Canva is a simplified graphic-design tool website which uses a drag-and-drop format and provides access to photographs, vector images, graphics, and fonts for a small price. It is user friendly to many extent but there is a competitor in the market, GlorifyApp, which focuses mainly on designers and web developers and gives access over half the price of what Canva has to provide.
Similar to Canva, the basic tools like templates, shapes text, photos and elements, filters for images, color picker, and much more. But the freedom lies in Magic Resize, Background Remover, Annotate Tool etc.
No One Ever made a difference by being like everyone else.

GlorifyApp
As I was browsing the facebook, someone mentioned the need for a Canva like app but with one time fee. So, I went around and got into searching something as such. The first result I found was GlorifyApp in the Product Hunt website and the promo video really caught my eye. The software felt really polished and made it look easier than others.

Quick Easy Effects for a Pro Look.
As of writing this, they have three essentials effects – One-Click Background Remover, a really cool tool to make images standout easily (Missed out on Canva) Shadows, and reflections. Have a look to below gif(s) to understand these effects better.
Background Remover
As I have a small eCommerce business site this particular feature really amps up the game. Even when I was a Graphics desginer & Photographer for the site Sadaipaty.com, I wasted tonnes of time and effort using Photoshop and Illustrator to make product pictures. But the ease of use GlorifyApp surely would save me work time by 75%.
Helps save time by 75%
Annotate tool: Highlight product features
One of the best features of I personally believe there is as I find reviewing products and highlighting product features but for all these tasks I use Photoshop or Illustrator. But GlorifyApp being an online app makes it easy for me to carry out these simple tasks.
Magic Resize
Though the Magic Resize is also available in Canva, topping with all the other features I believe GlorifyApp does better in terms of their service.
Logo Maker
When desiging website I usually find my clients, as they are small business, not having any Logos. So, GlorifyApp's internal Logo Making app makes my task very easy as it even creates mocukups.
