The best FREE Content Creator Tools

Are you wanting to start your content creator journey but don't know where to start?! These apps can for-sure give you a little bit of a head start and know where to look and how to create content no matter what your niche is.

I use Canva all the time. If you follow me you know I love Canva, the posts I do in Lemon8 I use Canva every single time. I have a preset of fonts, colors and styles I do for each of my photos on social media so it all flows together! I use the pro version which comes with more features and pictures to use but the free options work just as well!

The next is Capcut, i just recently started using it for video editing my Tik Tok and Reels videos and it is super helpful for animating text, photos and using their font and color options! Social media content creating is all about making a theme and sticking to your niche.

Finally there is Lightroom, I have been using Lightroom even before content creating for my personal Instagram and social media pages, I have never had to pay for it and I think the possibilites are endless! You can save presets so all you have to do is click the one you want and it is instantly filtered to your liking!

Let me know which apps you use down below!
