Common questions

How can I join the private preview?
Picsto is currently invite-only. Write to [email protected] to request access.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Open it in Chrome or Safari and install it directly to your home screen as a Progressive Web App.
How is my data protected?
Files are encrypted at rest using isolated storage keys. We never look at your photos, build ad profiles, or train AI models on your personal memories.
What happens when I delete a photo or video?
Deleted items are removed from your active library immediately, and cleared from encrypted backups over standard retention cycles.
What are the storage and file size limits?
During our private preview, every account includes 5 GB of free storage, with upload limits of 50 MB per photo and 500 MB per video. These preview caps help us manage resources smoothly as we scale toward public launch.
