What is Pikvaa

Pikvaa is a studio app for Indian photographers that runs the whole job in one place: leads, quotes, bookings, crew, upload, client gallery and photo selection, payment records and final delivery. It is built for solo and small studios of two to five staff, works in Tamil and English, and is designed for low-end Android phones and slow networks.

Pikvaa is made for small Indian photography studios, from solo photographers to teams of two to five staff, starting with Tamil Nadu. It suits wedding, engagement, pre-wedding, baby, birthday and event photographers who want client selection, payment tracking and delivery in one app instead of juggling Google Drive, WhatsApp and spreadsheets.

With Pikvaa you can capture leads, send quotes clients accept by OTP, confirm bookings, assign crew and freelancers, upload photos, share a PIN-protected gallery, collect the family's album selection, record client payments and release final photos only after payment. A Today screen shows only the tasks that need action, so nothing slips through.

Pikvaa is both. It covers the full studio workflow, from lead to quote, booking, shoot, upload, gallery, selection, payment, delivery and review. Studios that only need galleries can skip the CRM and use the direct path: create an event, buy a storage pack, share the gallery and deliver, with no quote or booking needed.

Pikvaa works in Tamil and English. You choose the language when you sign up, and templates such as the WhatsApp gallery message and landing page are available in both. The app is built first for Tamil Nadu studios, so clients and families can follow the gallery and selection steps in the language they are comfortable with.

Yes. Working on low-end Android phones and slow networks is one of Pikvaa's core design rules. Uploads resume automatically after a network drop, previews are compressed to web quality of about 0.4 MB, and the Today screen shows a cached view with an 'updated at' time when the connection is weak.

Indian studios usually deliver through Google Drive links, WhatsApp and paper notes, which makes family selection, part-payments and release control messy. Pikvaa is built around Indian realities: rupee pricing, UPI QR payments recorded by the studio, WhatsApp sharing, joint family selection, Tamil and English, phone OTP login and per-event storage packs instead of monthly dollar plans.

No. Weddings are the main use, but Pikvaa works for any event: engagement, pre-wedding, baby and kids, birthdays, fashion and corporate events. Each job is an event with its own storage pack, gallery and PIN. Landing page templates cover wedding, pre-wedding, baby/kids, fashion, events and minimal styles.

No. Pikvaa never sends automatic WhatsApp messages. After key actions, a 'Share on WhatsApp' button opens your own WhatsApp with an editable Tamil or English template, link and PIN filled in. You decide what goes to the client. SMS through Fast2SMS is used only for OTPs and an optional backup reminder.

No. Pikvaa never reads WhatsApp chats, call logs or your phone contacts. On Android you can share a WhatsApp message or call entry into the app to create a lead, and only what you choose to share is taken. Nothing is pulled from your phone in the background.
