Thumbnails and product shots from a phone
Pixelcut does background removal, upscaling and text-behind-subject on a phone, which covers a thumbnail between filming and uploading. The free tier exports without a watermark, which is unusual and is most of the reason to try it. Anybody working on a desktop with a real editor open will outgrow it.

Graphics sized right for each platform
Snappa opens at the dimensions a thumbnail, a story or a header actually needs, which removes the step where somebody guesses and then crops. The stock photos and graphics inside it are royalty-free for commercial work. Three downloads a month on the free plan is the limit, and it is a hard one rather than a watermark.
