Client photo selection

The photo selection app your clients' families will actually finish.

Pikvaa is a wedding photo selection app where the couple and their family pick album photos together in one private, watermarked gallery - no app to install, no lists over WhatsApp, and a deadline everyone can see.

How does client photo selection work in Pikvaa?

You publish a gallery of web-quality previews and share one link and a 6-digit Client PIN. Everyone with the PIN works on one live selection, tagging photos as Love, Favourite or Add to album with priority 1, 2 or 3. When the family is done, the main client submits by OTP and the list locks for editing.

Live family selection

One selection, many hands.

Indian albums are a family decision. Instead of five people sending screenshots, everyone edits the same list in real time. If someone removes a photo, the others see who did it and can undo it.

  • Changes sync live across phones
  • “Removed by <name>” with Undo
  • Album priority 1/2/3 to guide the designer

Privacy by default

Previews only. Full quality stays locked.

Galleries show web-quality previews (around 0.4 MB) with your watermark, added on our server. Full-quality files are never reachable through a gallery or share link before release. Right-click and long-press saving are blocked, though no app can promise to block screenshots.

  • 5 wrong PIN tries → 15-minute lockout
  • Change the Client PIN and old sessions end immediately
  • Watermark on by default, off per event if you choose

Deadlines that keep albums moving

The selection deadline is 60 days from gallery go-live. You can reopen a submitted selection for up to 14 more days at a time, with a hard cap of 120 days. Closing the selection never shortens the gallery access the client has paid for.

If you publish late and fewer than 60 days remain on the storage pack, Pikvaa asks you to extend the pack or accept the shorter deadline before publishing - and the client always sees the real date.

Share galleries for relatives

The main client can create up to 10 curated share galleries per event, each with its own view-only PIN. Relatives can view and heart photos but cannot select, submit or download full files. You can disable all share galleries for an event in one tap.

Is it free?

Selection is included on every plan. You pay only for the storage pack the event needs - from ₹99 before GST for a 3 GB Lite pack. See pricing.

Photo selection FAQs

Can multiple family members select photos at the same time?

Yes. Everyone with the Client PIN works on one shared live selection, and every removal shows who made it, with Undo.

Can clients download photos during selection?

Before payment, Client-PIN holders can download a limited number of social-size copies (default 10 per event, about 2048 px with a small studio logo). Full-quality files stay locked until release.

Is there a Pikvaa desktop or Mac app for selection?

Clients select in any web browser on phone or computer. Studios use the web app and a desktop upload app; free Android and iOS companion apps are designed for launch.
