The OMGIMG image builder offers lots of options for designing beautiful, compelling images for your posts, products, and socials. Here's how the builder keeps things simple.
Unlike some image builders, OMGIMG doesn't support unlimited options. We believe Photoshop and Canva already exist. Instead the builder uses a grid to keep images and text lined up and looking tidy.

Sections
Sections are stacked inside a row. You can add as many as you like.
To add a section, click the "add a section" button the builder:
There are three kinds of sections:
