class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best Adobe InDesign alternative in the market right now is <a href=\"https:\/\/pixelied.com\/\">Pixelied<\/a> due to its wide variety of features and accessibility. You can find ready-made templates, extensive stock photo libraries, icon libraries, and various editing and design options.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing about Pixelied is that it requires no training. It\u2019s easy to use, has brand presets, and is an online tool that\u2019s readily available. That means you don\u2019t have to worry about downloads, plugins, and integrations.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, page design and page layout can take a lot of time. However, with Pixelied, all you have to do is open the <a href=\"https:\/\/pixelied.com\/editor\">editor<\/a> and start the design process. You can set up the dimensions manually if you have a custom page design.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, you can add photos, illustrations, vectors, text, elements, and more without any limitations.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a professional page design and layout service, they would offer their services through InDesign. However, those services will be extremely expensive. And if you hire someone to use InDesign directly, it would still prove to be costly.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can use an easy-to-learn online tool like Pixelied. Even marketers can easily learn how to create page designs and layouts on Pixelied.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it provides to be an ideal InDesign alternative for small businesses, casual users, small website owners, and blog owners.<\/p>\n<p>In short, InDesign is made for technical graphic designers who have years of experience. It\u2019s not ideal for users who want to create good designs in a matter of minutes. Not to mention InDesign\u2019s price is pretty high for most people.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>Pixelied offers a free plan<\/strong>, is easy to use for non-tech designers, and provides high-quality designs in minutes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pixelieds_Features_and_Tools\"><\/span>Pixelied\u2019s Features and Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>InDesign was one of the first desktop publishing software (DTP). It was followed by Microsoft Office Publisher, Scribus, QuarkXPress, Swift Publisher, and LucidPress, among others.<\/p>\n<p>However, all these software haven\u2019t been updated with a user interface for common users. They usually require the input of a <a href=\"https:\/\/pixelied.com\/blog\/how-graphic-designs-can-skyrocket-your-ecommerce-sales\/\">graphic design<\/a> expert. Today, users need a design tool that can <strong>quickly create page designs and page layouts. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And one that can work on any OS (operating system) or device, whether it\u2019s Windows, Apple Mac OS, Linux, or even an iPad, iPhone, or Android (since there are desktop publishing apps too).<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Pixelied works best under such circumstances because it can work on any device or OS, while offering most features and tools, including the following.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ready-Made Templates \u2013 <\/strong>There are hundreds of pre-made templates for various designs, posts, and pages. You can choose any template and edit it according to your requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stock Photos \u2013<\/strong> With various third-party integrations, you have access to thousands of stock photos. The best thing is that you get easy access to all stock photos regardless of their parent site.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Icons \u2013<\/strong> This option allows you to add social media and other icons to your page design, business cards, and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>My Files \u2013<\/strong> You can actively upload, store, and export designs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Illustrations \u2013<\/strong> If you want, you can add custom vector graphics and illustrations to your page designs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Elements \u2013<\/strong> You can also add shapes, arrows, speech bubbles, and other elements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brandify \u2013<\/strong> This allows you to create brand presets with fonts, logos, and colors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blend \u2013<\/strong> This option lets you create custom color blends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other than that, you can run multiple projects simultaneously using various workspaces. And you can control things like layers, opacity, alignment, borders, and shadows.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Pixelied_for_Editing\"><\/span>How to Use Pixelied for Editing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to quickly edit page designs, photos, and more, here\u2019s how you can do it using Pixelied.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open <a href=\"https:\/\/pixelied.com\/editor\">Pixelied\u2019s editor<\/a> on your computer\u2019s browser.

Not to mention it\u2019s quite expensive. That\u2019s why a lot of casual users and small business owners tend to look for a free InDesign alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Adobe does provide some benefits, such as the Creative Cloud. Other than that, there are easy integrations with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. That also means you get some of the benefits of those design software, including CMYK color management, custom typesetting, typography, photo editing, and multiple file formats.<\/p>\n<p>However, that\u2019s only useful if you have someone that understands these settings.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, a steep learning curve, high pricing, minimal tutorials, and the lack of a free version are just some of the reasons people opt for an InDesign alternative.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same with other Adobe software; for example, users often look for a <a href=\"https:\/\/pixelied.com\/blog\/lightroom-alternative\/\">Lightroom alternative<\/a> because it\u2019s expensive and hard to learn.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, it\u2019s better to use an InDesign alternative like Pixelied that meets the industry standard.
