What do you like best about Pablo?

I love that there are tons of photos available to use as well as the ability to upload our own photos. This really adds diversity to our posts and allows me to personalize each one without reusing the same photos post after post. It also allows you to customize each photo/post for the different photo dimensions across different platforms. FB and Twitter have wider dimensions than Instagram, so it's not a one-size-fits-all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

Although Pablo has its great qualities, it would be nice if there were more photo editing filters. You can add logos, text, and shapes, but the filters it allows you to apply are too strong. I wish there were a way to change the opacity of the filters or have new filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pablo:

If you are looking for software that gives you access to stock imagery and allows you to customize photos, Pablo is an excellent choice. What is even better is that it is included with Buffer - a social media automation software. My company uses Buffer to implement social media and the fact that Pablo is incorporated with it has been super easy and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am already a Buffer client, so the integration of Pablo with this scheduling tool is what I prefer. If I ever have a "content block" when trying to fill my message schedule, I can easily create a shareable message relevant to my audience in less than 15 minutes.

What do you like best about Pablo?

Pablo is another tool we use alongside Canva, because one does something better than the other. I personally find Pablo more suitable for the purposes of quickly creating and editing images aimed at posting on social media. The tool is simply dedicated to this purpose better than Canva. All is in there and the process becomes extermely fast and hassle-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

While the available filters are plenty, there aren't enough for some purposes and image backgrounds to make the text look nice, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pablo:

Pablo is a simple sittle tool for quickly crafting beatiful social media images. It's definitely worth giving a few minutes to mastering the tutorials and you can make you social media profiles shine with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pablo?

Ready-made templates for several leading social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram namely)

Tens of thousands of free images available

Credible fonts for text additions

Highly credible search functionality

I really get great use out of the free Chrome extension, a truly helpful and remarkable bonus tool

You can create an easy interface that incorporates a standard logo to brand your social media imagery Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

No pre-set template for LinkedIn

A PowerPoint background sizing would be helpful

You've got shades to toy with the image, but it's nowhere near on the same page as Photoshop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pablo:

I review this product without firm knowledge as to whether it stacks up favourably against the likes of Photoshop Lightroom, the leader of the pack in Photo editing. That said, many commentators on Lightroom note that the tool lacks text editing. Clearly, Pablo's got Lightroom beat in this regard, so it's ideal for those looking to make use of content-filled imagery. And whilst you aren't in a position to do nearly as much editing of the image itself on Pablo as one would in other tools, it's a free tool that gives you something in the way of blurs, tints and contrasts. Is what it is.

Could a paid model be around the corner? One can wonder, much like how Canva has done. Given the time and budget, you tap into Adobe. Given time and minimal budget, choose Canva. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I seek to quickly create social media images to accompany our social media plan in a rapid, on-the-go environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

I'm not a huge fan of it being a completely different site than buffer. They seem to be connected but are not. Having to switch between the two sites is a hassle. I would prefer if the aspects of Pablo were just an available on Buffer. I have also ran into some scheduling problems a few times when posting with Buffer through Pablo. I will select a specific date and time, but then it will post it at the next set schedule time instead. I now check Buffer to make sure it is really scheduled correctly.

What do you like best about Pablo?

You have more than 600.000 images to choose from which is already great, but you can also upload your image and logo, the basic filters provided gives a new life to a monotonous picture, it has a nice selection of fonts, easy to share and download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

Some filter should have an advanced option and only three types of size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pablo:

Pablo is a free tool to create simple images for social media, it's simple and easy to use to create engaging posts. Since costs nothing, you can easily try to see if Pablo has everything you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pablo?

It's SO EASY to quickly and simply add some text to an image and since I use Buffer as well, goes right into being scheduled into whatever social platforms I desire. SO EASY. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

Its beauty is its curse - Pablo is incredibly quick and easy to use, but that means the features available are super simple. If I want to do more than quickly add text to an image, I need to go elsewhere. But if I just need to add some text and I want to put it right in my Buffer, BOOM, easy peasy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pablo:

If you use Buffer, definitely check out Pablo. Even if you don't use Buffer, Pablo still allows you to share directly to social media and is a great way to quickly make some text on images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Pablo primarily with my Instagram + Buffer, and it's such a quick tool to get great looking text on image graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Pablo?

