Published on 17th of September 2024Contents
Stepping into a new year as a content creator is about more than just ‘new year, new me.’ A new year allows you to fix the content mistakes you may have made in the previous year. It also allows you to start with a blank canvas.
But the best thing about the new year, especially if you create content for Instagram, is the technology you can use to create gorgeous, effective content. If you’re undecided on which content creation tools you want to use in 2024, keep reading to discover some of the most popular tools people will utilize in the coming year.
1. Canva
Canva is a must-have if you’re not naturally inclined towards graphic design. This tool is fantastic for creating visuals that will attract your ideal audience. Canva’s Insta post features will help you create a polished and professional look. And you can publish your posts straight from the Canva platform.
You can explore different post sizes and ideas using pre-designed templates. You can also watch video tutorials on how to create Instagram Stories. If you’re very green when it comes to Canva, you can start by using a simple template and customizing it until you like how it looks.
2. Lightroom
If you’re adept with using more complicated content creation tools, you should consider using Adobe Lightroom. Lightroom can resize and crop your images for Instagram to get them looking as good as possible. The tool’s cropping feature cuts images to fit Instagram’s formats. It uses aspect ratios to keep the image intact while cropping.
Lightroom’s export settings will also help you export your images in high-resolution JPEG format for the best quality.
3. Snapseed
Snapseed is a wonderful photo editor that will allow you to add 3D visuals to your Instagram posts. You can use it on Android and iOS devices and it includes a very easy-to-use interface. Like Canva, Snapseed allows you to finetune your images and add a range of effects.
Unlike Canva, a lot of Snapseed’s features are free to use. Just remember that if you’re new to editing tools, you may want to practice a bit until you get the hang of the app.
4. ContentStudio
As a more comprehensive tool, ContentStudio will work wonders with your content strategy. With ContentStudio, you can create, schedule, and publish your Instagram content in one go. You can post static images and carousels directly to Instagram from the ContentStudio app.
This unique tool also advises on the best times to post to Instagram and provides a content calendar for ease of use. Even better, the app also offers an AI caption generator for those days when writer’s block hits. Unfortunately, ContentStudio does not have a free version, so if you want to use this tool, you will need to pay a subscription fee.
5. Boomerang
You can use Instagram's Boomerang app if you need a tool to help you level up your Instagram video game. You don’t need to download it because it is already available on the Instagram platform.
Using Boomerang, you can create a 1-second video loop for those fun and exciting content videos. These loops can help you highlight great moments in your business or small achievements.
You can also add a range of filters and music to your loops. The Boomerang content creation tool is popular already so if you haven’t tried it out yet, 2024 is the perfect time to do so.
6. Vyond
Vyond is another video-related content creation tool. This one offers two animation styles that suit most businesses. The business-friendly style includes fun features, while the contemporary style keeps things simple. You can use Vyond’s animation features to add music and characters to your existing videos or create new videos using the whiteboard feature.
Vyond offers pre-built templates to allow you to set up video scenes in a short amount of time. The tool provides a library of free music and sound effects, but you can also import your audio files for your videos.
7. Copy.ai
If you need help in the content writing department and do not want to use ChatGPT, Copy.ai is a fantastic alternative. Instagram content creators already use this copywriting tool to outline their posts, and it will become an even bigger hit in 2024.
Copy.ai offers a range of templates allowing you to write social media content and even website or email copy. It also offers a free AI caption generator that analyzes your photos to create the perfect copy.
8. Google Trends
The Google Trends tool is essential for content brainstorming. It provides data on trending keywords and topics, making it easy to produce relevant content. This data includes the Google search volume of specific topics and keywords. This tool also gives you insights into the locations where the searches happen.
Google Trends is great for creating seasonal content, for example, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc. Seasonal content will help you connect better with your audience, which makes Google Trends an invaluable app for your Instagram marketing strategy.
9. Freepik
If you do not want to design images but use gorgeous static ones for Instagram, Freepik is for you. This platform provides thousands of free-to-use images on just about every topic you can think of. And it has expanded to include videos, so you want to switch things up a bit.
With the paid version, you can use the in-browser editing tool to tweak the images and videos. You can also request unique image generation using the built-in AI image generator.
10. All Hashtags
It’s not always easy to produce unique hashtags for Instagram content. Fortunately, the All Hashtags tool makes this process a breeze. All you need to do is enter a term or topic, and the tool will list a string of relevant hashtags. You can even use this as inspiration to produce branded hashtags for your Instagram posts.
Use Content Creation Tools to Find Success on Instagram
Trying to post good content on Instagram without using helpful tools is time-consuming and even difficult. Use the available technology out there to transform your Instagram feed in 2024, and you will reap the rewards before the year is through.
