Administrative assistant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Be a graphic designer at the end of the Day ! " December 1, 2022 3.0 Great ! We enjoy designing from Picmonkey and we engage in social media more because of this amazing software . Pros This software should be more popular among people since it has so many features for designing posts / Instagram stories / posts / presentations / YouTube Cons It is too expensive. Even as a company it’s hard to afford it . It would be better if the pricing is less . Review Source Tyler B. Freelance Graphic Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great Canva alternative!" April 15, 2019 4.0 Pros I'm a graphic designer that is very comfortable using more powerful design tools (Adobe suite of programs), but sometimes this is overkill. In situations where I need to put together a relatively simple graphic for social media or etc, it's nice to be able to turn to a program that's simpler, more streamline, and very easy to use. That's where PicMonkey comes it. It's a feature rich, intuitive way to quickly create images and designs. They've got a great set of templates for a variety of projects, or you can go from scratch. It's cut a lot of time out of my work day, by allowing me to whip things up that just simply would take me longer using other tools. Cons Like many of these online design tools, if you're not careful it is easy to fall into the trap of churning out stuff that feels very over done. Templates are both a blessing and a curse. Spend enough time online and you'll be able to start picking out images that were created using PicMonkey, Canva, and others. I'd recommend starting with a template, but then really putting in the effort to make it unique. It'll take a bit longer, but still less time than going from scratch in Adobe Illustrator or etc, and will be uniquely yours. On the template point, it can also feel a bit restrictive at times. There's a good selection with PicMonkey, but if you are needing to create something and there just isn't a template that is similar enough, you may have to calculate whether going from scratch is worth you're time, as editors like these are usually a bit more finicky to work with from scratch than something like the Adobe suite.

I really like the sharpening/clarity tool, as well as the "heal" tool to fix imperfections. Pros PicMonkey is extremely easy to use. When I've tried other softwares, they just don't compare. Other software systems don't have as many features you can use, especially at a free level. PicMonkey has great features for free users and also for paying customers. It can be a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it for what you get. Cons Some of the editing features could be improved a bit, but for the most part everything works pretty well. Sometimes the cost is a bit much per month, but I understand you have to charge something to keep a business going and profitable. Review Source TF Tarek F. Senior sales executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very nice app" February 28, 2023 5.0 It's solved my problems with pictures that needed an aesthetic touch Pros It is considered one of the practical, easy and daily-use app for some, due to the ease of use and the large number of its features Cons The least thing I liked was the lack of variety in its features Review Source Jannatin N. Full Time Student Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Need a quick edit! You've got it!" December 3, 2019 5.0 Overall, PicMonkey was a great experience and still continues to be one of the best sites I use to quickly make image edits and design from anywhere and on any device. I highly recommend this for beginners in editing as well since everything is clear and you can easily click through whatever options they have to choose what you want to use to edit with! Pros PicMonkey is the most easiest tool I've use to this date to make quick and simple graphic edits. I even get to edit my images, make them pop, add text, and more! I can make things with their templates or I can easily make stuff out of scratch. There is so much you can do with this software and everything is in large and easy to navigate through so you could get the best out of it when editing. Cons A lot of features to make your photos even better require a monthly membership, but I'll be honest, it is worth it. There is so much you can do with or without the membership but I enjoyed using this so much I just got it anyway.

