I use both Canva and Kittl, and I'd say it would be a dark day if I had to choose one or the other. I find them both indispensable now. Canva for the enormous graphics and photo library, their amazing background remover for photos. Kittl for having such inspired templates that I can use as jumping off points, plus some very cool graphics you just don't find elsewhere.
@@CharlesSmith-ck1fd- I often do part of a design in Kittl then finish it in Canva and/or Affinity Designer. And vice versa. Takes a little more time but I can get it just how I want it.
@@GoWestYoungK9how is that done ? I assume it gets uploaded to little but that particular design you’re uploading would be fixed. Not able to be edited ?
@@ginbimbe3150 - If I plan to work between 2 apps, I usually will get part way in one, then download what I have as an SVG or print PDF, then open it up in the second app and pull out the elements and finish it there. So, I might do the text like I want it in Kittl, then download that and put the text into a new file in Affinity, then add in my graphics from Canva or elsewhere. I think it probably sounds more complicated than it is. It would be tricky if you only worked with PNGs. By using SVG files, I can select the exact elements I want in the final version. Not sure I explained that very well. I hope it makes sense.
Great comparison! I would stick to Canva as I find it user friendly compared to Kittl. Plus I use Canva on the mobile alot, where as Kittl doesn't have that option.
im kind of obsesed with kittl being an illustrator user and designer. you said it right Juna how designers jaws drop bc we know how long this stuff takes. My husband makes fun of me bc i am so obsessed with it. thanks for the video i love your channel!
I think you've proven your point and boy I did see a big difference! It's amazing to find out what you can work out! and kittl I did love at first but had trouble with some designing from time to time. Canva no trouble at all! Kittl what gives? I was blind sided by the glitz and glam but at the end of the day Canva has its just rewards. So kittl is great for T-shirts but Canva is awesome for Stationary so I'm a Fashion Designer so I'll choose Canva.
Thanks so much for the review. New subscriber. Awesome resources shared. I use Canva now, but I'm going to use Kittl too because it does more of what I need in other ways, which you made very easy to understand. Thank you!
I love Kittl. I just got a month free with Canva and I don't like their layout, it's a bit much. I'm not sure if I am just used to the functionality of Kittl, which is very well so, but switching to another platform can be simple when one is used to creating designs, not so much with Canva. I also don't like the legality with Canva, despite how so many promote it. Needless to say, they both have their place but my vote despite Kittl being in Beta, goes to Kittl hands down. The quality is better. Canva on the other hand is quantity. Thanks for the comparison, great videos as always !
Great video! Very helpful to help me decide which one to choose. I think it might be a good time to do an updated version of this video, since kittl have released new features and maybe Canva have new features too, not sure.
For Canva, it seems that it's impossible to use the templates for commercial purpose. I wonder about Kittl. 1) Are their licensing/copyright rules about the same? 2) How do POD folks compete with those who print in house in terms of prices?
You can use Canva and Kittl for commercial purposes you just have to follow their rules..... the licensing/copyright are different for each one.... POD folks don't compete on price they compete on originality and quick response to the market
I didn't realize that you could knock out / erase with Kittl's textures! I thought they just laid on top of the design. I played with them for a few minutes just now, and it looks like the texture needs to be in Alpha Mask mode to "erase"? Definitely need to read up on using those.
Great video, Juna! My only issue with Canva is accessing the lower layers of a design. Would be great if they could get that sorted. (Unless there's a feature I'm missing?) 😀
@@jackieraymondbereancopyeditor ah ok. I was thinking that was probably the case after. I was on my phone so couldn’t see the date. Like you I had the same issues. Locking and unlocking element to be able to reach certain layers was a pain! Now it more fluid .
Just subscribed! This was a GREAT breakdown!!! I love both applications - it's hard to choose, but I would pick Canva over Kittle as I'm learning to design and since it has fewer options than Kittl, I'm less overwhelmed. I will definitely be adding kittle for sure as soon as I have a bit of extra $$ - with Shimmy's discount it makes it very affordable!
Hi Guno Thank you for taking the time to explain about these apps. the pricing does matter a lot, I Found that Kittl is a bit expensive if the pro version was like Canva pro I would consider kittl, It worth trying to though.
I go by the adage that sometimes the simpler the better. This is why I am asking between the two, which one of the two has helped the most in selling YOUR t-shirts?
