Some excellent features, like background removal, are even available in the free plan. I found it better than Canva in so many ways. Pros I've recently started using Picmaker, and overall I feel it's an excellent replacement for Buffer + Canva. It has templates for almost all use cases, simplifying things for our designers. I liked the option of creating a brand kit; it helped our new team members quickly follow the basic brand guidelines. Cons It has some learning curve if you move from Canva due to its extensive feature set, but overall this tool is simple enough to get started in a couple of weeks. Apart from that, I feel the categorisation of uploaded assets can be improved a bit. Review Source SS Sumit S.

It is an easy-to-use design tool that makes the design process fast and effortless. Whether you are creating graphics for social media, presentations or marketing, the templates and features are ideal for producing professional-looking visuals. It has certainly made my design process more streamlined. Pros Picmaker makes designing so simple and fun! I love the wide variety of templates and how customizable everything is. The AI-powered suggestions are a game-changer, saving me so much time. Cons Sometimes the platform can be a bit slow when loading larger designs, which can interrupt the workflow. It would be great if they could improve the performance in this area Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) I made the switch because Picmaker offers more design flexibility, an easy-to-use interface, and AI-powered features that save me a lot of time. It’s also more tailored to my needs for creating professional visuals quickly.

It's a pretty good "pic maker", image editing tool to make some simple designs that you can use to market yourself online. If you are looking for an alternative to Canva, this is pretty similar and might be a good alternative. If you're looking for a simple, easy to use image editing tool for blog feature images, facebook covers, instagram stories, youtube thumbnails, etc., then this will pretty much do a good job. If you're looking for more advanced image manipulation features, then this might not be it. If their prices would be lower, then this would really be a good deal. Maybe if they make a smaller starter plan for like $2/mo, without the premium images where they just include the features they've developed like Smart Resize, folders, brand kits, then they might have more success. There are many other tools in this field and it's getting pretty competitive which is why I think that prices need to go down or massive innovation up. Pros Pretty nice Canva alternative, but more limited... more like Canva just for Web or Canva minus the Print products templates. For me it doesn't matter since I didn't use that in Canva anyway. This is great if you're using it for thumbnail photos, Facebook cover photos for groups or pages, instagram stories or facebook stories, blog banner or post featured image, etc. So basically all the daily web-related stuff that isn't too complicated. The best feature I see is that you get to search through for photos from different free photo providers like Unsplash, Pexels, etc. Just make sure you select a free photo if you don't want to pay more. This feature is very good because it basically searches and displays photos using your keyword from all the providers they have, which increases the chances of you getting a good photo, without having to visit each gallery individually and search each one. Saves a lot of time. It also has some nice tone filters if you want to play around with it to match your website design colors and stuff. It does feel faster than Canva, but it's also lighter. Cons The company behind this tool is pretty much using every opportunity to either try to make you upgrade your plan, or pay extra for images, which is why it's important to make sure to select the free ones if you don't want to pay. Even after you upgrade they'll still have some elite image that require you to pay. The editing is pretty good and it does work in the Firefox browser, not just Chrome, but it's features aren't all that spectacular aside from the search function which accesses multiple databases of free photos. It mostly feels like it's a Canva copy, without any innovation, which is okay if that's the starting point. It's annoying that if you don't pay attention you might add a photo, create your whole design around that photo and colors and then only at the end, when you've finished, they tell you that it costs extra. Switched from [Stencil](https://www.capterra.com/p/164335/Stencil/)[PixTeller](https://www.capterra.com/p/164413/PixTeller/)[Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/)[Pixelied](https://www.capterra.com/p/213020/Pixelied/) Pixteller is a bit more complex as it's mostly more for animation purposes. Pixlied is another Canva alternative. Review Source SK Satoshi K.

Even though you are not a professional designer and do not know how to use complicated programs, you can make good designs in few clicks. Love it! Pros Variety of templates. I can make almost any type of designs with this service.And it is super easy to use. I just can make best designs by few clicks. I also like the quality of their BG remover. I even can export the picture that I removed BG. I can use those BG transparent pictures for video editing softwares too. Cons They have variety of templates but less numbers of designs compare to Canva. I hope they will add more and more templates. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Picmaker had a life time deal that time. So I got to be sure that it would be a great chance for me not to pay to Canva anymore. And the quality of software is almost the same as Canva or even better (exepct the number of templates). So It became a neccesary tool for me. Review Source MW Matthew W. OWner Computer Games Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good, but some features buggy" April 5, 2023 3.0 I mainly use it to make youtube thumbnails, and it does it pretty quick Pros It simple to use, i can use it anywhere. It does make something simpler and can produce pretty good results fast. Cons I started using pic maker originally for bg remover. Then that got put behind a paywall, which was annoying. As it was a reason i picked them over one of their competitors. Sometimes some of thea features get buggy, like selection and will dissepar then come back. the BG remover is sometimes hit or miss too. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Reason for choosing Picmaker At the time picmaker had a free bgremover. its no longer free though. Review Source AM Andrew M. CEO Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Picmaker is a great alternative to Canva and other image creation tools!" May 16, 2023 5.0 I really like Picmaker and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-use alternative to more sophisticated software (I moved to Picmaker from Photoshop(!)) Pros I'm able to work quickly in Picmaker. The background removal tool works well, as do the image manipulation tools. I also really like having quick access to a lot of free stock images. Cons Asset management could, perhaps, be improved (though I do wonder if this is more because I haven't taken the time to wrap my head around the logic behind their asset management). Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) I needed something easier/faster to use and less expensive. Review Source KZ Kaitorin Z. Student Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Competitor To Canva" May 23, 2023 5.0 I use Picmaker to spread knowledge and get attention to the subject while doing so. To the people around me and myself. Pros The features it had and the way better filter system, being able to distinguish key terms. Less finicky to change and move texts plus images. More organized with the options of how and what to edit. Lastly simple layout for understanding where you're at to where you wanna go. Cons Processing could be quicker especially with big projects. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Being able to move and change things was finicky. There layout would be quite confusing when trying to find what you're looking for to when you edit your project.

Pros It has simple-enough raster features that I've been able to throw together quick graphics that illustrate the points I write about. Great tool! Cons Some of the UI isn't as intuitive as I'd like it to be. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) I wanted to explore what alternatives were out there to Canva. I also wanted to see how much faster I could develop great-looking graphics as opposed to the time it takes to assemble them in Canva and end equivalent products.

Pros The user interface is clean an d beginner-friendly button—they saved me a lot of time when creating social media posts and YouTube thumbnails. Cons The template selection is great, but some categories could use more variety. Also, a few features lag when editing large files. Review Source SJ Samyak J.

Pros The user interface of picmaker is easy to use.Newbie does not have to spend time understanding the tool. He/She just need to open the tab and can start working without any headache. Cons Picmaker should now start providing customized solutions because every company has its own needs and solving issues all issues using one tool is not possible. Also sometimes there is a case where comapny does not need some features present in picmaker and removing those features will make the tool more simple to use.
