A whole season of Saturdays.
One code on the info booth.
You manage the market, which means you assign stalls at six in the morning, check that the honey vendor has their permit and answer the question where is the bathroom two hundred times before noon. The market is photographed constantly by shoppers and vendors, and none of it comes back to you. A QR code on the info booth, the vendor map and the entrance banner turns a season of those photos into a gallery the market owns, reviews and, with permission, uses to bring people back next weekend.
The moments guests actually photograph at street fairs
Why street fairs work better on Picsui
Written for the person hosting this one, and checked against what the product actually does.
One code for the whole season
An Event Pass hosts the gallery for 365 days, longer than most market seasons, so the same code on the info booth works from the first spring greens to the last pumpkins. Shoppers add to it every Saturday, vendors add photos of their own stalls, and the market has a season's record without anyone collecting it.
The market decides what represents it
A public market gets photos of everything, including the vendor who would rather not be pictured and the shopper who did not agree to be. Host review means the market manager approves what goes in, and a vendor who asks to be left out simply is. What the market shares is only what the market chose.
Marketing photos at full resolution
Grant applications, the newsletter and next season's flyer all need real photos of real crowds. Every upload is kept at original quality and downloadable individually or as one archive, so the market has a library of its own stalls and its own customers instead of a stranger's stock photo of tomatoes.
No app. No account. One scan.
Guests point their camera at a QR code and are uploading in seconds. Nobody installs anything, nobody creates a login, and the grandparents can do it as easily as the teenagers.
12 months of hosting
An Event Pass keeps the gallery live for 365 days, so the link on the thank-you card still works long after the event.
You approve before anyone sees
Turn on host review and every upload waits in your queue until you approve it. AI screening flags anything questionable so you are not scrolling through hundreds of photos at midnight.
Full-resolution downloads
Download any photo, or the whole event as one archive, at original quality. What guests uploaded is what you keep — no compression, no watermark on paid events.
Guest pages in 3 languages
The upload page speaks English, Español, Français, chosen from the guest's phone settings, so a mixed-language crowd is never guessing what a button does.
Private by default, never indexed
The gallery is only reachable by the link or code you share. Guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers, and you can close the gallery whenever you choose.
How it works
Set up in a minute. Collect for the whole event.
Create the market season as one event and turn on host review so the manager approves what appears.
Print the QR code on the info booth, the sandwich board at the entrance and a tent card for every vendor, handed out at stall check-in on opening day.
Shoppers and vendors scan and upload every market day all season. The manager reviews the week's uploads once the tents come down.
Download the originals for the newsletter, the grant report and next season's flyer, and share the gallery link with vendors and the market's mailing list.
Try uploading as a guest.
Scan this with your phone the way a guest at your event would. Choose a sample photo and upload it from your browser, then open the demo gallery to see it land.
- Scan the code with your phone camera — it opens straight in the browser.
- Upload a sample photo. Look for the upload confirmation so you know it reached the host.
Use a sample you are comfortable sharing with Picsui. Please keep personal or sensitive photos out of the demo.

Getting the most from street fairs
Hand every vendor a printed tent card with the code at check-in on opening day, not a link in an email. Vendors are the best photographers a market has, because they are there every week, they photograph their own displays anyway, and a good photo of their stall is free advertising for them. Tell them the market will credit the stall by name when a photo runs in the newsletter. The info booth and the sandwich board at the entrance catch the shoppers; the vendor cards catch the crowd from the inside of the stall, which is the angle a market never has photos of.
Get the permission question settled before the first newsletter goes out. Put a plain sign at the info booth and on the market website saying photos shared to the market gallery may be used to promote the market, and add a line to the vendor agreement for next season. That covers the crowd shots and the stall displays. For a photo where one shopper or one child is clearly the subject, ask before it goes on a poster or a paid post. Host review is what makes this workable: the manager only approves what the market is comfortable using, and a vendor who prefers not to be pictured is simply never approved.
Review once a week, after the tents come down, and pick five. A market gallery grows all season, and trying to keep up on a Saturday morning with a line at the booth does not work. Saturday afternoon with a coffee, approve the week, choose the five for the newsletter and the market's social pages, and download those originals. By the end of the season the market has a dated record of every week, which is exactly what a grant application or a city council renewal asks for and nobody ever has.
Common questions about street fairs
Can one gallery run for the whole market season?
Yes. An Event Pass keeps the gallery live and open to uploads for 365 days, which covers a spring-to-frost season with room to spare. Use one event for the season and the same code on the info booth all year, and add sub-events for the special market days, like the harvest festival or the holiday market, so their photos are grouped separately from an ordinary Saturday. When the season ends, download the archive and the market has a complete year in its own files. Next season is a new event.
Can we use shopper photos in our newsletter and on social media?
You can download every approved photo at full resolution, and what you publish is the market's decision. Post a sign at the info booth and a line on the website saying photos shared to the market gallery may be used for market promotion, and put the same line in the vendor agreement. For crowd and stall photos that is enough. For an image where one identifiable person is the subject, ask them first; most shoppers say yes when a market they like asks. Host review means only photos the manager has approved are ever in the gallery to begin with.
Some vendors and shoppers do not want to be photographed. How do we respect that?
Turn on host review, which is on the event settings, and keep a short list of the vendors who have asked to be left out next to whoever reviews. Nothing anyone uploads is visible until the manager approves it, so a photo of a stall that asked for privacy is simply never approved and never seen by anyone else. For shoppers, a sign at the info booth saying the market collects photos is the honest step, and a manager who removes a photo when asked keeps the trust that makes the rest of it work. The gallery is private and never indexed, so it is not a public feed either way.
Many of our vendors and shoppers speak Spanish. Does the upload page?
The guest upload page is available in English, Español, Français, and it picks the language from the phone's own settings, so a Spanish-speaking vendor sees the upload buttons, the guestbook and the recording prompts in Spanish without choosing anything. The market manager's side, where you review uploads and download the archive, is in English. In practice the vendor tent card with the QR code needs no translation at all, since scanning a code works the same in any language.
What does it cost a small market?
An Event Pass is $29, paid once, and it covers the whole season as one event: unlimited uploads with a fair-use bound of 25 GB, host review, guest pages in 3 languages, full-resolution downloads and 365 days of hosting. There is no subscription, no per-vendor fee and no per-market-day fee, so a market with twelve stalls and a market with a hundred and twenty pay the same. For most markets it is less than one weekend's booth fee.