You mentioned this saving time vs. Photoshop. To clarify if we are new at design and getting into POD, we do not need Photoshop for anything? We can use one or more of these apps to get the job done?
Alright, currently using both - mostly Canva - 'til more familiar with Kittl format/offerings, etc. THANKS for your useful/insightful review! 'nuf said, ALOHA 4 now...😉😎
Recently some Canva issues were happening. we can't use canva for Pod designs or fiverr services as updated by other Pod channels .Canva's new rules are skeptical for POD now.
Hi Juna, ty for the great value that u always provide! and i rly like and admire how u respond to every comment, very nice of u and hope it stays that way a couple of questions hope u can help me with, 1. if i use the clip content on kittle, does that mean the texture wont come in the final output? and when would i use that and disable the texture instead of just deleting them? can i change the colors or textures or its transparent so its the t-shirt's color? 2. how can i stay updated with the trends especially if i wanted to know them before they explode and everyone know about them on pod sites? how do i get ahead of the competition in that field? many thanks once again!
I hope I can answer those.... 1. So using Clip Content along with the Alpha Mask will knock out the texture from the design so that you can see the shirt color behind the design. If you just use clip content the texture will usually be added to the design like a darker or lighter color. 2. Finding a trend before everyone else is super tricky.... you almost have to be lucky.... you can pay attention to the news, pop culture, sports, politics and other things and try to come up with something clever.... it doesn't always work..... the reason is that some trends because the masses make it trend and once the masses make it a trend the masses know about it......if you could predict a trend before it happens or could create a trend yourself you would be very rich or probably are already rich.... someone like Mr Beast or Kim Kardashian could start a trend because they have the masses following them already.
Hello friend, I do have a strange question: How do you have no background onto the regular print. I do not want to have a square background . how do I press to erase the background ? I hope you understand!
Both Canva and Kittl have a remove background feature..... On Canva you would check Transparent background before downloading (only works on Pro version).... On Kittl you would turn the Remove Background on before downloading
Just found your channel and have been watching all of your videos, they are great! Easy for me to follow. I am new to all these programs and am really enjoying learning. my question is can you start a project in Kittl then transfer and finish in Canva or another program or the other way around? Thanks so much for the great content. 🙂
Detour Shirts Juna ? I have a youtube video idea for you. What is the theory to matching the text you select with the design or image you choose to use ? Me as a beginner I noticed that some text, don't look right with certain designs or images.
Love your videos as always... very inspiring ! I was wondering if I should switch from Canvas Pro to Kittl Pro (same price so no money brainer !) You just touched upon the Kittl Pro version, saying that the Kittl Expert one give you SO MUCH MORE. I was wondering if the Pro level is so “bare“ that Expert is almost mandatory. Do you have an idea ?
I went straight to Expert and didn't try Pro really.... I just like having more size and access to everything.... If you are concerned about price I would try Pro for a month and see if you really need Expert.
hey thanks for the consistency and direct very understndable advice, ive learned so much thanks qq if i want to use kittl for designing tshirts etc i must get the paid version ?and could you do a video for say if i wanted to create a gangsheet using kittl the steps in making sure the print com can put it on a shirt
There is no iPad version for Kittl yet... as far as a gangsheet I don't do that because all my stuff is for print on demand... I only save transparent PNG and it works for me.
I run a non-profit organization and one huge advantage to Canva is their free non-profit subscription. It is extremely valuable and appreciated. I wrote to Kittl to inquire about a non-profit discount. They replied saying that they do not yet offer one, but it is something they are looking to have in the future. QUESTION: I'm wondering why you did not give Canva a "not yet" under textures.
I did not know about the non-profit discount. That's pretty cool..... I gave Canva a not yet under textures because I believe you can't do texture yet like Kittl does.... unless I am mistaken, please tell me if I am.
@@DetourShirts Actually, I was just asking why you gave Canva a "none" rather than a "not yet" for textures. Just wondered if you didn't expect them to get them in the future for some reason. No worries. It's not that big of a deal. I was just curious. Thanks for the video!
The terms are always changing so I would check their site to be sure but it's always best practice to change things around an make it your own... if someone can use the same designs unmodified like you can, they will... which means there could be multiple designs that look the same on a site which is not a good thing.
I use both! canva pro and kittl pro. Kittl has better fonts in my opinion and graphics that canva don't have. but canva is still a powerful easy tool that I can't seem to find in others.
