Just had a quick look around and as far as I can see they are sourcing their images from three named freebie/freemium sites, Iconfinder, Pixabay and StockUnlimited. We've had discussions here about StockUnlimited (http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/stockunlimited-brings-the-netflix-model-to-stock-imagery/msg439988/#msg439988) and Pixabay (http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/who-is-behind-all-the-free-stock-image-websites/msg431850/#msg431850)

Looks to me as if Youzign is going after Canva's approach but you buy one time vs. pay per design. Templates and easy creation of common online sizes & formats (Twitter covers, FB covers, etc.). The video trumpets that you don't need a designer and can do something easily yourself. From this review (https://www.markattwood.com/software-reviews/youzign-design-software-review-design-is-dead-long-live-design/): "I like Canva a lot, and it’s worth checking it out if you’ve never used it. Basically, Canva is a VW Beetle, Youzign is a Porsche 911."

Here's a video comparison/review - google for more; apparently other people see the two as competitors
