Changes to Pictures Up, newest first.

November 12, 2026

End-to-end encryption. A studio’s data is opened only on its members’ devices; our server stores it sealed and can’t read it. Each studio moves at its first sign-in from today, and your password never leaves your device.
Every link carries its own key. Share links, signing links, holds, call sheets and the client portal open with a key after the #, which stays in the browser. Emails from a studio carry the link only.
Links sent before your studio moves stop opening once it has. Send them again from the app.
Calendar holds link to a page with the day, the answer and a button that adds it to the calendar, instead of attaching an invite.
Download all on a share page downloads the files one after another.
Anything a guest sends back (comments, approvals, signatures, hold answers, uploads) is sealed for the studio and filed when someone there has Pictures Up open.
Signatures collected on set are kept encrypted on the phone until they sync.

New addresses. The app is at app.picturesup.io and the docs at docs.picturesup.io. Old addresses forward, and links already sent keep working. Sign in once more on the new address.
Download all on a share page gets every file the link allows as one zip.
Guest uploads to a share link carry on after a dropped connection.
Release signing links can be switched off on their own, from Paperwork.
Share links made from now on are 16 characters after /s/. Links already sent keep working.

Previews play as soon as the default size is ready. 4K, upright and full-width sizes follow.

Locations by address, anywhere in the world. Coordinates fill themselves in when you save.
Forecasts from Open-Meteo, up to 16 days out.
Calendar holds from the schedule, for crew and talent.
Three Overview layouts: Poster, Slate and Frame line.
Short share links, eight characters after /s/.
A quality menu under the player.
