Your 10 MB originals arrive as 2-5 MB files. Clients notice. Print labs notice. 12img never compresses.
“Original quality was 5-10 MB. When downloaded they are now 2-5 MB.”
Pic-Time applies compression to downloaded images, significantly reducing file sizes and quality. Photographers uploading 5-10 MB files find clients receiving 2-5 MB versions. This degrades print quality and client experience.

Full-resolution downloads: Pic-Time compresses 50-60%
Yes. Multiple photographers have reported that Pic-Time compresses images during download. Files uploaded at 5-10 MB are delivered to clients at 2-5 MB. This means lost detail, reduced print quality, and degraded color accuracy.
No. 12img stores and delivers your original full-resolution files. We generate optimized derivatives for fast web viewing, but downloads are always your original untouched files at full quality.
Clients print their favorites. Compressed files produce visible artifacts at large print sizes. Professional photographers need a platform that preserves the quality they spent hours achieving in post-production.
