Simple Design Tools Packing a Punch

The image tools and design tools are awesome. The tools work flawlessly and make actions like removing a background simple. When I discovered the Ai integrations, I didn't realize where the industry was with things like image generation and that sparked a whole new rabbit hole to explore.

Great canva alternative !!

I have switched from canva to simplified as they have fresh designs and everyone uses the same Canva designs so this helps to differentiate us from the usual designs seen online.
