Picnik has been included on TIME Magazine’s 2008 picks for the best the Web has to offer: 50 Best Websites 2008! Listed under “Handy Tools”, staff writer Anita Hamilton praises our “elegant simplicity,” and writes:

Picnik
Anyone can snap a photo. The hard part is editing a crappy digital image and turning it into art. Until now, that’s been too complicated for mere mortals. Good thing you don’t need any special skills to use the free photo-editing tools at Picnik.

We’re also mentioned on her podcast, where she says we’re “the best,” to “just go there, you’ll like it,” and mentions our partnership with Flickr. And speaking of our Flickr friends, Anita has included them on TIME’s list of Sites We Can’t Live Without:

Flickr
Digital photo–sharing sites have come and gone, but Flickr has remained. It offers some of the smartest tools for managing your ever expanding picture collection — from Photostream, which lets you scan your pics quickly, to a newly added video tool for pro users (who pay $25 per year). We also dig Flickr’s photo-editing capabilities provided by Picnik.

We want to thank TIME for recognizing us this way, and we want to thank our users for being such great photo-editing rockstars with us. Because you’re all so awesome, we hope you go to our review page and rate us!
