Pablo might be better than Canva **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sonu K. | Campus Ambassador, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2023 **What do you like best about Pablo?** Pablo is another tool to be used alongside Canva because it offers a more efficient way to quickly create and post for social media. I am delighted to use Pablo because the photo editing process is extremely fast and hassle-free. How simple it is. Simply upload a photo, select your writing style, enter your content, and you're done. No strange things, extra options, or time beyond what is required to complete anything simple a basic tool for creating text-based pictures. For the photos and letter styles, it features many filters. The add Phrases tool on this website is one of my favourites since it allows me to add quotes from my favourite celebrities to make my appearance more fascinating. I can also add the logo for my business. Pablo is a tool that I use frequently since it is simple to use, has a variety of functions, and produces a very stunning outcome for the networks. It is fantastic. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** The clarity might rise to the level of the shot's initial resolution. Currently, you receive a compressed, low-quality image that looks well on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter but needs to be bigger to print or use on other websites with excellent retina resolution. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Pablo is the software to use if you want to quickly and easily create photographs with personalised text. You get everything you need to create images for daily use on social media channels. It may get new features, but it seems like they update the tool slowly, so check it out and see if it meets your needs. If not, you might need to check out another app because it probably won't get an update with new features for a few months. But previously 4 months Pablo added more features and it is very convenient to work with editing, creating and posting photos with this software. Clarity after editing may enhance after a couple of months of updates as earlier updates. It seems Pablo giving more updates as to their customer problem concern . Maybe this software is far better than other software available in the market. ### 2.

Pablo has been helpful but challenging to understand **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sue K. | Founder and Organizer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Pablo?** Just the option to be able to create the images as a non-graphic designer. The font selection was helpful. Being part of my package was also good. I haven't tried competitors. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** i still get frustrated because I'm unsure if I've made an appropriate meme or not. Live time advice would be great. A teeny bit more direction or instruction would be helpful. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** It is definitely worth a try but outcomes are going to look like you "just tried" so don't expect masterpieces. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sharing our messaging. Being able to reintroduce the images into my social media content. Being forced to think like a designer. It does bring more views to our projects. ### 4. one of the most useful photo editing software **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** pinky s. | Finance Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2022 **What do you like best about Pablo?** it is quite user-friendly.

Additionally, it is pretty accessible online and very straightforward to use. It only takes few clicks to quickly design and download any social media banners and postcards. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** More advanced design editing features are missing with this free tool. For instance, though it has a part to upload custom logos, there is no way to make those logos transparent to fit the post background. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Pablo being free, straightforward to use, and instantly accessible from web browsers and anywhere, has become a valuable asset to me whenever I need to quickly design and download banners and postcards for our social media accounts. Though it has a pretty limited designing feature, it is excellent at providing without any charge. ### 6.

Pablo makes it super easy to create images to accompany your social media posts **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2017 **What do you like best about Pablo?** I started using Pablo because I use Buffer. When I first started using it, I thought it was just OK. Now that it incorporates images from my two favorite sources of free stock photos--Unsplash & Pixabay--I truly LOVE it! I use it often to quickly create an image to go with my Twitter posts (= tweets!). It is just SO easy--I'm not exaggerating. I was using another service that wasn't free and then it was a pain to download the image I created and use it--now it is just as easy as 1-2-3. It's especially good for me because it works seamlessly with Buffer. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** I can't think of anything. I need to explore it for other platforms beyond Twitter, but my guess is it would be just as easy to use. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** If you use Buffer, you should definitely give Pablo a try! **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tweets _always_ do better when they have an image to accompany them. More people read my content because it's easy for me to create an image with Pablo. Also, there is sometimes this thing that when I try to share a piece of content from certain platforms, my image won't appear--so Pablo to the rescue. I can easily recreate the image that I posted with the piece of content because it pulls from the same sources I pull images from. Problem solved! ### 9. Best free app for image editing **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** VIPIN Y. | Software Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2021 **What do you like best about Pablo?** You can edit any image at no cost means free and the editing functions are very good. You can create interactive images here. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** Nothing as of now. but if they add Vector File Support. Then it will be the best app for image editing. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used this app when I need something to post or upload an image on any social media sites. ### 10. Your image on social media **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mario A. | Diseñador, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Pablo?** A simple application to use, completely online, and allows you to create banners in different formats in just a few seconds. