Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • GIMP is a freeware image editing program. The main benefit of GIMP for myself was it was the only freeware tool to have extensions to support texture packing for animation files. With that said, the software has pretty much all options one would expect in an image editing service. Without extensions I did not notice anything in this that could be uniquely only done in GIMP on a high level.
  • Open Source and Free. Great image editing feature - Photo retouching. Good documentation / tutorials on website. Available across OS.
  • I've been using GIMP for over a decade, and I love how the app has grown. One of its biggest strengths is that it's open source. If someone has an idea for a useful or interesting graphic effect, someone else will make a plugin that does it. It's the best PhotoShop dupe out there and can do almost anything the very expensive program offers.
  • I find this software is so much like photoshop, I don’t miss a thing. Best of all, it is a free solution.
  • GIMP has a lot of features that are on Photoshop, but GIMP is free, contrary to Adobe's Photoshop. It also is open-source software, so you can customize it at your own will.

Cons

  • The user interface of this image editor versus the closest competitor, Paint.net is severely lacking. The ease of use and finding features is exceedingly difficult as well. I also have noticed the performance for this tool is substantially worse in my experience then other comparable image editors. GIMP also natively does not support DDS files which was a problem for my project.
  • Interface is not as refined as Photoshop so not as easy to use, especially if you have used PS already.
  • GIMP has a steep learning curve, and for some people it's too steep. But if you're willing to put in the time and watch a lot of YouTube video tutorials, you'll have a powerful program at your disposal. The biggest lack I've found is no good support for the YMCK colors needing for print applications.
  • The software can be buggy at times, but so can Photoshop.
  • I haven't found much problems while using GIMP, only that some things are hidden in the menus.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I don't even know who it can be useful for, because those videos or previews are the same and have been used by everyone. If you want to stand out, then Renderforest won't help you.
  • It's very user friendly, as well as the lot of options in template. Multiple size and quality as needs.
  • I like the easy to use templates. For those who are starting out, this is easy to use and I also like the feature to get those to help you on your website. You don't use up a license for some from the team to help with website. This is a plus when dealing with websites in multi-languages. Mockups are great when you are trying to see how your brand or logo will look like. Gives your audience a realistic look of what they might be getting. Not only that, but the team is able to see if it will work or not. They have suggestions to help improve their services, so it's imperative to inquire if you are trying to see improvement.
  • A lot of creativity when it comes to logos and video animation, and the fact that users can customize their videos and logo. I was looking all over the place but could not find a website with such features.
  • I liked everything they advertised. The videos are nice, and it’s not that difficult to use. I rated it 5 stars because they are pioneers in this space, but I think they actually deserve 4.

Cons

  • The announced AI does not work. Tech support takes a long time to respond. The price does not match the quality. Limited video editing functionality.
  • High rendering time, no built-in images as search.
  • Limited on templates, but ok for those who are learning. For website, limited on the amount of languages to use, looking forward to when this is lifted. Far as for other services, limited but are doable for learners. As you start to get more creative you may find that you are limited. Tickets opened could have a quicker turnaround time when escalated.
  • I think the only bad thing about this website is the price.
  • There are only a few things I don’t like. The video sometimes takes a really long time to be created, and you can’t create more than one simultaneously.
