Picmonkey is a solution for graphic design, photo editing and collage creation. The service is offered as an application for iOS and Android smartphones. The developers also offer to print finished works of any format with delivery to the specified address. Integration with OneDrive and Dropbox is provided for storing images in the cloud.
The system can be used by novice designers and professional specialists. It will be of interest to bloggers who need to make high-quality original content, specialists of digital-agencies, photographers and employees of printing houses. The effect of translating a photo into a pencil sketch will be useful in the work of artists and tattoo masters, and freelancers and art lovers can use the software for personal needs.
The platform offers standard sets of filters for quick photo modification, layer overlay options, and text tools. Pictures can be combined into collages from ready-made layouts and captions can be added to them. A library of templates and fonts helps you create unique covers, logos, business cards, postcards and posts for social networks. Retouching functions allow you to even out skin tone, whiten certain areas of the photo, make eyes brighter and apply “digital mascara”. For hair editing there are options to change the color of strands, create additional volume, beard or mustache. You can apply the plastic tool to body contours, remove wrinkles and blemishes without losing image quality and uniformity. The service offers many tutorials and videos for creating color palettes and different types of pictures, collages, holiday invitations and phone wallpapers.
