PicMonkey. The Photo Editor you didn't know

PicMonkey is a modern photo editor and marketing tool.

If there is one competitive field where there are thousands of options, it is photo editing. There are thousands of options in this field. From straightforward editors to editors with thousands of tools that only knowledgeable people can use.

And it is not uncommon that the competition is such. Photography and editing digitally are booming, and I don't think it will ever stop.

The content we consume in images daily is enormous. Applications like Instagram, based solely on appearances, give us an idea of the number of photos produced constantly.

That's why digital photo editors are vital.

And PicMonkey is positioned as the visual photo editor and has several functions as a professional editor and mainly a basic editor for beginners.

In addition, PicMonkey, in recent times, has focused a lot on enabling you to create content for networks and various platforms in a marketing way. Also, in the creation of Logos and advertising in general.

It offers thousands of engaging templates for things like Instagram posts, YouTube video thumbnail images, and Facebook posts.

But first, let's focus on the PicMonkey photo editor itself. It doesn't say much on the website, but we can see from several online reviews that it is an editor that falls short compared to other editors.

So we can say that this aspect would not be the reason for choosing this program over another.

Now let's analyze the Marketing section through image and design.

This is the section of PicMonkey that could be attractive to some people.

PicMonkey has several ways to enhance your brand:

• You can create good content for Instagram and Facebook through pre-made templates and designs.
• Content for YouTube. Images with unique designs for YouTube thumbnails that are appealing.
• Use of stock images, which you can use from within the program.
• Logos and configuration of all the aesthetic details of your brand made with tempered.

So these features can add value to the PicMonkey plan, which is quite expensive.

The basic plan is $7.99 per month, Pro is $12.99, and Team is $33.99 per month.

And you can see that from their official website, which has all the essential information.

That is a positive point to highlight. You can see all the general information on the official website and access the data according to the different services. You can, from the main page, click on this or that function and access the specific information that the program has in a particular part. This way, you can explore function by function until you conclude if the program works or not in your case. As I will comment below, it is a program that adapts well to a specific user profile.

But I can't refrain from saying my opinion. In the case of such an expensive plan, it is not worth this service, except for exceptional circumstances.

I think that the only case in which this service is worth to be paid is if you are an entrepreneur and you have no one to make all the designs for all platforms, and you have money to invest in this expensive program (and I say expensive because compared to Adobe's plans, which are the most complete for design, there is a difference). In this case it can be useful to pay for it and create all the look and feel of your brand from scratch, and customize ads, create logos, page layouts, photos for your different places.

But if this is not your case, and you can dedicate some time to design or some money to hire someone who knows about design, I highly recommend this option.

With the money a plan costs, you can hire a freelance designer (or freelancer) who will do much more personalized and original work than the pre-designed templates.

Conclusion:

In short, I don't recommend it, because of the price compared to what other things can offer you, it's not worth it.

You have to check when deciding because the prices vary a lot. So check the official page attached to this article, and you will also access all the information that the company provides.

I guess it is a product for a particular sector of the population. But this is not your ideal program if you are looking for a photo editor. If you are willing to pay for a professional editor, check out Adobe editors, or if you want editors for your photos simpler, you can find several good quality on your cell phone.