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** Although it is a tool designed to be simple, it would be good if it were complemented a bit more with some more powerful tools like selective color equalization, blur, etc. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** Very useful when you need to update your social networks from any computer with an internet connection. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is the best solution to keep social media updated quickly and easily. It offers multiple formats and templates, and the finish is simple but effective. ### 11. Quick graphic content for social media in the simplest way **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** María P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Pablo?** I love that there are tons of photos available to use as well as the ability to upload our own photos. This really adds diversity to our posts and allows me to personalize each one without reusing the same photos post after post. It also allows you to customize each photo/post for the different photo dimensions across different platforms. FB and Twitter have wider dimensions than Instagram, so it's not a one-size-fits-all. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** Although Pablo has its great qualities, it would be nice if there were more photo editing filters. You can add logos, text, and shapes, but the filters it allows you to apply are too strong. I wish there were a way to change the opacity of the filters or to have new filters. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** If you are looking for software that gives you access to stock imagery and allows you to customize photos, Pablo is an excellent choice. What's even better is that it is included with Buffer - a social media automation software. My company uses Buffer to implement social media, and the fact that Pablo is incorporated with it has been super easy and user-friendly. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am already a Buffer client, so the integration of Pablo with this scheduling tool is what I prefer. If I ever have a "content block" when trying to fill my message schedule, I can easily create a shareable message relevant to my audience in less than 15 minutes. ### 12. Great for social media posts **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Frank R. | Marketing Specialist, Market Research, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Pablo?** Pablo is another tool we use alongside Canva, because one does something better than the other. I personally find Pablo more suitable for the purposes of quickly creating and editing images aimed at posting on social media. The tool is simply dedicated to this purpose better than Canva. All is in there and the process becomes extermely fast and hassle-free. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** While the available filters are plenty, there aren't enough for some purposes and image backgrounds to make the text look nice, **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** Pablo is a simple sittle tool for quickly crafting beatiful social media images. It's definitely worth giving a few minutes to mastering the tutorials and you can make you social media profiles shine with it. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quickly creating beatiful mages for sharing theme via corporate social media acounts. ### 13. Flexible tool, is a paid version around the corner? **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Inez V. | Account Manager, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2018 **What do you like best about Pablo?** Ready-made templates for several leading social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram namely) Tens of thousands of free images available Credible fonts for text additions Highly credible search functionality I really get great use out of the free Chrome extension, a truly helpful and remarkable bonus tool You can create an easy interface that incorporates a standard logo to brand your social media imagery **What do you dislike about Pablo?** No pre-set template for LinkedIn A PowerPoint background sizing would be helpful You've got shades to toy with the image, but it's nowhere near on the same page as Photoshop **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** I review this product without firm knowledge as to whether it stacks up favourably against the likes of Photoshop Lightroom, the leader of the pack in Photo editing. That said, many commentators on Lightroom note that the tool lacks text editing. Clearly, Pablo's got Lightroom beat in this regard, so it's ideal for those looking to make use of content-filled imagery. And whilst you aren't in a position to do nearly as much editing of the image itself on Pablo as one would in other tools, it's a free tool that gives you something in the way of blurs, tints and contrasts. Is what it is. Could a paid model be around the corner? One can wonder, much like how Canva has done. Given the time and budget, you tap into Adobe. Given time and minimal budget, choose Canva. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I seek to quickly create social media images to accompany our social media plan in a rapid, on-the-go environment. ### 14. Makes Social Media Posts A Breeze! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Dairy | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2018 **What do you like best about Pablo?** I love that there are tons of photos available to use as well as the ability to upload our own photos. It really adds diversity to our posts and allows me to customize each one more without re-using the same photos post after post. It also lets you customize each photo/post for the different photo dimensions across the various platforms. FB and Twitter have widers dimensions than Instagram so it is not a one size fits all. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** I'm not a huge fan of it being a completely different site than buffer. They seem to be connected but are not. Having to switch between the two sites is a hassle. I would prefer if the aspects of Pablo were just an available on Buffer. I have also ran into some scheduling problems a few times when posting with Buffer through Pablo. I will select a specific date and time, but then it will post it at the next set schedule time instead. I now check Buffer to make sure it is really scheduled correctly. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** Give it a try! **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I currently use Pablo to create interesting and traffic-generating posts for the company. The benefits are a diverse set of images and customization options. ### 15. Easy and Powerful tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bruna A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Pablo?