While they have expanded their features to include more layouts and typography -- I tend to stick with the photo editing features. - We liked all the different features and were able to utilize the system fully. ### Most mentioned cons - Your only option is to erase it all by hand, piece by piece for hours, or erase the entire background. - I've tried a lot of different ones and I have, as of yet, been unable to find anything even remotely close to PicMonkey! - Lack of tutorials, no advanced features (if you need more professional/elaborate results). ## PicMonkey customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 1,142 (page 1). ### The best way to resize images - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Aria P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The free features of PicMonkey are extremely useful and highly efficient. A great tool to resize images for socials with any aspect ratio and complete a wide variety of photo editing processes. #### Cons I have zero cons or negative things to say about PicMonkey --- ### Affordable photo editing software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nikki S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I successfully edited many photos with picmonkey, and I created social media ads for my business. While there weren't as many tools as I wanted and the library wasnt as vast as I would like, I was happy with the outcome of my work on Picmonkey. I created our first logo with Picmonkey and customers complimented me on it many times. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Picmonkey provides most basic photo editing tools, crop, filter, collage maker, etc. A library of templates is available, to edit templates a drag and drop feature is provided. There is a faunt library and text can be manipulated with shadowing or curvature. Cloud storage is available and your Picmonkey files can be accessed from any device when you log in. Files can be shared to most social media or through email. Picmonkey is not hard to use, customer support is provided. Updates and improvements are made occasionally, recently background remover was added. #### Cons Picmonkey does not rank high for me in tools or library quality. I have used other software with many more editing tools provided, and more options within those tools (for example more filters in the filter tool). To download any of your work you'll need to pay for a subscription. The cheaper subscription on Picmonkey provides the same as the free version of other software. #### Reasons for choosing PicMonkey Picmonkey was rated easy to use. I needed the new product to be something I could learn quickly as my business is dependent on this kind of software. #### Reasons for switching to PicMonkey My business temporarily came upon a time of financial strain and I needed a low cost alternative. Picmonkey listed many of the tools I needed for a lower price. --- ### It's okay. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Antoinette K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

With PicMonkey, I am able to create the most amazing and engaging content for our community outreach programs.

Our team presentations and marketing emails have never been boring since I started using PicMonkey to design content materials. #### Cons I am still hoping an advanced version will be released with more advanced editing and video-work tools for the much heavier projects. But I guess the current version was created for the niche market of unsophisticated graphic design work. #### Reasons for switching to PicMonkey Without access to internet, offline use is extremely limited. --- ### Fantastic Web Based Design Functionality - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Adam W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I like the functionality of using the browser or app, sharing a company account, syncing projects with colleagues and more.

