PicMonkey Editor Overview

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

  • Top toolbar

  • Left panel

  • Bottom toolbar

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

Top toolbar

The top toolbar allows you to start, name, save/move, and share a project; while connecting you to Help & Support and to the Resource Center.

Left panel

Click any button in the dark grey left panel of the editor and its corresponding controls appear in a second panel to the right (with rare exceptions).

Bottom Toolbar

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.