** You have more than 600.000 images to choose from which is already great, but you can also upload your image and logo, the basic filters provided gives a new life to a monotonous picture, it has a nice selection of fonts, easy to share and download. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** Some filter should have an advanced option and only three types of size. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** Pablo is a free tool to create simple images for social media, it's simple and easy to use to create engaging posts. Since costs nothing, you can easily try to see if Pablo has everything you need. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Pablo to create images for posts on Twitter and Tumblr with messages celebrating milestones achieved, to announce promotions, and to engage with customers and followers. ### 16. A Daily Use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle K. | Running Coach, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Pablo?** It's SO EASY to quickly and simply add some text to an image and since I use Buffer as well, goes right into being scheduled into whatever social platforms I desire. SO EASY. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** Its beauty is its curse - Pablo is incredibly quick and easy to use, but that means the features available are super simple. If I want to do more than quickly add text to an image, I need to go elsewhere. But if I just need to add some text and I want to put it right in my Buffer, BOOM, easy peasy. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** If you use Buffer, definitely check out Pablo. Even if you don't use Buffer, Pablo still allows you to share directly to social media and is a great way to quickly make some text on images. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Pablo primarily with my Instagram + Buffer, and it's such a quick tool to get great looking text on image graphics. ### 17. Quick graphic contents for social media the easy way **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Germán Andrés C. | Content Marketing / Technical Writer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2016 **What do you like best about Pablo?** Simplicity is the key for this tool. It has a clear and concrete goal and this is applied to the UX with not so many options and features that confuse non-designers. Any person will have very good and quick results without needing designers knowledge and use the pieces in Buffer or download them to be used on other platforms. The free images library has very good photos but you can upload your own pictures as well. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** The design options are limited in sizes, text placeholders and filters wich could not very unattractive for designers. I understand that adding too many features could confuse some users but maybe some extra filters and free text placeholders could improve usability. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** If you need graphic contents for your social networks and you don't have a problem with the restrictions of the tool go ahead. It does the job quickly and is very easy to use. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simple social media graphic contents that usually are don using designers. You can post quotes, offers and many other messages with attractive graphic pieces easily and quickly. ### 18. Pablo - An app by Buffer : Could do a lot better **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hemantha C. | Data Analyst, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2017 **What do you like best about Pablo?** Although in it's early stages - in Pablo, all you have to do is compose your text, pick a background picture, and later download or share it. As simple as that. We can utilize our own Background images too.Pablo changes it dimensions that suit Twitter or Facebook. The "insert graphic or logo" feature is very commendable. No heavy lifting to do for designing social media creatives or try hard to mug the various image dimensions that come with designing them. The chrome extension also does a great job when you copy a text from the web pages - it just is an added ability that you don't have to open an extra web page yourself. Pablo avoids that inconvenience. Kudos for that! **What do you dislike about Pablo?** Pablo lacks a lot of things and needs many improvements if it has to stand out.It currently doesn't offer support for LinkedIn and Google +. Also, the customization is very limited. The fonts are not all good. Pablo is only on the web and doesn't have any Application for iOS or Android. Pablo could also be more flexible about the resolutions. It is only good if you want to use it once in a while - for example when scheduling on Buffer and you need a quick design to add to your tweet or post. It is not as striking as Buffer though. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** Pablo is good if you want to try it for a while - considering it does a great and quick job at creating decent images with text. But it is nothing outstanding like - Canva or Adobe Spark Post. Pablo is still evoluting and needs lots and lots of improvements and features that have to be added to make it work. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being a Social Media Marketer, I needed a tool that could give decent images with the correct resolutions for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest. Pablo helps one to just select your Quote or Matter Clipping and instantly format on a background of your choice and immediately use it or add it to your Buffer schedule. The text on the image automatically gets added to our tweet or fb post which can later be edited if we like. ### 19. Fast, easy and simple **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexandro L. | Pharmaceutic, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2017 **What do you like best about Pablo?** How easy it is. I mean, you just upload a shot, choose the style of your text, write what you want... and you are done. No weird things, no more options, no more time than the one needed to do something easy... A simple tool to get easy images with text. Also, being able to share directly to social channels from the app is a great point. