  • ✓ Your logo & your colours across the entire client experience
  • ✓ Your own domain name (e.g. photos.your-studio.com)

Your questions, our answers
Cloud or Self-hosted: which one should I pick?

If you want zero technical work — nothing to install, everything managed — go for the Cloud (14-day free trial). If you want your images on your own server and your own domain, go for Self-hosted. They are two ways of deploying the same solution: the workflow is identical.

What are the requirements for the Self-hosted version?

PHP 8.2+, with the PDO SQLite, GD, zip, OpenSSL, mbstring and fileinfo extensions. It runs on most shared hosting (OVH, Infomaniak, o2switch, PlanetHoster…). Neither MySQL nor Node.js is required.

Is the Lightroom plugin included?

Yes. The Lightroom Classic plugin is included with every Self-hosted license, and available on the Cloud from the Studio plan up. It syncs choices, ratings, comments and favourites.

Can I move from Standard to Pro, or from annual to lifetime?

Yes, self-service from your account. You only pay the fixed difference between the two — Standard → Pro (white-label) or Annual → Lifetime.

What happens if my annual Self-hosted license expires?

Nothing is deleted: your client galleries stay online. You simply cannot create new albums or receive updates and support until you renew. Lifetime, on the other hand, never freezes.

Is my data safe?

With Self-hosted, everything stays with you: only the license check contacts pixmaro.com, roughly once a week. Your images never pass through our servers.