No incentive was offered If you are willing to pay a monthly/annual subscription, PicMonkey is perfect for you. It has a lot of features that will make your creations look professional. Due to this fact, it may be used for personal, work, and educational purposes. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros PicMonkey auto-saves all of your creations in your personal online library, so I do not have to worry about losing my progress. It also has beautiful features such as makeup and nice filters. This app allows you to professionally edit your photos and make them go from "nice" to "outstanding"! Personally, I love the option of "duplicate", so I can eliminate undesired parts of my photos without anyone noticing. Also, PicMonkey makes it easy to directly share your creations on more than 10 different social media, including Twitter, Facebook, Facebook Ads Manager, Youtube, etc. Everything is user-friendly and simple. #### Cons If you are trying PicMonkey for the first time and you do not have a paid subscription, you will not be able to download your content. This is understandable, but I'd like the app to warn me about this before I start editing. On the other hand, the price is a little bit high having in mind that other apps have the same features for free. --- ### Love PicMonkey! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Wendy F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use PicMonkey for simple text images to make something stand out nicely on a web page or even Facebook. I love quotes and other text on Photos (meme) and enjoy playing to make things eye catching... even just the text itself! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I've used PicMonkey for years now. Who needs Photosh** (yeah I said that) when you've got PicMonkey? Yes, maybe if you are a professional making a living from images... but most of us aren't. Seriously... their tutorials are short and to the point, so I can do a quick search and learn whatever I need to do with an image for my small biz. They have quick images, oodles of fonts, backgrounds and more. They have lots of templates for people who need help with graphics or want a quick idea to get the project moving quicker. Some things you can do: -- You can use several images in a collage. -- You can erase the background so a person can be kinda cut out of the background and added to any image or used in many different ways. -- Cut out an image in a shape -- like a star for Valentine's Day (2 days away). -- Make Instagram stories. -- You can do weird things like swapping two peoples faces in a photo (weird but true)... never did that one but read the tut recently! -- You can edit photos -- edit blemishes out, add make up, whiten teeth, color hair. -- Change a photo into an image that looks drawn. I also might see an image (like on Ancestry) that I need... and can capture a quick screenshot with the Chrome app. Quick editing, add text, arrows, whatever. No, I'm not violating copyrights, just images of ancestors etc. My work is saved to the cloud so I can easily find and re-use in some manner (with edits). #### Cons Honestly, I can't imagine what I'd need that PicMonkey can't do. --- ### Pic Monkey User Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Pic Monkey is one of the online image editing website that I have been using occasionally since about 2011. At home I usually use Photoshop, but unlike photoshop or any other offline image editor, Pic monkey provides a reliable editing platform by means of internet, so there is not limit as to from where I can edit.Pic monkey is very simple to use and it is even easier than other conventional editing software and websites. I have been using Pic Monkey over 10years and have always been satisfied with the results.It allows to import items from various platform including 'Instagram' and 'Google Photos' in addition to computer HardDisk.There are countless templates that we can choose from depending on our requirement, so in situation were we need to complete works quickly, the templates available in PicMonkey are totally reliable. #### Cons Most of the best templates, effects are only available for paid users, so if we are not a regular user, it could be inconvenient. Even though there are several free good templates/effects, the most desired and useful ones require payment.We need to make payment to download anything that we edit, so a first time user might finish all the works and find it all wasted if not payed.The background removal feature when used in image with complex background sometimes do not give satisfactory result. --- ### A Long-time Favorite - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kevin O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Some of my greatest designs have been edited on PickMonkey with stunning results! That says it all! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It has changed over the years and the free use is very limited now and I cannot afford a plan. But, I am still able to do what I need and PicMonkey offers some filters, effects, etc that are better than other sites and some that only they have. It helps me put the final touches on my art. #### Cons It was better for me a couple of years ago when it was totally free, at least I think it was, and not you are reeled into having to pay, pay, pay. But, I am still able to use the limited freebies and will always love PicMonkey! --- ### Great photo editor - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Narisse P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Great editor, wish that it had discounts but its great both free and paid. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros PicMonkey is a great photo editor to use for designs and editing photos. Its beginner friendly with it's easy accessibility and it's easy to use tools. You can edit basically everything here. #### Cons If you're looking for an editor that costs less that 50US a year this software is not for you as the cost is 72US a year. --- ### PicMonkey Offers Great Features - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Austin W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have loved using PicMonkey to edit photos. I really like the sharpening/clarity tool, as well as the "heal" tool to fix imperfections. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros PicMonkey is extremely easy to use. When I've tried other softwares, they just don't compare. Other software systems don't have as many features you can use, especially at a free level. PicMonkey has great features for free users and also for paying customers. It can be a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it for what you get. #### Cons Some of the editing features could be improved a bit, but for the most part everything works pretty well. Sometimes the cost is a bit much per month, but I understand you have to charge something to keep a business going and profitable. --- ### Need a quick edit! You've got it! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jannatin N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Chemicals - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, PicMonkey was a great experience and still continues to be one of the best sites I use to quickly make image edits and design from anywhere and on any device. I highly recommend this for beginners in editing as well since everything is clear and you can easily click through whatever options they have to choose what you want to use to edit with! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros PicMonkey is the most easiest tool I've use to this date to make quick and simple graphic edits. I even get to edit my images, make them pop, add text, and more! I can make things with their templates or I can easily make stuff out of scratch. There is so much you can do with this software and everything is in large and easy to navigate through so you could get the best out of it when editing. #### Cons A lot of features to make your photos even better require a monthly membership, but I'll be honest, it is worth it. There is so much you can do with or without the membership but I enjoyed using this so much I just got it anyway. --- ### PicMonkey Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Barry G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered If I am looking for a quick basic fix (or if I am being slightly lazy), then PicMonkey can be the ideal solution. It may not have all of the bells and whistles that larger, more powerful software can offer, but for the price and ease of use, it does offer fair value for money. I recommend this for the beginner rather than a graphic designer. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros PicMonkey is a simple to use piece of software that allows for basic photo editing without the complexities of other software on the market. The changes are instant and it is clearly designed to be used even by those with no previous experience of photo editing. Their tools menu comes down the side of your screen, and it is easy to find what you are looking for once you get used to the layout. There are various options The software comes with easy to use templates with you then able to edit them accordingly, and they do provide you with a good base to start from. Once again, I feel that this makes life easier for those individuals just starting out with creating graphics and learning all about how to use layers to create an end product. The software is not power-hungry, so if your computer is lacking in the processor or memory area then you will not have a problem running PicMonkey. Also, with everything done via their website, there's no software to download meaning everything is kept up to date. #### Cons While they can be fun, there are a number of more cartoon-like effects. Also, the company did change the layout of the backend which made it slightly less usable in my opinion. However, they do provide you with the option of reverting back to the old way of doing things, so it's not a big deal. --- ### Great for Content Creation! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Karen M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Broadcast Media - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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! --- ### Great for Designing - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I primarily use PicMonkey for designing invitations, announcements, and other printables. In the past, if the site froze or I lost internet connection, I'd lose my work. When the hub was introduced, that problem was resolved and that made PicMonkey my go to for my designing needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love all the fonts and templates that are readily available. I primarily use PicMonkey for designing invitations, announcements, and other printables. I have a Hub where I can save my work to come back to later which is great. There is a small amount of space which helps keep me accountable so I don't have tons of files saved that I don't need. There are themes of graphics that are available that ARE SO DANG CUTE. I can upload my own clip art or images to add to a design and it recognizes any fonts I have installed. The program is very user friendly with the newest rollout. I love that you can scroll away from the canvas and put things off to the side instead of deleting them altogether. #### Cons I like the price the least. The price with the newest rollout is quite costly for what I use it for. Previously it was less than $50/year and I could justify that. --- ### Active photo editor - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Laura B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

They are very pretty and nice when I don’t want to spend a lot of time editing. #### Cons I wish I could edit one photo multiple ways and have them all saved so I can choose my favorite. --- ### Excellent online photo editing product. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Oombawka Design R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Good value for the price I pay. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Ease of use. Lots of fonts and frames and everything can be easily resized, dragged and dropped. You can balance white color, move elements in layers back and forth and even sample colors with the eye dropper tool to match up your colors for fonts, design elements and photos. #### Cons Sometimes it glitches for me and nothing seems to work on the screen...but if I move my cursor to the top left of the screen and then back to the center it responds again. I also wish there were new updated templates in the social media template section. They haven't changed in a couple years. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/picmonkey-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- PicMonkey Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
