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

PicMonkey is great and easy to features. Ofcourse it may not be the most advanced photo editing software but it's a good platform for users who need basic editing tools.
Pros

Limited Font Styles , Some Of My Favourite and Liked Fonts Are Not available In PicMonkey. The Pricing which starts from 7$ Its Much Worthy For a basic Editor.

Good value for the price and is fairly easy to learn and use.
Good value for the price and is fairly easy to learn and use.
Pros
Picmonkey is a great tool for those who are not design and editing pro's! We have large age gap in those who work for our company and everyone is able to use it realtively easily.
Cons
Picmonkey would be better if it was easier to attach to social media pages and posts as well as scheduling.

PicMonkey! Don't say any more !
Reviewed on 2023/02/10
Pros
The best thing that pic monkey provides is the ease of editing pictures and the fun of exploring through a wide variety of templates, we could be engaged all day and still feel the other template was better than this one. It is simple to use and really user friendly and even a 5 year old can become a pro Photo Editor and post amazing pictures online.
Cons
The thing that I don't like is that the site does not handle very high quality pictures as well as it does with the mid range one's, if fixed this will be the best software but does not bother me too much as the ratio of editing a very high quality picture is 5:1.
