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

  • Amazing team updates the app frequently. The editor is super easy and fun to use. You get unlimited background remover tools with a pro subscription. Templates are amazing and easy to edit. You can create posters, videos and gifs all in one tool. All sizes are available for every social media platform.
  • Sincerely the software has given a lot of advantages to my way of working because I feel more comfortable with its tools. I have been able to create different projects from websites for new clients and advertising through graphic design tools. It is fantastic; its price is not high and does not generate distrust when acquiring it.
  • I like Crello because it covers an incredible quality in web design and graphics in different shades, I have been able to simplify my creations to a solid level, it is not slow at all and the learning curve is not steep compared to other software. I also consider that the price for the product is incredible.
  • In my opinion, the design a lot modern compare to competitor. I like the design, but choices of design is not much, hope Crello can add more new template time to time.
  • This is one of the best software programs for easily creating images and videos for posting. It's so easy to use.

Cons

  • If you create a design on desktop it cannot be edited on mobile and vice versa.
  • I want the program to be a little more didactic for those using this type of software for the first time.
  • I dislike the fact that it is a little unknown compared to other top programs, it would be ideal if the managers would invest a little more in advertising, so the user forum would grow more.
  • Some features are not available compared to the competitor, soonest I believe Crello will have it. For free account choice is very limited compare to competitor, basically unable to attract people to use free account (in my opinion), not much impact for me as I am using premium account
  • Really there's not anything bad I could say about this program.
