A few months back we launched a Product Ideas page to gather your ideas and insights for Picnik. We received hundreds of ideas and thousands of votes. We were encouraged, humbled and amazed by the ideas and the enthusiasm we saw. We found so many ideas we are already working on which told us we were on the right track; has a few “why didn’t we think of that!” moments; and saw so many incredibly creative ideas.

A few of the suggestions we saw we even have plans to release before the end of year. Some are big enough that they’ll take a bit longer; in classic Picnik style we want to make sure we can provide you features that are not just technically feasible but easy and enjoyable to use.

Whether your idea launches on Picnik or not we loved hearing from you and thank you for sharing your thoughts. Because we loved it so much, we thought we would do it again by tapping into Picnikers’ creativity for ideas around the holiday season. What types of things would you like to see to help celebrate your favorite festive holiday? Submit your ideas or vote on what others have to say. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Hi! I’m Lisa and I’m the newest member of the Picnik team. Part of being new is learning, learning, oh and then some more learning. So I would like your help with my learning curve!

I know what I would love to see us do next but I want to know what you all think. I want to better understand how and why you visit Picnik. What you love and what you would love for us to do. So I (together with some of the magic-makers here at Picnik) have pulled together a quick survey! Everything is confidential but your answers will help guide what we should work on next.

So thanks ahead of time for helping make Picnik even better (and for helping me learn)!

Take the Picnik Survey! And Happy Picnicking!

Monday, March 16 Update: After a week of incredibly overwhelming response, we’re closing the survey and letting ourselves catch up with all your responses and tens of thousands of comments! We’ve already gone through half of them, and we’re going to to read every single one of them! Thank you all again for being so generous with your time, and in such numbers. And now that we know what you all think, we can’t wait to decide what we’re going to do next!

Another dose of the warm fuzzies via Ali and Sonia, our Picnik Community Therapists, from some of our users. This installment is a mega-super-deluxe version, just in time for the long holiday weekend. We love hearing from you guys, so if you have anything to add, make sure to hit the Feedback button at the top of the Picnik window!

I love picnik.com
Picnik.com is a wonderful website in which normal people,without bein members, can come and edit there pictures or as i like to say beautify.
Picnik.com is a wonder place and better than Fotoflexer and LunaPic combined.
Thank u picnik for making my life easier.

I’ve been using your free version for the last few weeks, editing a whack-load of vintage photos for Geni.com. This morning, I logged on to find that I can now upload 5 photos at a time!!! Awesome and thank you!! Even better, your software is now remembering which folder to take from and which folder to put the finished photos back into on my computer. What a time saver. Smooch the designer who came up with this for me, please. :-) It’s working absolutely perfect. :-)

Collage Feature
Thank You. My partner and I have been wishing and hoping for the last few months that you would magically add a diptych/quad/triptych etc feature. And you did it. You are now, officially the bomb-diggidy of all post production programs. We are entirely thrilled with your presence and look forward to more premium features.
You’ve have gained members for life here in Petaluma, CA.
Thanks again Picnik, you seriously rock….

Bonjour, j’avais regardé picnik il y a déja plusieurs mois de cela, et tout d’un coup, Wow, une version francaise ET des fonctionalités encore plus riches !!! J’adore !! En plus c’est toujours aussi simple et intuitif d’utilisation, vraiment parfait ! :-) -Sylvie

Me and my older sister share an account. She is 19 years old and i am 12 years old. Picnik is so easy to use! It is so easy to use, that maybe a 6 year old could use it! Best of all, you don’t have to download anything! Thanks for making Picnik! -bluepolkadot09

Habe Eure Seite heute entdeckt und möchte Euch gaaaaaanz viel Lob aussprechen. Nach sowas hab ich schon lange gesucht. Die Funktionen sind vielfältig und leicht verständlich und auch ohne Anmeldung nutzbar! SUPER! Das Einzige, was mir noch einfallen würde, wenn man ein breiteres Angebot bei den einfügbaren Figuren besäße. Ansonsten – gute Seite! LG aus Dresden -Julia

Kudo’s for your Awesome Site I’m absolutely astonished by what you’ve put together here. What an incredible useful and comprehensive site. It works beautifully. Brilliant concept. Brilliant execution. -chiroted

Votre site est SUPER !! C’est pratique pour retoucher toute sorte d’image et une bonne qualité ! Je vous remercie :) -Hindouille

We got a great email today from the creators of EquiPortal (“Your Window On The Equine World“).  They were looking for a way to make it easier for their members to upload their photos, and found Picnik to be the perfect solution:

I have recently taken my first Picnik / Amazon S3 project live and just wanted to provide some feedback. I run a small company with limited resources so finding a feature rich product that was easy to integrate was a great find. I have created a blog about my integration exercise if you are interested: http://blog.contrastwebsolutions.co.uk/2008/08/using-picnik-and-amazon-s3-for-photo.html

If you would like a testimonial from the perspective of a small company feel free to take any text from my blog such as: “Picnik is a cool product, but it’s the way that it can be easily integrated in to our own websites that makes it great.”

Thanks for the service.

Team Picnik get a lot of feedback, but it’s not always just feature requests. A lot of it just makes us smile. When these feedbacks come in, Kristi and Ali, our Picnik Community Therapists, like to spread these warm-fuzzies by sharing with the whole team, and a few of those we thought were featuring even further…
