Why hosts add Picsui to their workflow

Couples and one-off hosts can skip the subscription. Pro features for a single event.

When Pic-Time is the right call

We're honest — Pic-Time is excellent at what it does.

  • Delivering edited galleries to clients

    Pic-Time's strength is the post-event experience: beautifully presented client galleries.

  • Selling prints and products

    If print revenue is a major part of your business, Pic-Time's storefront is hard to beat.

  • Studio-controlled brand presentation

    Pic-Time gives the photographer full control over the gallery look.

Want to capture every guest's phone too? Add Picsui as your live layer — guests upload, the room watches, you keep delivering through Pic-Time.

Many photographers run both side by side.

Common questions

Is Picsui a replacement for Pic-Time?

No — they solve different problems. Pic-Time is where a photographer delivers their finished, edited gallery to the client (and sells prints). Picsui is where guests upload their own phone photos and videos in real time during the event. Many photographers use both: Picsui for the live guest experience, Pic-Time for client delivery.

Can photographers use Picsui to share their own photos?

Yes. Photographers can upload their best shots into the same Picsui gallery so guests see a mix of pro shots and guest captures. But Picsui is not built as a print-sales storefront — for that, keep using a delivery tool.

Does Picsui have a live slideshow at the venue?

Yes. Plug any screen, TV, or projector into a browser and Picsui shows guest photos as they're uploaded. Pic-Time does not offer this.

What about live streaming?

Picsui includes live streaming to remote guests on the Enterprise plan or as an add-on. Remote family can watch the ceremony or speeches live, with a 30-day recorded replay. Pic-Time does not stream events.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Picsui Professional includes a 14-day free trial — no credit card required. For a single event, the $69 Event Pass has no subscription.