Simplicity is the key for this tool. It has a clear and concrete goal and this is applied to the UX with not so many options and features that confuse non-designers. Any person will have very good and quick results without needing designers knowledge and use the pieces in Buffer or download them to be used on other platforms.

The free images library has very good photos but you can upload your own pictures as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

The design options are limited in sizes, text placeholders and filters wich could not very unattractive for designers. I understand that adding too many features could confuse some users but maybe some extra filters and free text placeholders could improve usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pablo:

If you need graphic contents for your social networks and you don't have a problem with the restrictions of the tool go ahead. It does the job quickly and is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simple social media graphic contents that usually are don using designers. You can post quotes, offers and many other messages with attractive graphic pieces easily and quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pablo?

Although in it's early stages - in Pablo, all you have to do is compose your text, pick a background picture, and later download or share it. As simple as that. We can utilize our own Background images too.Pablo changes it dimensions that suit Twitter or Facebook. The "insert graphic or logo" feature is very commendable. No heavy lifting to do for designing social media creatives or try hard to mug the various image dimensions that come with designing them. The chrome extension also does a great job when you copy a text from the web pages - it just is an added ability that you don't have to open an extra web page yourself. Pablo avoids that inconvenience. Kudos for that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

Pablo lacks a lot of things and needs many improvements if it has to stand out.It currently doesn't offer support for LinkedIn and Google +. Also, the customization is very limited. The fonts are not all good. Pablo is only on the web and doesn't have any Application for iOS or Android. Pablo could also be more flexible about the resolutions. It is only good if you want to use it once in a while - for example when scheduling on Buffer and you need a quick design to add to your tweet or post. It is not as striking as Buffer though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pablo:

Pablo is good if you want to try it for a while - considering it does a great and quick job at creating decent images with text. But it is nothing outstanding like - Canva or Adobe Spark Post. Pablo is still evoluting and needs lots and lots of improvements and features that have to be added to make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being a Social Media Marketer, I needed a tool that could give decent images with the correct resolutions for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest. Pablo helps one to just select your Quote or Matter Clipping and instantly format on a background of your choice and immediately use it or add it to your Buffer schedule. The text on the image automatically gets added to our tweet or fb post which can later be edited if we like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pablo?

How easy it is. I mean, you just upload a shot, choose the style of your text, write what you want... and you are done. No weird things, no more options, no more time than the one needed to do something easy... A simple tool to get easy images with text.

Also, being able to share directly to social channels from the app is a great point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

Resolution, it could improve and reach the original resolution given by the shot. Right now you get a compressed and low-res image that looks cool on social media tools like Facebook or Twitter, but too small to print or you use on some websites with great retina resolution (it's unfair saying this because Pablo was made by Buffer focusing on social media images, so the low-res can be taken as an "optimized" version for sharing) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pablo:

If you need a simple, easy and fast app to create images with customized text, Pablo is the way to go. You get what you need to create images for daily use on social media channels, it could get new features, but looks like they update the tool slow... so check it, if fits your needs, well done, if not, maybe you will need to check other app to get what you are looking for as probably won't get an update with new features for several months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting images customized easily and fast with few lines, which makes a great impact on social media channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pablo?

Pablo is really easy to handle and it's fun to work with this tool! The created images can be easily shared over social networks. The special thing about Pablo is that you can use images from Unsplash or Pixabay. Of course, you can also upload your own images and edit them very easily. A truly recommendable tool from Buffer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pablo?

There is a small drawback: Unfortunately, a text can only be inserted once. Here, I would wish for multiple options to insert several text passages. Perhaps one could even consider including images from kaboompics.com. I miss this provider with Pablo. Because there is also a great selection of photos that could be included. Who knows what the future holds with Pablo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pablo:

Absolutely recommendable. The tool Pablo simplifies image creation for social media posts. I am very impressed, and that is not often the case! Even for users who are not skilled, this tool is easy to use. Being able to create images quickly without registration, Pablo is excellently suited for that! It is very easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Image editing for social networks, postings for social networks, quick implementation of ideas, works without registration and is very easy to understand. A user does not need complex software to work with the tool. Design knowledge is also not necessarily required to work with Pablo. Therefore, the perfect tool to quickly and easily enhance your images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
