1. Don’t Sleep on the Picsart AI Photo Editor

So first up, the Picsart AI photo editor. People hear “AI tools” and roll their eyes, but like—this one actually works. You can edit photos in just a few taps, like actually just a few taps.

Want to remove unwanted objects? Done. Wanna instantly transform images into that next gen AI art aesthetic? Boom.

The background remover tool is stupid easy too. Like you literally click once and it wipes the background. Not gonna lie, sometimes it glitches (yeah there are a few bugs) but for the most part it’s slick.

👉 Pro tip: Don’t overuse the filters. The AI sometimes makes your face look like melted wax if you push it too far.

2. Play with Photo Grid Collage and Freestyle Collage

Everyone loves a photo grid collage. Basic but classic. Picsart makes it brainless—pick your favorite pictures, slap ‘em into a grid, done. But the freestyle collage? That’s where the chaos begins.

I tried layering memes, vacation selfies, and like random dog pics and honestly the results were… questionable, but in a fun way. It’s perfect if you’re trying to stand out in your Instagram game.

Also, side note: collage magic is real. You’ll sit down to make one for a “quick post” and suddenly you’re building a whole inspiring mood board. Happens every time.

3. Make Customized AI Avatar Portraits (Yes, for Fun or Work)

This is a weird one. Picsart lets you make customized AI avatar portraits, and while yeah it’s a bit overdone (everybody has that anime avatar phase now), you can actually use it for professional editors stuff too. Like, create pro quality product shots or even those slick stunning brand logos if you’re lazy.

Not saying it replaces professional editors totally—but hey, if you’re broke or in a rush, it’s a lifesaver.

4. Use the AI Image Generator (Careful, It Gets Addictive)

So the AI image generator inside Picsart is like… too powerful? You type some random prompt like “banana wearing Gucci slides” and it spits out legit art. Are we living in the future? Yeah, kinda.

I once tried it for special business promos—like creating pro quality business designs—and the results looked way more polished than what I expected from a “free app.” Of course, you gotta edit it after with their intuitive graphic design tools, but still.

Pro tip: Don’t trust it blindly. Sometimes you’ll ask for a dog, and it’ll give you a wolf with 6 legs. Creepy.

5. Master the Video Editor Stuff Too

Picsart isn’t just about photos. The video editor is low-key great. You can edit clips, add music, mess with video effects, and even do video collage layouts. Perfect for TikTok-y stuff or if you’re just trying to spice up a boring social media story maker template.

The retouch video effects blew my mind. Like you can smooth out skin in a video. I mean… not always perfect but hey, we’re all trying to catfish a little, right?

6. The Picsart Sticker Maker Library = Endless Chaos

Oh my god, this is underrated. The Picsart sticker maker library is massive. You can search basically anything, or just make your own own custom stickers. Want a sticker of your face making a weird expression? Done. Want random sparkles? Done.

This is where I waste hours because once you start pasting stickers on everything—it’s like tattoos. You just keep adding more.

7. Background Remover = The Lazy Person’s Best Friend

Look, if you’ve ever tried to manually erase a background, you know the pain. Picsart’s background remover tool is basically cheating. And with smart background features, you can replace it with cool stuff. Like put yourself in Paris when you’re really in your messy bedroom.

Not saying you should lie on your socials but… I mean. Everyone does it.

8. Mess with Fonts and Text

The Picsart text editor has so many classic and trending fonts it’s overwhelming. You can make own unique text styles, create artsy posters, or just slap Comic Sans ironically on everything (don’t do that, please).

And yes, you can use it to showcase special business promos if you’re doing brand stuff. Or you can just write dumb captions on your memes. Both valid.

9. Templates and Fresh Aesthetic Styles

Okay so the customizable graphic design templates are like cheat codes. Need a quick flyer? Done. Need pro quality product shots mockups? Done. It helps if you’re not a designer but still wanna look like one.

They’re always pushing fresh aesthetic styles too, so it doesn’t look outdated. I used one for a pitch deck once and my boss thought I hired a designer. (Didn’t. Just Picsart, lol).

10. Don’t Forget It’s Supposed to Be Fun

This sounds dumb but hear me out—half of Picsart’s magic is just messing around. It’s not only for graphic design enthusiasts or people chasing stunning photo effects. Sometimes you’re just here to doodle, do a fun face swap, or play with more AI tools.

Yeah, you can create inspiring mood boards, create stunning brand logos, and instantly transform images, but don’t take it too seriously. The fun level is where the app shines.
