Face search that actually works
A guest takes a selfie and gets only the photos they appear in. No scrolling 600 frames looking for a cousin.
For photographers
Get paid for the photos you already took.
Upload an event once. Every guest finds themselves with a selfie, pays you on the spot with M‑Pesa, and downloads straight away. You keep 75%.

You already know how this usually goes
The shoot ends well. Then comes the part nobody enjoys: a WhatsApp group of 200 people, a Google Drive link, a week of “can you send mine again?”, and chasing individuals for KES 500 each. Most of them never pay. The photos you were proud of end up compressed in somebody’s status.
PicsZako takes that whole job off you. You upload. Guests do the rest.
Three steps, and you are done
-
1
Upload the event
Drag your photos in. They send a few at a time, so a dropped connection costs you one photo, not the whole batch. You watch the faces get indexed as it goes.
-
2
Share one link
One link or a printed QR code for the whole event. No accounts for guests, no gallery codes to remember, nothing to explain at the door.

Get paid
Guests take a selfie, find the photos they are in, and pay by M‑Pesa. Your money clears in three days and goes to your phone.
What you get
M‑Pesa, not a foreign card
Guests pay the way Kenyans actually pay. Your payout goes to your M‑Pesa number, from KES 1,000 up.
Your prices, your brand
Set a price per event, per album, or per photo. Put your studio name, logo and colour on the gallery — guests see you, not us.
Originals stay protected
Guests browse watermarked previews. The full-resolution file is only released after it has been paid for.
A wallet you can read
Every sale, every deduction, every payout in one ledger. You can see what cleared, what is still cooling, and what is on its way.
Guests can add their own
Anyone at the event can contribute photos from their phone. Nothing appears in your gallery until you approve it.
What it costs
You keep 75% of every sale.
There is no monthly fee, no listing fee and no charge for storage. PicsZako takes 25% when a photo sells, and nothing at all when one doesn’t.
- Sell a photo at KES 750 → KES 562 is yours
- Payouts to M‑Pesa from KES 1,000
- Funds clear three days after the sale, then you can withdraw
Straight answers
Do I need a website or any technical setup?
No. Create an account, upload an event, share the link. Everything a guest needs is on that one page.
Who owns the photos?
You do. PicsZako stores and delivers them on your behalf. You set the price, you decide what guests may download, and you can delete an event whenever you want.
How quickly do I get my money?
A sale becomes withdrawable three days after it is paid — that window exists so a reversed payment cannot leave your balance short. After that, request a payout to M‑Pesa any time you are above KES 1,000.
What if a guest cannot find themselves?
They can search again, browse the whole event, or leave their number and be messaged the moment they turn up — which also puts them on your contact list for that event.
Can guests just screenshot the previews?
Previews are watermarked and served at screen resolution. The original file is never sent to a browser until it has been paid for.
What about guests who do not want to be found by face?
Any guest can opt out of face matching on your gallery in one tap, and their match data is deleted immediately. Your photos are not affected.
Your next event could pay for itself
Setting up takes a few minutes and costs nothing. Upload one event and see what the guests do.
