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.

Frequently asked questions

What is Picsta?

Picsta is a photo delivery and sharing platform at picsta.app, built first for professional wedding and event photographers. A photographer or host uploads the event to a private gallery and shares one link; every guest finds the photos they are in by uploading a selfie, with no app or account. Groups can collect everyone's photos into one shared event.

Does everyone get their own version of an event?

Yes. Whether you host an event or open a shared one, you keep your own personalised version on your dashboard — your own favourites, your private photos, and your own highlight reel. It stays yours even after the original link expires.

Do I need to download a Picsta app?

Guests never need one. A shared link opens in any browser on phone or computer, where they view, find and download their photos. Photographers and hosts can run their events from the web or the free Picsta app for iPhone.

Who is Picsta for?

Professional wedding and event photographers first: Picsta delivers a whole event to every guest from one link carrying the studio's branding and Enquire button, with proofing links, original-file delivery, sub-events for multi-day weddings, a Mac and Windows uploader that watches your export folder, and guest galleries that open on a full-bleed cover with a Find Me button. Then the hosts and guests themselves: couples, families, trips, clubs and schools who want everyone's photos in one place and a selfie to find their own.
