Output Delivery controls how your guests receive their photos, videos, and other content after the booth experience. Pictor offers multiple delivery methods — from instant digital sharing to cloud backups and physical prints — so you can tailor the experience to each event.
Note: This section was previously called "Output Settings" in older versions of Pictor. It's now called Output Delivery throughout the app.
Accessing Output Delivery
Open your event and navigate to Output Delivery from the left sidebar or event settings area. Here you'll see all available delivery methods, each with its own toggle and configuration options.
Delivery Methods
Sharing Station (Pro and Premium)
The Sharing Station is the primary way guests receive their content at live events. After their session, guests are presented with a sharing screen where they can:
Email — enter their email address to receive their photos/videos
Text/SMS — enter their phone number to receive a link via text message
QR Code — scan a QR code displayed on screen to instantly access their content on their phone
AirDrop — receive content directly via AirDrop (iPad only)
You can enable or disable each sharing method individually. For most events, enabling Email + QR Code provides the best balance of convenience and reliability.

Dropbox
Connect your Dropbox account to automatically back up all event content to the cloud. Once connected, you can configure:
Export Folder — choose which Dropbox folder receives your event files.
ZIP Export — optionally bundle all files into a ZIP archive for easy download.
Open Dropbox Gallery — quickly access your uploaded files from within Pictor.
Dropbox integration is a great way to deliver a complete set of event photos to your client after the event, or as a backup in case of device issues.
Printing
Enable direct printing to send outputs straight to a connected printer. Pictor supports dye-sublimation printers (DNP, HiTi) as well as standard inkjet and laser printers.
Once enabled, you can configure paper size, cutter settings, print copies, and auto-print behavior.

Virtual Booth
The Virtual Booth lets guests participate in your event remotely — no physical booth required. When enabled, Pictor generates a shareable link that guests can open in their browser on any device.
Guests use their own camera to capture photos, and the same AI processing and templates from your workflow are applied. This is perfect for:
Hybrid events where some guests are remote
Fully virtual events
Pre-event or post-event engagement campaigns
Slideshow (Pro and Premium)
The Slideshow feature displays completed sessions on a secondary screen in real time — like a live gallery wall at your event. As guests complete their sessions, their outputs automatically appear in the slideshow rotation.
This works great on a large monitor or projector positioned near the booth area. It adds energy to the event and encourages more guests to participate when they see others' results on the big screen.
Pre-Registration / QR Scanner
Pre-Registration lets you collect guest information before they reach the booth. Guests can register via a link or QR code (e.g., printed on event signage or included in an invitation), and their details are pre-loaded when they scan in at the booth.
This speeds up the booth experience significantly — guests don't have to type their email or phone number at the sharing station because it's already captured.
The QR Scanner option works in tandem with Pre-Registration: guests receive a personalized QR code after registering, which they scan at the booth to start their session with their details pre-filled.
Configuring Multiple Delivery Methods
You can enable as many delivery methods as you need for a single event. A typical live event setup might include:
Sharing Station (Email + QR Code) — for instant guest delivery
Dropbox — for client backup and delivery
Printing — for physical keepsakes
Slideshow — for ambient display
For a virtual or hybrid event, you might use:
Virtual Booth — for remote guest access
Sharing Station (Email + Text) — for delivery
Dropbox — for the client
Tips
Always enable at least two sharing methods. If one fails (e.g., SMS delivery is slow), guests have a backup option.
Test sharing before the event. Send yourself a test email and text to verify delivery is working.
Use Pre-Registration for corporate events. Pre-collecting guest info reduces booth time and ensures accurate contact data.
Set up Dropbox early. Connect your Dropbox account and verify the export folder before the event, not during setup.
