Picnik is an online photo editing service with many image manipulation features similar to the popular image editing software from Adobe, Photoshop. Currently it can import photos natively from Facebook, Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, Yahoo Image search and also offers options to upload from a computer or to upload from a website.

Many of Picnik's basic photo editing tools are free to use. Picnik Premium includes additional photo editing features and is offered for an 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 FreeWebs

[edit] Browser plug-ins and tools

Picnik has released a selection of tools to be able to place pictures onto picnik easily, on May 1, 2007 Bitnik released a Browser plug-in for Firefox and Internet Explorer however the Internet Explorer plug-in can only select a picture and then load it directly into Picnik unlike the Firefox plug-in which can take whole screenshots of the webpages and load them into Picnik.