Thanks for the great comparison. I currently use Canva but am thinking about getting Kittl to design t-shirts. Which platform do you think is better for creating t-shirts in bulk quickly?
Since the free versions of both programs are limited and have their differences, would it be possible to create something in Canva free and then download it as a PNG and take it into the free Kittl to use some of their features that are excluded from Canvas free or vice versa? Plus I might have access to the EDU teacher version of Canva so that might be a factor as far as creation, but I know certain things are limited to what you can do with that versus the regular versions, such as commercial print on demand etc.
I am a prospective student for graphic design, and I am scared to incursion into these programs. I have two questions, For designing large posters, is it Kittl better? If so, Am I going to be able to design my own templates if I need it? Thank you for your help!
Hi juna I am curious about stickers o printables, do you have any video about??? thanks. Note: place it is a good platform too. you can do a video about or show us one. regards from Costa Rica
I use Canva mainly because I've been using them for a long time and I'm familiar with it. Kittl looks great and would like to use them too in the future as well. Either way, using any one of these platforms plus your own creativity will help make great designs for your POD journey. Good luck to everyone out there.
@@DetourShirts aw man, so how do others use characters or people from shows and cartoons to make shirts? Are they manipulating the image or just doing it illegally? Or, is there a way to find images that are not copyrighted?
I am using canva now and I am having trouble uploading my mockups that I purchased from etsy. Well, Canva is failing to upload with ease. I wrote them and basically said to log off and log back in, well I did that and nothing happened and still was not able to upload. then it said well it could have too much uploads on there on canva, so I deleted some of my projects to have it to have more room. Still I was still not able to upload my picture I purchase from etsy. I need someone to assist me because I was in a zone and now i am stuck. Im so unhappy with canva right now. when it's working I am fine with it. but when it's not, there is no live customer service or live chat support where they can actually help me and I am frustrated. Someone please help me.
I would check your size and file type... what are you trying to upload? Is it a PNG, SVG, EPS? How big is it? Is it more than 20MB is it more than 5000px x 5000 px?
I followed your link and am using Pro Kittl, and I really like it. However, I am still going back to Canva for some of the assets I need. I'm sure Kittl will enlarge their collection of assets but for now... Which means I will have to keep Canva if I am using any Premium assest or I will lose the license to use. So, I have until February to decide whether or not to keep Canva. Thank you for all your vids.
I truly appreciate you putting all of this together Juna, you're awesome! Have you tried Creative Fabrica and if so, is it comparable/equal, not as good or better than Kittl? It seems those two they're on the same playing field? Thanks so much! :)
Before I watch the video, here's what I think: Kittl is awesome, as a tool is excellent, far superior to Canva. The library is very small though, it needs time to grow. Canva is huge and older, you can do a lot of stuff there. For POD you have a huge catalog of graphics that you can use and pretty easy to use for basic designs. Another great thing about Canva is that you can use the pro version easily with Trials for 30 days.
Thanks for Making this video Juna, well, You Selling POD Products more using Etsy Ads and Amazon Ads but how do you boost your sales on your shopify website? do you run facebook/instagram Ads to make massive sales? some people said social media marketing is best.. whats your view on this...
I wish I knew..... I would guess email marketing would help but I'm not big into it... honestly my Shopify store isn't doing that great... I still need to learn more on that one
I use Amazon, RedBubble, TeePublic, Cafepress, Zazzle, Design by Humans, Society 6, Threadless, Spreadshirt and TeeSpring.... I only use Amazon Advertising for Amazon.
I'm have question about the legal usage of all the graphics designs available on canva and kittl. As far as i know we can't use it directly on the t-shirt right? Can you provide some information on that?
I'm still new to both of them I have used them for a while, but I give credit to kittl for being able to manipulate text on template I think it will be better if you use both of them.
These two programs need to get married so we can have the best of both worlds! You should do an updated vid for this as they’ve both improved over the last year.
I went with Kittl after doing 30 days pro canvas trial. I like Kittl's text features, grudge textures mask. It would be great if they implement masking feature to remove, blended graphics/layers. I sold many using Kittl's designs and actually has an Etsy's Best Seller on one 😍👍.
