- Users say that PicMonkey offers a solid range of photo editing tools, with feedback noting, "I love the endless options for photo editing." However, it may not match the extensive customization options available in Canva, which users appreciate for its versatility across various media formats.
- Reviewers mention that Canva's implementation process is notably smooth, with many users praising the quick onboarding experience. One user stated, "Canva is popular. It is very easy to use, even if you are not an artist," indicating that even beginners can get started without a steep learning curve.