February 6, 2020 5.0 Overall, PicMonkey has helped streamline our design process inhouse. We use PicMonkey for easy projects that don't need to be done using PhotoShop. Pros PicMonkey has a ton of great templates to use for different types of projects. I have found the Instagram templates & the Email Header templates to be most useful for our company, but they have plenty of others (Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Logo, etc.)! When I am hitting a design wall it's easy for me to jump in to PicMonkey for templates or even just for inspiration! They also have a great selection of fonts to choose from. Cons I would like the option to be able upload or download images in bulk. For example, if I am uploading multiple photos into a template, I have to do so one at a time. Or if I created multiple social media posts that need to be downloaded, I have to do so one at a time. When I am creating 30+ posts for the month, that can be time consuming. Review Source Mike F. Owner/ Founder/ Director of League Operations Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PicBasic" December 15, 2018 3.0 PicMonkey was one of the first free design editors I stumbled upon and I really liked it for the simple tasks I needed complete. I even sprung for the annual subscription just to have additional features. For a while, I would say it was the best of it's kind. However, new competition sprung up, and in an attempt to pivot to be more comprehensive, I feel that PicMonkey lost touch with why customers were using it in the first place. Others may appreciate the added changes, and those are people who are simply unaware that there are better choices elsewhere. Again, these changes are relatively recent, as PicMonkey's new iterations are still in beta testing, and maybe in the end it will be a more superior product than I'm giving it credit for. I just abide by the old saying "It's better to be a first rate version of yourself than a second rate version of someone else." Pros One of the only reasons I still use(d) PicMonkey was the ability to quickly create a collage of photos and add some filters, text, stickers. The low subscription cost was attractive, and I figured if it saved me additional formatting time it would take to use PhotoShop, it would be worth the deal. It's done the trick for the past few years. Cons The new BETA platform is a nightmare. PicMonkey had already been circumvented by other competitors offers free and easy design solutions like Canva, that allowed you to save and store your designs in the cloud. PicMonkey caught on and it trying to create a "hub" for design storage and a more sophisticated design platform, but in turn, they butchered what was once a simple and easy tool worthy of a low cost subscription in favor of cut rate imitator of more sophisticated platform. I won't be renewing when my subscription expires in January. Review Source RG Rhea G. COO Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PicMonkey is Awesome " May 9, 2023 5.0 It’s been very positive and we use it all the time. Pros I love how easy it is to use. You can just click, drag and make a background. Cons It could have more templates to choose from, and more font. Review Source Gede Ananda A. Chief Executive Officer Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quick edit never been easier" March 6, 2020 5.0 At first, I found this software when I was in the Airport when suddenly my client need to make some simple revision, at that time I don't bring my laptop with me and only got my tablet. I feel a little bit hesitant to buy the monthly membership for 7 dollars, thanks to the Trial Version it convinced me to buy the membership. If you need to do a quick edit like add a text, invert the color or move the image object this app is an answer. Pros I recommend this app to beginner graphic designer because this app makes editing like playing some minigames, it's fun and simple. The user interfaces the last time I used it is so Clean and simple, people without any basic knowledge of editing can use this. There's lot of great features in the paid version. Overall great apps to edit your picture if you not a tech-savvy guy or just started into graphic design Cons To be honest, because of the monthly subscription a lot of people will be looking down at this app, the Trial Version not helping much. I hope instead Picmonkey will be available in some Free Version way Review Source JM Jennipher M.

February 2, 2023 5.0 Ho conosciuto questo programma veramente molto anni fa, l'ho visto evolversi e ne ho apprezzato davvero ogni modifica. Durante gli anni è migliorato in tantissime cose, hanno aggiunto molte opzioni e funzionalità è diventato ad oggi molto valido e sempre e comunque semplice da utilizzare. Adoro PicMonkey. Ve lo consiglio vivamente. Pros La semplicità, la grafica i colori e la facilità di utilizzo sono punti a favore di questo programma. E' davvero alla portata di tutti. Lo adoro e lo utilizzo da davvero tanti, tanti anni. Cons Non posso trovare nulla che non mi piace di questo programma. L'ho conosciuto alla nascita ed ho assistito in prima persona a tutta la sua evoluzione, ha sempre seguito le tendenze senza mai perdere la propria struttura. Lo adoro. Review Source AO Angelica O.

Gradually I discovered several very interesting features and today I use it as a visual support for my work. Thanks to it I was able to create an innovative presentation that guaranteed me job promotion, invitations for an important event and posters, all using the templates provided by the site. I appreciate the various choice options and the ability to customize Cons I've been using this editor since 2010, when I started using it "for fun" by editing my personal photos.

