The tool box in my shed might be the worst you’ve ever seen (some tiny screwdrivers that came out of a Christmas cracker and a knife and fork) but online there are loads of tools that I love and use often.
Here are some of them:
- Zamzar – for file conversion:
- Audio
- Video
- Text
- Image
- Canva – brilliant for creating graphics for:
- Blogs
- Websites
- Social media
- Flyers
- Letterheads
- Presentations
- Posters
- Menus
- Business cards
- Loads more
- Pixabay – my go-to site when I need decent, free (and copyright-free) stock images for something I’m writing or an Instagram post. If I can’t find anything there, I go to Pexels. I often find an image I like and upload it to Canva to create a graphic I can use.
- Instant Eyedropper – if I want to create a graphic with the same colour background as a client’s blog, I need to know the exact colour of that blog, and Instant Eyedropper is the tool I use.
- Picresize.com – I use this when I’ve taken a photo with my phone and want to use it online somewhere but the image is too big (and therefore takes ages to load, if at all).
Dropbox, Mediafire and Amazon S3 – for additional cloud storage.
