These free tools are perfect if you’re just starting out, or if you want to keep costs low while still creating professional products.

👉 Try Upscayl here

Upscayl is my go-to for bulk upscaling images without losing quality. If you sell clipart, digital papers, or printables, you’ll know how important sharp, high-resolution images are.

With Upscayl, you can increase the pixel size of your images so they’re suitable for larger prints – without the blurry, pixelated look you’d get from stretching them.

✅ Works on Mac & Windows
✅ Free to download from GitHub
✅ ‘Lite’ preset speeds up the process

👉 Use PhotoPea here

PhotoPea is like a free, browser-based Photoshop – without the learning curve or subscription cost. I use it for quick edits, touching up background removal, adding shadows, or layering transparent images.

✅ Crop, adjust colours, or fix AI-generated details
✅ Layer and arrange graphics with ease
✅ No downloads needed – works in your browser

👉 See my Pinterest boards here

Pinterest isn’t just for home décor – it’s a goldmine for product inspiration. I use it to spot seasonal trends, style ideas, and popular colour palettes.

✅ Search by niche keywords
✅ Create private boards for research
✅ Stay ahead of trends

Google Drive is my all-in-one storage and organisation hub for product files, listing images, and freebie folders. Paired with Docs and Sheets, it keeps my business structured.
