Managing thousands of photos from a wedding, marathon, or corporate event? Sharing them with every guest—securely, quickly, and professionally—can be a challenge.
TurtlePic makes this process simple. It’s built for photographers and event organizers who want to deliver AI-powered, privacy-focused galleries with personalized access and branding. In this guide, we walk you through every step—from uploading your photos to delighting your guests with a seamless viewing experience.
Step 1: Setting Up Your Event Gallery
Your photo-sharing journey begins with creating a new event on TurtlePic.
- Log into your TurtlePic dashboard
- Click on “Create Event” and enter the event name, type, date, and category
- Choose your preferred privacy setting: Face Recognition, QR Code, or Open Access
- Add branding assets like your logo, event cover photo, and watermark
Once created, you’ll receive:
- A Public Link – Ideal for open galleries
- A Private Link – Perfect for secure, guest-specific access
These links will be used later to deliver the gallery.
Step 2: Uploading and Organizing Photos in Folders
Before uploading, TurtlePic requires that you create folders to organize your photos—there is no tagging feature.
For example:
- Weddings → Haldi, Sangeet, Wedding Day
- Marathons → Start Line, On Route, Finish Line
- Corporates → Registration, Conference Day 1, Awards Night
Once folders are ready:
- Upload JPEG images via drag-and-drop or bulk select
- You can upload multiple images at once, organized by folder
- Folders help in delivering a smooth and structured viewing experience
Photos remain in draft mode until the event is published. AI processing does not begin until publishing.
Step 3: Publishing the Event (To Trigger AI Indexing)
After you’ve uploaded all your images, it’s time to publish your event.
Why publishing is critical:
- AI facial recognition indexing begins only after publishing
- Your event links become active and shareable
- Guests can now access the gallery using your selected privacy method
Until this step, your photos will not appear in any search results or be processed by TurtlePic’s AI.
Step 4: Personalized Guest Access with Privacy Options
TurtlePic gives you multiple ways to deliver a personalized and secure experience:
- Private Access – Guests upload a selfie and see only photos they appear in
- Public Access – Anyone with the link can browse the full gallery
You can choose to share:
- A Public Link for unrestricted access
- A Private Link that enforces strict access based on the method selected
This makes TurtlePic ideal for everything from intimate weddings to large public events.
Step 5: Branding & Gallery Customization for Photographers
Your event gallery is not just a delivery tool—it’s also a branding opportunity.
With TurtlePic, you can:
- Add your watermark or studio logo
- Customize the gallery layout, cover photo, and background
- Display sponsor branding for corporate or large-scale events
This creates a professional experience that leaves a lasting impression on your clients and their guests.
Step 6: Tracking Gallery Performance with Analytics
Understanding how your gallery performs helps you optimize future events. TurtlePic provides:
- Number of gallery views
- Unique visitor count
- Most viewed photos or folders
- Downloads and shares
Whether you’re a solo photographer or an event agency, these insights help you track performance and refine your marketing strategy.
Step 7: Event Management & Storage Control
TurtlePic gives you full control of your event library.
- On limited plans (e.g., 500 GB), delete old events to free up space
- Deleting an event restores its storage quota
- Re-upload anytime if you’ve saved the files elsewhere
This flexibility is especially useful for photographers managing multiple events year-round.
