What they are
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.
Midjourney
Midjourney is a text-to-image AI that produces high-quality, stylistically distinct images from written prompts, accessed entirely through Discord or a web interface. It is used by illustrators, graphic designers, content creators, and marketers who need original visuals without a camera or traditional software. Image quality and artistic range are among the highest available from any AI image tool, though the learning curve for prompt crafting is real and outputs are not always predictable.
