Simran Keyal

CA · CFA · Founder of Picsta

Simran is a Chartered Accountant and CFA charterholder who spent years living in spreadsheets — until she realised the numbers she cared about most were the ones on the back of old photographs: the dates, the names, the people in them.

She built Picsta on a simple conviction: the most valuable things we own were never in a portfolio — they're in our photographs, and too many of them get lost in group chats and forgotten phones. Picsta is her answer — a place where every shared event becomes something personal, private, and made to last.

What Picsta does

  • Create a private photo gallery for an event and share it with one link
  • Guests find the photos they're in by uploading a selfie (face search)
  • Group events: many people add their photos to one shared gallery
  • Search and filter by person or tag; organise albums and a flip-book
  • Download single photos or whole galleries, with optional HD uploads
  • Privacy controls: private photos, PIN-protected shares, revocable links

Everyone gets their own version

Picsta is personal to each person. Whether you host an event or just open a shared link, you keep your own copy and make it yours.

  • Save any shared or group event to your dashboard as your own personalised copy — yours to keep, even after the original link expires
  • Pick your own favourites and organise the photos your way
  • Keep your photos private — visible only to you
  • Create your own highlight reel from the photos you're in, ready to share to Instagram & WhatsApp

Who makes Picsta

Picsta is an independent product, available on the web at picsta.app. It works in any modern browser on phone or computer — guests don't need an account or an app to view and download their photos.
