PicMonkey helps social media marketers, small business entrepreneurs, and anyone who needs to communicate visually to stand out in a sea of sameness with impactful visuals that tell their brand story.
For people like me that are not Photoshop masters, this a great replacement. It helps me create beautiful designs that are resized in one clic for any device/social network.
We are restricted by the number of placeholders provides by the template and there is no option to start a graphic design from scratch in plain canvas.
Love their brand assets manager and how it pulls the data into the design templates. This makes creating brand assets so easy and professional looking.
This may frustrate graphic designers somewhat, but it delights me. As someone who has just enough design knowledge to be dangerous and make a total mess of things.
RelayThat has a great selection of design templates, as well as the ability to add custom typography. Support was quite responsive when I reached out as well.
I've turned to making more and more things on Canva to avoid looking too predictable.
I like that they have predefined templates, an image library, the ability to tweak nearly all aspects of the design, and the appropriate dimensions for most (if not all) social media platforms.
I found the workspace a bit confusing, but not a huge issue.
The ability to remove background with just one click and the use of artificial intelligence for better performance of photo editing is very lovable and practical for me.
I don't think I can find anything bad except now that they were forced to change and get rid of "flash" uploading all of my fonts it is a royal pain the butt.
I love how this software can be a great tool for beginners that are interested in photoediting or graphic design.
The only con about Picmonkey is the lack of templates compared to other platforms that can be used for social media.
I love the templates that are offered for editing and fairly easy to personalize. There is a good variety of fonts in the paid version.
On the flip side, there are some options that require you use the "pro" service, which can be frustrating when you're not needing to use the system often.
I LOVE the design templates so modern and chic. I am happy they integrated videos into it as well.
But I guess the current version was created for the niche market of unsophisticated graphic design work.
Fraser N.: My name is Fraser. I'm a marketing consultant. I'm here today to talk about RelayThat. I'm going to give it three out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below. I looked at a number of design tools before I went to RelayThat. A lot of it was trying to make it simple for someone like me who's not a trained designer. I didn't want to have to get into Photoshop and things like that. I also looked at solutions like Stencil, which is pretty good, but RelayThat seemed to give more options and easier to make a multiple social media and ad formats from it. I chose RelayThat because it gave the opportunity to do some good designs without having to learn something really complex, like Photoshop. For someone who's not a designer like me, that was great. I also wanted something that would work quickly and easily and give me multiple outputs for different sizes of digital ads and of social media posts. They were the main things that I was looking for in a tool. In terms of onboarding and help with RelayThat, that's why I've marked the tool down so much. The actual tool itself works pretty well, although there are limitations of what you can do, but the biggest problem is that RelayThat help and support and training is literally one video that's about a minute long. There are no other types of support videos available at all. It means a lot of people like me have been blundering around and not making the most of the tool, so that's a bit of an issue for me. RelayThat can do a job, but it really lets itself down with the lack of support and video training and onboarding. If that's important to you, then RelayThat is not the tool for you. You'll probably find the same kind of results from something like Canva or Canva Pro, just a few more bells and whistles, because that can do, basically, what RelayThat does. It has updated a lot more, and it's a lot more user-friendly.
Denise: Hi, I'm Denise. I'm a producer and promoter, and I give PicMonkey a five stars. And if you want to see some more reviews like this one, see below. I think that there's so many things that PicMonkey does that makes my life easier. It's hard to pinpoint one thing. I like the versatility in being able to create what I want from different projects, and they give you a lot of templates and examples. I can put my own branding information in there and I can use it from anywhere. I can use it from my phone, my laptop, I don't have to be at home, I can do it on the run. And it makes my life easier. I like being able to create from my own mind. Yes, they have a lot of templates and they do give me great ideas, but I could still... If I don't want to use them, I could still use my own creativity and I can always find that in the product. Wow, that's a good question because they've been adding on so many things. Maybe as they add on, I wish they'd had it before, but other than that, at least they're bringing it to me and they're letting me know what I don't have and how to make my life easier. So that's the only thing I can really think of.
