by amol238

With an ever-growing number of blogs entering the blogosphere, it is important to keep improving as a blogger by creating enticing content for your readers. To remain creative is essential if you want to remain relevant in this saturated market.

The following are a few tools that can be used by every blogger to create some great content for your blog.

1. ImageOptim

If you are a blogger that uses a Mac to write and edit your work, then this is a great tool to have. ImageOptim modifies your images to make them look perfect on the web. If you have an ecommerce website, for example a blog where you sell merchandise, this tool will allow you to process product photos so that they are of the highest quality possible.

The tool will also ensure that the images on your blog load fast on mobiles, improving your blog’s SEO.

The tool also converts images that are uploaded by users, optimizing them for the web and it can also generate images that are aimed specifically for high DPI screens. The tool will ensure there are multiple versions of your images in order to fit on phones, tablets and other devices.

Every blogger wants their images to look as professional as possible and ImageOptim transforms your images to professional quality, adjusting colors and resizing to preserve brightness of grain.

The tool also removes hidden metadata from images, including GPS position and camera serial numbers. The images also work in all browsers since they are backwards-compatible with JPEG and PNG standards.

2. Squared 5

This tool is aimed at Windows and Mac users to edit and convert MPEG clips. The tool can be used to open and play almost any movie format and can be used to edit video as well. When you are blogging, often you may want to create a video blog, also known as a vlog. This can require filming on a device and Squared 5 will take that footage and bring it all together as one, professional quality video.

If you are dealing with video footage directly from a camcorder brought onto a laptop then MPEG 5 is a great tool to transcode the footage. It supports most video formats and the tool is created for both Mac and Windows.

3. PowToon
