Adobe Lightroom, however, there are so many to chose from and they are all very powerful. It is just a matter of choosing which one to learn as each software has different workflows.

To edit images, I always use MS Paint (don’t judge 🙃), as it’s so simply designed and fast to work with.

* * *

To create icons/backgrounds I use Adobe XD, (I know it’s for UI/UX, but one can design images quite easily.) It has many options, but still I grab a raw icon from [flaticon.com/google](http://flaticon.com/google) images/etc., and customize it in XD. 💙

Nope, I got the Adobe XD for free (official software from adobe’s website, not pirated). Now it has been converted to a free trial basis, but when I installed it (2-3 yrs ago), I got it for free.

And hey, if you want to ask people for any **free** softwares they use for images, you should edit your first post and add **Which FREE software you use to create/edit images?**.

Please try the links before posting. Canva does have a paying tier but you have a lot of features for free too.

I’m sorry, I’m pretty confused. You seemed to think that Canva was entirely paid, and I said no, there is a free tier too. Then you told me to look at an unnamed website for more “info”, so I asked info on what. I don’t remember mentioning any buttons.

Here’s what:  
First @ronnie said anffinity, it was mac and he/she said there’s a windows i got free but when the time I get the app download was on halloween, but I need it URGENTLY, so when @namitnagar said about canva, there was a pying pop-up, but when you said about there is a free one too I checked it out so that so that solved my question.
