The studio app for Indian photographers

Every wedding, from first enquiry to final album.

Pikvaa is a photographer studio app built for India. Families pick album photos together in a private gallery, you track bookings, crew and payments, and full-quality photos are released only when the job is paid - priced per event in rupees.

What is Pikvaa?

Pikvaa is a studio app for Indian photographers that runs the whole job in one place: leads, quotes, bookings, crew, upload, client gallery and photo selection, payment records and final delivery. It is designed for solo photographers and small studios of two to five people, works in Tamil and English, and is built for everyday Android phones and slow networks.

One workflow

Stop juggling Drive links, WhatsApp threads and spreadsheets.

Most studios run a wedding across five or six tools. Pikvaa puts the steps in order, so nothing slips between the shoot and the album.

Pikvaa event workflow

Client photo selection

The whole family selects album photos together - live.

Share one gallery link and a 6-digit Client PIN on WhatsApp. Parents, the couple and cousins open it in a browser, with no app to install, and work on one shared selection that syncs as they go.

  • Love, Favourite and Add-to-album tags with album priority 1/2/3
  • “Removed by Amma · Undo” so nobody loses a pick
  • Watermarked previews; full quality stays locked
  • A clear 60-day selection deadline the client can see

Online gallery delivery

Deliver finals when the job is paid - not before.

Record advances and part-payments as they come in by UPI, cash or bank transfer. When confirmed payments reach the approved price and the owner approves the final set, the client gets full-quality downloads through a secure gateway.

  • Up to 5 completed downloads; failed downloads don't count
  • Client-made share galleries with view-only PINs
  • Link and PIN sent as separate WhatsApp messages

Studio management

Leads, quotes, bookings and crew in one calendar.

Capture an enquiry in seconds, send a quote the client accepts by OTP, and turn it into a booking that reserves the date and the crew. Photographers see their schedule - not amounts or client phone numbers.

  • Tentative and confirmed bookings with hold days
  • Staff roles: Owner, Manager, Photographer, Editor
  • Invite freelancers per event, free of seat charges

Storage & protection

Pay per event. Know every date before you pay.

No monthly storage bill and no ‘unlimited’ promise. Pick a pack sized to the job - 3 GB for a birthday, 40 GB for a wedding - and see the selection deadline, gallery end, storage expiry and deletion date up front.

  • Optional Protected packs keep a verified second copy of finals
  • 30-day archive and 7-day recovery bin after expiry
  • Prices before GST and the GST-inclusive total, side by side
