Alphabet acquired Nik Software.
Nik Software operates in Consumer (Photos), is based in United States. Nik Software built digital photo-editing tools and was the maker of Snapseed, an award-winning mobile photo-editing app (Apple's iPad App of the Year). Google folded the team in and brought Snapseed to Android, offering adjustments and creative filters to strengthen Google+ photo sharing on mobile.
Acquire Snapseed and Nik's photo-editing technology to enrich mobile photography and photo sharing on Google+.
Having welcomed Nik to the Google family, we're excited to bring their Snapseed app (last year's iPad app of the year) to Android.Vic Gundotra, SVP, Google
