#Picmonkey VS #Canva

+PicMonkey 

 

PROS:

• Simple and free
• Very good for image editing:

           - Faces touch up

           - Effects 

           - Frames

• Easy to save and share
• Text effects (e.g. overlay)
• Good for collages (spaces for photo pre-organized and very clear)

 

 

CONS:

• Only a few pre-adapted sizes for the initial design
• No text designs
• Less freedom when creating a collage

To conclude: PicMonkey is very good for "organized" works (e.g. work presentations) and image editing.

+Canva 

 

PROS:

• Simple and free 
• Good for creative collages (You can mix text designs & images)
• Adapted sizes for any type of document you would like to create. (e.g. Twitter post, Facebook cover, card, flyer, a Google + post, etc.)
• Fun text designs  
• Some free images
• Direct links to share and print                                                            

 

CONS:

• Can be long to load and save.
• The saving sometimes does not work very well.
• Less "pre-organized" than Picmonkey

So, in case of problems with saving, I recommend you to download Jing, a free and very simple program which allows you to take screen shots of the part you want to have, either all the screen or a small part of it.

 

To conclude: Canva is good for creative and more "fun" works (e.g. invitations). Also well adapted to social media differences.
