'''PicMonkey''' is an online [[Image editing|photo editing]] service headquartered in [[Seattle, Washington]], which was founded in April 2012 by two former [[Picnik]] engineers, Brian Terry and Justin Huff. Upon learning that [[Google]] planned to shut down Picnik in 2012, Terry and Huff left Google to create PicMonkey as a "more efficient and feature-rich replacement." PicMonkey was founded with additional backing from former Picnikers Jonathan Sposato, Lisa Conquergood and Charlie Whiton.<ref>[http://www.geekwire.com/2014/picmonkey/ "From Picnik to PicMonkey: How these entrepreneurs rebuilt one of Seattle's hottest startups"] ''[[GeekWire]]'' Seattle, 20 February 2014.</ref>

PicMonkey uses a [[freemium]] business model, offering ad-supported free features as well as a set of premium features "Royale" available for a subscritpion fee, on an annual or monthly basis. PicMonkey has basic features similar to Picnik's (Crop, Rotate, Textures, Overlays, and one-click effects) and advanced features like [[Curve (tonality)|Curves]], Touch Up, Design, and Collage.

PicMonkey’s service is cloud-based, allowing users to upload photos from their computer and services like [[Facebook]], [[Flickr]], and [[Dropbox (service)|Dropbox]]. Individuals can then share to Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox, [[Twitter]], [[Pinterest]], [[Tumblr]] and [[We Heart It]].

PicMonkey has an open [[API]] for developers to integrate them directly into a website. Some current API partners include. Facebook,<ref>[https://apps.facebook.com/picmonkey "PicMonkey Facebook App"]</ref> Muzy.com,<ref>[http://muzy.com/app/picmonkey PicMonkey Muzy App]</ref> and SmugMug.<ref>[http://news.smugmug.com/2012/04/20/eye-gasmic-photo-editing-with-picmonkey/ "Eye-Gasmic Photo Editing with PicMonkey"] 20 April 2012</ref> PicMonkey’s affiliate partner is ShareaSale.

PicMonkey was recognized as a Top 100 Website in 2013 by [[PC Magazine]],<ref>[http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2428809,00.asp "The Top 100 Websites of 2013"] ''[[PC Magazine]]'' 2 January 2014.</ref> listed as hosting one of the Best April Fools’ Pranks of 2014 by [[TIME Magazine]],<ref>[http://time.com/43940/the-best-april-fools-pranks-of-2014/ "The Best April Fools' Pranks of 2014"] ''[[TIME Magazine]]'' 1 April 2014.</ref> and recognized as one of the most affordable online services for startups.<ref>[http://www.startupsmart.com.au/technology/cheap-online-services-for-startups/2014040112012.html "Affordable online services for startups"] 1 April 2014.</ref>
