Design templates for merch and covers
Kittl is built for the kind of design that ends up on a t-shirt or a book cover: display type, textures, badge layouts and vector effects that would take an hour in Illustrator. The template library does most of the work and the editor stays out of the way. The free plan carries no commercial rights, which matters if the design is going on something you sell.
Our note
The free plan carries no commercial rights, which matters more here than usual because the output is merch and book covers meant to be sold. Anything headed for a storefront starts at $14 a month rather than at nothing.

Product photos with the background removed
Photoroom cuts a subject out of a photo and drops it onto something better, which is most of what selling a physical product on Instagram or Etsy requires. Batch mode does a whole catalogue at once. It is built around commerce imagery rather than general editing, so a portrait retoucher will find it narrow.
