Picsart AI Photo Video Editor Ratings and Reviews

I’ve read a lot of reviews complaining about how expensive and not worth it the PicsArt gold is but I personally think it’s not too big of a problem. You may not have access to as many things like stickers but there’s almost always a way to get around it. Like if you can’t use a cloud with a face just take a plain cloud, add some effects, and throw a face on top of it. Then use the Blend Tool. It may not be as efficient but it actually also helps you use your creativity more. Or the “you can’t screenshot thing” actually only happened when I was offline. There are some problems, however. I think they shouldn’t limit you to like 10 texts per “layer”. When I try to make templates and things it’s quite annoying since I can’t match the style and color once I exceed 10. Also the fact that if you save something you were working on for a Challenge as a Draft Project, once you finish it it’s just a regular edit and not even entered into the Challenge. Plus most of the AI generated images only fit half of what I said in the text. So basically, I think PicsArt is awesome app. It’s subscription is fine, every app needs to make money somehow. It’s not flawless but I think it can easily improve.

I started using Picsart and I fell in love with it. I use it for all of my editing. I find myself scrolling and looking at filters for what seems like hours. I like to participate in the challenges. But there is one problem… lagging. Lagging has been present recently but right now I’m creating an aesthetic bored through the app and it glitched out and lags and often even kicks me off the app. Sometimes I have to wait a couple of minutes for it to allow me to move a photo around since it’s lagging so much. I know it isn’t my phone because I don’t have problems with any other apps and I have Picsart updated. In fact, I had Picsart open while in another app and it was glitching out and lagging and kept crashing until I closed out Picsart. I also had my camera and Picsart open at the same time and it wouldn’t even let me access my camera until I closed Picsart out, it was just a black screen. And sometimes the lagging and glitching gets to the point where when I try to turn off my phone, it glitches and lags out also. When I hit the off button, it’s delayed for a few seconds and when I try to turn it back on, it’s also delayed for a couple of seconds. I really enjoy this app, but the lagging and glitching and crashing is very annoying and sometimes makes me start all over again on my projects once it finally loads. I hope this gets fixed at some point, and if you read my review, thank you.

Review: Honestly, I like this app! It’s great whenever you need to edit a photo (remove something or add), and even to create something. For example, making a calendar. You could use it to stay organized, and it lets you express your creativity.

My issue: The only complaint I have is that with the new update - You can’t take screenshots anymore for free. I get why this is emplaced, but it’d be very nice if this was dropped. People who don’t want to pay will end up downloading other apps. (This is if they need to use screenshots for something.) Overall though, it’s a nice app and lets you edit.

If you’re new: This app is for you if you need to edit photos. There’s a lot of options to choose from. You can add stickers, use effects, add texts, change the background, edit someone or something out, draw, add shapes, and the list goes on. It’s also very simple to use once you get the hang of it. However, like almost every other app, there is of course things you have pay for. Not a complaint since it helps the owners of the game to make money somehow, but just putting that out there. For example, you do need to make an in-app purchase in order to get access to all the stickers. Also, as mentioned you cannot take screenshots without a purchase, as well. In addition, though, the app is very nice for the few side wishes that come along that with it. Would recommend!

Hey there, thank you for writing in. The screenshot/screen recording function is not available with certain features like Effects, Retouch, Remove, and more. You can use the screenshot/screen recording function when you subscribe to Gold. Learn how to subscribe here: https://support.picsart.com/hc/articles/360002231997

I’ve been using PicsArt as my main editing app for quite a few years now and it has become my best friend. The multiple features are easy to use and unique to PicsArt. The variety of stickers provided by the community is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and the fact that you can use them in iMessage is just- wow. One of the only huge problems I’ve had with the apps is crashing. I will sometimes do paid commissions on this app which can take up to three hours. It really angers me when I spend so much time on an edit just for the app to crash without literally anything I just did saving. Just a few hours ago I was doing a commission, and then the app crashed and the only thing that saved was the background. I had made a full on edit of two people just for it to vanish. Another problem I have with this app is having to pay to load fonts in- it’s really inconvenient because I have to load my edit into another free app, add text, reload the picture into PicsArt, and continue editing when I could save 10+ minutes by just being able to load in even a limited number of fonts before I have to pay. Another great option would be more fonts already in the app. I don’t think the selection has changed at all, if so very little since 2017. Anyways, great app! I would love if the developers would address some of these issues to make everyone’s experience amazing! Thank you, PicsArt!

