2024 Recap: Looking Back & Moving Forward
2024 has been a busy year here at Pic-Time, but without a doubt, it was also one to remember. From innovative features to new integrations and global expansions, Pic-Time empowered photographers like you to elevate your craft and business. Here’s a look at the milestones we achieved together.
Video Delivery
We transformed visual storytelling with Video Delivery, letting you showcase photos and videos side by side in your galleries. From social media-ready clips to full-length films in HD or 4K, your galleries now provide an immersive way for clients to relive their memories.
In just two months, 65,006 clips and 40,688 videos have been uploaded—making it one of this year’s standout updates. Video Delivery is included with all plans, with expandable storage up to 5TB, so you can manage your visual content effortlessly in one place.
Mobile App
Managing galleries on the go got a whole lot easier this year with our mobile app. Designed to keep you connected wherever your work takes you, the app lets you view galleries, search, download, upload, and share photos, slideshows, and blog previews directly to social media.
Vendor Network
This July we introduced the Vendor Network, a feature designed to strengthen professional connections and open doors to new opportunities. By sharing often-overlooked photos—like wide venue shots, floral arrangements, catering, or decor—you can contribute meaningful content to vendors, gain brand exposure, and build lasting partnerships.
AI Search for Clients
We introduced AI Search to make gallery browsing easier and more engaging. Exclusive to the Advanced Plan, this feature lets clients filter and find their photos by person, moments, or keywords. It transforms gallery viewing into an interactive and seamless experience, doubling viewing time and boosting both engagement and print sales.
Selfie Gallery Access
Clients and guests can now unlock galleries and find their event photos by taking a selfie. Available on the Advanced Plan, Selfie Search restricts access only to featured individuals, delivering a private, guest-specific collection of photos for each one. Powered by AI, Selfie Search enhances the gallery experience while keeping client privacy a top priority.
Main Marketing Apps Refresh
Early Bird, Anniversary Gift, and Abandoned Cart—now speak 11 languages, with updated and improved copy, design, and structure. These apps, which have already boosted print sales by an average of 5x, now feature an even more effective and personal client experience.
Integrations
HoneyBook
This year, we enhanced our HoneyBook integration, making it more seamless. You can now embed images and slideshows directly into HoneyBook files and forms, adding a personal touch to your client communication. You can also create Pic-Time galleries straight from HoneyBook, streamlining your workflow from start to finish.
Zapier
Our Zapier integration unlocked endless possibilities for automating your workflow. You can now connect Pic-Time with thousands of Zapier apps to streamline processes like syncing email subscribers, managing client data, automating invoice creation, and more. With ready-to-use templates, setting up these automations is quick and easy, helping you save time and effort.
Imagen
We teamed up with Imagen to streamline your editing and gallery delivery. Imagen is an AI tool that learns your editing style and applies it precisely, while our integration lets you export edited images directly to Pic-Time. This speeds up workflows significantly and saves storage space by using smaller compressed files, ensuring faster and smoother delivery.
Print Store Updates
New Products & Sizes
We expanded your store offerings with new wall display options like Dibond Prints and Matted Frames, as well as new square sizes for frames, canvases, and collages. These additions give your clients more variety and bring fresh possibilities to their print collections.

Year-Round Discounted Print Samples
We introduced the option to order year-round discounted print samples from 18 lab partners (excluding the holiday season). Promoting printing is at the heart of what we believe in as a company and samples are a great way to showcase product quality to clients in person, explore new offerings, and boost your print sales.
New Lab Fulfillers
Our global lab network grew with two exciting additions: Oodio in India and Dialab in Finland. Partnering with Oodio introduces Pic-Time to the Indian market, providing localized services for photographers and expanding our reach. Meanwhile, Dialab, our first lab in Finland, strengthens our presence in Europe, offering photographers even more accessibility and options.

Flat-Rate Shipping (US)
We introduced $10 flat rate shipping for US-based labs within the contiguous United States, providing predictable shipping costs for photographers and their clients. This update makes it easier for clients to order multiple products without additional shipping costs, enhancing the overall convenience and appeal of your store.
Conferences
We brought the Pic-Time family closer than ever, at 27 conferences across 14 countries and connecting with more than 20,000 of you. From the United States and the UK to Italy, Mexico, and beyond, each event was a celebration of our shared passion for photography and an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together.
