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.
Hello Yaniv, We'd like to take a moment of our time to thank you for your amazing and positive review! Indeed we have to agree with you on this one. Creating and designing banners using Bannersnack for display markets and social media is an easy job with the help of our design features and we're happy to see that our users are making the most of it. As you've said there is room for improvement regarding bulk edits and downloads but fear not, as we are aware of these demands and working on improving the aspects with each new update that we will be putting out in the future, so stay tuned!

i think the biggest benefit is the ease of use and how quickly we can turn beautiful ads. We have been using bannersnack for about 2 years now and i honestly have zero complaints to date. its been super hepful to my agency.
I think the ease of use must be pointed out. You don't have to be a graphic artist to make beautiful ads that can help your campaigns convert.

Fast productions of moving banners.
Fast and easy way of creating templated products. It's also easy to export and download the created material. I have also a very good experience of the support service.
If you have worked with Adobe's products you really miss a lot of features. For example I would like better tolls when editing moving banners. The only tool you have to work with is in and out of a transition. I would need regular keyframes.
Hello there, Thank you for your time reviewing Bannersnack. We are always working on adding additional features and our clients' input is extremely valuable to us as it helps us make Bannersnack the best platform it can be. We are actively working on implementing new features to our platform and we will make sure to keep your suggestions in mind going forward. Thank you.

I use this daily to make quick Facebook post images, and web banners for our customers. I even choose it over Photoshop...probably 9 out of 10 times.
SO easy to drag and drop images, texts and backgrounds and to animate. I use it every day!
I wish it was easier to delete images from "my images." Other than that, I like it all!

AMAZING. Really life-changing stuff
1. Ease of use - It's practically self-explanatory. 2. You can make 20 banners in different sizes with a few clicks, including animation! 3. Full of features, including Google Ads file sizes, mp4, PNG and HTML5 exporting. Love this!
I really didn't see any cons from my 2 years' use. This is a great product

Its a great platfrom to use when creating banners for marketing,the quality and the features are impecabble.i Can also use the previous designs ive used without the need to create new designs.its very straight forward and saves me a lot of time creating banner ads.
Over the years of using this platform i have not encountered any significant flaws that i would worry,there are some bugs here and there but that doesnt really bother me.

Easy to use and you can finish your banners in few clicks. No additional knowledge or experience needed to learn to use this program.
Lack of fonts is something that should be improved and prices are a bit bigger than in the beginning.

I use Bannersnack to design a banner for my personal blog and its so easy to add to my blog, just copy the html code and then pasted in the widget in the blogger.
Bannersnack provide an easy way to make banner that I use for ads promotion in my personal blog. It's so easy to costumize the banner with in just button click. Banner snack also provie many variaton for button, images, animations, and texts so my banner can be look like the way I want it.
It's an online service, it would be nice if it has offline software so we can easily adjust our banner witout internet connection needed.
You¿re the best, Arwildo! Thank you for sharing such a positive review about Bannersnack! It means a lot for us.

It's very intuitive. Our entire team uses it, from our graphic designer to our coordinators because it doesn't take a ton of skill to get what you need out of it. The animation process is really easy and the image overlay and elements can almost always do what you need them to for static images/animation of graphics.
It doesn't support video, which isn't a big deal, but it would come in handy.
Dear Stephen, thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you and your entire team love your experience on our platform. We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. Thanks again!

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.

Support is good. As always, the user documantation lacks mentioning a lot of its user features but after some time playing with it, you soon discover these. Not sure why these companies only let their developers write the documentation without asking users to point out user features and functionality that's important, as developers overlook documenting these. Should be a joint thing.
Very easy to use straight away if you have used similar animation. The animation user engine is identical to Prezi (cloud-based PowerPoint clone) app.
Discovered a disappointing bug in a layer transition, that turns out the developers have known about for some time. Support said they have no plans to fix it in the short term. When using the slide-in animation in a layered scene, the image can have its advanced Alpha function turned on to 100%. This allows the image to be 100% visual at the start of the layers animation. This isn't required if...
Hello Phil, Thank you for your feedback! Indeed while developing an app some bugs can occur and for sure they need to be fixed. However, while some of them must be prioritized, others are taken care of later on in the development process. We do apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused, but we can assure you that the issue you were facing is addressed! In another train of thoughts,...

It's sped up a lot of processes and every time we've had an issue, their online chat system has been very helpful.
The interface for building banners and banner sets is extremely easy to use, easy to organize between coworkers and speeds up the process for simple display ads and animated social media posts. The animations they've added in the past couple of months makes it a great alternative to those unfamiliar with the complexity of After Effects but still interested in animated their content.
Every once in a while, the site goes down. I have experienced a problem in the past where I would be editing a banner and my screen would go blank. All I could do was refresh and lose whatever changes I had just made. I've also experienced bugs with their exporting options, sometimes you need to export each banner in a set individually because the .zip folder download would fail
Hello Celena, We'd like to thank you for taking the time to post such a positive review! It means a great deal to us to see that our users are enjoying and making the most out of what Bannersnack has to offer! We do however, apologize for the technical difficulties. We have been aware of some lately, but we have addressed most of the accordingly and everything should be functioning as intended. If however, the app still crashes for you, please do not hesitate to get in touch with out Support Staff and most surely they will do everything in their power to assure a smooth experience and deal with the matter that you might be facing.

