Substance Designer
Substance Designer is a node-based texture compositing tool that allows you to create Substance files or bitmap textures. You can use it to texture assets and also bake model information (ex: normal, displacement, curvature etc.). It contains a wide library of tools, materials and procedural effects to help you achieve your goals in a fully non-destructive workflow. Substance Designer 5 is coming this march with loads of new features.

Substance Painter
Substance Painter is a brand new 3D Painting app with never before seen features and workflow improvements to make the creation of textures for 3D assets easier than ever. It is acknowledged as the most innovative and user-friendly 3D Painter out there.
BITMAP2MATERIAL
B2M is an incredibly powerful tool that helps you generate full, seamlessly tiling materials from any bitmap image, right within your favorite DCC tool & game engine*. This includes PBR (Physically-Based Rendering) channels, based on the most accurate conversion algorithm out there.
Bitmap2Material lets you extract all the possible maps from a single image: this now includes PBR channels such as base color (or albedo), metallic, roughness but also normal, height, specular, curvature, AO etc.
Thanks to the integration of the Substance Engine into the most used DCC tools and game engines on the market, Bitmap2Material can be used in any of those tools, allowing you to fine tune your material directly on your mesh. This feature is only available with the Pro license.