@@DetourShirts thank you for doing these awesome videos, they've always inspired us to come up with ideas and learn new things. Appreciate your reply to our comments 😇👍
arkadaşlar İngilizce bilmeyenler için söylüyorum harika bir içerik hazırlanmış. ingilizce bilmeyenler transkripti kopyala yapıştır yaparak Türkçe çevirisini bulabilir. fiyat hariç kittl üstün görünüyor
@@DetourShirts I look forward to it. Your reviews and analysis of these products are really more helpful for newbies than you can understand. There are so many things out there and if I paid for all of them I'd go broke just trying to figure them out.
The biggest issue with Canva is the LACK of clear information about using their graphics for POD.. so BEWARE about using these on shirts or POD Books.. Also Canva has been around for over 6 years and Kittl is brand new. I have been on Canva since 2016 and trust me, up until about 2 years ago, they really did NOT have that much functionality and out of the gate , Kittl has better functionality to format text and images, especially stuff like masks and alpha lock. for me, a Canva user.. I am switching to Kittl at this time. speaking as of April 2023.
I actually prefer vexels over kittl because they have more trending designs and a better search function. For example, Cottagecore is a huge trend right now. I searched in kittl for it with no results coming back . Went to vexels and typed it in and got pages of results back. I feel like you have to do more work with kittl to make a generic design work for your niche. Vexels does a superior job offering designs that are already niche specific while still allowing you to customize the design with their tshirt design software. Some of my best selling tees and mugs are courtesy of vexels.
I think kittl is way better for high quality design but canva have a huge useful library with a lot of differents elements. Their library and template is a huge asset. Plus they have the mobile version. Canva is also way better for POD. I came to realise in POd you also need to promote and you have a lot of that in canva. In all Canva is more complete even in the free version.
I've been using canva for years. I am still not using kittl but just by watching kittl graphics on videos I can see that they are way better than canva. I like very bold, cool, graffiti, 3d or any fonts that just stand out. Every time I found them in Canva they weren't editable. The text was a png with transparent background, what a shame ! But kittl seems to create this kind of graphics with possibility to edit. Most people here seems to agree with me that kittl graphics are better especially for t-shirt. If they think that, so the customer will also think that. Therefore I will switch to kittl. That's the app I was wishing for.
Thanks for sharing...I always say, use the app that will get you the most benefit....not everyone will like the same apps and not everyone needs all the apps.
Thank Juna, you had given a really nice breakup. However, it will be complete once you also highlight the licensing part in details fir both the applications
I tried Kittl and personally I think it sucks as I prefer to create graphic art from scratch anyways...I use Gimp and Inkscape. I prefer Canva of these two
Kittl's free version is great, and I'm satisfied with it, except for the fact that I can't remove the watermark from my design. Canva offers a better solution in this regard, as their exported images don't have any watermarks.
I use both Canva and Kittl, and I'd say it would be a dark day if I had to choose one or the other. I find them both indispensable now. Canva for the enormous graphics and photo library, their amazing background remover for photos. Kittl for having such inspired templates that I can use as jumping off points, plus some very cool graphics you just don't find elsewhere.
Yup... you said it best... they both have some really good features
Is it possible to use both applications on one design? Using different functions only available on one app and then the other? Thanks

You can use Canva and Kittl for commercial purposes you just have to follow their rules..... the licensing/copyright are different for each one.... POD folks don't compete on price they compete on originality and quick response to the market
Can you bring in a design that you did in Canva (transparent) and bring into kittle to do the texture? or add on something else in kittl?
I think you could...I don't see why not....but I've never tried it
I didn't realize that you could knock out / erase with Kittl's textures! I thought they just laid on top of the design. I played with them for a few minutes just now, and it looks like the texture needs to be in Alpha Mask mode to "erase"? Definitely need to read up on using those.
Yes... the alpha mask knocks it out but if you just want the texture in black then you don't have to use the alpha mask
Thank you so much! This was very helpful in determining which one to use.
Glad it was helpful!
on either, I can't just click and place on Tshirts and then sell, can I? Don't I need to add to , etc to "make it original" before I can legally sell?
Yes... you will need to use multiple graphics/text to create a new design then you can legally use it for t-shirts.
Great video, Juna! My only issue with Canva is accessing the lower layers of a design. Would be great if they could get that sorted. (Unless there's a feature I'm missing?) 😀

The terms are always changing so I would check their site to be sure but it's always best practice to change things around an make it your own... if someone can use the same designs unmodified like you can, they will... which means there could be multiple designs that look the same on a site which is not a good thing.
