Picnik is an online photo editing service. It is headquartered in Downtown Seattle, Washington, United States.[2] Currently it can import photos natively from Facebook, Myspace, Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, Yahoo Image search, Google Plus and also offers options to upload from a computer or to upload from a website.
In January of 2012, Picnik announced that it will be closing April 2012 and would be moving their tools to Google+. They are offering a full refund to all Premium members and providing free Premium service to everyone between January and April. Some people are petitioning to stop the shut down[3].
Many of Picnik's basic photo editing tools are free to use. Picnik Premium includes additional photo editing features and is offered for a monthly, 6-month, or annual subscription cost.
Picnik has a partnership with Flickr that includes a less feature-rich version of Picnik built into Flickr as a default photo editor. They have also signed up to do photo editing with free website creator Webs. Picnik was acquired by Google on March 1, 2010.[4][5]
