Most of us use social media platforms and we want to attract our subscribers, and friends, by posting creative, edited posts. Here Picsart works perfectly. This is available for both web and mobile devices. It is very easy to use and no technical knowledge, a special course is required. It helped us in our personal and professional life as well. In your personal life, you can edit your images with creative frames, effects, and many more. We have also used this tool for our business requirements. We could create templates, banners, and flyers with this tool and it is easy to edit files and save them to the device immediately with high resolution. You can also import stickers, and fonts to Picsart and use them in your project. Not only images but also videos can be edited here. You can create a variety of collages from the same tool.

Pros

  • Free version for everyone
  • Pre-designed templates
  • Images resolution customisation
  • No watermark on free version also

Cons

  • Sometimes I have seen app stops while using
  • Functions needs to be simplified for new users
  • Auto save facility not available

Likelihood to Recommend

In my experience, I have used PicsArt in lots of projects which helped me to complete the projects on time with satisfactory results. Mostly I use the Android app which is super easy to use. I have created multiple templates for my business. But I think it should remove the watermark on video editing also in the free version. It helped us to create unique pre-designed templates with step by step process. Apart from that, I have never faced any issues with this tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Picsart is mainly used to edit and enhance the photos and schematics of the circuits we build at our company. These photos are used in our data sheets, Technical Documentation, Brochures and website. The main advantage of using Picsart is that it is very user-friendly and easy to use. We do not need much editing in our photos, so it is the best for us.

Pros

  • Cropping of images.
  • Rotation of images.
  • Contrast in images to improve the detail in our circuits.

Cons

  • It is slow and laggy sometimes.
  • Large size of application.
  • Requires internet for some applications.

Likelihood to Recommend

In photos of a circuit diagram or Printed Circuit Board (PCB), it is helpful as these images require lot of zooming in while taking. So it requires a good amount of editing to get a good photo. On the other hand, these edits can get laggy and require internet connection many times causing delays.

A good tool for lightening fast online photo and video editing

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Picsart is used as an online picture editor to create professional designs and logos for presentations. It a really good tool to do this, mainly because its an online tool that requires no additional software installations, and allows open collaboration. The problem that it solves is it provides an online tool to create and edit images and videos, requiring minimal knowledge of photo editing. Smart features include templates, smart designs and filters to make your photos stand out. The video editing tool is a basic one but can do the job of normal video editing required in an organization. You can add sound effects and text to your videos seamlessly, which is crucial for making annotated videos to present.

Pros

  • Online Video Editing
  • Online Photo Editing
  • Online Photo Enhancement
  • Layered effects
  • Drawing Tools on Images

Cons

  • Enhanced Video Editing Interface for Professional Video Editing
  • A feature to customize templates
  • Rework locations of Ads to not clutter workspace in the free version
  • Sometimes the interface is slow

Likelihood to Recommend

Picsart is well suited for quick online photo and video creation and editing. It has a lot of templates that can be used to quickly create collages and other artwork for professional use. The video editing tool is really useful for adding sound and text to videos and creating annotated videos for presentations.

It is less appropriate for professional photo and video editors, as it lacks advanced editing tools. Graphics designers and other professionals in the photo editing or video editing industry might find this product underpowered.

My Go-To App for Photo Editing

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Picsart is very useful for us when we are making proposals to our clients. When making our proposals, we need to feature some photos of our hotels to attract our guests to make their reservations. By using this application, we are able to edit and enhance those photos of our hotels.

Pros

  • Amazing graphics
  • A lot of features even on free subscriptions
  • User-friendly for beginners

Cons

  • It crashes at times while using draw tool
  • Some tools are hard to see due to the black theme
  • It can't stay open in the background for too long. It'll refresh eventually and won't save your draft

Likelihood to Recommend

This application is very easy to use and even beginner editors would enjoy using it. It is very reliable application that I have been using not only for social media but also for work. It has a lot of tools and features that is not only focused on the enhancement of photos.

A good addition to artistic apps.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it to edit photos, create collages, create backgrounds for printing and online documents, and for use in craft projects.

Pros

  • There is a good selection of photos to use for backdrops.
  • There is a wide selection of artistic filters.
  • There is a good selection of editing tools.

Cons

  • It's not as user friendly as it used to be.
  • I've had problems with allowing permissions for the app.
  • There are a lot of ads in the free version.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's good to use if you want to add interest to a document, not necessarily a word document, but certainly, something where you want to be a bit more creative, to add more interest to something informal or draw the attention of a reader or viewer. I wouldn't use the app to generate anything for work use as it would be distracting and take too much time to create.

