What they are

Loom

Loom is a video messaging tool that lets creators, teams, and educators record their screen, camera, or both and instantly share a link. It is widely used for async communication, product walkthroughs, and feedback on creative work. The free tier is genuinely usable, though video length limits and storage caps push most active users toward a paid plan fairly quickly.

Snappa

Snappa is a browser-based graphic design tool aimed at marketers, bloggers, and content creators who need social media images, thumbnails, and ad graphics without a design background. It offers preset canvas sizes, a stock photo library, and a template collection covering most common formats. The editor is simpler than Canva, which suits users who want fewer decisions, but that simplicity also means less flexibility for complex layouts.
