One of the best tools I have found in 2014 is Canva.com. Canva is a free online graphic editing tool where you can create images for social media, blog posts, presentations, Kindle eBooks, and more.
You can use your own pictures or their backgrounds for free or pay $1 to use their premium images.
One of my favorite features within Canva is their pre-designed templates you can use to start a project. Instead of looking at a blank screen, you can simply edit their fonts, colors, and images to make it your own quickly and easily.

Places to Find Royalty-Free Images
Always makes sure to read the terms of use for the images you download and use.
Free
- One of our favorite places to find free royalty-free images is http://www.freeimages.com/.
- Another great resource for free images is http://www.pixabay.com.
Paid
- Deposit Photos – Royalty free photos you can download and pay as you go. This is a great option if you don’t need many photos at first. Sometimes AppSumo will run a deal for this site.
