GroupSense™ — How Pictor's Multi-Person AI Works

GroupSense™ — How Pictor's Multi-Person AI Works What is GroupSense™? Most AI photo tools are built for one person at a time. GroupSense changes that. GroupSense allows multiple people to use Generative AI experiences at the same time — so when your guests step into the booth as a group, everyone gets the AI transformation together. Many competitors only provide AI experiences for one person at a time; GroupSense is how Pictor makes group AI work. Under the hood, GroupSense is Pictor's proprietary technology that detects and preserves every individual face in a group shot — whether there's one guest or twelve — so the AI transformation respects each person instead of averaging everyone into one uncanny blur. In plain English: your whole group gets the same AI style applied at once, and every face comes out looking intentional, not artificial. When should you use GroupSense? GroupSense runs automatically under the hood of any AI Photo style in Pictor, so you reach for it whenever your event has group shots — which is most events. A few examples: - Weddings — the bridal party, family groupings, the full guest book shot - Corporate events and galas — teams, departments, leadership groups - Birthdays and family gatherings — multi-generational photos where everyone wants to be in the frame - Proms and school events — friend groups who want the same AI style together If your client has ever asked "can we do the AI effect on a group photo?" — GroupSense is the yes. How do you use it? GroupSense is built into every AI Photo style. There's no separate toggle — it's always on wherever AI Photo is available. 1. Capture your group photo at the booth (any supported platform — see below). 2. Open the photo in Pictor and pick an AI Photo style from the library. 3. Apply the style. Pictor uses GroupSense under the hood so every face in the group is preserved. 4. Review and share or print as usual. You don't need to tell Pictor how many people are in the shot, and you don't need to switch modes for groups versus singles. GroupSense handles both. What platforms does GroupSense work on? GroupSense runs wherever AI Photo runs in Pictor — across all supported platforms: - iOS (iPhone and iPad) - Android - Mac - PC (Windows) - Web (Virtual Booth) If you can run an AI Photo style on a device, GroupSense is part of that pipeline. Which plan includes GroupSense? GroupSense is included on all Pictor plans. There is no tier gate — if you have Pictor, you have GroupSense. Tokens, quotas, and other things to know GroupSense is an AI feature, so it draws from your token balance the same way AI Effects, AI Video, and other AI Photo styles do. A few specifics: - Token cost per GroupSense AI Photo is the same as a single-face AI Photo. Group shots don't cost more tokens just because there are more people in the frame. - There are no special GroupSense-specific caps — group size, resolution, and rate limits are the same as for any other AI Photo. - If you run out of tokens, AI-dependent features (including GroupSense-powered AI Photos) stop generating until you top up. Quick FAQ Does GroupSense work on single-person photos? Yes. GroupSense is the underlying technology that powers AI Photo, so single-person photos benefit from it too. The "group" in GroupSense refers to its ability to handle groups — it doesn't require a group to work. Do I have to turn GroupSense on? No. It's always on wherever AI Photo is available. There's no toggle, setting, or mode to switch. Do group photos cost more tokens? No. A GroupSense AI Photo costs the same number of tokens as a single-face AI Photo, regardless of how many people are in the frame. Does GroupSense work offline? AI Photo (and therefore GroupSense) requires an internet connection. Pictor's offline-friendly features (Photos, GIFs, Boomerangs, Email/Text Sharing, basic printing) still work without connectivity. Is GroupSense available on my plan? Yes. GroupSense is available on all Pictor plans. Where can I see examples? The Pictor homepage and feature gallery show real GroupSense outputs on group shots — see pictor.pro.

Customize Country Codes for SMS (and Set a Default)

Who it's for: You want to control which phone country codes guests can pick — e.g., restrict to USA only, or pre-select the local country for an international event. What it does: Customize which country codes appear in the phone-number entry dropdown — restrict the list to exactly the countries you want, whether that's a single country or several — and choose which one is pre-selected. Restricting to a single country (e.g., US +1) removes the need for guests to search a long list — and prevents mistyped foreign codes. Steps 1. Open your event in the Event Editor. 2. Go to Workflow → Share Output → SMS settings. 3. Find the Limit country codes setting. 4. Select which countries should be shown to guests — pick just one (e.g., only United States (+1)) or multiple countries (e.g., US, Canada, and Mexico for a cross-border event). 5. Set the Default country code guests should see pre-selected. 6. Save your event. Tips - For US-only events, showing only +1 effectively restricts texting to US numbers. - For destination or multi-country events, keep several countries in the list and pre-select the host country to save guests a step. Available since v1.3.14 on iOS, Android, and Web.

Customize (or Remove) Email Domain Suggestions

Who it's for: You want to control the autocomplete suggestions guests see while typing their email address (e.g., @gmail.com, @yahoo.com). What it does: You can now edit the list of suggested email domains — add ones your audience actually uses (e.g., a corporate domain at a company event) or remove suggestions entirely for a cleaner input. Steps 1. Open your event in the Event Editor. 2. Go to Workflow → Share Output → Email settings. 3. Find the Customize email suggestions setting. 4. Add, edit, or remove suggested domains. Remove all of them to disable suggestions. 5. Save your event. Tips - At corporate events, adding the company's domain (e.g., @acme.com) speeds up entry and reduces typos. - Removing suggestions is useful when defaults don't match your audience. Available since v1.3.14 on iOS, Android, and Web.

Can guests see each other's photos?

Short answer No. When a guest gets their photo by email, text, or QR code, the link opens only their own photo. They can't browse other guests' photos from it. The event gallery The event gallery is separate. It shows all photos from the event. You control who sees it: - Password-protect it, so only people with the passcode can view it. - Turn it off completely, so guests only ever see their own photos. Good for Private events, corporate events, schools, and anywhere guests expect their photos to stay private. Questions? Use the chat widget at app.pictor.pro or email support@pictor.pro.
