A Tour of the PicMonkey Editor

The areas where you’ll find most of your editing and design controls in the PicMonkey Editor are:

  • Top toolbar

  • Side tabs

  • Bottom toolbar

Let's learn about each area and what it does:

Top Toolbar

The top toolbar (new as of June 2020) allows you to start, save/move, and share a project; while connecting you to Help & Support and to the Resource Center.

Side Tabs & Editing Panel

The side tabs on the left rail of the Editor launch their corresponding features in the adjacent Editing panel.

The bottom toolbar is there to help you fine-tune the effects and features you have applied, and to control the look and performance of your canvas.