Hi, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Would you mind sending us a message with more detailed information (the more details, the better!) at our Help Center at https://picsart.support We will investigate it and get back to you as soon as possible!

It is a lovely app! It’s very good to make edits and videos. There is only one problem. I saw this app needed to be updated. I am yet to update it, but when I was reading the one star reviews, something caught my attention. They were talking about how bad the update is and how you basically have to pay for so much more or you can’t even screenshot your edits. Since I haven’t updated yet (and I probably won’t until a long time) this didn’t happen to me but I’m concerned when I update it, I’ll have to buy so much! Please fix this update, I wouldn’t like to think your a greedy app, but it seems like it. Please please please don’t do that! Don’t be a greedy app, Picsart is amazing. I wouldn’t like to uninstall or stop playing it all together. Please listen to the people, and change it so we can all enjoy it, premium or not. Also, I’ve read some other reviews and the developer response is usually the same like 3 things over and over again, saying stuff like “there will always be a free version of Picsart” I feel like premium has taken over many’s editing experience, making it worse and worse for ppl that don’t have premium. I feel it will cause further problems and cause your app to go downhill. Please respond to me, but actually take note of what I’m saying and don’t copy/paste or say the SAME exact thing though it might not be true. Thank you for your time. -Slay

Hey there. Thank you for your honest feedback. Please note, that Picsart is a free app. But it does include some premium features that you have the option to purchase.

Having said that, we always encourage to use the latest version of the app for maximum optimal performance.
Once again, thank you for your feedback and stay awesome!

Alright- so I have a lot of problems with this app. First of all; it’s so hard to make anything without premium gold. Second, it crashes often and I end up losing more than half of my progress on an edit. It’s really obnoxious and I’d like it to be fixed. My phone doesn’t crash with any other app so I know it’s a problem revolving solely around this app. Third, (this is the most annoying thing about it) it will just randomly stop working and it refuses to let me apply the layer of stickers I put on it. It refuses to let me apply anything on it. And when I try? It sends me to the “GeT PiCsArt PreMIuM tOday!¡!!” Screen. Meaning i have to get premium to be able to even continue working on my edit. And any logical person would think- “okay well you can just screenshot it right? NO. NO I CANT. BECAUSE WHEN I TRIED THE SCREENSHOT LITERALLY DIDNT EVEN WORK- IT WAS JUST A PICTURE OF PURE WHITE. AND THIS LITTLE GHOST EMOJI THING POPPED UP AND IT SAID “well at least you tried 👻 give your edit it’s due credit subscribe now to save your work and share your creative vision” so yeah. I’m p¡ssed off and I’m consistently never using this app again unless this is fixed. Because this isn’t fair. Yeah so if you dont want this to happen to you maybe your shouldn’t get this app. I’m really angry right now so sorry if that sounded really mean, I just wanna make some weird core edits- man. T-T anyway have a good day.

We promise to get back to you within 1 day. Once we understand the core of the problem and resolve it, we’ll set you up with 3 months of Picsart Gold subscription for free!