@@DetourShirts ok thank you. You are so knowledgeable, I was hoping you had the answer already. Research time for me. 😬😬
I use both! canva pro and kittl pro. Kittl has better fonts in my opinion and graphics that canva don't have. but canva is still a powerful easy tool that I can't seem to find in others.
Very cool... I use both too
Thanks for the great comparison. I currently use Canva but am thinking about getting Kittl to design t-shirts. Which platform do you think is better for creating t-shirts in bulk quickly?
Kittl is probably faster for that
Since the free versions of both programs are limited and have their differences, would it be possible to create something in Canva free and then download it as a PNG and take it into the free Kittl to use some of their features that are excluded from Canvas free or vice versa? Plus I might have access to the EDU teacher version of Canva so that might be a factor as far as creation, but I know certain things are limited to what you can do with that versus the regular versions, such as commercial print on demand etc.
You could but FREE Kitll only saves your designs very small so it's not good for POD
@@DetourShirts that’s what I figured. Would I download them as PNG or SVG before going back-and-forth?
I am a prospective student for graphic design, and I am scared to incursion into these programs. I have two questions,
For designing large posters, is it Kittl better? If so,
Am I going to be able to design my own templates if I need it?
Thank you for your help!
It depends if you like the style of Kittl. I think they are pretty good and I like the styles of the templates so I would choose Kittl.
Hi juna I am curious about stickers o printables, do you have any video about??? thanks. Note: place it is a good platform too. you can do a video about or show us one. regards from Costa Rica
Yes I do! I have this sticker video...ruclips.net/video/5SECI3VYLN4/видео.html
Very helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I use Canva mainly because I've been using them for a long time and I'm familiar with it. Kittl looks great and would like to use them too in the future as well. Either way, using any one of these platforms plus your own creativity will help make great designs for your POD journey. Good luck to everyone out there.
Thanks for sharing! There are no bad choices here
Thanks and same to you. For me, I'm going for illustrator and PhotoShop. I know it's gonna take forever to learn, but imma give it a try.
Can you drag and drop google images in both to use on t-shirts?
No... you should not use google images
@@DetourShirts aw man, so how do others use characters or people from shows and cartoons to make shirts? Are they manipulating the image or just doing it illegally? Or, is there a way to find images that are not copyrighted?
I am using canva now and I am having trouble uploading my mockups that I purchased from etsy. Well, Canva is failing to upload with ease. I wrote them and basically said to log off and log back in, well I did that and nothing happened and still was not able to upload. then it said well it could have too much uploads on there on canva, so I deleted some of my projects to have it to have more room. Still I was still not able to upload my picture I purchase from etsy. I need someone to assist me because I was in a zone and now i am stuck. Im so unhappy with canva right now. when it's working I am fine with it. but when it's not, there is no live customer service or live chat support where they can actually help me and I am frustrated. Someone please help me.
I would check your size and file type... what are you trying to upload? Is it a PNG, SVG, EPS? How big is it? Is it more than 20MB is it more than 5000px x 5000 px?
I followed your link and am using Pro Kittl, and I really like it. However, I am still going back to Canva for some of the assets I need. I'm sure Kittl will enlarge their collection of assets but for now... Which means I will have to keep Canva if I am using any Premium assest or I will lose the license to use. So, I have until February to decide whether or not to keep Canva. Thank you for all your vids.
Thanks for your comment.... yeah, I have both too
Brilliant video. Thanks
Thank you
thanks for this video!
You are very welcome
Thank you....really helpful for newbies like me😂👍🏻
You’re welcome 😊
Sir I have a problem I have a cell phone kittle design don't open a Mobile what should I do for it?
Don't use Kittl on your phone... it only works on a laptop or desktop
@@DetourShirts could I used only Canva?
Yes... you can use Canva on mobile devices... download the app
Great info!! Using both. Sometimes using Kittl, it does not want to change to the px size. Have you experienced that problem? Thanks!🙏
Yeah... sometimes I have to do it a couple times
I truly appreciate you putting all of this together Juna, you're awesome! Have you tried Creative Fabrica and if so, is it comparable/equal, not as good or better than Kittl? It seems those two they're on the same playing field? Thanks so much! :)
Yes I have... It's a different kind of tool.... Creative Fabrica has graphic and fonts and stuff but you will still need an app to put it all together
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'm very grateful Juna!@@DetourShirts
Before I watch the video, here's what I think:
Kittl is awesome, as a tool is excellent, far superior to Canva. The library is very small though, it needs time to grow.
