The user interface of Sketch
Now, let me be upfront with this. Sketch isn’t necessarily for everyone. It’s a niche tool that really shines for the UI/UX work of websites and apps. That said, it does have good templates for a number of business design needs, like business cards, mockups, invitations, ads, and even some social media promotions. I found the templates to be classy, modern, and minimalist.
Templates on Sketch
I tried my hand with some social media promotional posts and ads and I could customize the templates the way I wanted and export it as PNG and PDF.

However, the biggest limitation is that it’s Mac-only and also requires a subscription after the free trial, which may not work for all users. Sketch also has a web browser version, but that comes with a pricier paid plan.
What I liked about Sketch:
- Modern and sleek interface
- Easy to customize templates
What are G2 users saying:
“I love that I can quickly create professional-looking graphics. The wide range of templates, photos, and customization options make it easy to create unique designs for anything I need – be it social media posts, presentations, or personal projects. It’s also great that I can use it on my phone or laptop, so I can design on the go.”

What I didn’t like about Sketch:
- MacOS only
- Subscription can be pricey
What are G2 users saying:
“Although Sketch provides several advantages, there are some factors to not forget. One aspect is its compatibility with operating systems, as Sketch is presently only accessible for macOS. This limitation may be a disadvantage for graphic designers who prefer or specifically make use of other operating systems.”
