Pic-Time 2.0 is Here: A New Way to Present, Sell, and Fulfill Albums with QT Albums

We’re excited to share the launch of Pic-Time 2.0.

For more than a decade, Pic-Time has been a trusted platform for gallery delivery and print sales. With this newest release, they’ve completely reimagined the client gallery into a more refined, editorial-style experience designed to support photographers in presenting their work and growing print sales.

The goal behind this update is simple: improve the client experience so photographers can sell more prints, while keeping fulfillment smooth and reliable through QT Albums.

Get Started

If you’re ready to move to the new Pic-Time experience and start using QT Albums as your print fulfillment partner, you can sign up using the links below:


Redesigned Client Experience

Pic-Time 2.0 introduces a fully rebuilt system across galleries, the print shop, and album creation tools. The focus is on helping photographers present their work in a way that feels intentional, modern, and engaging.

New cinematic gallery covers

First impressions matter. Pic-Time now includes over 30 new cover styles featuring video, animation, and multi-image layouts. These options allow photographers to set a stronger visual tone from the moment a client opens their gallery.

AI-powered album creation

Album design has been completely simplified. With the new AI album creator, clients can build personalized, story-driven wedding albums in seconds directly from their gallery. It removes friction while still keeping the emotional storytelling intact.

A rebuilt print shop

The print store has been redesigned to improve both inspiration and conversion. New immersive product pages, an updated editor, and dynamic previews help clients better understand scale and product options before purchasing.

Photographers using sales automation tools have already seen a 40% increase in average order value in 2025, showing how impactful the new experience can be.

Mobile-first experience

Every part of Pic-Time 2.0 has been built with mobile in mind. From browsing galleries to designing albums and completing checkout, the experience is smooth and consistent across all devices—making it easier for clients to purchase anytime, anywhere.

How QT Albums Fits Into Pic-Time 2.0

When Pic-Time is connected with QT Albums, the entire print sales workflow becomes seamless.

You deliver the gallery, your clients select their favorite images, and QT Albums handles production and direct shipping straight to them.

To keep things simple for clients, Pic-Time uses its own product naming system. Behind the scenes, those products are fulfilled by QT Albums as follows:

  • Fine Art Album = QT ArtBook (Matte Paper)

  • Wrapped Fine Art Album = QT Journal ArtBook (Deckled Cotton Rag Paper)

  • Lay Flat Album = QT AriaBook (Fuji Lustre Photo Paper)

  • Hardcover Book = QT Heirloom Book

  • Everyday Album = QT PrimaBook

This setup ensures a smooth client experience while keeping fulfillment consistent and high quality.

Easy Setup with the Price List Wizard

Getting started is straightforward. When you sign up through the QT Albums referral links, QT Albums is automatically set as your default lab in the Pic-Time Price List Wizard.

The system prioritizes QT Albums for fulfillment by default. It will only switch to another lab in specific cases such as:

  • Shipping location not supported by QT Albums

  • Product type not offered by QT Albums

  • Custom settings requiring products outside the QT Albums catalog

This ensures most orders stay within a reliable, streamlined workflow.

Special Launch Offer: Free Gallery Migration

To celebrate the launch of Pic-Time 2.0, photographers who purchase any annual paid plan before May 27 are eligible for a free migration of up to 200 galleries.

It’s a simple way to move your existing work into the new system without added setup time.

Holiday Campaigns with Pic-Time

The Holidays are close and with your clients eager to shop their gift list, now is a great time to launch engaging campaigns and up your revenue.  

With our products being readily available through the innovative gallery platform service, Pic-Time, your clients can shop straight from their galleries for meaningful Holiday gifts. We know that those who host sales are selling more, so why not join the party? Pic-Time offers ready-to-use Holiday Campaigns so you can implement an offer with just a click.

Holiday Albums Sale: We recommend you start and end this campaign between November 10 - November 22. 

Get our albums under your client’s trees in time for the Holidays. Our album deadline is November 22nd (November 29th with EU rush shipping) so starting an early album sale is key. Pic-Time got you covered with their Holiday Albums Sale campaign app. It’s all there - the emails and banners just set your dates and discount!

Be sure to start your Album sale soon and end it before November 22nd in order to meet our shipping deadline! 


Classic Holiday Sale 

Phase 1: Black Friday, November 26 - Cyber Monday, November 30 

Phase 2: Holiday Sale, starts on December 2nd and lasts for a week

 

The Classic Holiday Sale campaign app includes a teaser email and two phases: Black Friday and Holiday campaign. This app starts with a large Black Friday/Cyber Monday storewide discount followed by a smaller Holiday storewide campaign.

You can skip the teaser to avoid too many emails (if you made an album sale first).

The app features a festive gallery and email banners, so your clients can get into the Holiday spirit and get excited!

Based on last year’s data, each phase includes a set of optimised email send dates & times in order to boost your sales.
