What are the system requirements to run Pictor?

Pictor runs across all major platforms — iPad, iPhone, Android tablets/phones, Mac, PC, and web. Here's what you need for each.


iPad & iPhone (Recommended for Live Events)

For the best experience capturing photos at live events, we recommend devices with high-resolution front-facing cameras.

Minimum iOS version: iOS 12.4 or newer

iPad

  • iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation or newer)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation or newer)
  • iPad Air (4th generation or newer)
  • iPad (9th generation or newer)
  • iPad mini (6th generation or newer)

iPhone

  • iPhone 11 or newer

Note: Apple frequently releases new models. Any newer iPad or iPhone running iOS 12.4 or later will also work. For the smoothest AI processing, a device with an A13 Bionic chip or later is recommended.


Android Tablets & Phones

Pictor has a native Android app available on Google Play. It supports most modern Android devices running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or newer.

Recommended specifications:

  • 4GB+ RAM (8GB recommended for AI processing)
  • 64GB+ storage
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 or equivalent processor (or newer)
  • High-resolution front-facing camera (8MP+ recommended)

Tip: Android performance can vary across manufacturers. For mission-critical events, we recommend testing Pictor on your Android device before event day.


Mac & Windows PC

Pictor does not currently have a native Mac or PC desktop app. On these devices, operators run Pictor through the Virtual Booth — no download required, just a modern web browser.

Recommended browsers:

  • Chrome 90+ (best performance)
  • Safari 15+ (Mac)
  • Edge 90+ (Windows)
  • Firefox 90+

Note: JavaScript must be enabled. An internet connection is required.

Print Partner App (for DNP Printers)

If you are connecting a DNP printer to your setup, there is a separate Pictor Print Partner native app available for download:

  • Mac: requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or newer
  • Windows: requires Windows 10 or newer (64-bit)

The Print Partner app is only needed for printer connectivity — it is not required to run the booth itself.


Web Browser (app.pictor.pro)

You can access the Pictor dashboard from any modern web browser. For the best experience, we recommend:

  • Chrome 90+ (recommended for best performance)
  • Safari 15+ (Mac)
  • Edge 90+ (Windows)
  • Firefox 90+

JavaScript must be enabled. The dashboard requires an internet connection to manage events, view galleries, and access settings.


General Requirements

  • Internet connection — required for the Pictor dashboard and cloud features. Event capture can operate with intermittent connectivity; uploads sync when reconnected.
  • Pictor account — free to create at app.pictor.pro. No credit card required.
  • Stable WiFi or cellular data — recommended for sharing, printing, and AI processing.
