Overall Satisfaction with PicMonkey

We use PicMonkey in the creation of marketing materials, social media posts, graphics for email blasts, event invitations, programs, and more. It is used primarily by our Education and Community Engagement departments, but because of its ease of use, even our least tech-savvy employees can use it. It allows us to easily create cohesive, branded materials that are sleek and modern.
  • Creative templates
  • Modern, sleek designs
  • Large selection of graphics available for use
  • Large selection of fonts available for use
  • Changes to toolkit / use buttons are sometimes difficult to keep up with
  • Separating free items (fonts, images, etc.. ) from those requiring upgrade
  • Explanation of sizing tools / pixels is difficult to understand and apply
  • We see an increase in user engagement when we use these graphics online.
  • We see more tangible interactions with our materials.
  • We hear positive feedback about our branding and marketing.
We find that PicMonkey is better suited for our needs, which are largely for online graphics, images, and infographics aimed at catching the attention of our audience and soliciting them to engage in our posts and email requests. Canva is better suited perhaps for the creation of materials to be printed.
To be fair, I have not had to use customer support, but I have found the website materials/instructions at PicMonkey.com to be easy to understand and the website (mostly) simple to navigate. As someone who is not the MOST tech-savvy in any room, I find it accessible and not intimidating; it gives me confidence to create the images that I know will be most effective for our purposes.

We find PicMonkey to be best suited for the creation of online images and graphics for use on social media platforms and in email blasts to community partners, donors, and constituents. For our purposes, we have found it to be less suited for the creation of printed materials like brochures, programs, and infographics.
