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 ----- ### "Images Turn Out Lovely When Using PicMonkey" — 5.0/5 > **JAZE** | *3 September 2021* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been making amazing photo projects as of late with this software. I upload my image into the program, I fine-tune my exposure settings, I add an effect or two just to see how much better my image can become, then I just play around with some of their touch-up tools to make the image really stand out and Voilà, I got me a masterpiece. > > **Cons**: Something bizarre keeps happening when I use PicMonkey though. It just freezes. In making sure that it wasn't anything on my end I tried it on 3 different PCs and the the same result would happen eventually. One time it happened when I was working on an image for about 3 hours, of course silly me, I hadn't saved my work yet so I had to start all over again which was a huge bummer. They might want to look into that. > > There are so many templates to play around with that I literally have to dedicate a whole day to picking out which one does it for me the most. PicMonkey bought out the photo-editing genius in me that I never knew existed because I usually take video-editing seriously, photos were never really my thing but now they totally are. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Picmonkey is an excellent tool to edit your photos easily ...\!\!\!" — 4.0/5 > **Asdrúbal Javier** | *8 August 2019* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: In principle picmonkey is a super easy to use and intuitive image editor type tool, this tool has a variety of options that allows you to work smoothly and quickly, has options to cut, create adjustments to the image, add stickers, resize images and even make designs, it has a variety of presets that help your photo look super cool, I like this tool also because I can create my collage, add text among other things, and most importantly it has lots of tutorials with what you can clarify your doubts, is the type of programs that you do not need to be a professional to use it, but if you wanted to use it professionally you could, apart from talking about the price since it is cheap compared to other publishers, the work is automatically saved what Allow nothing to be erased from what you are doing, nothing worse than wasting all the time created, that is why I love this program. > > **Cons**: The only thing I can say about this program is that it has a problem with large formats, it should be possible to import and export large-scale sizes which would make it more attractive, it usually has errors when you enter a high quality medium file. > > Picmonkey has been a great tool in my work, it has introduced new dynamics for work, and it has been useful even in my family, since my nephews use it to create their images, every day I think that this type of programs while more flexible, They are better. ----- ### "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