Canva is huge and older, you can do a lot of stuff there. For POD you have a huge catalog of graphics that you can use and pretty easy to use for basic designs. Another great thing about Canva is that you can use the pro version easily with Trials for 30 days.
Thanks for sharing! I did mention those things too
Thanks for Making this video Juna, well, You Selling POD Products more using Etsy Ads and Amazon Ads but how do you boost your sales on your shopify website? do you run facebook/instagram Ads to make massive sales? some people said social media marketing is best.. whats your view on this...
I wish I knew..... I would guess email marketing would help but I'm not big into it... honestly my Shopify store isn't doing that great... I still need to learn more on that one
From what I see you can do so much more with Canva. Kittl looks like it's just for T-shirts. I am a photographer and marketing and I love Canva.
Yup... they both can do a lot now
Detour Shirts Juna ? I need your help I applied for a red bubble account and they suspended me for nothing. I never had a chance to put any designs.
Sorry.... not sure what's going on there
@@DetourShirts Juna ? what are all the pods you use ? and which ones advertise for you ?
I use Amazon, RedBubble, TeePublic, Cafepress, Zazzle, Design by Humans, Society 6, Threadless, Spreadshirt and TeeSpring.... I only use Amazon Advertising for Amazon.
I am a graphics professional and have access to the full Adobe suit. Do you think I still need Kittl or Canva?
It depends what you want.... both Canva and Kittl have things Adobe doesn't
I'm have question about the legal usage of all the graphics designs available on canva and kittl. As far as i know we can't use it directly on the t-shirt right? Can you provide some information on that?
You can't just use the graphic but if you mix it with words and/or other graphics it will be okay
@@DetourShirts Thank you for the information!!
Hey, juna are you still using affinity designer, or did you upgrade to V2?
Just upgraded last week... still need to do some videos for it
I'm still new to both of them I have used them for a while, but I give credit to kittl for being able to manipulate text on template I think it will be better if you use both of them.
Yeah... their text effects are pretty awesome
Thanks a lot, very useful
Glad it was helpful!
great video mate, but can you design from scratch on kittl ?
Yes you can!
if I had the $ i would go with both but I'm goanna have to go with kittl because I'm not a graphic designer an I'm doing T-shirts
Great choice. I hope it works out for you
Do you have a Kittle code link for a discount? Thank you in advance.
I have this Kittl Affiliate link... I believe it's also a discount...Kittl Affiliate Link: kittl.pxf.io/YgPoAe
The best ❤️❤️
Thank you
These two programs need to get married so we can have the best of both worlds! You should do an updated vid for this as they’ve both improved over the last year.
True... they both keep getting better
I went with Kittl after doing 30 days pro canvas trial. I like Kittl's text features, grudge textures mask. It would be great if they implement masking feature to remove, blended graphics/layers.
I sold many using Kittl's designs and actually has an Etsy's Best Seller on one 😍👍.
Wow! Looks like Kittl is working out for you... thanks for sharing
@@DetourShirts thank you for doing these awesome videos, they've always inspired us to come up with ideas and learn new things. Appreciate your reply to our comments 😇👍
@@misathoudsanikone7823 thanks for ur comment Im locking for the one I can susbcribe
I would like to see in Canva would be more text effects and less fonts with the ability of being able to add more fonts
Yeah... good call
Good info.
Thank you
The pro on kittl now has all premium templates which makes it much more affordable now.
Cool... thanks for sharing
arkadaşlar İngilizce bilmeyenler için söylüyorum harika bir içerik hazırlanmış. ingilizce bilmeyenler transkripti kopyala yapıştır yaparak Türkçe çevirisini bulabilir. fiyat hariç kittl üstün görünüyor
Thanks?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
thanks alot for the video you the man
Glad to help
Now a comparison of those vs Placeit
I'll have to do another video.... thanks for the idea
@@DetourShirts I look forward to it. Your reviews and analysis of these products are really more helpful for newbies than you can understand. There are so many things out there and if I paid for all of them I'd go broke just trying to figure them out.
Are they both better than vexels??
It depends what you want. I could do a. Vexels vs Kittl or Vexels or Canva.
