Photo Editing Software

As a blogger, you’ll need to use photo editing software to create images for your blog. Here are a few I recommend:

• Canva – Like PicMonkey, Canva is an online photo editor that allows you to create designs for web and print. This is another program that’s great for creating blog post images and social media graphics.
• Adobe Creative Cloud Subscription – Photoshop is my preferred tool for creating and editing graphics. I recommend Photoshop for bloggers who need more than what the online photo editors have to offer.
