A Sharing Station is a standalone companion device that lets event guests browse, select, and share their photos, GIFs, and videos captured on Pictor. By moving sharing actions away from the main booth, events run faster, lines stay shorter, and guests enjoy a smoother experience. While the Sharing Station handles sharing, the main booth continues capturing sessions without interruption.
Prerequisites
Before enabling the Sharing Station you must have a Pro-level license or higher.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
1. Create an Event
Create either a Simple or Advanced event:
Simple Mode: Supports one AI output.
Advanced Mode: Includes full workflow control and the Template Builder.
2. Enable the Sharing Station

Toggle Sharing Station ON.
3. Choose Allowed Sharing Methods
After enabling the station, you can activate one or multiple sharing options. You may enable any combination of these methods.

Open the Customize Styles modal.
Update colors, buttons, branding, and layout to match the event design.
5. Launch the Event
Start the main event on an iPad running the Pictor booth.
Launch the Sharing Station option that's located on the dashboard of Pictor on one or multiple devices, such as iPads or tablets.
6. Sessions Will Appear Automatically
Once guests begin using the booth, their captured sessions immediately populate the Sharing Station gallery.
7. Guests Select & Share Their Images
Guests can:
Find their photo or video

If rendering is still in progress, they can still share and will automatically receive the final media once complete.
Multi-Device & Multi-Booth Support
One Sharing Station license allows you to launch the station on multiple devices simultaneously.
Supports events with multiple photo booths, displaying all sessions in one unified gallery.
Guest Sharing Features
Guests can share using any method enabled in the Event Flow or Output Delivery. If cloud processing is required (ex: AI effects or video rendering), a temporary placeholder is shown so guests can share instantly. Final content is delivered automatically once rendering is complete.
Multi-select: Guests can choose one or many images and send them in a single action.
UI/UX Customization
The Sharing Station interface uses your Global Style Settings, maintaining brand consistency across all devices. You may customize elements such as colors, buttons, gallery layout, and loading screens.
