Picnik.com is a online photo editor (better than paint and simpler than Photoshop). If Google is acquiring its technology this only means it will become a new service of Google Docs, the online web applications to manage our documents in the cloud.
With Picnik, you can crop, do touch-ups and add cool effects to your photos, all without leaving your web browser.
Good decision Google, Picnik is one of the best online photo editors.
We’re not announcing any significant changes to Picnik today, though we’ll be working hard on integration and new features. As well, we’d like to continue supporting all existing Picnik partners so that users will continue to be able to add their photos from other photo sharing sites, make edits in the cloud and then save and share to all relevant networks.
