Are you looking for a Canva alternative?
Well, there's a deal that's going on right
now that's an image designer plus an AI copywriting system.
So it's a two for one deal that's going on right now, and it's called Simplified.
In this video I will be reviewing
Simplified and I will be telling you what I like and dislike about it.
So what I'm gonna do is we're gonna jump
over to the deal and then show you what Simplified is about.
My name is George.
This is SaaS Master and let's go jump over to my desktop right now.
All right.
This is the deal that's going on right now
and it starts off at $79 for the lifetime deal.
So that means you pay once and use forever.
And if you're paying month to month, another software like Canva.
Well, maybe you can save on that and just
use Simplified, which you only have to pay once.
If you guys want to grab that deal, that link will be in the description.
Let me show you what the plan actually gets you for $79.
The first thing that you have to know is that you get access to all the tools
inside of Simplified, so there's no limitations on the things
that you can use, but there are some limitations on the plan.
So for example, license Tier
one is one user seat.
You get unlimited guest, 25GB of total
storage, which I think is more than enough.
If you go more than 25GB,
just delete some stuff and you're good to go total 500 total words per month.
That's for the AI copywriting system
and 25 total background removal credits per month.
So on the credits, it's pretty much limited.
I hope they change those plans because I think that's not enough.
I think it should start off at 50 credits for the background removal.
If you need more limits,
jump into license too, which gives you more editor seats,
more storage, more total words per month and license tier three.
Okay, now let's go jump over two simplified.
Alright, this is our simplified dashboard.
There's two things that I'm going to be covering.
One is the Image Designer, which also lets you create short videos
and the AI Copywriting system, which is the AI assistant.
If you want to jump to the AI assistant
part of the video, jump over to this minute right here.
So let's start off with the templates for the image designer.
Now we can choose the type of template that we want to work with.
Just in case you want to use this for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or whatever.
You can just search around for it.
In this case, I'll choose YouTube
and I can select thumbnails and it's gonna add the size that I actually need.
So here are the templates that they have available.
I'll just scroll through them really quickly.
There's not many available, but you can see those right there.
I'll choose one for testing purposes. Okay.
I'm gonna choose this one and this is our Canva to work with.
This is where you're going to see if it's actually powerful or not.
And if it's gonna be a decisive decision
to move away from Canva or another image designer to move over to simplified.
Okay, so the first thing is that we have our main menu on the left,
which is my assets, what I've uploaded and that's my beautiful
self there which I will be testing is a background removal.
The templates. If I want to switch template my template,
the components that they have available here.
I don't like this that if I use my scrolling, it grows through one of these.
Unless I go through the middle right there, then it's gonna actually scroll.
But we can choose from the type of categories or search the categories.
Okay. The text.
If you want to add text from here,
by the way, they have gradients inside the text, which I think is pretty good.
We can upload our own fonts, which I actually think is pretty cool.
Awesome.
And there's other type of little fonts right there available.
Okay.
The images, there's stock images available right here.
Again, we can search through them.
And I will be adding one of these to do some background removal tests in a bit.
Visuals, which pretty much are icons. There you go.
This is the icon that says right there.
And again you can search through them
again and media for videos that we can add to our animation right here.
If you add a media or you add some
animation, it's gonna turn the image into an animation, but heads up.
You can export the short video or you can
actually export the image that you have from what you're working with.
Okay, let's get started with
the background removal, which I think is pretty popular.
Let me show you how good it actually is.
Let's go into my assets.
Let me add myself right here.
I have to drag it. Okay.
So I'm gonna select myself and tools. Pop up.
Anything that you select will have
the tools on the top and more tools on the right.
When I go into more, I'll show you that in a bit.
So there's the delete.
The clone set us background the removal background, which I'm going to test
and there's things that I like about it and dislike.
The thing that I like about it is
that it's automatic and it's actually pretty good.
What I dislike about it is that we don't
have have any settings for background removal.
What do I mean by that?
Let's just say it doesn't remove the background like we want.
Maybe we want to remove something else.
There's no more options available for the Background Removal Ltd.
Me deny that.
Okay, there's no more options for background removal.
Let's just say that I wanted to remove this little part from a chair.
You can see that on my back.
You can see that right there on the corner of my shoulder.
What happens if I want to remove that little part from the background?
Because I just want myself.
Well, there's no settings for that, so I have to stick to whatever
the background actually gives me the background removal tool,
so I hope they add some tools like other type of Editors have where I can select
and deselect things that I want to keep or remove.
Let me show you another example
of a background removal, because here I don't have any hair.
Well, on the picture and on life.
So I want to get an image where there's
actual hair going around, so it's more harder to remove the background.
Let me delete myself.
Let's go into the images and I'll search around for hair.
Okay.
Let's choose something that's simple and a hard one.
Okay.
So this one, there's a lot of hair going on right here.
Let's go ahead and remove the background for this one.
Let's wait for that to go, and they say it's 15 to 30 seconds.
I think it's faster than that, but it will depend on the server loader.
Okay. So it's been removed.
Let me get rid of this lady because she's just taking up space.