Interface is intimidating at first, but once you use it, it's quite easy... Good Templates for various banner styles...The graphics you create with this software is easily editable, and the software is smooth and not clunky with the tools and interface... Great customer support, problems with the software and it's functionality are solved by the support team on the site. A good way to make banners and posters for your sites and graphics.
I can't really think of any CONS, except the Bannersnack software should have better advertising so that more people would be aware of the design potential for this software.
Hello Sonu, Thank you for the constructive feedback! Indeed the free version comes with its limitations, and we do understand it is not always pleasant. Currently, that can be used so new users can test some of our premium features before purchasing them - but we do appreciate the positive feedback on our features all in all. We are always looking to improve our customer's experience, and we will take into consideration your suggestion for future updates. If you ever run into trouble, feel free to contact the Customer Support Team as they will be more than happy to assist you anytime!

Fantastic, I've used it within multiple roles and companies - every time if saves time and money.
The bulk banner design set feature has been a god send and saves so much time. Plus there's such a great selection of design templates to choose from.
The only criticisms I have is that the banners appear to loose a little quality once downloaded compared to the design version.

9/10 would recommend. Much more reliable than adobe software, quicker, easier, more intuitive, and gets the job down 9 times out of 10.
My team uses this for social media marketing services. We run multi-channel strategy, so BannerSnack is a key element in allowing us to quickly create and update posts across a variety of content sizes.
The major quip I have about bannersnack is a feature that I feel is missing from the platform. This comes from my experience working with Canva, they have a bunch of great little icons and snippets of visual assets that help piece together social media. I wish Bannersnack had this, a library where I could pull vectors or creative assets (stock) easily

I'm very pleased with the product. I'm able to make very polished graphics without much fuss.
I like the flexibility of this product - the ability to make multiple individual assets, or complete sets; the ability to animate and choose from a number of templates.
I would love to have better control over fonts. There are moments where certain fonts are available, then when I attempt to make subtitles, those fonts aren't available. Perhaps it could be made more clear, which fonts are available for which template.
Hello Liz, We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review for our platform. Feedback is important for our team as this helps us learn where improvements are needed and what our users are satisfied with. I can agree that flexibility is a huge plus compared to conventional methods of creating banners as Bannersnack can save a lot of time when going through this process. Now related to the issue that you are having with fonts, one of our support representatives will get into contact with you as this might require some looking into before we can establish what exactly is going on and what is causing this. Thank you for choosing Bannersnack!

The price is very reasonable and the software has enabled me to save by not having to hire a designer.
The software has a ton of flexibility for me to create any banner using any graphics or fonts. I am no designer so the ease of use was very important. Another great thing is the predefined layouts and font combos. When I try to do it myself, i always looks funky! Bannersnack to the rescue. Once I discovered the text layouts I was able to create banners that look like they were designed a by a pro.
The saving, and saving into different folders is a tad bit clunky but now I'm really being nit picky.
Hello Karen, Allow me to thank you for this wonderful review. It is our goal to make banner design effortless to people like you. No need to spend a fortune on a designer when you can always rely on our banner templates and text layouts to end up with something brilliant that will attract customers. Speaking of templates, Halloween is on our doorstep so be sure to check them out this month, we have some new designs in store for you. Also we are constantly looking to improve our interface so if you have any specific requests or suggestions on how to improve our Saving process just give your feedback to our support team and they will pass it on to the product team for a review.

We are a small team and Bannersnack has given us the tools we need to be more competitive with much larger agencies who have full marketing departments!
The user-friendly interface makes this tool perfect for anyone to use no matter their skill level. You don't have to be a graphic artist to make great marketing materials.
Resizing still requires you to make manual adjustments to each creative.
Hello Debra, We'd like to thank you for taking the time to post such a positive review! Designing a user interface that fits the needs of all our users is always a top priority for us as we like to think that everyone should have the possibility of designing creatives in a rapid and simple fashion.

Bannersnack was pretty simple to pick up without having any kind of graphic design background. I'm able to create display banners of various sizes with very little difficulty.
Not too many cons that I've found yet. Maybe downloading animated gifs for social media. I can't figure out how to save the right file for Instagram. It's probably user error though.

I love this product. It is so easy to use that even my own child has used it. Now a days most of my creative is managed through bannersnack.
It is easy to use and navigate. The software allows for ad creating and editing similar to photoshop but without the need of learning how to use another adobe product.
It has its limitations. It can create fast and good looking ads but within reason. More photoshop-like features would be beneficial.
Hello Francisco, We really appreciate your positive review and valuable feedback. It is always good to hear back from our users especially in cases like this. The fact that Bannersnack is proving useful for our users only drives us with determination in making it the number one banner design platform. Rest assured that we are continuously developing new features, adding new content and much more, to make creating designs even faster and more efficient. I can see how more editing features would help with our cause and I can guarantee you that I will forward this information to our production team.

Easy to use software for creating banner ads on the fly in collaboration with a team in multiple locations.
I would say Bannersnack is like Canva for display ads- great product when used properly, easy collaboration, and no technical issues.
The way creative is sorted on a per-user basis is a little clunky, but it's manageable. Otherwise no complaints!

My overall experience with Bannersnack has been great. Our team finds this software extremely valuable when creating banner sets for our clients! The customer service is amazing and we love how the Bannersnack team is always willing to listen and implement our feedback.
I love how functional BannerSnack is. It is simple to create banners in individual or full set mode. The timeline in full set mode makes is easy to create transitions with.
I wish that their were ways to right click and have a set of options such as (rename, duplicate, etc). I wish that it was easier to change certain features in the full set mode with out have to click on a certain size individually.

I like that I can quickly create an idea for a banner ad and quickly scale to covering a series of sizes and formats. In photoshop, this task can be tedious and time-consuming. I also like the many templates included that allow me to get inspiration.
I wish the UI was a bit more responsive. I also wish there was a layer functionality like in photoshop, but I understand that it's not complex as a professional-grade design tool.
