Hey Indie Hackers 👋
I’m Mukul, co-founder of Picnie.
2 years back, I was juggling 4–5 different tools just to manage visuals for my projects — one for templates, another for resizing, another for watermarking, another for background removal… it was a mess. Workflows were slow, repetitive, and hard to scale.
So, we built Picnie.
Picnie is an all-in-one visual automation platform that helps you create, edit, generate, and automate images, PDFs, banners, and more — all from a single dashboard.
2,500+ users already onboard
Millions of images processed
Integrations with Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Pabbly, and more
Powerful REST APIs & Webhooks for dev workflows
No-code friendly + developer-ready
Whether you’re a creator, SaaS founder, marketer, or e-commerce brand, Picnie helps you:
Generate visuals & PDFs at scale
Automate bulk image creation via Google Sheets or APIs
Resize, watermark, compress, and remove backgrounds instantly
Collaborate on templates with your team
We’ve kept Picnie simple, fast, and built for scale — because I know how painful managing visuals can get when your product grows.
I’d love your feedback on what we’ve built so far 🙌
What’s missing? What would make Picnie 10x better for you?

You need to work a lot to the platform to make it competitive as per marketing standards
Thanks for checking out Picnie! 🙌
Totally agree — the visual automation space is competitive, and we’re continuously improving Picnie to make it stand out.
I’d love to know your perspective — which features or improvements do you think would make Picnie more competitive and valuable for you? Your feedback will really help us shape the roadmap.
Congrats on the traction, this solves a real pain. My must haves are data merge and brand control. Can I bind template variables to Google Sheets or an API and lock fonts and colors with brand kits? Do you have webhooks and a render queue, and how is pricing metered at scale? Any plans for a Figma plugin or PSD import?
Hi Dennis,
Thank you for your thoughtful questions and for showing interest in Picnie!
Picnie provides pre-built templates that you can fully customize, or you can design new ones using the template editor. The editor supports variables (e.g., background_image, title, etc.) that can be mapped directly to Google Sheets or APIs, making data merge seamless.
For brand control, you can set fonts, colors, and other brand elements while customizing templates, ensuring consistency across all your outputs.
We also support webhooks to help you integrate Picnie into your workflows, and you’ll find multiple pricing plans on our platform designed to suit different use cases and scales.
Currently, Figma and PSD imports are not supported, but we appreciate your input and will consider it for our future roadmap.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Mukul. Built in limits, gradual warmup, and smart pacing cover safety well, and the weekly planner with a live safety meter feels like a strong next step.
btw we could partner up. Me and my team are building HustleAdvisor, a social network where entrepreneurs share practical step by step lessons. If you join the waitlist and later post a short write up about building Picnie, we will boost it in the main feed so more people see it.
You get: more users
We get: an experienced entrepreneur on board
This sounds exciting — I’m definitely open to collaborating!
I’ve joined the HustleAdvisor waitlist and would love to share a short write-up about Picnie — our journey from idea → first users → millions of image operations. We’ve learned a lot about solving real pain points for creators and businesses, and I think other entrepreneurs could benefit from those insights too.
Let’s stay in touch and coordinate once HustleAdvisor is live.
