How it works

  1. 01

    Install

    One Docker container, SQLite included. Runs on a NAS, a VPS, or the Mac in your studio.

  2. 02

    Create an event

    The gallery gets a name, a password, and an expiry date. Photos come in via drag & drop.

  3. 03

    Send the link

    Your clients view in the browser — with watermarks if you want — and download everything as a ZIP.

  4. 04

    Let it expire

    On the set date the gallery is archived automatically. PicPeak sends the reminder emails beforehand.
