How to choose
- Selling originals or prints in many sizes? Pick a tool that hangs the work at its real size, or a small study and a large canvas look the same.
- Posting a lot? Check the free tier’s download limit and whether exports are watermarked before you build a habit on it.
- Tired of rooms buyers have seen before? Popular templates turn up in thousands of shops. A tool that builds or changes the room gives you images nobody else has.
- Running a gallery? Decide whether you want one subscription for catalogue and clients (ArtPlacer) or just the presentation images (Situ.art).
