-I Wish it was easier to delete images from 'my images'. Other than that, i like it all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That I can create static and animated ads in a fraction of the time. I really love the banner sets. It helps me create the ads faster and when I need to download them, they come in one bundle. That's rad. I also like how you can use the animation timeline in a visual way. Super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The gradient tool orientation has errors sometimes. Makes it hard to control which direction you want it to go. Also, if you keep hidden layers on the animations, it tends to show up on the finished product. I also don't like how the background images are handled. I like to have more control over the crop. I tend to make background images as a general image so I can control it. Also don't like that I can't download with one click. There is an error on the first click to download, so I have to wait for it to download then click again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we first signed up to Bannersnack I couldn't say enough nice things about it. We love it's fast responsive builder, the ease of creating animated components, the design of the actual product and their responsive support team. We have created hundreds of banners in bannersnack now, and think it is great for creating basic, but engaging banners for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With all that said, over time as we started to create a full catalog of banners, we started to hit some bottle necks in the management of folders, duplication of assets etc. For example, right now we have about 8 value propositions that we have ad sets for. We created the first set and wanted to duplicate the ads *into another folder* for some quick edits to the text and otherwise leave the components alone.

The only way I have been able to do this is by opening the original folder, selecting all and clicking Duplicate. My issue is that these assets get duplicated in the same folder, and so I have to go through and manually select each banner which was duplicated, then manually move them over to the new VP folder. It might sound like a small issue, but when you've got ~100 banners per set, manually going through, analysing the file name to decipher if it's a duplicate or not, then selecting and moving is a real pain.

Our favourite part of Bannersnack is the preview environment. Our clients love to be able to see the ads in action before publish. The preview environment really helps them visualize and understand what the ads are going to do. Not only that, but you can brand the preview page and the url so that your clients don't even know you are using Bannersnack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if Bannersnack had an autosave feature. A few times my designers forgot to save their work and lost a lot of time. If after the first time you save your workspace, the program would auto save whenever changes were made that would be ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how when you upload any image you upload Bannersnack will make the image fit the banner size you pick, I also like how you can do html5 banners without messing with any code and how you can download them and they are ready to be used for digital marketing campaigns.

Nothing to dislike other maybe more advanced features in the near future, One feature I would love to use within Bannersnack would be to be able to remove image backgrounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to animate the ads and the image resizer functionality. I love the UI, very nice compared to their competitors. I like that we have the ability to specify status on design and how easy the feedback process is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't do the following:

- Be able to rename colours

- Ability to adjust image's location by X/Y in the scale crop setting

- Make the lock elements unselectable in the focus mode

- Option to duplicate on the same location

- Ability to add created layers back to one of the banner size we created

- Ability to create folders EVERYWHERE: focus mode, generator mode, in the libraries (can't do it for colors & fonts)

- Ensure that updates to a layer made in Focus mode is applied to that same layer in Generator mode

- Ability to animate multiple layers at once.

- Have more text editable capabilities (superscript, subscript, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to easily create basic animations, resize the canvas, utilised vector assets and export straight to a Google Ad Server compliant HTML5 Zip. Creating simple banner sets for clients is really handy, absolute timesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Replacing assets can be frustrating, the layers currently need to be at the top of the stack to become swappable not highlighted (clicked on) which would seem the natural way of doing it. The inability to create "on rollover" animations like "go to frame" is something most banner designers need also creating nested timelines (time lines playing over another, e.g. a button designed in a timeline" The embedded canvas (.js) file is generally huge, in some cases 80kb which is far too much considering most publishers have a 150kb limit.

I really like that I can export HTML directly from the platform with specific ad network coding options. I also love that I can send a link for team and client review Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still a few quirks in the ad builder. I've noticed that when changing copy, if you select all and paste in new copy for some reason you lose the formatting i.e. color and font. Also when resizing something like a logo png, sometimes it can clip edges and you have to be careful to size it properly. I realize this could be fixed by adding more clear space to a file, but it really shouldn't be necessary to alter a file for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to easily put out multiple variations of banner ad sizes, creative templates, built-in animations, easy to implement, and awesome customer service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very happy with everything, but if I had to choose, I'd say my complaint is that there are only about 2 dozen templates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool has a lot of potential and is very helpful for creating ads in a dynamic way. Thanks to its functions, the team can enhance and improve banner creation abilities, reducing both time and cost in advertising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using the editor, it can sometimes lead to a kind of blank sheet, and if the banner already made is not saved beforehand, you might lose all the design work, forcing you to redo the entire design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
