I absolutely love this website! I use this site almost every single day at my job for photo editing and also for personal use - it is so easy to navigate!

Recently when I upload an image to Pickmonkey and try to edit, the bottom half of the picture is hidden. How can I fix this? I asked Pickmonkey about this a few weeks back but got nowhere, Please can someone fix this? I am a paying member.and in four years this has never happened. You usually get five stars but not this time.

Just like others, use free trial. I used for 5 minutes and didn't use again. Got billed 14.99. Can't stop it. Many more reviews got billed 72. Don't use.

They're Thieves
November 12, 2018

They take your money for years until you notice it even after you've cancelled your subscription. It clearly states when I try to log into my account that my subscription has been expired since 2016. I was charged in 2016 2017 and 2018. No explainations. No redunds. Dont give them your card info.

FRAUDULENT COMPANY
February 23, 2023

First off, I cannot stress this enough. NEVER agree to a free trial with this particular company, even if you plan to cancel. They will charge you for an annual subscription EVEN if you canceled on the same day you made an account. On Valentine's day, I used Pickmoney to make Twitch panels for my boyfriend. I decided to sign up for a free trial to get the most out of my experience but made sure to cancel soon after. Today (23rd), I was checking my statement when I saw a charge for $131.10 on the 21st. Picmonkey still charged me despite having canceled on the first day. I tried searching for a cancellation email but suspiciously did not receive one. Today, I canceled my subscription yet again and did receive one the second time around. Honestly, I would not be surprised if they do this on purpose to mind**** customers into believing that they did not cancel after all and to absolve themselves of any responsibility. Instead of calling customer service (waste of time), I immediately called my bank to report fraud and suggest anyone else with this problem do the same.

I have a screenshot of my account settings attached below. If you notice, they do not state the date when you first signed up for a free trial. I didn't even receive the typical "Welcome!" email on the day of.

Btw, I changed my billing address in hopes that it'll keep them from charging me in the future since there's no way to remove my card or delete my account.

I've been using PicMonkey for years. I loved it in the past, so I upgraded. It use to work great. I pay for a yearly subscription. I still love the tools BUT they're ALWAYS having issues, not working. That has been a big problem this year. I don't know why. When I try to have issues resolved through a representative, they don't get resolved. And it takes days of back and forth e-mails with them to get nowhere. One time I even had one of the representatives get pretty snarky with me. After many days, the tools start working again but they're temperamental. You have to be patient. As you use the tools, some of them take a while to apply. I have the most issues with the cloning tool sadly because it's one of my favorite tools. I use the clone tool and that just pretty much crashes it. My laptop is a fairly new gaming laptop and the diagnostic we did with the PicMonkey rep showed that it was working perfectly fine. So they wanted me to use a different browser. I didn't want to but I did. That did not resolve the issues. When I told them I just want my money back for the remainder of the year they told me no. I will not be renewing with them next year.

What's a 7 day FREE trial for if they charge you $70 3 days in. I even emailed a week ago asking for money back because I cancelled my free trial. NO ONE HAS GOTTEN BACK WITH ME. If I do not receive any contact before Christmas, I'll be disputing it with my bank. DON'T SIGN UP FOR PICMONKEY.

Can't ever cancel
August 20, 2023

7 day free trial turned into a year of monthly charges. Now can't cancel for second year! Website puts you into a loop with no unsubscribe. Fraud!

I tried the free trial and canceled the day before. They still charged me and the only way of contacting them is through email... no answer. I had to call my back and pay for a stop payment!

Thieves
December 27, 2018

Been trying for 7 days to cancel my subscription and get a refund; NO RESPONSE FROM PICMONKEY. Beware of this company; they aren't even able to help you via phone. Will NEVER use them again.

It's a Trap
May 10, 2018

I started the free trail. My Dad passed away. I didn't think to check. They took a payment in 2017 and 2018 and have the WORST customer service ever.

Every time I try to use this app it takes for ever to do anything because it freezes up all time. Does it work better on certain web browsers?
