Lightweight Lightroom alternative but full-featured and cross-platfrom

I regard it as the true alternative to Adobe Lightroom. In fact, it has more filters and options.

Pros

It is available on all platforms. You can use it on desktop, mobile, web. In fact, I like the SaaS version.

Cons

Options are so overwhelming nowadays. It needs to be redesigned.

Polarr tremendously enhances my photos with its plethora of dynamic effects, filters, & adjustment options to make end results look more prominent. Whether I'm using the software on my computer or mobile, Polarr fails to disappoint with its fantastic user experience to fulfil my productivity & entertainment demands.

Pros

The feature-rich, yet simplified user interface allows me to perform a wide variety of modifications to my photos to deliver stunning results. This is most apparent when dealing with photos captured & received at our construction site where images in their current state are unsuitable to be attached in our monthly report for submission. Thus, I highly rely on Polarr to implement necessary adjustments in colour, brightness & contrast, date & time stamps as well as resizing in order to produce usable pictures. Furthermore, Polarr seems best suited for creating eye-catching presentation intros & social media posts with its wide selection of high-quality filters & overlay effects. Another appreciable attribute of the software is its offline usability which comes in quite handy when there's limited network access or coverage.

Cons

I have absolutely zero complaints with the Polarr. The application works flawlessly & conveniently across all platforms.

A great free photo editing app for mobile devices

I have used it many times, and it has always performed very well.

Pros

It is easy to use, and has various filters and overlays. I like that you can make the photos look weathered, or overlay it with rain or snow. You can even use one free pro export a day, using all the pro features. All in all, it is a fine app for beginners for editing photos.

Cons

It would be great if they would update the app with more features and overlays.

There are many photo editing tools on the market and Photoshop is one the oldest and best that you can do everything with it, but Photoshop needs training and you must be trained to use it, and many of its features may not work for you, but Polarr is simple, practical and convenient. You can easily edit your photos with it.

Pros

The menus and buttons are simple, with everything I need to edit photos, filters, resize, effects, retouch, add text, Ai Gradient, Awesome Adjustment, Raw editor, and many more useful common features. The design of its user dashboard is so stylish and simple and designed with few buttons that anyone with the least computer knowledge can start working with it. It has professional filters and the Retouches feature works very well for me and it works on all devices online and offline via mobile or desktop with any resolution and any os. Also, the font import tool for editing photos with my desired Font is great.

Cons

Several sample prebuilt templates such as banners, ready-made text-photos, ready-made sample sizes, and materials could make the job easier so that one could prepare projects for social networks more easily.

Reasons for Choosing Polarr

Looking for an easy and handy web-based Photo Editor, I believe when a photo tool that does not work easily on all devices is not my primary choice.

Reasons for Switching to Polarr

We choose Polarr because It has always been available everywhere, with all the tools and all the browsers and desktops and laptops in every screen size and resolution, and it is very reasonably priced and the commercial version is a very fair price.

Pros

With a very extensive selection of filters, overlays and tools for basic image editing and retouch, Polarr is very powerful when it comes to editing images for social media.

Cons

Its interface is fairly different from most tools out there, so it takes some time to get familiarized with it.

Polarr, a humble, but nice photo editing software

It's great for a lot, but in other areas it lacks. If you're looking to spice up your photos, whether it's a thumbnail for a video, product you're wanting to sell, or just an image you want to adjust to look nicer, Polarr is a pretty good photo editing software that I think really shines in masks. Whether depth of field, color adjustment, or sharpening something, Polarr has a lot to offer. If you're looking for a deeper editing software such as Adobe's Photoshop, then I'd say this isn't for you. Also, if you don't have the money to pay for it, there is a free version that allows one export of an image a day, so it's nice if you want a trail run or you simply don't have the money.

Pros

I love masking. It's pretty easy and possibly overlooked, but when you need to highlight certain areas, add interesting vignettes, or get depth of field in spots you couldn't get in the original image, masks really come in handy.

Cons

Undoing something is kind of a pain if I recall. I don't remember the details but I do remember it bugging me. Also adding images onto each other was an issue if I can remember, so after I'm done with the main adjustments I'll move it to Krita for further edits.

I love this app mainly because it’s fun and is so intuitive. You can look for some filters at pinteres and just screenshoot the image , and there you go... you hace new filter at you library. And the comparison mode its just perfect! you can check the before and after any time.

Cons

The only downside is that currently the subscription is a little expensive compared to his copetitionIt Has, so much tools I get overwhelmed

My experience has been positive - whenever I need a quick edit, Polarr is usually first in line.

Pros

There's a reason why Polarr is known for its filters - it provides a huge selection of ready to use and high quality filters that you can apply with a single click. It also provides good control for image adjustments (light, color, etc).

Cons

If you need something a bit more advanced other than filters and photo retouching, then Polarr isn't the right tool for the job.

Simple to use, but deceptively powerful photo editor!!

Sleek and sophisticated, intuitive photo fine-tuner, A+!!

Sleek and sophisticated, intuitive photo fine-tuner, A+!!

Pros

In just a few button clicks, mundane photos become sharp and alluring. I use Polarr daily to fine-tune and touch-up pictures for organic social media posting. It is quick and easy to use, but powerful. Social media posts containing photos touched up in Polarr get me a greater amount of engagement on average than photos that have not been edited!!

Cons

Polarr is not for any sort of in-depth photo manipulation. It's best to use Polarr to fine tune and accent photos rather than heavy duty editing. This is NOT a bad thing because Polarr is perfect for what it does.

Editing tool for your images

Reviewed on 28/02/2021

Pros

I have been using this tool and figured out that it has variety of functions and tools in it. It allows you to create your own filter. One of the interesting fact is that you can work on it offline too.

Cons

It is slightly different form other editing apps so it took me a while to get use to it. It has variety of options but I would like to see some pre made filters, bann
