### "Editing Pictures The Easy Way"

June 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

Easy to share and edit pictures quick and efficiently, a great user interface with easy and simple controls and settings. Also collages and videos editing is made incredibly easy with Picmonkey.

Cons

The lag of it being an internet app can be insane at times. There are moments where changes are saved and times where crashing is abrupt and occurring often.

### "Worth it if you use it a lot"

December 20, 2018

5.0

My experience with PicMonkey is very good. I use it when I need to edit a big amount of pictures, then I pay one month fee and do them all during that month. But it is not something I pay regularly every month.

Pros

I love about PicMonkey that it is very easy to use even for users with zero knowledge on photo editing. You can forget other professional editors with a gazillion options that you will never need. PicMonkey has everything you really need for editing your family or professional pictures. It doesn't use technical names in their buttons, instead they use common language which I love.

Cons

I don't like the fact that they used to have a free user account and now they don't. You have 7 days free trial and after that you need to buy one of their options or leave. The price is only worth it if you mean to use it a lot.

### "Picmonkey's one feature that Canva can't get right!"

September 10, 2022

5.0

I enjoy using Picmonkey for my product mockup. I wish they would add more graphics and allow you to save your uploaded images.

Pros

I LOVE LOVE Picmonkey's shadow features. I've been using it to make all the shadows for my product mockup because Canva didn't have it. And when they introduced it, it was not consistent. Picmonkey's ability to do shadows with multiple images and how it doesn't disappear when you drag and drop a new image into the existing image is a lifesaver for me. I will love Picmonkey forever for this one feature.

Cons

They don't have measurements of your images so it's annoying to judge and adjust the sizing in the canvas. I also don't like that they don't save your uploaded images as Canva does. That would make life so much easier.

### "PicMonkey Is My Go To Image Editor"

December 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

The HUB feature made this software even more useful so I can easily access and edit my images (in saved layer format) from any computer with internet connection!

Cons

I do wish that we could edit .AI and .EPS files

### "Robust photo editor and graphic design tool for beginners"

August 14, 2019

4.0

A well-rounded and intuitive photo editing tool that will cut down your design time and create stunning graphics.

Pros

PicMonkey's ability to make photo editing and graphic design quick and efficient is it's best selling feature. The simplicity of tools and editing in PicMonkey makes it a great option for someone who doesn't want to spend countless hours in the design process. This software serves beginner or novice users best as it's a great introduction to editing and graphic design.

Cons

It lacks a lot of the more complex functionalities that you would find in programs from Adobe such as Photoshop or Illustrator. PicMonkey is a more slimmed down version of Adobe programs and isn't going to serve an advanced graphic designer well.

### "Mediocre"

July 6, 2023

3.0

Pros

PicMonkey è un software ottimo ed è carino da usare per edit semplici.

Cons

A mio avviso, questo software è rivolto ad un pubblico più giovanile; purtroppo non penso che chi edita per professione possa trarne un vantaggio particolare.

### "Love Pic Monkey."

May 12, 2020

5.0

Totally happy and satisfied. By far the best photo editing app around.

Pros

Out of all the photo editing apps, PicMonkey is my favorite. I used to use the free trial and just signed up for a paid account. I love that I can import my own fonts -- and you can even do that on the free trial.

Cons

I do wish the monthly fee was a little cheaper. It is a bit steep but still worth it if you are going to use it everyday. It is a bit annoying that you can't download on the free trial, though.

Switched from

[Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/)

Because I can upload my own fonts and there's a background editor tool.

### "Excellent Product "

May 23, 2023

5.0

Pros

I use this to make Youtube thumbnails all the time. The templates are so easy to use. I also make Instagram posts and podcast thumbnails. It’s a must use for social media.

Cons

There are a lot of updates. It can be annoying to refresh the page.

### "Gets the job done"

September 4, 2023

3.0

I solely use PicMonkey for photo editing. I find that the price is a little high but the large amount of editing tools allows for endless playing in the photo editing process. It's almost overwhelming, in a good way! I use PicMonkey a lot for work, but it is also my go-to for personal projects.

Pros

Photo editing tools- endless options, the sky is literally the limit!

Cons

The price is my biggest issue. If you use all that PicMonkey has to offer, the price may be more justifiable, but I only edit with it. I have stuck it out though because I don't want to learn another photo editing platform when I have been using this one for so long.

### "Amazing"

August 22, 2019

5.0

Wonderful. Easy to use, great tools. Its basic and basic can be good when you need to do a quick edit of a photo.

