Mountain View, CA, June 21, 2013 --(PR.com)-- PicsArt, the world’s premier free photo editor, which is installed on over 60 million mobile devices, has unveiled a major upgrade to its Android application. The latest version includes the sensational new DrawCam feature. This allows users to combine live camera with photo editing and drawing.

“We constantly research to create interesting and unique features for our users to unleash their creativity. The new DrawCam feature will allow our users to create unique artwork on the spot,” said Artavazd Mehrabyan, PicsArt’s co-founder and chief technology officer. “The DrawCam feature was designed during a regular PicsArt team hackathon; a 24-hour brainstorming session for developing new and innovative features.

About PicsArt
A division of SocialIn based in Mountain View, CA, PicsArt is a team of 40 passionate developers who shared a sheer frustration that no free photo app seemed to have a robust feature set. When PicsArt 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. A bootstrapped startup driven to profitability by its fiercely loyal community, 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 60 million installs and growing at more than 4.5 million installs per month, PicsArt’s development has only just begun.
