History
PicMonkey was started by Justin Huff and Brian Terry, two engineers who worked on Picnik , an online photo editor that Google bought in March 2010. Picnik received heavy traffic and was used by bloggers, photo enthusiasts, and photography professionals. Huff and Terry left Picnik in 2011.

In January 2012, Google announced it was shutting down Picnik. Google suggested PicMonkey as a viable alternative to Picnik in an email to its users dated March 21, 2012. PicMonkey has been praised for its clean interface and accelerated processing speed.
