A great tool to resize images for socials with any aspect ratio and complete a wide variety of photo editing processes. > > **Cons**: I have zero cons or negative things to say about PicMonkey ----- ### "Affordable photo editing software" — 4.0/5 > **Nikki** | *29 July 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. ----- ### "It's okay." — 4.0/5 > **Antoinette** | *23 June 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I don't really use it as much, but I like the fact I can make customized videos. > > **Cons**: The fact it doesn't have a lot of stuff that I can use to promote my work when I have up and coming books. ----- ### "Achieve professional results with amateur level editing skills" — 5.0/5 > **Mohammed** | *20 July 2021* | Nonprofit Organisation 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. ----- ### "Fantastic Web Based Design Functionality" — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *4 January 2020* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Picmonkey is great for creative projects if you want a web based program. I like the functionality of using the browser or app, sharing a company account, syncing projects with colleagues and more. It offers many simple solutions that make using it quick and easy. > > **Cons**: I ultimately left Picmonkey because I needed more robust design functionality so I embraced Adobe Illustrator. > > I loved using PicMonkey when I managed another organization because I could delegate design projects to temporary workers or volunteers and they were able run with it. It is solid program for quick and dirty design projects. It is probably my favorite out of similar type programs. ----- Page: 1 / 47\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/330700/picmonkey?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/330700/picmonkey) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
