Easy to use and helps me to build the branding of my online business. Thank you very much \! > > **Cons**: To be honest i am satisfied about all PicMonkey features and services. Keep going well \!\!\! > > Today editing pictures should be intuitive and fast. And PicMonkey provides these 2 needs \! ----- ### "Affordable photo editing software" — 4.0/5 > **Nikki** | *July 29, 2022* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Picmonkey provides most basic photo editing tools, crop, filter, collage maker, etc. A library of templates is available, to edit templates a drag and drop feature is provided. There is a faunt library and text can be manipulated with shadowing or curvature. Cloud storage is available and your Picmonkey files can be accessed from any device when you log in. Files can be shared to most social media or through email. Picmonkey is not hard to use, customer support is provided. Updates and improvements are made occasionally, recently background remover was added. > > **Cons**: Picmonkey does not rank high for me in tools or library quality. I have used other software with many more editing tools provided, and more options within those tools (for example more filters in the filter tool). To download any of your work you'll need to pay for a subscription. The cheaper subscription on Picmonkey provides the same as the free version of other software. > > I successfully edited many photos with picmonkey, and I created social media ads for my business. While there weren't as many tools as I wanted and the library wasnt as vast as I would like, I was happy with the outcome of my work on Picmonkey. I created our first logo with Picmonkey and customers complimented me on it many times. ----- ### "Be a graphic designer at the end of the Day \!" — 3.0/5 > **Gamya** | *December 1, 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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 . > > Great \! We enjoy designing from Picmonkey and we engage in social media more because of this amazing software . ----- ### "Achieve professional results with amateur level editing skills" — 5.0/5 > **Mohammed** | *July 20, 2021* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about picmonkey is the ease of use. The very user-friendly interface combines perfectly with a well stocked media library to enable me churn out graphic content in the shortest possible time. Our team presentations and marketing emails have never been boring since I started using PicMonkey to design content materials. > > **Cons**: I am still hoping an advanced version will be released with more advanced editing and video-work tools for the much heavier projects. But I guess the current version was created for the niche market of unsophisticated graphic design work. > > With PicMonkey, I am able to create the most amazing and engaging content for our community outreach programs. It was courtesy PicMonkey that I chanced upon my graphic designing side hustle -- when some banners I had created with PicMonkey was such a huge hit that I was contracted by our project partners to create same for them. And it's been one satisfied client after another since then. ----- ### "Most user friendly, inexpensive image software" — 5.0/5 > **Julia** | *July 6, 2021* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The image and video gallery is excellent. It has a diverse set of content and we use it daily. They keep up to date with what is happening around the world and have images and video footage that we can then use in our social media and web presence. The tools are very user friendly and we love the new features that Picmonkey keeps adding to our account; remove background tool, fill text with image etc. , sound for some of the video and more. We love the Effects and Texture features because quite literally in 2 seconds you can change the feel or ambiance of a photo just by adding one of these filters. The photo edit feature is great for the money you pay. Not everyone has the time to sit and use Adobe or Lightroom etc. and navigate through the 1000’s of edit properties. Picmonkey has made edits super easy and gives you the tools you use the most in an easy to find and easy to use format. We also really like the templates already set up for us. IF we want to do just an instagram post, the template and sizing is right there and they have templates for text available just for instagram. They have taken the guess work out and made is extremely simple. For people like us who are not educated in Media etc. this is a game changer. We don’t have a large organization so we can not afford to pay a Social media or online communications expert, we do the work ourselves. So keeping it simple is key. > > **Cons**: It would be better if multiple images could be shared instead of one by one. A more diverse set of graphics would be helpful. For example: basic icons for construction, church, Christmas would be helpful. > > Excellent, user friendly, great value for the fee, all in one place media tool. Love working with Picmonkey and won’t use anything else\! ----- Page: 1 / 47\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2052242/picmonkey?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2052242/picmonkey) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
