How do I remove my face data from Picsta?

In Settings → My Face, choose Remove my selfie. It deletes both the selfie image and the face data immediately. You can re-upload any time.

What gets deleted when I delete my account?

Your user record and saved selfie, every event and photo you own, your albums, your face data, and your share links. Picsta shows a preview before you confirm, and the deletion is permanent with no recovery copy.

I just want to stop sharing — do I have to delete everything?

No. Disable the relevant share links instead, which stops access immediately without deleting your photos or account.

Where is my data stored?

On Picsta's own servers, not with third-party storage. Face detection also runs on Picsta's servers, so your photos aren't sent to any outside service.

How to delete your account or remove your selfie

Your data is yours to remove. Take out just your selfie and face data, or delete your whole account — and if you only want to stop sharing, you don't have to delete anything at all.

Your options

Remove your selfie and face data instantly in Settings → My Face
Delete your whole account, with a preview of what's removed before you confirm
Deletion is immediate and permanent — no backup or recovery copy
To just stop sharing, disable share links instead of deleting
Data lives on Picsta's own servers, not third-party storage

Before you delete

Because deletion can't be undone, download any photos you want to keep first. If you're only worried about a specific shared link, revoking that link is usually all you need.

Step by step

1
Remove just your selfie
Go to Settings → My Face → Remove my selfie. It deletes the image and your face data instantly, and stops Find Me from matching you until you upload a new one.
2
Or delete your whole account
Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Delete account. Picsta shows a preview of exactly what will be removed before you confirm.
3
Confirm
The deletion is immediate and permanent — there's no backup or recovery copy, so download anything you want to keep first.
