The Pic-Time Mobile App makes it easy for photographers to manage galleries, share images on the go, and enhance client service.

The app is available for you and your clients, through the App Store and Google Play.

Pic-Time Mobile App contains Pic-Time branding, so if you would prefer to keep your galleries white-labeled we recommend setting up a Web App of the gallery instead.

This article will walk you through using the Pic-Time mobile app as a photographer.

Search for “Pic-Time” in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and download it to your mobile device.

Once the app is installed, log in with your Pic-Time account to start exploring its features.
