PicsArt Photo Editor is a tool and app that helps you edit all types of photos on a mobile device. Use the app to get rid of red eyes or change the background in an image before sharing it online or sending the photo to others. This app comes loaded with filters and tools that change your images and make them look professional.
Loading the app takes you to the community page and shows you the buttons that you can use. If you find the layout confusing or want to know what each button does, visit the website to find everything that you need. The website shows you both the icons that correspond to each button and what you can do with them.
To use PicsArt Photo Editor, you need to import photos from your device. The app has a button that allows you to import all images at the same time, but you can also import just one or a handful of images. Use any of the tool buttons to make basic changes to the photos. You can crop the image to get rid of the background or focus on a specific person and use the rotate button to change the orientation of the photo. Some buttons let you change the size of an image and crop it in a certain way.
Once you feel comfortable using the app, try some of the effects tools. Some of these tools help you correct and change the colors in a photo, which comes in handy if there wasn't much light when you took it. The paper effects tools add fun touches to your images. You will also find tools similar to those found in premium apps, including drawing and overlay options. The drawing tools allow you to add shapes and other images on top of a photo. With the overlay option, you can combine multiple photos into one.
Get more out of PicsArt Photo Editor with the stickers and filters. Have you ever wanted to take an Old West-style photo with a sepia overlay? This app allows you to import a photo and add a sepia filter over the top. While you can save the new photo that you make, you can also retain a copy of the original. The filter tools also help you add more light to a photo and tone down a dark background.
Using the sticker tools helps you have a little more fun with your photos. You can use standard tools or create custom stickers from others. Cutting your images into stickers gives you small photos that you can share on social media sites and in the PicsArt Photo Editor community. The app gives you full access to the sticker library where you can save your favorite stickers that other users created.
Some of the issues with PicsArt Photo Editor include that it features far too many tools and has a busy interface. Many new users will find the layout confusing and have a hard time figuring out what the tools and buttons do. When sharing your work, you can only upload one image and to one website at a time, which can take hours. Some users also wished that the app had a feathering option when cutting and trimming photos.
PicsArt Photo Editor is a good option for those who love taking photos with their mobile devices and want to edit their work. After you get past the learning curve, you shouldn't have any issues using this app to edit your photos. Use PicsArt Photo Editor to create stickers and fun photos that you can share online.