Well, I’m just gonna say right off: I love this app. It has such a variety of everything for editing and you can seriously make some awesome creations on this app. But the worst part is, once you’ve made something with multiple layers of stickers, filtering, drawings, photos, etc., it completely freezes and crashes. I’ve lost so, SO many projects because of this app crashing. I love to edit photos and make wild aesthetic edits with them, but I also love to layer and continuously add things, which the app can’t handle. After about later 25, if you hit the undo arrow, it’ll load for 15+ minutes and evidently most likely crash. My phone has lots of storage so I know that it’s the app crashing. I’ve had to just start taking screenshots of my progress every once in awhile in case it crashes I still have a save point (I can’t save it because I’m still layering and moving things around).
Overall, I use the sticker feature more out of anything. I love how people can upload their own stickers and such and you can share yours. It’s a great way to share creativity and really helpful to make cool photos edits. But the app just can’t handle the excessive layering that I’m trying to do. I haven’t heard of any other app that can do this much and NOT give me an annoying watermark on my photo. I’m not sure how fixable this issue is but if it is, I would be over the moon and definitely change my rating to five stars.
Thank you.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us! We agree, crashes are the worst. Quick fix: Go to your device Settings – Apps – PicsArt – Storage – Clear cache – Clear Data.

I’ve used this app for 1 or 2 years I’m pretty sure. Overall, it’s been a pretty great and trustworthy app. Is has TONS of options to edit your photos and it’s helpful! I loved creating my account and making so many friends! 💗 Me and my friends share many memories from Picsart! However, every good thing has a bad thing to go along with it.

I was always bothered on the price of the subscription. It’s expensive and I don’t think I would spend that much money on an app. And a lot of the features require needing a subscription. And I understand tons of apps have subscriptions, and I respect that some people enjoy to buy them! But I noticed there are very limited filters that are available to people without the subscription. So maybe, if Picsart possibly added some more features to be available for people without the subscription, that would be helpful!

Other than that, there isn’t much I would complain about! Picsart is a great app to spread your wings a little and have a touch of creativity. Actually, I was never interested in virtual design or virtual art until I discovered Picsart! So thank you for inspiring me and I’m sure many others will be inspired! Thank you for taking your time to read my review. I highly recommend Picsart to any age! Have a good rest of your day/night! 💖✨

Hey there, thanks for reaching out! We’re always working to incorporate Creator feedback and improve Picsart. We’ll make sure to pass your feedback along for future planning.

The first thing I wanna say is right off the bat Picsart is a amazing editing app and I use it for editing all my photos. But I do have a couple suggestions. I would like to start off with hashtags. I get that hashtags are going to make a Photos easier to find and better to sort in categories but I don’t like how I have to do a hashtag every single photo. I would also like to say that there is a ad right when you open the app and you have to wait a couple seconds to exit out of it it’s kind of annoying. There’s ads every time you save or post a photo. The third thing I would like to say is that I don’t get why we need an email to follow people or write a comment because some people don’t have emails. I also like to make different accounts for different photos but I don’t have 1000 emails. It’s also very hard for people to find you without an email which I don’t like. I have one more thing to say I wish it was easier to get featured or on the discover page. I would also like if PicsArt could have a creator of the week or creator of the day. That would make it so much easier to get noticed by people. I also want Chat to come back because I had so many friends and now I can’t talk to them privately. In other words I love Picsart so much these are just suggestions. ❤️❤️❤️

I don't know what happened to this app... I have been using this app since it FIRST came out... That has to be at LEAST 10 years, but pretty sure much longer than that even. I loved that it was free, but I purchased sticker packs and other items here and there. Now I can barely use it. When I am trying to use it on my iPad, literally EVERY 30 seconds it launches Safari and some random window with spam... Including invitations to naked photo sharing (definitely not something I have looked up independently) and every other spam window possible. Not even just pop up ads, which are annoying enough, but kicking me OUT of PicsArt and into Safari (which is NOT my default browser) and then into some spam or virus link taking me to web page telling me I've won something, or want me to buy something completely unrelated to PicsArt. It's impossible to do a project because I am kicked out every 30 seconds; and there are plenty of other free apps out there that I can do the same work with... So... Sheesh... Unless that stops I can't use this again.

I just looked at Safari which I never use and in the few hours I just used PicsArt to try to do project, it opened more than 200 browser windows in Safari, one for each time it kicked me out...

I was actually thinking of getting the paid subscription but these ad links worry me so much that I am concerned with their information collection.

Hi there, thanks for the review. We are extremely sorry for this situation :( Please contact us at support@picsart.com and send us the screenshots of the ads, so we can check everything and block them.