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** Resolution, it could improve and reach the original resolution given by the shot. Right now you get a compressed and low-res image that looks cool on social media tools like Facebook or Twitter, but too small to print or you use on some websites with great retina resolution (it's unfair saying this because Pablo was made by Buffer focusing on social media images, so the low-res can be taken as an "optimized" version for sharing) **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** If you need a simple, easy and fast app to create images with customized text, Pablo is the way to go. You get what you need to create images for daily use on social media channels, it could get new features, but looks like they update the tool slow... so check it, if fits your needs, well done, if not, maybe you will need to check other app to get what you are looking for as probably won't get an update with new features for several months. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting images customized easily and fast with few lines, which makes a great impact on social media channels. ### 20. A great tool for quick image editing! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tina G. | Inhaberin, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2017 **What do you like best about Pablo?** Pablo is really easy to handle and it's fun to work with this tool! The created images can be easily shared over social networks. The special thing about Pablo is that you can use images from Unsplash or Pixabay. Of course, you can also upload your own images and edit them very easily. A truly recommendable tool from Buffer! **What do you dislike about Pablo?** There is a small drawback: Unfortunately, a text can only be inserted once. Here, I would wish for multiple options to insert several text passages. Perhaps one could even consider including images from kaboompics.com. I miss this provider with Pablo. Because there is also a great selection of photos that could be included. Who knows what the future holds with Pablo. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** Absolutely recommendable. The tool Pablo simplifies image creation for social media posts. I am very impressed, and that is not often the case! Even for users who are not skilled, this tool is easy to use. Being able to create images quickly without registration, Pablo is excellently suited for that! It is very easy! **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Image editing for social networks, postings for social networks, quick implementation of ideas, works without registration and is very easy to understand. A user does not need complex software to work with the tool. Design knowledge is also not necessarily required to work with Pablo. Therefore, the perfect tool to quickly and easily enhance your images. ### 21. A great way to post quote images on Twitter **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2017 **What do you like best about Pablo?** I really liked how easy it was to create decent photo quotes with Pablo. I found the format to be really simple to understand and creating graphics took a matter of one or two minutes...definitely a time saver over doing the same thing with Photoshop. Plus, the integration with Buffer was nice. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** I wish that Pablo could be accessed within Buffer. Sometimes it was annoying to have to go to a separate site to do it. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** Go into it knowing that your photo and text options will be limited, especially if you're used to working with apps like Photoshop. Aside from that, it's a quick, easy way for social media coordinators to create striking images. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Efficient ways to post various media on Twitter. The benefits are that we get some pretty cool looking graphics without having to hire a graphic designer. ### 22. Quick and easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2017 **What do you like best about Pablo?** I love that this interface sizes and layers the elements for you. I am not creative enough to do that myself plus creating posts is only part of my job, I have to get on to other things. I love that if I have a quote, a statistic or an event, I can search the art and put together a post in mere minutes. If the art doesn't suit the message, uploads are super easy. Sizing and position of logo is also easy. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** When you click the Share and Download button, the choices often drop off the screen. You have to "zoom out" to get the to bottom of the list of choices. WIsh it popped up instead of drop down. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** Easy and fast **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quickly creating memes for posting, scheduling them on the fly. ### 23. Best Social Media Manager for the casual user or small business. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Henk M. | Freelance Photographer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2017 **What do you like best about Pablo?** I like the ease and simplicity of Pablo as well as the ability to quickly and easily post across multiple social media channels and the most unique and absolute core feature I think is the ability to quickly and easily create graphic rich content without having to leave the app. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** I dislike that a paid membership is required to post on more than 3 channels, so if you are either a Social Media Junkie (like myself) or maybe a avid social media company and use a lot of networks you might want to check out another tool. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** Not my favorite tool to create media content to draw more attention to my tweets but I'm a photographer so if you are looking for an easy approach but still beautiful and personalized to your base this is a great tool. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Pablo is excellent in creating media rich, unique content/images across all your social networks, as well as helping you gain more impressions. ### 24. Quick Pics with Pablo **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2017 **What do you like best about Pablo?** Pablo is a quick and easy way to create social media graphics. I love the quotes and graphics built into the program - I always get inspiration when I log in. The ability to upload my own photos is a plus. It's great to be able to add our company logo to graphics, and the ability to post my graphic into Buffer is awesome! **What do you dislike about Pablo?** One of the only things I dislike is not being able to easily navigate to Pablo from within Buffer - as a Buffer product, it seems like there would be a button within Buffer to open Pablo as I'm creating graphics. I do have the Pablo extension loaded so that's a plus. It would also be nice to have my created graphics stored within Pablo. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** If you are looking for a quick and easy way to create graphics, Pablo is your answer! In less than 5 minutes, you are all set with a great graphic for a social media post or other use!