Pros

Pic Monkey is phenomenal for all my marketing tasks. It allows me to be creative and create content that is engaging too. I love the cut out features it allows me to take images and add new background and really be creative with a stand image without having to use an advanced program like photoshop. So I can edit on the go.

Cons

There are so many photo editing apps to chose from. It's hard to find the perfect one to create exceptional content.

### "Dazzling photo editor"

August 13, 2023

5.0

With so many filters, shades and color options, I am happily overwhelmed with PicMonkey features.

Pros

PicMonkey is the most adorable photo editing software that creates dazzling photos suitable for website and printing.

Cons

I truly see no reason to be unhappy with PicMonkey, it is a complete package for photo alteration and editing.

### "Great Value - Took some time to understand"

April 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

For what it costs, PicMonkey really delivers as far as what you can do with it and photo editing. I would go so far as to title it as an amateur photoshop program. You can do all of the basic capabilities of Photoshop at a much cheaper price and you can even save your finished work in a folder to reconstruct at a later time. Great for work!

Cons

It took me a bit of time to truly feel like I could navigate it to the best of my ability. Now that I have the hang of it it isn't difficult but it definitely can be confusing at first.

PicMonkey has a wide array of options and graphics. It is easy to use. Many templates

Cons

### "PicMonkey for All Your Photo Editing Needs"

July 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

I liked the simplicity of the program. It was very clear what each feature did and how to use it. When you first get started with the program, there are even little pop ups that appear with helpful tips and pointers to get you familiar with using the program.

Cons

I sometimes had difficulty when it came to saving the picture project I was working on. That can be frustrating at times when you work on a project for some time and then it won't let you save, but thankfully it always let me eventually, just sometimes took a quick refresh to get it running again.

Love Pic Monkey...

Pros

The variety of images and graphics, and the many layers of overlays, texts and images makes this one of our top 5 tools when crafting content for our clients.

### "With pic Monkey I can develop my creativity."

July 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

I think this application is very good, with it I can edit and retouch photos, adding text, frames, changing color, cutting or resizing the image, I can also make collage and even beautiful designs for cards and I love that I can connect my account with facebook.

Cons

You have a free trial, but you must have an option to pay and it is very cumbersome that process of registration of credit card or paypal account, everything else I liked, it was worth the effort of the installation.

### "Outstanding tool with beautiful designs as well as layouts"

July 10, 2019

5.0

Overall I just love this tool.

Pros

It is indeed excellent software for editing photos. Another biggest advantage is that its phone app is super easy to use. It consists of better editing features than any other. It is very functional app. It is constantly updating and adding features with the passage of time. Additionally it is accessible on other devices too.

Cons

I like almost all its features and functionalities of this product. Its fun to use. I found it to be very user friendly. It is a flawless product. So there is not anything to be like least about it.

### "A great tool for editing photos for my business"

February 24, 2021

5.0

I use PicMonkey for my facebook posts and different graphics. IT is really nice that I don't have to have a subscription to a professional tool like Adobe Indesign to be able to make meaningful graphics for my business.

Pros

I love how easily accessible this tool is. Instead of having to feel like I have to be a pro at graphic design I can put together an image with tools that make sense to me as a lamen.

Cons

It's web-based, which can sometimes be awkward but it really serves to the tools benefit. The features can be updated without having to download new software.

### "So easy to use"

November 6, 2018

5.0

I use PicMonkey to edit and create images for our website, digital marketing, and more. Photoshop was too expensive and I didn't have the time to learn how to use it. PicMonkey is very affordable, and super easy to learn how to do all the edits and corrections I needed on my product photography, lifestyle images, collage images, and marketing pics. The layer feature works great for resizing product images to be consistent in size. I also use PicMonkey personally to edit images for Instagram and Facebook. There are fun effects that can be added, and adding text is super easy.

Pros

Very easy to use, was able to start working with images right away. Exports as high quality images.

Cons

I don't have anything negative to say about PicMonkey. It does everything I was looking for a program to do, and more!

### "Our pics look like professionals!"

September 9, 2019

5.0

We've been able to have beautiful marketing pieces using PicMonkey. People respond much more to imagery than a bunch of text, so we've found that using this tool to share our messaging has increased engagement, and it takes no time at all to use, so it's a no brainer for us.

Pros

PicMonkey is so easy to use - it takes no previous design knowledge or skills to create really beautiful imagery. And it's much more cost effective than many of its competitors, so it's great to purchase for teams who don't need all the bells and whistles of the larger, more expensive products.

Cons

There's nothing to dislike! The features and functions make it a very useful tool, and it's so easy to figure out that even the most novice marketer, designer, or influencer can pick it up quickly.
