### "Drag and drop graphic design software"

January 25, 2022

5.0

Lunacy is a life saving software that always help me when i has a important media that i need to edit or creating a poster or info-graphic for our social media content.

Pros

Lunacy employ a very easy process of creating and editing a media like picture, poster and social media banner. One of the thing that i love is the content library. It has so many vector that are free to use and can be use for commercial. I also can save the project into .jpeg or .png as well some other graphic file format.

Cons

I would love to see more free vector and content on the library. It saves my time from searching for a free vector on Google and have to deal with the commercial licenses. It will also be great if they can integrate with graphic media provider like Shutterstock.

Hello, Hamizah! Thank you for the review and your support. We really appreciate it! Lunacy actually has a huge collection of graphic content besides icons. You can find Photo and Illustrations libraries in the left sidebar right below the icons. We're also adding new content all the time, so make sure to check the library from time to time for some cool stuff! We hope that you'll continue to enjoy your experience with Lunacy.

### "Lunacy Review"

November 19, 2021

4.0

So far been a good experience. I expect updates in the future which would iron things out and take lunacy to next level.

Pros

It has everything in one place which is a big plus. Staying in one app to do all your work reduces distractions and increases productivity.

Cons

It still needs some work in terms of optimization. Can be buggy at times.

### "The best alternative to Sketch (and it's for Windows!)"

August 24, 2019

5.0

The developers care about their vision for Lunacy. In a design world where everything is always evolving and changing, Lunacy is ahead of the curve. They are always implementing features their users are asking for. I've had a very positive experience so far!

Pros

It is free and accessible to all. Lunacy is constantly being updated, and the developers are listening to their audience. You can see problems from the forums being addressed in each build (and it is updating constantly). I love that I have a viable option for working on Sketch files on my Windows machine.

Cons

There are a few hiccups when using Lunacy as it's still being developed and the kinks are being ironed out/ However, I am confident in the development team and enjoy having access to the beta versions of each build.

### "With Lunacy, your imagination is the only limit to your creation"

November 20, 2021

5.0

Can I create Printing design such as magazine in Lunacy? The answer is a big YES. This is my experience: I created many printing materials and, even though Lunacy doesn't work with CMYK, the result is amazing. We print them to distribute and here you can see a link of one of these jobs in a digital and interactive version. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] So, YES, you can do everything you want in Lunacy, and the final printing quality is fantastic. Thanks Lunacy. 😍😍😍

Pros

\- Super fast - Low memory consumption - Very intuitive

Cons

\- No cons reviews to write. In its category, Lunacy reach all its goals.

### "Another top tier mobile app, website software "

November 27, 2022

4.0

If you want to save time and work on more projects, choose Lunacy.

Pros

I'm in love with the AI powered background remover tool. It saves me more time using it because it has hundreds of images, icons as well as many illustrations depicting what I want at my fingertips all loaded inside the software. It has a text generator tool too and it doesn't entirely depends on the internet as it perfectly works offline unlike other apps development softwares. What's more, Lunacy runs on all platforms like Mac, Windows and Linux. Great software!

Cons

I haven't seen anything I haven't liked yet.

### "Free to use but premium feature"

July 12, 2022

4.0

Pros

I appreciate how everything is neatly placed where you can find it quickly and how easy it is to figure out how to do anything you want to do with it. No essentials are missing from this alternative to drawing. Images can have the backgrounds removed at the press of a button, allowing me to experiment with fresh arrangements.

Cons

If you're being sincere, you probably can't find anything wrong with a machine like Lunacy. It may take some time to install the program on older devices, although it is far more of an issue with the hardware.

November 3, 2021

5.0

As the title says... 😉

Pros

Canvas Colour can be changed. Avatars can be generated accordingly. Art is also generated without taking any time

Cons

Testing a design lets a user to test the prototype in the browser instead of app itself.

Reason for choosing Lunacy

Because it is new and is capable of becoming popular in the market giving a tough competition to Adobe XD, Figma, and Sketch.

### "Ottima alternativa"

November 18, 2021

4.0

Insostituibile alternativa all'acquisto di un Mac e di Sketch. Continuerò ad usarlo

Pros

L'interfaccia è intuitiva, usabile e familiare a chiunque abbia avuto a che fare con la grafica. Per absolute beginners è un pò affollata, ma il tutorial è fatto molto bene e aiuta. L'importazione dei file .sketch è immediata ed efficace. Ha tutto quello che serve per iniziare e molto di più. Non conoscendo l'originale Apple, non posso fare confronti

Cons

Sembra molto esoso in fatto di risorse hardware. Finchè non disporrò di un pc più prestante, non potrò utilizzarlo al meglio perchè è molto lento. (attualmente 4core 8 GB ram MSWin 10)

I am very satisfied, I appreciate the quality of the software, you can do whatever you want in Lunacy,It is very simple and very useful for both beginners and advanced designers.

Cons

No important cons with the number of awesome features that is included in the software,however, I think it needs some features to import other vector formats like: EPS, PDF or AI.

September 18, 2020

5.0

Lunacy has been a very handy tool to edit Sketch files in Windows.

Pros

I really like the clean and well organized interface, plus the fact that it's very intuitive to use no matter what you need to achieve. It has all the basic features you'd need in a sketch alternative.

Cons

Definitely needs some improvements feature-wise, as it feels like a basic tool as of now.

### "An excellent graphic editing software for Educators!"

August 9, 2021

5.0

I use Lunacy to create and edit images and graphics for the university classes that I teach. While I am not a power-user nor the ideal type of user for software like this, Lunacy is just perfect for making quick designs and new compositions on the fly. One practical example is removing the background on character images to superimpose them on another image. Traditionally one would have to learn how to use complex tools or pay to achieve great results. With Lunacy the software will do all the heavy lifting and nine times out of ten I get professional-quality results without breaking a sweat.

Pros

Lunacy has several excellent features that make it a very compelling tool for a broad range of users but I like the background removal feature most. At the click of a button, I am able to remove the background from photos and create new compositions without having to hire a graphic design or photo editing superstar. The results are phenomenal and I cannot recommend this tool enough. PS\*\* I might also mention that it is great to know that this is a cross-platform tool.

Cons

To be honest, it is hard to fault a tool like Lunacy. If I were to be nit-picky, it can take a little time to load the software on old computer systems, but to be fair, that is more of a problem with the age of the system than with Lunacy.

August 26, 2020

4.0

Lunacy has been a lifesaver on multiple occasions because it allows editing sketch files on Windows.

Pros

Finding Lunacy was a godsend, since I often need to open and edit sketch files in Windows and there was really no option out there. Lunacy handles these files with no problem and is constantly being updated.

Cons

I have ran into some performance issues and crashes in large files. Also, the interface sometimes has a bug where I can't maximize the window or I lose one of the sidebars.

July 15, 2021

Have used to make several small design projects come to life. I'm not a graphic artist by any means but this free easy to use app, made me feel competent with simple design projects.

Pros

its free an comes with a reasonable amount of features, hard to go wrong. Its not as nice as some of the paid ones of course, but it gets the job done for most applications

Cons

Nothing to dislike when considering that its free. I mean the old expression beggars cant be choosers comes to mind.
