I’m always on a hunt for new applications to help me with my various design projects both for me and my clients.
And I use a plethora of them in combination.
Recently, I discovered DesignCap, and it looks like a very professional tool that helps designers and people with no experience at all to create quality graphic designs on the go.
Plus, we teamed up with the brand to offer you an amazing giveaway.
So, let’s see what this app is all about:

Creating an Account
The signup process is fast and all you have to do is verify your email address to start using the app.
Creating Artwork
Infographic #1
There are 232 infographic templates, an impressive number. I chose the food recipe and I am ready to customize the graphic.
When I click on the graphic a predefined square opens its settings. You can change the color, you can flip the elements horizontally or vertically, change its opacity. You can also align it to the page, choose a layer, duplicate the element, or delete it.
On the bottom right corner, there is information about the graphic: its dimensions and the zoom settings.
On the top header bar, you can undo or redo actions, choose between the templates, save the project, download it, or share it.
The left sidebar contains elements, photos, charts, an upload button, text settings, modules, and backgrounds.
Everything is very well organized.
Customizing
I changed the colors of the graphic using the color palette of my website.

The free account is not eligible for downloading or sharing the infographic. But my plus account is eligible for downloading the infographic in these formats: jpg, png, pdf. I choose jpg.

Functionality-Features-Overall Experience
Here are the most important things to consider before using the DesignCap application.
The high-quality ready-made templates will satisfy even the most demanding designer. There are modern and classical designs to help you choose easily the style you want.
There are plenty of elements to create custom designs on your own:
- Lines, basic shapes, frame masks, arrows, badges, speech bubbles, hand drawings, miscellaneous, modern decoration shapes, vintage decoration shapes, abstract shapes
- Charts: lines, tables & maps, columns, bars, pies, areas
- Modules: social icons, icons & text, images & text, options, steps, timelines, diagrams, comparisons, statistics, SWOT’s.
- Backgrounds
- Countless text ready-made designs
You can upload your own images and other design elements to the canvas.
You can upload your own fonts (how cool is that).
There are millions of free stock photos you can choose from. These are high-quality photos, again.
You can work on an empty canvas to create custom designs with ease.
When you upload an image on an empty canvas you can immediately fix its size with ease.
The application works like a mini Photoshop or Illustrator. There are layers and you can move elements backward and forward.
The application works as a photo effect app as well.
You can add effects to the images (coloring).
There are photo filters (opacity, exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, hue).
You can crop them, rotate them, and flip them (horizontally and vertically).
You can align elements to the page, use the layers functionality, duplicate, and delete them.
You can add pages to a canvas, copy a page, and delete it.
I believe all the important elements are present. Let me know which feature you’d like to see in a future version of DesignCap.

Final Review & A Surprise
I wholeheartedly recommend DesignCap for anyone. bloggers, marketers, entrepreneurs, authors, and even designers that want to create a design on the fly without having to compromise the quality of their work.
I can create banners and media for emails, social channels, advertisements, and websites fast and easy.
There’s nothing missing. Thousands of templates, millions of photos, icons, fonts, text shapes, various design elements.
The app is fast and there are no loading times, and my internet speed is not the fastest in the world.
The app has enough features to satisfy everyone.
Plenty of settings, photo effects, layers, what else would you need?
The membership options are affordable for the majority of people. It’s worth the price.
It’s an application you should at least try. Don’t worry, with the free account you’ll be able to perform your tests and see if this app is for you.
The Surprise
We’ve teamed up with DesignCap to offer you 3 premium accounts for free. Yes, and there’s no catch at all.
We will reward the first 3 people that will leave a comment on this page after they used the app with a free account and they believe they need the premium version.
That’s all. You just create a free account, use the app for a while so that you know you really need the premium account, and leave a comment on this page using the same email address you used to sign up for DesignCap.
We do that because we want to give the premium account to those who really need it.
Then, we will contact the DesignCap team so they can upgrade your accounts on the spot manually.
