A top app on Android for the past two years, PicsArt combines the simplicity of Instagram with the full-featured capabilities of Photoshop, and it is completely free. With a focus on driving organic growth and keeping users happy, PicsArt has been installed more than 130 million times across Android, iPhone and Windows Phone, with continued traction averaging about 5 million new installs per month.

While other free mobile image editing apps offer stripped-down versions of premium offerings, PicsArt provides the full power of professional but easy to use editing and drawing capabilities, with frequent updates, including hundreds of customizable effects and masks, corrections, drawing tools with numerous layers and brush options, custom clipart, and more.

"Today's mobile users are more sophisticated, and they want to do more with their photos and mobile creations," said Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO at PicsArt Inc. "We make it easy for them to be as creative as they want, wherever they are, and work with other creatives to take their personal artistry to a new level."

PicsArt is also home to a unique social network of 13 million registered users who actively share their works in a nurturing, collaborative environment where they can inspire and learn from each other, edit each other's works, grow as artists, and be discovered. PicsArt users span everyone from professional photographers and graphic artists to amateur shutterbugs who simply want their photos to look better.

"Whereas other photo apps are about capturing a moment, PicsArt is about creating a moment," continued Avoyan. "We're very excited to see this idea resonating within Apple's own community."
