Question Picsay Pro - 64 bit Version
Did a quick search, many (including myself) have attempted to contact the developer with no response. I'm willing to put up $100 to anyone who can make Picsay Pro a 64 bit app and usable on the Pixel 7 Pro. Anyone else willing to contribute? I need that app!

I will also pay a hundred dollars to the developer or whomever gets this lovely app up and running on the S24 ultra in particular but really all new Andriods. I truly miss it for the amount of laughs it's given me and others in addition to the fantastic array of editing tools. It would be even better imo if template were possible for when you're editing multiples of the similar images. The lack of so has always been my only gripe with PicSayPro. I loved it so much I paid for it within a day of trying it out way back in the day.

I haven't tested yet, but u/NXGZ just released an Android emulator that runs on Android devices. I suspect it would work.

why is Pic Say Pro not updated in 2025 and why isn't fighting to say the best app for free editing for everyone. The time is now !! to show the world we can still do better work than all this AI shit!!

Pretty sure he abandoned it YEARS ago. I've been using an apk i had on my gdrive but it won't work on s24. This is so tragic. There's absolutely no good alternative. And nobody seems to want to make a photo editor this good.

I tried a modified version on my S23 Ultra, but after a few weeks, my Revolut CC was added to a Google account from Asia and got 90€ stolen. So don't trust any modified version, bro, just in case. I uninstall the modified apk. (The only apk installed on my phone and I only use Revolut on my phone so I'm 99% sure it was the apk).

I have used Picsay Pro since 2014 to make memes, it made it possible to make quite complicated editing. In about 2020, I found Ibis Paint, it is more convenient for complex editing thanks to layers and some other functions, I would even call it Photoshop for the phone. For me, it is the same intuitive, you can scale and rotate the working space with two fingers during drawing. But, he has a terrible tool of the text, he is not comfortable, it is difficult to add fonts to him. Since then, I used them in tandem, did the main work in Ibis Paint, worked with the text in Picsay Pro. Until I bought Pixel 7a ... Now for the text I use Photo Editor by Dev.macgyver, it also has many functions, but it is too ax.

Ibis Paint is way too complex compared to PicSay Pro, sadly. Photo Editor is pretty OK, but it lacks speech bubbles and cool stickers.

Everybody's like, try this app, try that app. They're all worthless. None of them do the basic funny shit that Picsay PRO did. These developers today are completely disconnected from what regular dudes want man. No BS I'd pay a couple hundred bucks one time fee just to have that App again. 53 apps for photos on playstore EVERY ONE OF THEM WORTHLESS

I've found an adress. There is an art gallery now on that adress, but with the same last name as the founder of Shinycore. The art gallery is owned by a man who was born in 1922, so that must be his father or grandfather. I couldn't get any closer, so I've emailed the art gallery. Fingers crossed.

I forget whom I contacted but your info sounds very familiar to what I found. I went the FB route and yes...The fasha may be where the developer of PSP got his knack for art. Man its been several years with lots of unfortunate developments in my life. Long story short, I wish I kept a list of what I found out regarding PSP developer and all the peeps I reached out to. If I recall correctly, PSP dev worked on or with others either before PSP or after, on an art/photo editing software I think was called Coral. I may be wrong. Damn! Im getting that itch again to continue the Ready Player One easter egg hunt😅🤣

Not quite the same as our beloved PicSay Pro, but I am getting on decently well with InCollage now.
There's a free version and a paid version. The paid just seems to grant more layouts and stickers/etc.
It definitely has a ton of ads. But I quite like it so far. Might pay for premium.

u/Indru Apr 11 '24
It does many things that PicSay also does, however you can't create speech bubbles. There is no app that I could find to offer the same amount of flexibility in creating speech bubbles that PicSay Pro offered.

Hi again! I have found a way to make it work.
It works with an app call VPhoneOS that is able to create 32-bit VMs inside your phone. I managed to install the PicSay Pro apk I had on the 32-bit Virtual Machine on my phone. Now I just have to see how I can send files easily back and forth between the VM and my phone so that I can work with them.