February 19, 2019 4.0 My overall opinion of PicMonkey is positive! I have use the software hundreds of times over the course of the last couple of years and have found it very valuable to my business and marketing. As said above, I am able to quickly and easily edit my photos without the hassle of learning a difficult software. I also appreciate all of the presets that they have available; they allow me to fix the photo within seconds!! Pros PicMonkey is super helpful when I am at home editing photos and using them for my website. I am able to quickly login and crop, resize, or reshape an image without the hassle of a more complicated software like Adobe Photoshop. I have used PicMonkey countless times to help me with marketing and growing my business and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to quickly and easily edit their content. Cons The one thing I don't like about the software is that now they charge you per month to use their service. When I started using it, it was a free online service so when I found out there was a charge, it was hard for me to get accustomed to. I also don't like that there is no number to call for customer service. They responded to my email within a couple of days, but I was concerned that my billing questions would not be answered in a timely manner through email. They did prove me wrong, but it wasn't comforting knowing they may or may not respond.

Cons I don’t like the transition lag clicking to a different feature within the app . Review Source kZ karima Z. designeur Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love PicMonkey " March 30, 2019 5.0 I use PicMonkey for straightforward content pictures to make something emerge pleasantly on a website page or even Facebook. I adore cites and other content on Photos and appreciate playing to make things eye getting... indeed, even only the content itself ,and I use PicMonkey for designing solicitations, declarations, and different printables. Before, if the webpage solidified or I lost web association, I'd lose my work. At the point when the center was presented, that issue was settled and that made PicMonkey my go to for my designing needs. Pros I like about PicMonkey that it is anything but difficult to utilize notwithstanding for clients with zero information on photograph altering. You can overlook other expert editors with a gazillion choices that you will never require. PicMonkey has all that you truly requirement for altering your family or expert pictures. It doesn't utilize specialized names in their catches, rather they utilize normal language which I adore. Cons I don't care for the way that they used to have a free client record and now they don't. You have 7 days free preliminary and after that you have to get one of their choices or leave. The cost is just justified, despite all the trouble in the event that you intend to utilize it a great deal. Review Source NC Nsanzabaganwa C. Desktop publisher Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great video, photo editing and design software on the go." June 24, 2022 4.0 Pros Intuitive interface and clean. Software is light and load faster for such advanced editing features which tend to make software heavy. Collaborative editing is the favourable. In this era of working from home, gig-based jobs, it makes it easy for a team to collaborate without wasting time and space to be together. Unlimited cloud storage for pro and business plans Cons Basic plan has very few features. Others need pro and business plans. I would add the ability to upload fonts in basic plan. Review Source MA Michelle A. Seamstress Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Make your photos stand out!" March 22, 2021 4.0 You can specifically edit your Facebook cover photo or even photos for intended Instagram posts with PicMonkey. Social media isn't going away anytime soon and it is fun to make your photos look the best they possibly can. Pros There are many photo editing programs out there and I have certainly tried a lot of them. I have to say that PicMonkey is by far my favorite. It is a great program for beginners, or anyone who really hasn't edited photos before. You do not need any previous experience of photo editing to be able to use PicMonkey. I have an online business and I have used PicMonkey to create banners, crop and edit photos of my product, as well as add fonts. I love that you can import your own fonts. It allows you to make whatever you are creating much more customizable and to tailor it to your preference. The "Auto Adjust" feature works great to fix a photo that needs the color corrected or brightened with a single click. I use PicMonkey to create the flyer I put in each product I ship out and I have received some excellent feedback on the quality of the photos on this flyer. I use the collage feature specifically, allowing me to have the maximum number of pictures of different products for sale on a single page. I have been able to edit my photos from simple to eyecatching with this software. I have also used PicMonkey to edit family photos and upload them to create calendars. This past Christmas I created two calendars this way and they were great Christmas presents for my parents and in-laws. Cons You only get a 7 day trial before you have to commit to purchase. Another con is that you can only upload or download images one at a time. If I am trying to upload multiple photos onto a template, there is no option to choose all 30 at once and I think they should fix this feature. Review Source Abigail L. Member Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use PicMoney Premium for my small business and website" February 16, 2018 5.0 They have templates available to help make infographics. I am sure someone with actual design experience would find the software limiting but for someone like me with no design experience, this is very helpful. Pros The editing software is not complicated to use. I can click through and work on a project without getting frustrated or confused like other more complicated software. I make create Pinterest images and edit images for my blog and website. I use the software so frequently that it was a no-brainer for me to upgrade to the paid membership though I did work for years on the free version. I like the extra editing tools I can use after having upgraded my membership. I run a small business and I am not sure I will need any other photo editing software! Review Source fA fahd A.

