Photo-editing service Aviary announced today that it has passed 50 million monthly active users, a 100 percent growth in the past six months. With all of its success, the company also revealed that it will be launching its service in Japan, the first international expansion for Aviary — and it’s happening in June.

Such a milestone wasn’t done by Aviary alone. In fact, the company attributes its usage from its partner apps, such as Flickr, Pic Stitch, Tango, and others. Company CEO Tobias Pegg shared that there are currently 4,662 apps integrated with Aviary right now, an increase from 3,500 in March.

In total, Aviary says that its users have edited more than 4 billion photos through its product.

To put these statistics into context, in September 2012 (about 8 months ago), the company reported editing more than 1 billion photos. Then, in March, Aviary said it currently had 35 million monthly active users.

Until now, the 50 million monthly users came from the United States. Today, Pegg announced that it was going to launch the company’s first international expansion — starting this June, its services will be available to users in Japan.

Asia has apparently been demanding Aviary’s presence for quite some time now and Pegg says its partners in the region are leveraging Aviary’s localized SDK for photos and stickers (!) while also creating “custom content” for users.
