05/01/2013 — MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE)

PicsArt, Inc., the world’s premier, full-featured mobile photo editor, is now available on iPhone after much anticipation from its passionate fan base. Having seized the number one spot among mobile photo editors on Android and Kindle, PicsArt is poised to dominate the mobile photography market on iOS, following a flood of demand from iPhone users. PicsArt, a self-funded and crowdsourced application, combines the complete functionality found in desktop editing and design tools with intuitive features that empower users to unleash their inner creativity and turn their photos into works of art.

“PicsArt’s iPhone launch is a testament to our growing, passionate community of users, whose thoughtful feedback has truly shaped PicsArt into the app it is today,” said Artavazd Mehrabyan, PicsArt’s co-founder and chief technology officer. “Since our founding, we have received countless messages requesting iPhone availability, many from those who switched devices and were unable to find an app with as robust a feature-set on iPhone, until now. We are confident the creative iPhone community will fall in love with PicsArt’s sleek and intuitive features that inspire the artist in everyone.”

About PicsArt

A division of SocialIn based in Mountain View, CA, PicsArt was born out of a sheer frustration that no free photo app seemed to have a robust feature set. When it launched in November 2011, there were many great one- or two-tool apps, but there wasn’t a single free app putting everything a photographer could ever want in one place. PicsArt remedied this problem and today, PicsArt dominates the Android market for photography. PicsArt consistently ranks in the top 50 free apps from Google’s Play store, and with more than 35 million downloads and growing at more than 3 million downloads per month, PicsArt’s development has only just begun.
