Absolute Hidden GEM
“If anyone is in the content creation space, looking to bulk create images for Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest then this is a MUST. Canva currently has a bulk create function, but it's limited in comparison. Picnie is well-designed, easy to use, supports bulk image creation and Pabbly integration. Great work guys for making a much needed app that ticks many boxes.”
A very good tool for automation!!!!
“Okay now the team at Picnie has added a template editor this is a game changer for helping to automate social media posts and ads. The support is super responsive and always happy to help. I integrated a template with Albato and OpenAI to automatically build a year's worth of content with minimal effort.”
Good for Automation
“If you use Zapier, Make, Activepieces etc, this app is great to automate social media text, blog post header images and personalized customer images. A few editor issues with text shadows, but otherwise very useful.”
