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.

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.

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 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!
