How it works

The tool's strength is its library — millions of stock photos and icons are built in, so you rarely need to leave the app to find an image. It also includes ready-made quote templates, social sharing, and a browser extension that lets you grab any image from the web and turn it into a graphic.

Stencil has a free plan with a small daily image limit. The Pro plan costs $9 per month and the Unlimited plan $12 per month, both removing the limits and unlocking the full library. It is a niche pick, but for fast quote graphics and social posts it is hard to beat on speed.