Crochet Designer. Ltd. Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent online photo editing product." April 17, 2018 5.0 I'm very comfortable with the platform now since I use it everyday. I find it is super quick to make a photo edit or collage for my blog posts. Good value for the price I pay. Pros Ease of use. Lots of fonts and frames and everything can be easily resized, dragged and dropped. You can balance white color, move elements in layers back and forth and even sample colors with the eye dropper tool to match up your colors for fonts, design elements and photos. Cons Sometimes it glitches for me and nothing seems to work on the screen...but if I move my cursor to the top left of the screen and then back to the center it responds again. I also wish there were new updated templates in the social media template section. They haven't changed in a couple years. Review Source Sarah P.

User-friendly and all. Pros Saves me money and still gets the job done compared to some of the known alternatives which I won't touch on. This is much easier and faster to use. Cons You may encounter issues with the login options, other than that, it's a beast! Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) This is way simpler to use.

I have used PicMonkey for the last 5 years. I have seen it transform over the years, becoming even better than what it use to be. I like to see these improvements! Pros PicMonkey is user friendly and can be used for an array of services! I love how many different templates and fitted sizes there are to choose from! Cons The filters are not the best. I think there should be an option to buy filters from professional photographers, kind of like how you can do it on lightroom. Profressional filters would make this software untouchable!

PicMonkey is my go-to photo editing software for my blog. Pictures of food really pop once I use the software's capability Pros I love how much editing ability I have. From a raw photo, I can: crop, lighten/darken, adjust color/hue/saturation, use filters for creative looks, add borders, and even add text with creative fonts and colors. If I can imagine it? I can make it happen with PicMonkey Cons With the latest upgrade, they added a hub that adds an extra step. Once I got used to it, I don't mind it now...but I loved how simple it was before. Reason for choosing PicMonkey Because it offered the greatest variety of photo edit options and filters Review Source Nwodo P. Creative director Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for editing pictures and social media posts. " January 13, 2023 4.0 PicMonkey is a fantastic application with very few drawbacks compared to its many advantages. The drawbacks, however, are too minor to be seen. So go ahead and download the app or try out the desktop version of this application to enhance the appearance of your photographs! Pros The product is very easy to use even for a beginner who can just use a template and edit it to their taste. I love the fact that you can try the app for free and still get what you want but it is advisable to go for paid plan. Great assets and templates and a nice autosave feature so you can continue from where you stopped anytime. Cons Inability to add a preferred background yourself and also can't download your design in the free plan. Review Source Craig M. J. Managing Member / Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If you are not a graphic artist but, you work with photos, PicMonkey is for you!" February 22, 2018 4.0 Great looking basic photo editing for people who know nothing about ... photo editing. Pros I can't draw stick people but, I do a lot of writing and that writing often requires the use of images. I also maintain two web sites and they have a lot of images. My needs are not that sophisticated but, every piece of photo editing software that I looked at was may more than what I needed and I couldn't even figure out how it worked. PicMonkey is simple to use, does everything that I need, and has never not provided me with the tools to make any image look better! Cons Really, it's great! My only complaint is that I upgraded to the premium version of this program when the removed the ability to save edited documents from the free version. I can edit but not save? What's the point? Now, the save function (they call it export), does not always work. You click the button and it does nothing, However, right below that they have a link to download the saved image (no difference than their export) and, it always works. Minor but annoying.
