Creatopy Reviews

Bannersnack is really an awesome platform that allows you to design beautiful animated designs in minutes. You can start designing from beginning or even you can select a layout from the gallery. Then you can add background, even you can animate your shapes and text.

The interface of Bannersnack is really easy to understand and use, even all tool, features and options are outstanding. I never faced any issues or cons in this platform, for me this is best.

Super easy system to learn and use. Our team need a solution to quickly build motion graphics for social media, and this is an excellent platform for that. We are also able to easily share templates across our team and use brand colors/fonts.

Bannersnack has some pre-loaded "actions" that you can add to text/photo to create motion. There's only a few that we like to use (some are just too over the top). Would be nice for bannersnack to add some more options.

The Banner Generator! I work in online advertising and this tool has been very helpful in getting a number of ads made in all sizes for the networks we use quickly and efficiently. We used to rely on designers doing a bunch of work by hand and have to wait days or even weeks for mediocre results. Now I can make the ads myself in less than a day and the animation has made our clients much more appreciative. We can dial in the layouts we like the most, then it's a simple matter to duplicate banner sets and make revisions to get unique banners for each client. Bannersnack has saved us a ton of time and gave our service a fresh new look.

Though we use HTML5 for the actual advertising, I like that I can send GIFs as example files to my clients. I'm excited to see what the Branded share links look like, since right now we're sending GIFs as previews. I'd love to see a bulk download feature for GIFs, but I can understand why this might be a bit daunting in terms of resource usage.

Though the process of creating images using the generator is getting better, there are still a few bugs that need sorting. There are definitely some quirks and the occasional service outage where a banner set might take a long time to save or you can't export for a bit, but this is definitely the exception and not the rule. I can only recall one particularly bad day where the service wasn't working for a few hours, but I didn't end up losing any work, just time.

Sometimes text elements don't get updated when you copy banner sets. The workaround is you have to remove the image from the set, then add it back in to get it to update correctly. Sometimes drop shadows look incongruous across all image sizes and you need to update the global values if you've been resizing or moving elements within individual ads. I've gotten used to these slight irritations and I'm sure they'll be fixed over time, but I'm happy overall with what I can achieve with the service.

I'd love more options to change the text, like a stroke which helps text stand out against wider ranges of colors for background images. The 'Hit' animation template is a bit buggy and doesn't always play nice when you have a lot of elements, so I typically just opt for a different template that's more consistent. I'd love to see more templates, both for layout and animation.

There was a recent rate hike for adding multiple users which our team will be needing soon, which is a bummer, but comes with the territory I reckon.

There's the obvious - the robust and super intuitive UI for creating designs... I would also say the overall layout and organizational structure of Bannersnack is great. It's easy to upload assets, and to keep track of hundreds, and even thousands of designs.

I wish they had more sizes available with templates, but I had to struggle to think of a 'con' for Bannersnack.

Allows you to be creative as you want! Unlimited possibilities, easy to use, amazing customer support, a must-have for anyone in marketing or web design. I use Bannersnack for many things: ads (obviously), editing images, reformatting photos, simple logo design, the list goes on. It’s just a great and simple tool to have.

A little pricey, but you get what you pay for! I’ve experienced a few glitches, but I will not complain because I haven’t tried it on other browsers.

Its easy to use, we are a startup and funds are limited, we could have hired some professional to help design ADs but in a way, we found the right partner and we have been able to progressively grow our small business on budget

The templates are still very limited, this is one area of enrichment needed, It also be nice to have previews in form of laptop, tablets and mobile phones

For the most part once you figure it out it's easy to use.

I wish there was help videos to walk me through when I started.

The template creation, I think is one of the most easy digital platforms

Probably the few templates avalible, they are limited and sometimes with a lack of imagination

I liked Bannersnack in that they made it easy to create and manage my banner campaigns. They offer a free trial and visitor tracking statistics so you can measure and see how effective your campaign is.

The speed of loading up the banners was really slow, and even in the best of times, not as fast as I would like. It literally took like 10+ seconds to load a banner. This slow loading often meant that visitors did not even get to see the banner before clicking or scrolling away. Also, banner blindness was very common, and very few people actually noticed or bothered about the banners.