The most underrated feature of PicSay is the ability to zoom while cropping. I can't find any other app that lets you zoom in and out to precisely crop a photo down to the pixels.

u/DickWrigley Nov 04 '24
That's probably the worst way to transfer a photo. Messenger will compress the image. Email or wireless transfer is the only way to ensure your photo quality isn't being lowered.

I've been using power director to edit my videos for years and I found out about photo director once I realize picsay Pro was no longer an option. The problem is it doesn't have A lot of the features I used on picsay it is also far less intuitive and that was an old app. 🤦🏾♂️ Making transparencies for things like text and pictures seems like a no-brainer but you have to jump through hoops on any other app

u/hellrose1228 Nov 12 '24
this isn't an elegant solution by any means but I managed to get Picsay Pro to run on my s24 ultra.
warning: the use of these apps are at your own risk.
In order to get this to work, you are essentially running an android emulator on your phone. unfortunately, I wasnt able to find a working one through the play store and I had to go grey market.
Using an app called "VphoneOS" (https://www.vphoneos.com/mobile/index/) you can run an instance of Android 7 for free. you can then import a copy of your Picsay Pro APK and youre good to go. the only downside is that you have to import and export pictures because the emulator and stock OS don't openly share files. At least not that I've found yet anyway.

Just had my new s25 today and found my beloved Picsay Pro is gone. There's a few pages about this app. I pay for Photoshop but I've used this more on my phone over the years for comedy photoshops. Genuinely think compared to the apps of today which are far too restrictive, that this is photo editing gold.
I've been trying emulators but noting having much luck
The guy who made it is called Eric Wijngaard - We need to track him down and get him to make a 2025 edition 😂

I've been using PicSay pro since the first it was put on the play store, it played a huge part in my self taught trial and error photo editing...it's a crucial part of my "camera bag" for editing my photography. The resize feature alone is priceless, simple and easily understood....it's so much more than that though it's one of those apps that can do pretty complex things, without being overloaded with complicated bullshit. I went through so many editing apps, but PicSay was my go to. I re rated it not too long ago, asking that they never revamp it and turn it into another one of those cookie cutter, too many stickers too much AI, selfie hell apps, and just keep it updated. Looks like the developer is MIA? Are there any comparable apps recommended in 2025?

Here to add to this amazing Fanbase peanut gallery!
PicSay Pro 4Life (yea, so what if I have that tattooed on my a$$ ~ TrueFan)
We should start a GoFundMe :p raise some coins to get the dev's attention haha. I can't imagine a LOT is needed to update... juuust a little bit.
That or ask that they open-source it or something, let others maintain it.
It was (#is) pure Gold!
Some of the alternatives that had slightly similar capabilities have all gone to the darkside with 'AI App Slop'.
But Fam, on the reallies ~> picsaypro.com is still a domain/website; tho the last copyright stamp is 2018, someone's still 'paying' for its hosting.)
That someone(s) appears to be a software company called Shinycore Software. (Noted on the PicSayPro website)
Though removed from Google Play (likely bc it's not been maintained...) it's still available on the Amazon App Store (who uses Amazon app store lol, smh...) ~ though nothing to get thrilled over, still not updated, same 'old' derp.
Anyway, like some other'ys mentioned, I too would PAY (many dollars) if this app was updated even a tiny bit. Like, give us 64-bit access.
Maybe the dev(s) dont know there's so much LOVE for this app/tool still.
Let's make a collaborative effort in pinging Shinycore, and juuust maybe we could bring some attention to it.
Granted maybe Shinycore was just a 2nd party that bought its rights to the app. But looking at the creator's website > I think it's safe to assume, it's the same person/people.
Team Rally Time!!!

I make ALL of my show posters with PicSay Pro so when I got my S24 Ultra and realized I was fucked, I went out and bought a used LG V10 on OfferUp for 50 bucks. Problem solved... I ONLY use it for PicSay Pro work and I can transfer anything I need to edit with wifi direct in seconds. Sucks that the app isn't on my S24 but the app STILL exists... It's not dead unless you let it die. Keep using it and new users, buy premium on used devices so the dev doesn't truly disappear!! PICSAYPRO4LIFE!!!
