I really love using PicMonkey it is my go to graphic design tool. I use it for online graphics as well as designing print graphics.

Pros

I love that I can use the transparent background feature and make logos. I also love the fact that I can edit pictures right in the system while I'm creating, fixing blemishes, adjusting coloring and so many helpful tools are at your fingertips.

Cons

Picture edits are not completely customizable and you can't use presets like LightRoom to edit pictures.

Response from Shutterstock

Hi Abigail. We appreciate your review of PicMonkey - thank you! Wanted you to know that there are a few ways you can customize your edits. You can paint on/erase off an effect so it only affects a particular area of your image, you have a fade control, and quite a few of our effects have sliders to customize your look. For example, Blur has Focal Size, Edge Hardness, and Blur percentage sliders; Arcade has 6 sliders; and Posterize has 5 sliders, to name a few. Secondly, one of the biggies for people who really want to create a unique look for their images is the group within Edits called "Advanced Edits." There you'll find Color Changer, Clone, Dodge, Burn, and -- these ones are the heavy lifters -- Levels and Curves. Hope you try these, and please reach out to our Support department if you have questions. https://www.picmonkey.com/help/create-ticket

I could not get by without this program. I create graphics for multiple pen names and for clients and use this all the time. Totally sold on PicMonkey.

Pros

This program is a must-have for my business. I use it to design marketing graphics, book covers, etc. I use it EVER. SINGLE. DAY.

Cons

At one time there were lots of issues with the program having an error and losing my work, but that rarely happens now. Much improves performance and I'm a happy camper!

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.

It's user-friendly and has a lot of customisable templates, fonts, overlays and effects which aid in editing content.

My overall experience with PicMonkey so far has been amazing and I know It'll continue being great as I continue to learn more about it and explore the various features.

Pros

As a graphic designer enthusiast who is also a beginner, what I love most about PicMonkey is its beginner-friendly interface. The ability to create something great and relatable as a total beginner is amazing and instrumental in my learning journey and career. Additionally, PicMonkey's ease of use especially with photoshop editing has reduced my the fear and anxiety I previously had regarding such software and tasks requiring image editing.

Cons

There are tons of things I love and I'm currently obsessed with in regards to PicMoneky. However, I wish the free version had more advanced features especially for someone who's just starting out.

I am happy with my overall experience and have been using the product for a little over 8 years.

Pros

I love all the options available for whatever mediums each user may specialize in. I initially purchased the app for photography editing, but now use it for so much more. It is my go-to product for editing media.

Cons

That the options are not consistent from the mobile app to the desktop app. Obviously, you can do more on the desktop.

Overall, my experience with PicMonkey was positive. The software is easy to use and offers interesting features for image editing. Although I would like to have more choices in terms of text editing, I recommend PicMonkey for users who are looking to quickly add professional effects to their images.

Pros

What I liked the most about PicMonkey was how easy it was to add effects to my images. The filters and texture effects are very easy to apply, which allows me to give a professional touch to my images in no time. Additionally, I really appreciated the photo editing tools that allowed me to enhance the quality of my images.

Cons

However, what I liked less about PicMonkey was the limitation of text editing features. Although I was able to add text to my designs, the customization options were limited. I would have liked more choices in terms of fonts and text colors to give my designs a more original look.

I enjoy using picmonkey for editing and creating small amounts of social media content. I have been paying for the premium service for years, but the site has changed and I do not get the same things for the same cost.

Pros

There are many things that can be done to a photo: including adding text, stickers, etc. Many of the filters/pre-fab edits are an easy thing to add to a photo.

Cons

I cannot manipulate photos on as many qualities as other products and the cost has increased since I began using it.
