Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Pictag.
Pictag uses small visual markers (PicTags) printed on attendee badges. When photographers upload photos, our system detects these markers and matches each photo to the right attendee. Attendees visit your branded event page, enter their badge code, and instantly see all their photos.
No. Pictag uses visual badge markers, not facial recognition. No biometric data is collected or processed. This makes Pictag fully GDPR compliant by design — no consent forms for biometric processing needed.
Pictag uses simple per-event pricing: £50 base price plus £0.10 per participant. For example, a 500-person conference costs £100. No subscriptions, no contracts.
Yes. Since Pictag uses visual markers instead of facial recognition, no biometric data is processed. Standard event photography notices apply. Attendees who prefer not to be matched can simply remove the PicTag from their badge.
