The Basics of: Pablo by Buffer

Pablo is a very easy to use program designed to help you "create engaging social media images in under 30 seconds" and it lives up to that name. It is very simple to create images with this program that look clean and catch people's attention. In this post, I will walk through how to do this most effectively so you can get right to business creating images for your social media that will catch the eye of your customers. Did I mention it's free?

As soon as you load into the program everything you need is right there. No confusing menus that you need to learn how to navigate.

  1. To create an image, simply search for an image on the top left using keywords such as "sunset" or "smile" and find one you like.
  2. Next, double-click inside the text block and type the message you'd like on your image.
  3. Then, resize it for your social media platform, such as Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest on the top right!
  4. Once you're satisfied with how it looks, just click "Share and Download" and you can share it directly to social media or save it to your computer to upload later.
  5. And just like that, you're a Pablo pro! You just created an image that you can promote on your social media!  

Below is just a simple image I made with the program. The best part is it really took me only thirty seconds so I can definitely testify that is not just a sales line! This program is really that fast and easy to use!
