PicMonkey is easy to use. It offers a wide variety of options to edit your images. I really like the addition of the Hub so that I can go make and make further changes to an image I've already edited.

It is a knock-off version of Canva with not as much to offer. I definitely suggest adding more features like canva to be able to compete against.
