Picu – Photo Proofing in WordPress

There’s a plugin I’ve been following the development of for years, though. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no use case for it. While I still toy around with the idea of switching careers to photography, let’s take a look at the photo proofing plugin Picu by the German-Swiss design and development studio haptiq.

The target audience for this plugin, which is free directly from WordPress.org, is professional photographers who need approval from their clients for photos from commissioned projects.

After installation, the plugin allows you to create “collections” containing various photos. These collections can be sent to clients for selection and approval via email or direct link.

The link opens in a completely standalone interface, independent of the active theme. This view is fully powered by Picu.

While the free version of Picu offers a fantastic preview of the Pro version—which includes advanced features, branding options, and workflows—it’s also excellent and fully functional on its own.
