## Review summary

PhotoLayers is repeatedly praised for its ease of use and effective editing tools, especially for swapping backgrounds and removing objects with transparent backgrounds. Users value that it’s free to start and has remained reliable with ongoing updates. However, a common drawback across reviews is its intrusive advertising, which can interrupt work and even cause freezing or require restarts. Overall, it’s a solid, quick-edit PNG tool for casual projects, favored by long-time users despite the ad model.

### Pros

- Powerful editing features for background swaps, object removal, and adding elements with strong transparency tools
- Free to use with a reasonable ad model; great for quick PNGs
- Reliable over years with ongoing updates and new features

### Cons

- Intrusive and frequent ads that disrupt workflow (ads appear after many actions, during loading, and can require restarting the app)
- Ad-related performance issues, including freezing when ads load and difficulty exiting ads
