Looks like Canva.
Works like a factory.
Picnie is the Canva alternative built for bulk image production and developer workflows. Process thousands of images, automate via API, and pay for what you use - not per seat.
Canva is for one design. Picnie is for ten thousand.
If your day involves processing more than a handful of images, you're using the wrong tool. Here's what changes when you switch.
Built for bulk, not one-offs
Process up to 1,000 product images, social variants or catalog updates in a single batch. Canva is designed for individual designs - Picnie is designed for pipelines.
A real API your developers will love
REST endpoints, Node / Python / PHP SDKs, webhooks and predictable credit-based pricing. Wire Picnie into your CMS, PIM or CI in an afternoon.
AI tools that do the boring work
Background remover, AI enhancer, OCR and product-photo generation - all batchable. Skip the click-drag-export cycle for every image.
Pay only for what you use
Transparent credits, no seat tax, no surprise upgrades to unlock a single feature. Top-ups roll without subscription lock-in.

Teams that outgrew Canva
Ecommerce catalogs
Re-shoot 5,000 SKUs? Drop them in. Auto-crop, white-background, watermark and resize for Amazon, Shopify and your site in one pass.
Marketing variants
One hero image → 14 channel variants. Story, post, banner, email - all sized and brand-safe, generated from a single source.
Developer pipelines
Trigger Picnie from your upload flow. User posts an image → returns compressed, OCR'd, watermarked. No human in the loop.
Studio post-production
Bulk-cutout an entire shoot, batch-color-correct, export every format. Hours instead of days.
"We switched and never looked back."
"We dropped Canva for product-image work the day we tried Picnie. Cutting 8,000 backgrounds in one job vs. one-by-one is night and day."
"Our devs wired Picnie into the upload flow in a weekend. Every image our users post is auto-resized and compressed. Canva couldn't do this."
"Same output, ~70% lower bill, no per-seat madness. The credits model just fits how a team actually works."