I love the way that we can colab with our team members. The software has lots of premade templates that help to jumpstart the design process.

Honestly, nothing as of yet. We've been using it for a good bit of time already.

The software offers many great features. However, the fact that you can create banner sets (multiple banner ad size) with one click is by far one of the great features.

Editing of individual creative(s) after you have made a banner set is frustrating.

Bannersnack makes it's very easy to make nice looking ads, the templates were the best feature.

The main thing I didn't like about this software was the price and that I wish there were some more layouts and design templates.

Very easy to create animated banners for GDN. Final results looks good and there is a lot of customization available.
We sometimes even create .mp4 story ads and animated FB ads here as well, if it's something simple.
Overall has everything we need at our agency. Highly recommended.

Still missing some small features to make it easier to get projects done. Mostly being able to make bulk changes and create a/b tests.
Also need to download and render all animated banners one by one.

It's easy to navigate. I like that it is very well created to the point where it's not a confusing site. I can easily find what i'm looking for, I can organize my content by folder and easily transfer things. I can grab the link and send to others.

The low amounts of templates. There aren't as many as i'd like. There are very few and when there are new it's only 1 template added for holidays and such.

I've had to create hundreds of banners for single clients and this software speeds up that process immensely for me. Especially when the banners are animated and when there are many different sizes.

I occasionally have difficulty sharing banners with clients for review.

I like the animated templates a lot and that it's cost-effective. It's really easy to use and I like that you can go into other users' folders.

Not being able to hide layers and that sometimes there's a lag between changes and the preview link banners. I also don't really like that when you add images you can see overhang. I'd like the option to have it just show in the banner space.

Ease of use and updates and storage of banners for customers

Would like to be able to change type size to different sizes within the same cell

Bannersnack is an easy-to-use, proven tool that simplifies display banner advertising for companies of all sizes! The software integrates with many platforms and therefore allows users to build and launch ads all in one spot.

The only issue I've had with Bannersnack is the size of the ads. Sometimes, they are too large to use on certain display sites, which can slow down speed to market and is frustrating.

Ease of use, lots of export options, font upload, images upload, use of stock database, working on couple of banners in the same time.

Not able to scroll through timeline while animating banner. Also, all the layers are visible all the time even though they shouldn't be visible. It makes a lot of clutter while arranging layers.

There are so many great things about this platform, it's hard to pick what I like the most! The rich feature set, the number of options to customize and format the finalized product, the overall intuitiveness of the user experience. It's just good stuff.

One thing that stands out to me is the absence of bulk edit options. It would be nice to be able to do things like bulk edit a landing page URL or opt in and out of click tags.

Easy to use, self teaching . It was my first time making animated banners

I have no complaints, I never used anything like this, and it was very user friendly

I like how it enables me to create multiple banners in different sizes. As a digital advertiser, this feature helps me get the job done faster!

I've been using their templates, it gives me new ideas on how to create my banners. Not seeing any templates lately. Hope they create more

I really like that its pretty simple to use and has some really great features.

I wish that the timeline was more like an actual timeline where instead of having to guess where things should end you could just pause in the middle of an animation and line the rest of the timings. I also wish that when you did a banner set that you could 1. Zoom in to individual ads you were working on (because ad sizes like 320x50 are very hard to work on when you can't fully see the ad). 2. That when you did a group of ads you could better customize the animations instead of ham fisting and applying a blanket animation to all of them.

The very intuitive tool, it took just about an hour to get used to it (compare to other tools I tried). Has all the necessary options to create html5 banners fast.

You can not select multiple layers and choose transitions for all of them at once. E.g. you have several objects that have the same animation and timing and to set up transitions you have to click each layer and pick "in" and "out" transitions rather than just select all of them and do it once.

Bannersnack makes creating full matching banner sets so easy. They have a lot of nice
Templates to start from and a great selection of images to be used.

I’ve tried others but I always end up using Bannersnack when I need to make great banners quickly and easily.

Not much. I actually really like almost everything.
