If you like to do basic photo editing online, chances are you use a service called Picnik.  If you’re using this free service to edit your photos, you may want to consider looking around for another photo editing service.  Picnik will be closing their virtual doors on April 19, 2012 in order to “focus on even awesomer things.”

If you have a lot of photos that you have stored on their service, don’t go into a panic.  Picnik is now offering a service called Picnik Takeout, a feature that allows you to download photos onto your desktop in a zip file.  If you are a use of Google+, you will also have the ability to transfer photos to your account.  Believe it or not, Picnik is expected to be integrated into Google+.

What if I purchased the premium service and want my money back?  This is something that I’m sure many people will ask themselves and get all upset about.  Don’t get your panties in a bunch because Picnik is offering full refunds to everyone who purchased this premium service.  On top of that, if you have never used the premium service, you have until April 19, 2012 to do so.  Picnik is offering all of their premium feature for free until its final date online.

Will you be upset to see Picnik go?  What do you think will come out of this?  Leave your thoughts in the comment section.
