You mean vector graphics, raster graphics? It depends. For vector graphics, I am using Inkscape almost daily. For raster graphics, I use affinity photo.

Inkscape is free and opensource, so you don't need to spend money to try it out. As for affinity photo, the basic functionalities are free forever.

Affinity photo can take a bit of time to get used to if you are coming from photoshop.

p.s. not affiliated to either of these tools.
 
I mostly stick with Canva for daily designs because I can get things done fast without overcomplicating it.
 
tbh figma is hard to beat for daily work. even for simple layouts and quick mockups it just feels a lot faster than loading up heavy desktop software...
 
As you know there are to many tools are available these days and with the passage of time much easier and also tough tools are discovered till now. After the discovery of Artificial intelligence the designing work is now on command prompts. In some cases Ai can make a better designs as compared to the manual. I mostly create my design manually by using corel draw and photoshop. Both tools are very good and enough to create design from entry level to pro. I use them daily for personal designing and also for practice to be more better at them.
 
canva tools are really amazing.honestly speaking ready template or combined ai both mixed your output just amazing
 
As you mentioned above that there are many tools and one can switch any time from one to other according to need. Basically for graphic designing I do not use any specific tool in every case, I switch from one to another according to my requirement like if i want to design a logo I mostly use illustrator, If I want to design banners or posters and other heavy graphic stuff then I mostly use Photoshop or coral draw. In case of social media posts and normal adds poster then I use canva. So basically choosing a designing tool depends upon the type of designs. You can almost do every designing work with only tool also but its all about time and requirement.
 
figma has replaced a lot of separate tools for me makes the workflow much simpler.
 
canva gets the most daily use for me simply because i can open it and finish something quickly.

The only one I use from the very beginning is definitely Adobe. Nothing can replace it even Ai. It's Adobe illustrator and Photoshop for sure.
 
probably Figma for me, its simple and i can do most of my design work there without switching tools lol.

tbh I keep coming back to Figma for almost all my work. It is efficient for layout designs, ad creatives, landing pages nd I don’t have to keep toggling between the apps.
however, for complicated stuff I use Photoshop, but for anything else figma work fine for me.

It is the same case with Figma, which covers almost all the workflow without complicating things. The greatest advantage is that it allows jumping from wireframes to final design in one place.
 
probably figma. i use it for website layouts, banners, tables and quick drafts when i need to show an idea before spending too much time on it. sharing is easy and people can leave comments in the same file, so there are less versions going back and forth

i also use some AI tools for rough ideas, removing backgrounds or making a few visual options. it saves time at the start, but i still finish everything in figma because AI usually gets the small details, text and spacing wrong. canva is faster for very basic social posts, but figma is still the one i open almost every day
 
I'm truly always used adobe illustrator for vector image and adobe Photoshop for photo retouching. This really smooth and hassle free.
 
figma for serious design work, canva when i just need to make something quickly.
