One Billion (Pictures) Served!
Ding ding ding! Big news here at Picnik World Headquarters! Today our crack team of server specialists cracked open the champagne in their Top Secret Server Lair high above downtown Seattle when the Official Picnik Tally Counter ticked over to one billion photo edits!
To put this into perspective:
One billion seconds: nearly 32 years
One billion minutes ago: Trajan was Emperor of Rome
One billion days ago: Lucy was still alive and well
One billion edits ago: it was October 2007!

To celebrate this HUGE number, Picnik Premium is free for everyone today! So enjoy those Effects, admire all that’s Advanced and go nuts with Seasonal from 9 a.m. today until 9 a.m. tomorrow, February 4th, Seattle time (PST)!
Time’s up! Thank’s so much everyone for helping to make this possible, and many happy Picniking returns!

February 3rd, 2010 at 12:11 pm
How do I get premium free? What do I click?
February 3rd, 2010 at 12:12 pm
WOOT!
I’ll be telling everybody about this :)
February 3rd, 2010 at 12:13 pm
Way to go Picnik, you guys are the best… now go take on McDonald’s tally in 2010!!
February 3rd, 2010 at 12:17 pm
hello ?? look above little help please!!
February 3rd, 2010 at 1:39 pm
@jordimili — the Picnik Premium is free TOMOROW, Feb 4th. Not today, im pretty sure. i can’t tell the difference though because i have premium myself. hope this helps!
PS: picnik, congrats on that! love you site by the way!
February 3rd, 2010 at 1:47 pm
@jordimili – sorry i was wrong, you have to have a picnik account (it’s free) and be signed in. then you have premium for the next 24 hours!
February 3rd, 2010 at 2:48 pm
OOHH THAT’S SO COOL IAM GOING TO GET MAD EDITING!! AAAH (:
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:43 pm
YAY I AM THE BILLIONTH!
February 3rd, 2010 at 4:46 pm
OMG! I love some of the premium effects and stickers but well i got use to the non premium ones and well no offense and to my opinion the premium ones arn’t that special! I just like to edit my photos and make them pretty (:
February 3rd, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Well what about us who already pay for premium :( Bummer.. But congrats..
February 3rd, 2010 at 5:32 pm
I have a year’s subscription…. CANNOT imagine a YEAR w/o Picnik!
February 3rd, 2010 at 6:10 pm
I can’t get the premium uploader. I can only upload 5 at a time. Is it possible to upload 100 at a time during these 24 hours? Thank you.
February 3rd, 2010 at 6:50 pm
Congratulations to the team at Picnik – it’s a fantastic site. You guys are awesome. This site has been an inspiration to me creatively and I could not imagine being without the Premium membership. Thanks for all the hard work and excellent management. Blow up your balloons, bake a cake, have a glass of champers and enjoy the party!!
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:54 pm
i think you should have it for 2 days bcause their are people who go to school and didnt know about this till now so. its kinda unfair for those ppl.. and besides i barely got to take advantage of this applications awesomness, i have to go to school toomorrow, and i thought it would be fun to take a whole bunch of pics then just edit them over and over, but i can’t do that unless i have the premium feature, and my mom won’t let me get it cause she thinks it costs too much , but then again its a pretty awsome feature. so would it be possible if you guys in ur big secret lair high above seattle please make this bonus kinda thing ma bobber longer ?? Thanks for your time – Hannah

well thank you for the free premiums!! hope to use it again. =D
February 6th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
I loved the free premium so much! You should do it a lot more often!
February 6th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I absolutely loved having free premium! You should have it free 2 days a month! I didn’t find out until it was almost over. Because I had to go to school! :(. Please think about this suggestion! Anyway. Thanks!
February 7th, 2010 at 9:34 am
I wish I could go through a time warp and edit a pic of me and my buddy winning the science fair, to really bring out that gold medal… :) :/ :(
I also agree %100 with Megan:

Why don’t you guys pay for the premium, I mean, it’s worth it, and for a year you only pay what? 30 bucks or so, you spend that on a tee or whatever, I love Picnik and with the premium you have sunless tanner, you can change your eye color easier and everything, you can even pay with a debit card
Porque no pagan por el premium, la verdad, lo vale, y por un año pagas 30 dolares mas o menos, no es tanto, eso lo gastas en una playera, amo Picnik y en le premium tienes bronceador sin sol y puedes cambiar el color de lo ojos facilmente, tmb aceptan tarjetas de debito.
:) LUV PICNIK!
February 7th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
YAY! we love picnik. :) you totally rock. :) ever considered making an app for the iTunes app store?

thanks…looking forward to new features
