I was very excited to discover picknik (via this site) then sad to find out that it is closing down, but I think if you liked picknik you will LOVE picmonkey - www.picmonkey.com
It's been set up by 2 ex picknik workers and has everything you loved about picknik, and they seem to be adding more every few days....they don't have collage yet but it's coming soon.
It's fun and funky, and I know that I won't miss picknik when it goes now !
I've been using Picmonkey on and off for a few weeks and I like it. They are definitely adding things in slowly and I'm hoping the collage and mirror frames will be there soon. They've changed the names on some of the effects but there are many comparable to what's on Picnik now, so switching over is going to be rather harmless. Picmonkey is by far the easiest to use, but here are a two others that are free and have some nice features:

Picnik is also recommending Aviary. I haven't tried them yet. And Photofunia, Picture2life, and pixlr are also sites that have been recommended by other photographers here on 365.
I just tried PicMonkey for the first time today and I like it. I had tried Google+ Creative Kits but was dismayed to find no Cloning which I use a lot. Hurrah for PIcMonkey which also has it! I'll be using this one....
This is fantastic - thanks heaps for sharing. I originally used Picnik and was dissappointed to hear it was closing. Have since been using Photoshop and really can't do more with it than add a signature. PicMonkey is so simple and easy to use. Again thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks so much for this info Sharon, you're a life saver!! i was getting a liitle worried as the closing date for picnik is getting closer. I have just tried picmonkey and it's awesome with maybe a little more than picnik.....thanks again:)
@amoment sorry Jessica, I got home late, and needed to upload my photo quickly, and remembered I wanted to write about picmonkey, and just didn't see your thread, I see it now...so very sorry for repeating what you said
Oh brilliant thank you for telling us! I was so dissapointed when i found out picnik was closing this month, ive used them so much. Will have to check out this picmonkey!
@sharonaddison@olivetreeann@onie I've been trying to use it but it keeps saying my files are too large - even when I shrink them - do you know what the size limit is for uploading? Thanks!
@judithg I had that problem a few weeks ago when it first started, but I know they fixed the problem - am not sure what the size limit is...but I'm able to upload fine now
Thanks - I'll have another go! I know some of my files ate about 10MB but Picnik takes them. PicMonkey wouldn't take 1.5MB before - I'll have another shot because it looks like a nice site.
