PicMonkey is an online 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.〔("From Picnik to PicMonkey: How these entrepreneurs rebuilt one of Seattle's hottest startups" ) ''GeekWire'' Seattle, 20 February 2014.〕 PicMonkey uses a freemium business model, offering ad-supported free features as well as a set of premium features "Royale" available for a subscription fee, on an annual or monthly basis.
