to use Japanese photo materials.
At that time, I found an image editing tool called 【designAC】.
Compared to CANVA, it has more photo materials for Japanese people.
If you are thinking, “I want to use Japanese photos for my site’s atmosphere! If you want to create a page with a slightly different atmosphere from your competitors’ sites, we recommend designAC.
15,411 yen (16,952 yen including tax) per year for Premium Membership
This is 3,000 yen more per year than CANVA, but is by far the best value when other benefits are included.
Free membership is also available, so those who are interested can try out the usability.
What are the features of designAC?
Basically the same functionality as CANVA
- Charting
- Template Use
- Transparent Images
- Crop Tool
On top of that, here are some of the areas in which designAC excels.
A wide variety of Japanese photo materials
Since CANVA is an international tool, it inevitably contains a lot of photographic material of Westerners.
If you want to create a site or post with a cool atmosphere, you can use CANVA photos, but if you want to create a site with a tight atmosphere, it is better to use Japanese photos.
If you look up “suit” on designAC, you will find many photos of Japanese women in business settings.
There are quite a few individual sites using CANVA, but not many using designAC.
If you want to differentiate yourself from other sites or create a corporate website where trust is important, we recommend using Japanese photo materials.
There are some restrictions on use, but you can use the editor even if you are a free member.
If you would like to try it out for now, just register.
Some photos of Japanese events.
There are not only many photos of Japanese faces in designAC.
Photos of uniquely Japanese events such as “Shichi-Go-San”, “Hina-Matsuri”, and “Setsubun” are not available in CANVA.
For example, if you look up “Children’s Day” on CANAV, you will not find any pictures of carp streamers.
DesignAC has photos of unique Japanese events.
Functions other than image editing tools
As a paid member of designAC, you can use many more features than just the image editing tools.
photoAC
The photographic material has already been approved by the photographed model, so it can be processed and used for commercial purposes.
There are photos of animals, food, and babies as well as business-related photos.
Many of the models are Japanese, which gives the site a slightly different feel from typical blogs.
There are many photos that are not in CANVA, so if you are interested, please see 【写真AC】.