An easy way to create social media images **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adé S. | Film Academy Manager, Media Production, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2017 **What do you like best about Pablo?** I like the simple and easy way that I am able to make memes, quotes and images for social media posts. I don't have to scour the google images or at risk of copyright. Pablo has a big library of free image stock, from Pixabay, to allow easy use of really high quality images. And the dashboard is very to understand and to start implementing. Also, it is easy to download or share the meme/quote or images created to your social media. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** I really don't like that out of the 600k images available, it shows only about 30 of each keyword. Meaning I would have to think of the synonym of the same keyword to find another variation of the same thing. I wish it offers a different way of showing all the search terms instead of the limited 30. Also, I wish they would have a way to save a template so that I wouldn't have keep redoing our standard look again. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** I would recommend Pablo, if only to save time and bring about high quality images to your social media posts. Likewise, the ability to add branding means wherever the images you created is shared your company's logo goes with it - increasing your company's awareness. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finding content for social media is a huge hassle especially when your business is not big enough to hire someone to deal with the social media aspects. For our social media, we use a lot of quotes and memes, and we want to personalise them with our brand. Pablo solve that very easily. It has easy as going online, finding an image, type your text, add your logo or social media handles and off you go. This really has saved me a lot of time - I would recommend it to anyone dealing with social media contents. ### 31.

Makes my content feel inauthentic at times. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** A great alternative to Photoshop, and works great for those using Buffer.

The available images often match the theme of the content I share. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** Often after creating an image, when I intend to download it, the system just breaks! I don't exactly know what goes wrong but I have to refresh the page and restart the process. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** If you are looking for a tool which gets the work done with incredible level of easiness, Pablo is for you. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** There isn't a very critical business problem that I intend to solve with Pablo.

Picture Perfect **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katie H. | Digital Strategist, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2016 **What do you like best about Pablo?** I like using Pablo to generate media for my clients. I am a digital content strategist and spend my days creating and implementing content for my various clients. Some have excellent media to work with, but others have to rely on free stock images. Pablo makes it possible for me to locate several of these images in one place. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** Though Pablo has its great qualities, it would be nice if there were more photo editing filters. You can add logos, text, and shapes, but the filters it lets you apply are too strong. I wish there was a way to either change the filter opacity or have new filters. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** If you are looking for a software that gives you access to stock imagery and allows you to customize the photos, Pablo is a great choice. What's even better is that it is included with Buffer - a social media automation software. My company uses Buffer to implement social media and having Pablo incorporated with it has been super easy and user friendly. **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am a digital content strategist and spend my days creating and implementing content for my various clients.

Consistency is key **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jenny M. | Marketing Consultant, Staffing and Recruiting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2016 **What do you like best about Pablo?** The simplicity of it. The simplistic features of Pablo mean consistency is almost forced upon you. This can be great for those without design skills, who are looking to create a very simple image. **What do you dislike about Pablo?** The many restrictions when designing. This includes restrictions on text sizes and layouts. Adding additional features can also disrupt your current design. **Recommendations to others considering Pablo:** If you wish to be more creative than a line of text on top of an image, I'd look for more sophisticated software. However, for most social posts this allows you to make your point so much more visually appealing without having to open up heavy, time consuming and complicated software **What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to keep the company logo in a consistent location solves the issue of looking unprofessional, without much effort at all.
