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.

Best Free Photo Editing App for Mobile

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.

Most Important Features

  • Fit
  • Adjust
  • Flip
  • Effects

Return on Investment

  • Streamlined editing with helpful tools that would take much longer to do manually in other software.
  • Free software without a watermark like many other apps, so it costs nothing but storage space on my phone.
  • Boosted my confidence in being able to post my photos, especially of myself, because I am able to better highlight the best parts of the photos and mask the distractions or less favorable parts of photos.
