PicMonkey

Pros

PicMonkey is easy to use and has a lot of fuctions, in a few click you're done editing photos. I like it for simple edits.

Cons

I woulnd't recommend it if you need to edit a lot. If it's just for small edits, then it's okay.

Pros

It is soooooooooo easy to use! I'm a photographer and not a computer tech so ease of use is a must-have. I have tried many different types of software for my photo manipulation and photo restoration business but this is the only one I've liked thus far!

Cons

I wish they had even more options for photo manipulation. In fact, the only thing I liked about Photoshop was the idea I could pick certain things to cut out of the picture and certain things to keep in the picture with ease. With PicMonkey it is unfortunately all or nothing. Your only option is to erase it all by hand, piece by piece for hours, or erase the entire background. There is no picking and choosing. That's why I gave PicMonkey 4 stars and not 5!

Pros

Originally, it seemed easy enough for a non technical novice who just wanted to edit a few pics...offered a free trial so I jumped on it, knowing (or at least being led to believe) I could cancel it before the trial runs out, pretty standard stuff.

Cons

The one feature I really needed was background removal and editing - I have some specific images I need to be made transparent to overlay onto other images and b/c there was a free trial, I said let me try it. As soon as I went to try it, it wanted me to upgrade to pro but as long as I was in a trial, I said ok, in fact it said, trial ends and gave me a date in early March, so all good. Well, along with removing the background, removed a significant portion of my image. I went and cancelled my trial immediately, 5 min into the trial and see that they already billed me for the full year.

Pros

Program is drag-and-drop and instantly gratifying.

Cons

The app has less usability than the desktop version.

Pros

I started using PicMonkey 4 years ago and have been using it ever since. I also use Photoshop, Lightroom, and Canva but routinely go back to Picmonkey as I find a lot of their user interface to just be - well EASY. It is very intuitive and spits out great results.

Cons

Sometimes it can glitch and freeze up which is frustrating.

Reasons for Switching to PicMonkey

The product is easy to use. Anyone can learn to use the features if they spend a short amount of time browsing the options. I have personally used the product for 10 plus years and keep coming back to it for a quick edit. Good quality for a GREAT price.

Cons

Honestly, and this is my honest opinion, there is nothing I do not like at this time.

Pros

PicMonkey has a lot of tools for me to edit my images. There's fine-tune editing but also many effects and textures I can add. The software is very easy to use. Great free features.

Cons

It is not the best option for professionals but perfect for non-designers.

Pros

Very easy to use, several templates, intuitive implementation.

Cons

Lack of tutorials, no advanced features (if you need more professional/elaborate results).

Reasons for Switching to PicMonkey

Pros

I love the simplicity of the product and the ease of editing pictures. I came across PicMonkey many years ago when the software I had been using was no longer functioning.

Cons

Through the years, the fees have increased and less features were available without upgrading.

Pros

PicMonkey is one of the best editing sites I have found for quick edits.

Cons

I wish the free trial was a little longer, it is pretty short to have to make a decision on whether or not to purchase.

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.

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.

Pros

I did not have anything that I found to be likable with this.

Cons

Customer Service is non existent and rude.

Pros

I love how quick and easy PicMonkey is to use, especially editing photos. I've used it the last two years to create student photo pages. The kids and families love the sweet keepsake. I love that with PicMonkey it doesn't take a lot of my time or energy!

Cons

The price is the only drawback. As the director of a small, nonprofit preschool we don't have a lot of room in the budget for extras.

Pros

One of the most affordable editing software out there. Originally I was drawn to it because it was free, but there are some things available for purchase that won't break the bank. And are a nice touch!

Cons

Nothing that I can think of. I'm pretty pleased with it.

Pros

I like the ease and quality that the application offers for editing photos or any image, in addition to being free.

Cons

what I least like is that the application is not able to save our edits (photos) in the form of files in process, only photos with completed editing.
