editPicMonkey has been redeveloped and its old version can no longer be accessed due to Adobe Flash sunsetting.[1]
On the PicMonkey website and mobile app, the key features are: Photo editor, Design tools, Touch up, Facebook design, Instagram design, Youtube design, Templates, Graphics, and Branding. These added features to photos and graphic designs can easily be downloaded and shared/exported out to others.[2]

PicMonkey was founded by former Picnik employees Brian Terry, Justin Huff, Charlie Whiton, and Lisa Conquergood, with financial support from former Picnik CEO Jonathan Sposato.[3] Picnik was a popular online photo editor that had been acquired by Google in 2010, but was shut down in January 2012.[4] Terry, Huff, Sposato and others saw this as an opportunity to create a new company, PicMonkey, which was founded in April 2012[3] with the stated aim of creating a “fast and lightweight” photo editing experience.[5]

On September 7, 2021, PicMonkey was acquired by Shutterstock in a $110M cash deal.[6] This has resulted in the stock photo options, which was originally provided by PicMonkey, now being shifted and provided by Shuttershock.[7]
