5 Free Apps for Better Social MediaThis Friday, folks around the globe will celebrate World Social Media Day. To help get the party started, we've put together a list of five tools to help take your brand's social media to the next level and shared it below. The best part? They're all free. Happy posting! 1.

But if you don’t have a team of designers, creating an image for every post can be a big job. That’s where Canva comes in – a free way to design posts efficiently. Easily create graphics that are pre-sized for the platform you need, with a library of templates, photos (or upload your own), stickers, borders, shapes, and more. It’s as easy as dragging and dropping. If you upgrade to the premium subscription, not only do you gain access to even more photos and elements, you can use the “Magic Resize” option so you can take one design and easily transform it to the right size for all platforms. 2 & 3. Facebook Pages Manager and Facebook Ads Attention: Facebook has more than one app! If you manage a page and/or an ad account, the amount of information you can see in the standard Facebook app is very limited, but these two apps give you access to almost everything you could see on a desktop. Monitor and create ad campaigns, manage your page and community, and view insights all from your phone. These apps make on-the-go social media management a breeze. Want a FREE Social Audit?
