Picnik.com review

I am picnik.com premium user. Picnik.com is an online photo editor.
  • The site, which is powered by Flash, smoothly performs many of the tasks that most users want from a photo editor. Furthermore, these tasks are logically organized.
  • When you first visit Picnik, you are faced with five large tabs: Home, Library,Edit, Create, Save & Share.

  • The first, allows you to add photos from all sorts of places. You can upload images from your computer, take them from flickr, or take them from any other website, such as Photodoto. You can even take them from a WebCam photo.

  • Once pictures are uploaded, you can edit them in any number of ways. No, you cannot do all the fancy tweaks that a high-end program like Photoshop does, but you can do most common tasks, including Auto-Fix, rotate, crop, resize, change the exposure, fiddle with the color, sharpen, eliminate red-eye, and undo.
  • Click each tool to see a menu of choices. For example, if you click Colors, you can change the warmth, the saturation, or the white balance.

Edit tab

Create tab. Normally I used Effect sub-tab that consist a lot editing style.

  • Choose the Create tab.The site already offered so much functionality and a lot of photo editing style. Enjoy and fun to apply.
  • When you have finished playing–oops, editing–you have numerous options. You can save images on your own computer, send them directly to flickr, or to several other websites.
  • All in all, I was impressed. I found Picnik to be useful, fun, and easy to use. Picnik is organized so thoughtfully and logically that I was up and running within minutes. Try it and see for yourself.


Below are some reviews about picnik.com from other's user.

  1. "these online editors don’t have the fancy stuff like Photoshop does… But if you’re in a fix, away from your own computer, traveling, etc. these places can be a lifesaver if you need to do some quick cropping, adjusting, and resizing" ~Brian Auer.
  2. "I have just started using Picnik and have found it to be very useful indeed. Yes I am a Photoshop user but Picnik definitely does have its place. In particular the things I like about Picnik include
  • It’s intuitive interface.
  • The sense of fun it conveys.
  • Its tight integration with Flickr.
  • Speed – it’s really fast.
  • The simple but comprehensive output options.
  • It’s FREE!
I would recommend that anyone try it – it’s the type of program that you can make an assessment in 5 minutes." ~Doug Barr
