Thumbnails, covers and posts without a designer
Canva covers thumbnails, channel art, carousels and short video with templates that look fine and are quick to change. Brand kits keep a team consistent. Anyone with real design skill will outgrow it, and that is fine.
Our note
Nearly everyone should be on the free plan until a brand kit is the thing they keep wanting. Pro earns its money for teams and for anybody publishing daily; for one person making a thumbnail a week it does not.

Motion design in the browser, exported to Lottie
Jitter animates the things a creator actually needs animated, which is titles, logos and social posts, without asking anybody to learn After Effects. It imports from Figma and exports video, GIF and Lottie on every plan including the free one. The free plan watermarks and caps you at three workspace files.
