PicsArt is an image and collage editing application that allows its users to edit or create pictures and then share them in a social networking community. PicsArt users can create or edit interesting pictures based on their preferred theme. This study was aimed to utilize the PicsArt application to disseminate the Standard Dictionary of Indonesian (KBBI) and to introduce appropriate terminologies to the community in social networks. To date, many people do not know the appropriate terminologies or name of objects, for example the word kapak with kampak. Using PicsArt application, an image was displayed and underneath, the word kapak and kampak were written accompanied by green and red checklists. The green checklist indicated the correct terminology and the red checklist symbolized the incorrect one. After that, an explanation of the definition of the term was given. The method used in this study was qualitative descriptive. The results of this study indicated that the PicsArt application facilitated community members to capture the message conveyed through the images. The modified images made community members understand the meaning relevant to KBBI and increasingly recognize the correct terminologies.
