Picvario Reviews

I paid for tier 3 and now they are going to close the service. Waste of money

5 tacos for hosting media files on AWS, which makes embedding and loading images on my website fast. I agree with others that pCloud integration would be a plus. I love it!

Ok, so I am accustomed to Google and Amazon photo services and their search ability to ID objects and facial recognition.

I'm guessing that Picvario is built using one of those engines.

For example, I have a picture of a female lying on the beach. The POV is from just off her hip so you can see from a couple of inches above her knees down to her sandy toes and beyond that, the crashing waves on the beach. The name of the file is: piq-id-zqlhtvu.jpg

Picvario processed the photo with these results:
Title: Sandy feet on the beach
Description: Sandy feet on the beach with waves and horizon in the background.

The Exif data is sparse, only including the width, height, filesize, filename, and a bunch of zeros for geolocation.

So, I would say that I'm pleasantly surprised at how well the image recognition is.

A lightbox feature would be nice so that one could save some images and then download them all as a zip. You do have the option to create a new Collection to add images to, and then you can Export -> Download, and it will zip them up for you to download. For my workflow, that will end up having too many collections and cause me to go back and delete them when I'm done. To me, a Lightbox is a bit more transitory, but I can see saving a collection when working with a larger team.

The only other suggestion for a search filter would be the ethnicity of the people in the asset.

Add in the 4TB of AWS storage, and this is a Great Deal.

I really like how Picvario is going to save me a whole load of time, AND... frustration.

Spending time looking for an asset you know you have, but can't find is very frustrating! I like the look and functionality of this and support is great too. I had a basic question and just wasn't getting it. Anna was patient and guided me through the issue (which was my issue, not the product) and is now resolved.

There's loads more to explore with this, but I'm already happy and thinking of upgrading.