Okay.
So here's the background removal, and it actually did a pretty good job.
But there are some flaws in the background
removal if it's hard to remove, there's things that it won't do.
So, for example, this part right here, it's white.
You see that in between that hair where my mouse is, it's white.
So it did a good job because you can see
the fine hairs going on over here, but that place is missing to remove the hair.
Now let's remove another background
for something that's a little bit more complex where there's things going on.
So let me see this one.
No,
it's not good focus.
So it's not right to test with that one.
It should be focused correctly on the subject.
Let me see.
I guess
this one, it's kind of hard,
but let's see how good it does in the hair when there's things going on.
Okay. It's not a plane background on the back.
So let's try the background removal, see how it actually does.
So the subject is focused
and the background is unfocused so that it should work.
Let's see what happens.
Okay.
Now it's been removed and it kind of did. Okay.
You could see in between the hair of this white parts.
That's where it didn't remove.
If you had a whitish background, I guess that wouldn't be noticeable.
So if I put it right there, you can see the hair right there.
It's actually white on the back, so it would work out.
But as you can see, there's no fine tuning for this.
So just things that you have to be aware with the background removal.
Okay. Now let's go into the font element.
Font element has a lot of options that I think are pretty good.
Let me show you, for example, again, we can delete clone.
We can select the font.
We can upload our own font, change the size, bold, italic underline score.
This was pretty interesting.
We have our own brand assets that you can upload before you start here.
It's in our dashboard.
So we can upload several brands with the colors and logos and the font
for that brand that you're working with and you have available right here.
So for example, piece out of the colors
that I use for this brand and I can choose them, which I think is pretty slack.
The background color.
There's the animate.
Remember, if we animate this, it's gonna turn it into a video.
Okay, but no problem.
You can still export image as an image.
Let's get started.
These are the selected motions that we can use.
And let's try. For example, it's pretty simple.
One fly in. You can see how it flies in from the top.
There's a setting for the fly in here.
A Lo open settings. Here we go.
Flying from left, right, top, bottom, slow, normal, fast, the easing.
How do you want to use it?
So see how it changes, like fast medium and then fast.
You can do that there. You can play around with the animations.
See what works for you.
Animate several things so it looks pretty cool.
Okay, let's go back close that choose there and there's the layers.
So you can put these on top align.
So if you're working with another
type of asset right there, it's in the back.
Well, we can turn it to the front with layer settings.
Okay. And this is where the good part comes.
More.
Okay, a lot of options available for fonts you can even use.
Credit is inside of the font, which is something I like.
We can add text to it.
Save components.
Delete clone animate slack if you don't want to move the round later on so you
don't accidentally move just like I moved that little lady.
There the layers appearance, position, typo graphy.
We saw that already. We can use gradient.
You can see how the colors from the font are actually gradient.
Let's go down here.
It has drop shadow.
There we go.
We can set the color for the drop shadows.
So maybe you want to do some dark there.
There's also settings for the drop shadow.
The 360 rotation wherever you
want to place it the distance a little bit closer.
Kind of there kind of drop shadow where the light hits.
Then we have the blur amount more up to nothing.
The shadow color.
We can also use stroke if you want to use a stroke.
There also settings for stroke.
So if you don't want that big of a stroke, just kind of do it there.
Let's do black.
There we go.
And we have those settings for fun.
Lots of lots of settings for fun.
Okay, next thing we have is the let's add some video here.
Okay, it's going to media.
Let's drop in one of these videos.
Whatever.
Drop that one there.
Okay, here's. That wideo.
Obviously it's not plain, but let's go ahead and play it on the bottom.
There's a timeline for this.
Let me open it up.
There's a timeline to play this and you
can add more templates inside of here or if you want to continue the video.
So let me click play on it just so you see how it moves.
Okay, there's a video and there's the animation from the back.
It's playing there and it should stop.
There we go.
We can also add music if we like.
There's music available that didn't load.
That's a bug.
Okay, I click play. It's not Loading.
Wait for that.
Now let's drag it in, click on it.
Did it add it?
Let's go see if it added the no, it didn't add the music.
So clearly there's a bug there that they have to take care of.
Okay, let me close this timeline there and I'll get rid of that.
And now let's go into the export setting.
Okay, we can share this if you want to share a shareable link, let me copy it.
Open incognito mode. I am not logged in.
This could be potentially anyone and they'll be able to see this right there.
Now, remember, we animate it, so it's gonna be a video.
So there's the animation.
Hey, that guy shouldn't be there.
Let me go back here.
See that guy's not here in the image designer again,
another bug and I have found several bugs playing around with simplified.
So that's something that you have to consider.
Remember, Canva has been around for several years and these guys are fairly new.
So you have to consider that that there will be some bugs potentially in this.
Now the export settings is you can export
PNG, JPEG, Jpg video and SVG, which is coming soon because I can't click on it.
Or maybe because it's a video,
it won't let me, but it should or maybe the type of image.
That's why it won't let me.
Let's choose Jpeck.
Then we can choose the size.
Now it goes pretty high.