Platform to showcase creativity!!!

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it in my organisation Picsart as an online photo and video editing application to achieve my social creativity as a part of UIUX development. The most effective part of it is the usage of layers in Picsart and also filter effects where we can use multiple stickers and add brand images with High Quality.

Pros

  • Picsart Animations
  • Sicker making
  • HQ picture editing

Cons

  • Some enterprise features should be made free.
  • UI should be improved more.
  • User friendly options should be improved.

Likelihood to Recommend

When we develop the UIUX interface for dashboards we use Picsart for specific picture editing and referencing flow diagrams with HQ images and adding proper stickers and filters to satisfy end users as a part of development. We had a requirement of developing custom stickers, and Picsart helped us a lot.

Must-try for anyone looking for a comprehensive photo editor.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Picsart app does a lot more than just add effects to your photos and edit them. A picture can be taken directly from the app or pulled from your photo library and the main features of the app can be accessed using the buttons at the bottom of the interface when an image is displayed. Additionally, you can select effects from a variety of categories like Artistic, Paper, ColorSplash, and simple colour corrections.

Pros

  • After tweaking your image, you can share it over e-mail, on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Dropbox, and many other social media apps.
  • You can browse thousands of images on Picsart.
  • You will find a wide range of tools in Picsart to help you play with your images.

Cons

  • The controls sometimes seem to threaten to take over my entire screen.
  • You can do a lot with your images, and it can be overwhelming.
  • Too many interface elements on the screen.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need more, there are more to download since it has worked for me to think creatively about how to present my images and almost any situation can be handled in Picsart with a plethora of tools available with a simple click. It is essential for anyone looking for a comprehensive photo editing and effects app to have one such as this one. I haven't yet found a scenario where I couldn't use the app to suit my purpose!

Best Free Photo Editing App for Mobile

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I mostly use Picsart for personal projects, but occasionally, while optimizing an image for the web, I'll use Picsart for quick fixes. Most recently for my job I've used it to make a vertical image horizontal with blurred background edges using the Fit tool. For personal projects, I use to crop, adjust lighting/saturation/brightness, etc., use a variety of filters (most recently my favorite has been "Noise"), blur backgrounds, change the color of certain objects, add stickers and overlays, add borders, and more. These are mostly edits for photos I post to my Instagram accounts.

Pros

  • Basic Photo Editing - more robust than your basic iPhone photo editing tools, but much simpler (yet still powerful) and user-friendly than Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
  • Filters - a large variety of simple and complex photo filters with the ability to adjust the strength. A nice blend of filters can really enhance a photo without making it look heavily filtered.
  • User friendly - all across the board, this app is super easy to use and really powerful too. I can't imagine editing a photo on my phone without it.

Cons

  • There are a lot of features available to only paying subscribers, but all those features still appear for the nonpaying user, marked by the crown icon. Particularly with filters and stickers, it can be annoying to scroll through the majority of locked options to find the handful that is free. A filter option would be nice.
  • It would be nice to have access to previous projects where you could still go back and undo edits you've made. The draft feature seems to only be good for one project at a time.
  • Layers would be nice. That way when you use a sticker or add a photo on top and go on to make more edits, you could still move them around instead of just having to undo everything and re-add the stick or additional photo.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's fantastic for quick fixes and enhancements for personal photos being uploaded to any social media. This is what I use it most often for. I love the Fit feature especially because it allows me to make the photo virtually any dimension without having to crop the image. This is useful for Instagram especially, where when you share multiple photos, all photos will be cropped to the same dimension as the first one. If you are posting both portrait and landscape images, you're going to lose part of the image. But with Fit, you can fix that. I also love the selection of filters. I usually fade them a bit and blend several to get my desired look. I love that my recently used filters are easy to access too, so I can edit photos the same way multiple times in a row or several days or weeks later. It makes it so easy to keep my photo editing looking consistent.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Picsart is a useful software to create content for social media, and presentations. It allows you to edit photos with great creativity and precision by offering a wide range of tools in its free version, as well as templates from its library which adapt to most uses and needs.

Pros

  • Effects in the photo
  • Layer management
  • Variety in the library to expand the quality of the content

Cons

  • Increase the personalization of the tools to edit
  • Have more filters free
  • Add more stickers to the free version

Likelihood to Recommend

Ideal: for creating and logos editing, image correction creation of content with eye-catching and well-done effects. Easy to use from a mobile phone or tablet.

Less ideal: in the free version it is less favourable for use in more serious work environments or those requiring a more powerful editing tool.
