Drag and drop graphic design software
Lunacy is a life saving software that always help me when i has a important media that i need to edit or creating a poster or info-graphic for our social media content.
PROSLunacy employ a very easy process of creating and editing a media like picture, poster and social media banner. One of the thing that i love is the content library. It has so many vector that are free to use and can be use for commercial. I also can save the project into .jpeg or .png as well some other graphic file format.
CONSI would love to see more free vector and content on the library. It saves my time from searching for a free vector on Google and have to deal with the commercial licenses. It will also be great if they can integrate with graphic media provider like Shutterstock.
Reasons for switching to Lunacy
Lunacy let me to edit graphic by drag and drop.
Vendor Response
Hello, Hamizah! Thank you for the review and your support. We really appreciate it! Lunacy actually has a huge collection of graphic content besides icons. You can find Photo and Illustrations libraries in the left sidebar right below the icons. We're also adding new content all the time, so make sure to check the library from time to time for some cool stuff! We hope that you'll continue to enjoy your experience with Lunacy.

The best alternative to Sketch (and it's for Windows!)
The developers care about their vision for Lunacy. In a design world where everything is always evolving and changing, Lunacy is ahead of the curve. They are always implementing features their users are asking for. I've had a very positive experience so far!
PROSIt is free and accessible to all. Lunacy is constantly being updated, and the developers are listening to their audience. You can see problems from the forums being addressed in each build (and it is updating constantly). I love that I have a viable option for working on Sketch files on my Windows machine.
CONSThere are a few hiccups when using Lunacy as it's still being developed and the kinks are being ironed out/ However, I am confident in the development team and enjoy having access to the beta versions of each build.
Reasons for switching to Lunacy
Direct export of .sketch files to be able to collaborate with the Mac users on my team
Vendor Response
Erik, thanks for the review! Good news: we are cross-platform now. We'd love to know what you and your colleagues think about Lunacy 8.0. We invite you to lunatics.icons8.com where you can request new features or join discussions with other Lunacy users.

Lunacy Review
So far been a good experience. I expect updates in the future which would iron things out and take lunacy to next level.
PROSIt has everything in one place which is a big plus. Staying in one app to do all your work reduces distractions and increases productivity.
CONSIt still needs some work in terms of optimization. Can be buggy at times.

With Lunacy, your imagination is the only limit to your creation
Can I create Printing design such as magazine in Lunacy? The answer is a big YES. This is my experience: I created many printing materials and, even though Lunacy doesn't work with CMYK, the result is amazing. We print them to distribute and here you can see a link of one of these jobs in a digital and interactive version. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] So, YES, you can do everything you want in Lunacy, and the final printing quality is fantastic. Thanks Lunacy.
PROS- Super fast - Low memory consumption - Very intuitive
CONS- No cons reviews to write. In its category, Lunacy reach all its goals.
Reasons for switching to Lunacy
I realized that many jobs I used to do in Illustrator could be done in Lunacy saving time and getting the same high quality for screen displaying and printing.

PROSI'm in love with the AI powered background remover tool. It saves me more time using it because it has hundreds of images, icons as well as many illustrations depicting what I want at my fingertips all loaded inside the software. It has a text generator tool too and it doesn't entirely depends on the internet as it perfectly works offline unlike other apps development softwares. What's more, Lunacy runs on all platforms like Mac, Windows and Linux. Great software!

Ottima alternativa
Insostituibile alternativa all'acquisto di un Mac e di Sketch. Continuerò ad usarlo
PROSL'interfaccia è intuitiva, usabile e familiare a chiunque abbia avuto a che fare con la grafica. Per absolute beginners è un pò affollata, ma il tutorial è fatto molto bene e aiuta. L'importazione dei file .sketch è immediata ed efficace. Ha tutto quello che serve per iniziare e molto di più. Non conoscendo l'originale Apple, non posso fare confronti
CONSSembra molto esoso in fatto di risorse hardware. Finchè non disporrò di un pc più prestante, non potrò utilizzarlo al meglio perchè è molto lento. (attualmente 4core 8 GB ram MSWin 10)

Free to use but premium feature
I appreciate how everything is neatly placed where you can find it quickly and how easy it is to figure out how to do anything you want to do with it. No essentials are missing from this alternative to drawing. Images can have the backgrounds removed at the press of a button, allowing me to experiment with fresh arrangements.
CONSIf you're being sincere, you probably can't find anything wrong with a machine like Lunacy. It may take some time to install the program on older devices, although it is far more of an issue with the hardware.

An excellent graphic editing software for Educators!
I use Lunacy to create and edit images and graphics for the university classes that I teach. While I am not a power-user nor the ideal type of user for software like this, Lunacy is just perfect for making quick designs and new compositions on the fly. One practical example is removing the background on character images to superimpose them on another image. Traditionally one would have to learn how to use complex tools or pay to achieve great results. With Lunacy the software will do all the heavy lifting and nine times out of ten I get professional-quality results without breaking a sweat.
PROSLunacy has several excellent features that make it a very compelling tool for a broad range of users but I like the background removal feature most. At the click of a button, I am able to remove the background from photos and create new compositions without having to hire a graphic design or photo editing superstar. The results are phenomenal and I cannot recommend this tool enough. PS** I might also mention that it is great to know that this is a cross-platform tool.
CONSTo be honest, it is hard to fault a tool like Lunacy. If I were to be nit-picky, it can take a little time to load the software on old computer systems, but to be fair, that is more of a problem with the age of the system than with Lunacy.