Check that out.
That's a pretty large file size image
and the quality for it and the reports that you want to export.
Now remember, there are several reports
in the bottom in the timeline in case you add more templates, depending if you want
to export all of them or just a single specific one that's available there.
Those are the export settings.
There's also the fast movements.
If you want to move around
with the keyboard, the preview which opens it up on the right.
Let's see if it's Loading it again.
It shouldn't load that image.
Okay, so something that I hope the guys from super fine.
Watch this video and they they're aware of that but so they fix it.
Okay.
Those are for the image designer editor with a slight video editor also.
So not many things for videos, but it has it.
Okay, let's go back.
Let's go into the AI assistant.
And this is the AI system system.
This is where these come into play,
which is the licensed tiers where they have 50,000 total words per month,
150,000, 300,000, depending on the license that you have.
These reset every month. Okay.
So basically, it's like an addon tool
that maybe you can grab the deal if you're interested in it because of the image
designer, or maybe because you're interested in the AI copyrighting system.
Okay. Now they have several options available.
Which is what do you want to use this for?
Obviously, you'd read through these to see
what you want or what you're going to use it for.
But I think I saw there was a YouTube one. Here we go.
Youtube title. I'll use that one there.
What is the output language?
And these are the languages that it has available.
These are all that they have.
So it's 34567, 8910, ten languages available.
I'll keep it on English.
And what is the video about?
We'll just say simply fine
image with AI
copy writing system
copying.
All right, let's see what it generates.
So this is how the AI copywriting system.
There are several deals going on around this for a copywriting.
This is just like an extra because it's I don't know.
They just added it has nothing to do with simplified, but they added it.
So we're getting two tools in one.
If you plan to get this deal.
And these are the outputs that we get the result.
And they gave me three outputs.
How to write the perfect blog post as a simplified info from Graphic.
Since the name of this deal is simplified, it's potentially going to get it wrong.
Okay, so check these options available.
We can generate more if we like,
wait for that to load.
Here we go.
So it's
focusing on the AI writing.
Let me get rid of simplified image
that image designer with AI copyrighting system.
Let's generate now without the simplified
because it's focusing seen on the word and not as a brand.
Okay.
And it added them here to the bottom or to the top.
Let me start off again.
Let me go back.
Go to YouTube and add that there generate
so we don't get mixed up with the other ones that we're checking out.
Okay, here's our results.
Designing with AI Artificial intelligence, a beginners guide.
Turn your Facebook profile picture into an awesome cartoon character.
Nothing to do with that.
A simple guide to designing your own logo.
Not pretty good for what you want to get.
You could get ideas and then obviously use that.
But for the results, I don't like them.
Let's go into something else, like Blog Idea plus titles.
Let's see what it's going to add.
We're gonna say.
Let's see
YouTube
videos for SaaS.
Okay, let's generate see what it's going
to generate should generate us blog ideas so we can later on and focus on those.
Let's see how to create a YouTube video
for your SaaS company and what you should avoid.
Top ten videos.
Top ten YouTube videos that will teach you
how to start a software as a service business.
So these are the ideas that we get, and you can use those.
We can modify these if we like, kind of to make them even better.
Generate more if we like.
And we're getting ideas for blog ideas because that's what we've selected.
So that's what we're gonna get for the AI writing system.
Well, AI assistant, as they call it.
Let me see if there's another.
Let me see something that's more long form landing page.
No long form content
landing page company brand.
Let's say SaaS master.
What service do you offer? I don't know.
Overview videos for SaaS
and WordPress.
Let's see what it generates.
This is the idea of it.
If you give it more content right here
for what it's for, I bet you can get better results.
So here we go.
Headline Word present Task overview videos.
I provide short videos that explain how to use WordPress as platforms.
Reach me if you like a video made about your product.
Okay, so these are the ideas that I'm getting.
Let's generate more results.
See what we get.
Okay, there we go.
We got more results that obviously you get
these as base ideas and then you work with that.
Okay.
So it gives you the idea, and then you going through that.
Okay. That's the AI writing system.
Next thing we have is the brand kit where
I told you we can add our brands, colors and the font for it.
So we select the color palette if we want, I can add another brand.
We go brand kit two.
I can name it to whatever I need.
It logos, fonts and color palette to later use on the image designer,
my library for uploads, my settings and the members area.
Here we go. We can invite members.
We get unlimited guests, as you saw there,
but for editor seats, we need a license tier two or three to actually work with that.
But there you go, guys.
That is the simplified deal that's going on right now.
Like I mentioned before, it's a lifetime deal that you buy once,
and that's all you have to pay if you guys want to grab it.
Do remember, there's a link in the description.
That's an affiliate link.
If you buy through that link,
it gives me a small Commission, but it won't cost you a single sent more.
So it helps me out grab these deals.
Maybe it is where you make videos for you
guys and you decide at the end of the day if it's a deal that you need or not.
Let me know what you guys think about this deal.
If it's a good Canva competitor or not.
Well, I thank you for watching. My name is George.
This is SaaS master. And I'll see you guys.
Later.
