Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PhotoScape is the most preferred" September 13, 2022 5.0 This software is totally free and that was so good for me while working. Pros First, I can edit with so many different choices. Second I can choose what I desire from several designs and control the quality of my photos. Cons It doesn't support all the languages and that needs to be developed. Alternatives considered [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) Reason for choosing PhotoScape X Because PhotoScape is free and doesn't afford me any money.

Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pro results for non professionals" May 4, 2023 5.0 My advertising media has improved hugely since using Photoscape X: in fact, my pics are being used on the website of my professional body as a result, which is a huge honour and bonus! Pros I'm no pro, but I can quickly produce top-quality images and ads for my business. A vast range of features, effects and tweaks allow me to refine my pics, plus tutorials and tips to get the most out of the software. I've improved my creativity massively since I started using Photoscape X. Cons Sometimes I feel that I need more refinement with a few of the tools, although that could be my lack of knowledge and experience. Finding time to properly sit down with the tutorials would probably rectify my issues.

Marketing Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### " The view towards Photoscape." July 19, 2021 3.0 I have always liked it, it was part of my youth and now I use it in my work. The functions have changed little so do a good job using it. It is nostalgic software. From the access to the functionality of the photos, it is very good at showing all the photos in the folders present on the computer at the same time. Pros The program is part of the software used since the beginning of the internet. At the time, one of the best possible tools to edit your photos. Its very ease of use is what continues to attract attention. The handling of the edition follows is fast and very understandable for all ages (something necessary in a world where not everyone has a computer knowledge). Each function is specially marked to stand out, so it is possible to use Photoscape without having knowledge of photo editing at high level. Cons What I like the least is the functionality of the stickers, the letters or the lines that can be edited for the photographs. It is essential that a competitive product is present in the minds of the youngest, so that it is eye-catching. Review Source ACD Aline Cristina D.

" February 20, 2020 5.0 My experience with this software, in general, is very good, it has always made it easier for my designers to make the arts. I recommend this software because it is not necessary to have the knowledge to handle it, it is easy and practical to move. Pros What I like most about this software is the ease of handling, it contains several tools that make it easy to create a designer. The photo resizing tool's function is excellent. I always use it to help me create my social network posts of the right size for each one. Cons The icons inside the software should be more updated, with new figurines to make the designer arts more creative. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Because you can access it through a browser, there is no need to download it to your computer. In my opinion, this is a great advantage of software because this way our computer is not overloaded. Review Source NS Nikki S. Founder Photography Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple edits in seconds " August 16, 2022 4.0 I processed photos from two events with Photoscape X, the results were fine however I quickly began researching alternatives that Pros Photoscape X is beginner friendly, it's something I would recommend for students. The editing tools are easy to locate and easy to understand. Simple edits like corrections or enhancements can be made in seconds. For professionals it's something that can be used very quickly without a lot of hassle, it's very fast and nimble. Batch processing with Photoscape X was successful and time saving. If users like Photoscape X but want more, the same company has a more advanced pro software available. Cons This is not a full fledged editing software and I wouldn't be able to produce the quality that I want with this product only. Most professional photographers will want and need more. I was also disappointed with the text and typography, there aren't a lot of options. Overall it feels old and "dusty", the customer support could be given some much needed attention. Switched from [FotoJet](https://www.capterra.com/p/171345/FotoJet-Designer/) I wanted to "add on" to FotoJets capabilities Review Source AC Anil C.

Pros PhotoScape X is important tool to create images and editing them. It works well and it is really important tool. Cons PhotoScape X has no bad feature at all. It works well for editing. Switched from [RawTherapee](https://www.capterra.com/p/234579/RawTherapee/) It is essential tool to use but you can work with more than one tool. Review Source TS Tina S. Author Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better for professionals" January 3, 2021 5.0 Good. I will continue to use Photoscape for making collages. Pros I especially like the collage option. It's the main feature for which I used Photoscape X. It has many frame options to combine and position the images you want. I also used it to blur some text in order to hide some details that were personal. It has many other functions like adding text, stickers, and removing blemishes, but if you're looking for a software to create quick social media posts or posters, it might be a bit difficult for beginners. Cons It's not always easy to find the functions you're looking for. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Adobe Illustrator has many other features that I don't need. It's best for experienced graphic designers.

Cons I do not like anything about it so far, it provides a lot of features and I find it to be easy to use. Review Source DB Diane B. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend" June 23, 2025 5.0 PhotoScape X is a valuable tool. As a free program, it's a life saver for those of us who can't afford pricey alternatives. Pros The ability to make subtle changes in color balance, temperature, and contrast is essential to my work. Cons Adding text is a little awkward, but it works well. A few more tools geared to editing still life photos would be helpful. Review Source HW Helmut W. Owner Photography Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Payment for pro version" March 19, 2025 5.0 Great product with lots of choices. Does everything for me. Pros I have been using PhotoScape X for some time very successfully. I now want to buy the Pro version but the payment section on the website only takes money from the USA. I am a South African and it won't take my Visa payment. please help!!! Cons Everything works for me. I need the Pro version desperately.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Photographer Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An almost "lightroom" without so much pretension." July 6, 2021 5.0 From all the years I've been using it, it's always a lifesaver to have it with me. Not only because of its ease of use, but in less difficult jobs, it is the best ally. It achieves results equal to those that can be achieved working with more complex products. Pros Completely intuitive. It is a product that allows the user not only to "get out of trouble", but also to make small editions, add texts and make corrections to photographs professionally in minutes. It should be noted that these photographic corrections must be without giant pretensions. If what you are looking for is a good color correction and small editions, it is an excellent program. It is also worth mentioning its other functions, such as filter templates and batch photo editing. Cons There were giant improvements. However, taking into account that social networks have no pause, and it is mostly a product used by "amateur" people, I would think it would be appropriate to add a section of (pre-established) formats designed for the social networks of the moment.

From the very beginning i haven't encountered any issues with the software itself. Pros I have been using Photoscape for over 3 years now and i absolutely adore it. It's easy to use, quick with many features - even on the free version. And the paid version is extremely affordable as well. Whenever a friend of colleague has asked what i would re comment for a beginner , who hasn't studied editing or photography. I always suggest Photoscape. Cons There really isnt any issues that i have personally encountered with the software itself, if there were to be a con is that it works best on a pc/laptop that has a fast cpu and enough disk space. the fuller your drive, the slower the program will be.

Works great on computers of modest use because it is very light. Don't be fooled by its simple appearance, Photoscape has features that allow great productivity at work.