I use both. Wish i could get a discount for that, but as they are competitors no such luck :)
True. Discounts would be awesome
The biggest issue with Canva is the LACK of clear information about using their graphics for POD.. so BEWARE about using these on shirts or POD Books..
Also Canva has been around for over 6 years and Kittl is brand new. I have been on Canva since 2016 and trust me, up until about 2 years ago, they really did NOT have that much functionality and out of the gate , Kittl has better functionality to format text and images, especially stuff like masks and alpha lock. for me, a Canva user.. I am switching to Kittl at this time. speaking as of April 2023.
Thanks for your thoughts.... great points.
@@DetourShirts thanks a lot, i need this kind of comment to make my decision
I actually prefer vexels over kittl because they have more trending designs and a better search function. For example, Cottagecore is a huge trend right now. I searched in kittl for it with no results coming back . Went to vexels and typed it in and got pages of results back. I feel like you have to do more work with kittl to make a generic design work for your niche. Vexels does a superior job offering designs that are already niche specific while still allowing you to customize the design with their tshirt design software. Some of my best selling tees and mugs are courtesy of vexels.
Can I ask where you find your trending information from?
You make a good point... I didn't even talk about finding trends and neither Canva nor Kittl does that
I think kittl is way better for high quality design but canva have a huge useful library with a lot of differents elements. Their library and template is a huge asset. Plus they have the mobile version. Canva is also way better for POD. I came to realise in POd you also need to promote and you have a lot of that in canva. In all Canva is more complete even in the free version.
Thanks for you thoughts.... you made some great points
I've been using canva for years. I am still not using kittl but just by watching kittl graphics on videos I can see that they are way better than canva. I like very bold, cool, graffiti, 3d or any fonts that just stand out. Every time I found them in Canva they weren't editable. The text was a png with transparent background, what a shame ! But kittl seems to create this kind of graphics with possibility to edit. Most people here seems to agree with me that kittl graphics are better especially for t-shirt. If they think that, so the customer will also think that. Therefore I will switch to kittl. That's the app I was wishing for.
Great reasoning... thanks for sharing
Both
Using Canva free until I can get kittl then I’m saving up to go pro on my Canva 😊
Great plan
I prefer gimp si caanva is a nightmare to work with. Kttl u managed to operate but needed to do final edits in gimp to get em as i wanted
Thank you for your comment... glad you found something that works for you
Definitely Kittl, have sold quite a few products based on their designs.
That's great to hear... Premium graphics help I'm sure...keep it up
You can sell Kittl Graphics?
I think u can upload your favorite fonts into kittl right?
Yes you can
i am having hard time with kittl. i like canva better
Thanks for sharing...I always say, use the app that will get you the most benefit....not everyone will like the same apps and not everyone needs all the apps.
Both
Good idea
Thank Juna, you had given a really nice breakup. However, it will be complete once you also highlight the licensing part in details fir both the applications
True.... I should have covered that.... I should make another video about licensing... good call
I tried Kittl and personally I think it sucks as I prefer to create graphic art from scratch anyways...I use Gimp and Inkscape. I prefer Canva of these two
Thanks for voting... everyone one is different and it's great to hear from all sides
Canva for the win for ME. Very user friendly
Glad it works for you... thanks for sharing
شكرا جزيلا
Thanks
canva for me is the best for a lot reasons
Thanks for sharing
OK Can I Juat Say You Freakin' Rock thank you thank you thank you you have helped me so much on Kittl
Oh good... glad I could help
Kittl's free version is great, and I'm satisfied with it, except for the fact that I can't remove the watermark from my design. Canva offers a better solution in this regard, as their exported images don't have any watermarks.
Yes... FREE vs FREE I think Canva is better
@@DetourShirts Everyone have their own opinion I use both Kittl and Canva plus Adobe Express I use this three websites but I use more Kittl.
@@DetourShirts Everyone have their own opinion I use both Kittl and Canva plus Adobe Express but I use more Kittl.
I find Kittl’s elements to be sadly lacking compared to Canva. Constantly having to go to Canva to get graphics.
It should get better over time.... Canva just has sooooo much graphics, it really is impressive
Canva no genera vectores
Niether do
@ ¿Cual lo hace?
i tried both pro versions. Kittl has better graphics, canva has better functionality
Thanks for sharing that.
