About Polarr

Polarr tremendously enhances my photos with its plethora of dynamic effects, filters, & adjustment options to make end results look more prominent. Whether I'm using the software on my computer or mobile, Polarr fails to disappoint with its fantastic user experience to fulfil my productivity & entertainment demands.
Pros
The feature-rich, yet simplified user interface allows me to perform a wide variety of modifications to my photos to deliver stunning results. This is most apparent when dealing with photos captured & received at our construction site where images in their current state are unsuitable to be attached in our monthly report for submission. Thus, I highly rely on Polarr to implement necessary adjustments in colour, brightness & contrast, date & time stamps as well as resizing in order to produce usable pictures. Furthermore, Polarr seems best suited for creating eye-catching presentation intros & social media posts with its wide selection of high-quality filters & overlay effects. Another appreciable attribute of the software is its offline usability which comes in quite handy when there's limited network access or coverage.
Cons
I have absolutely zero complaints with the Polarr. The application works flawlessly & conveniently across all platforms.

I have used it many times, and it has always performed very well.
Pros
It is easy to use, and has various filters and overlays. I like that you can make the photos look weathered, or overlay it with rain or snow. You can even use one free pro export a day, using all the pro features. All in all, it is a fine app for beginners for editing photos.
Cons
It would be great if they would update the app with more features and overlays.

There are many photo editing tools on the market and Photoshop is one the oldest and best that you can do everything with it, but Photoshop needs training and you must be trained to use it, and many of its features may not work for you, but Polarr is simple, practical and convenient. You can easily edit your photos with it.
Pros
The menus and buttons are simple, with everything I need to edit photos, filters, resize, effects, retouch, add text, Ai Gradient, Awesome Adjustment, Raw editor, and many more useful common features. The design of its user dashboard is so stylish and simple and designed with few buttons that anyone with the least computer knowledge can start working with it. It has professional filters and the Retouches feature works very well for me and it works on all devices online and offline via mobile or desktop with any resolution and any os. Also, the font import tool for editing photos with my desired Font is great.
Cons
Several sample prebuilt templates such as banners, ready-made text-photos, ready-made sample sizes, and materials could make the job easier so that one could prepare projects for social networks more easily.
