picu – Online Photo Proofing Gallery

Stunning, Theme-Independent Design

picu prides itself on its beautiful, theme-independent design for proofing collections. This ensures a consistent, user-friendly, and easy-to-understand workflow for your clients. But that’s not all – picu Pro takes it a step further by allowing you to customize the client photo gallery to match your branding, providing your clients with a personalized proofing experience that reinforces your professional image.

Enhance Your Brand (Pro Only)

With picu Pro, you have the power to add your custom logo and tailor the appearance of your galleries to align with your unique branding . This level of customization distinguishes you from the competition, and leaves a lasting impression on your clients.

Set yourself apart from those photographers still using Dropbox or Google Drive, sending people away from their own website and relying on manual back & forth to keep track of every collection they’re waiting for approval on.

Interactive Image Feedback (Pro Only)

picu Pro introduces the ability for your clients to provide feedback by adding comments and markers to individual images. This really helps make the communication meaningful, since all comments are directly attached to the images they relate to, rather than being included in separate emails or messages. Easily understand client preferences and requirements accurately, including which images they are referring to, every time.

Flexible Selection Options (Pro Only)

Want to specify the minimum or maximum number of images your client can select? No problem. With picu, you can use the selection options feature to define the number or range of images clients can approve, adding clarity to the approval process, and ensuring your clients meet their selection quotas every time.

Download Capability (Pro Only)

You can (optionally) allow clients to download all images in a convenient .zip file using the download feature. This feature is often popular with clients as it makes it easy for them to access and share the approved images with others. This is an optional feature you can enable for each gallery/client if you choose to use it.

Efficient Image Management (Pro Only)

Streamline image management with the import feature. Easily upload large quantities of images via FTP and import them to picu directly from your web server. This completely removes the need for time-consuming manual uploads, making your workflow more efficient.

Theft Protection (Pro Only)

Protect your valuable images from theft with picu Pro’s robust theft protection measures. These measures include the ability to add watermarks to your uploads, along with other security features to ensure that your work remains secure.

Multi-Client Support (Pro Only)

picu Pro’s multi-client support is ideal for photographers who manage multiple clients. Send photo collections to multiple recipients and receive individual selections, ensuring a seamless and organized workflow.

Priority Support (Pro Only)
