Canva alternative

A faster Canva alternative for screenshot posts

Canva is a full design suite. If you mostly turn screenshots into social posts, a focused tool is faster: drop the screenshot, pick a frame and background, let the AI write the post and export at the right size. ShotGenio does exactly that, for a one-time price.
