PicPeak is a self-hosted photo sharing platform designed primarily for professional photographers, studios and event organisers. It provides tools for creating branded photo galleries that can be shared with clients and event participants.
The software is particularly suited to wedding photography, corporate events, portraits and other situations where photographs need to be delivered to a defined audience. Each event can have its own gallery, access restrictions and expiration settings.
Unlike general-purpose photo management applications, PicPeak concentrates on client delivery and presentation. It combines gallery management with interactive viewing, download controls and facilities for collecting photographs from event participants.
This is free and open source software.
