PIXLR
Pixlr is just like Adobe Photoshop, with a much more simple interface and free to use! You cannot go wrong with this online tool. It gives you the ability you to edit photos, create original artwork or simply resize existing imagery. There is a mobile and desktop version, which makes this a great on-the-go solution for quick creation for social media.
Canva
Canva is similar to Pixlr. It gives you free range on what you can create and is simple to use within the application. They have additional services such as a Design School and blog tutorials that are extremely useful for beginners. Another great Canva feature is their pre-made templates for social media (i.e. Twitter Headers, Facebook Cover Photos, Pinterest Graphics, etc.).
MEME Generator
MEMEs are very popular sharable content! This site gives you the platform to make your own MEMEs. While MEMEs are not for every audience, they are fun additional content for a younger target market.
