How to switch from Pic-Time to Chromafolio

Most Pic-Time customers migrate in a single evening. Galleries and watermarks port cleanly; slideshow albums and active print orders are the two things to plan around.

2–5 hours for a typical catalog (30–150 galleries)
Pic-Time → Studio → Export (per-collection ZIP)

Step-by-step migration

  1. 1

    1. Export collections from Pic-Time

    In Pic-Time, open each collection → Studio Tools → Export Originals. Download ZIPs to a local folder organized by client.

  2. 2

    2. Sign up for Chromafolio free

    Create your account, upload your logo, and pick a layout that matches Pic-Time's aesthetic (magazine or masonry work best for editorial-style delivery).

  3. 3

    3. Upload and organize

    Bulk-upload each ZIP into a new album. Set per-album covers so your gallery list mirrors the Pic-Time visual style your clients expect.

  4. 4

    4. Match your Pic-Time brand settings

    Copy watermark, color, and font settings. Chromafolio's custom branding matches Pic-Time's level of polish on every paid plan.

  5. 5

    5. Resolve print orders and slideshows

    Fulfill open print orders in Pic-Time before canceling. For slideshow albums (arriving on Chromafolio roadmap 2026), keep Pic-Time active short-term or deliver via video file.

  6. 6

    6. Redirect your domain and update clients

    Point your custom domain at Chromafolio and send clients the new URLs. We help set per-gallery 301 redirects to preserve inbound links.

Things to watch out for

  • · Pic-Time slideshow albums don't have a direct equivalent yet — Chromafolio's slideshow feature is on the 2026 roadmap.
  • · Active print orders must be fulfilled in Pic-Time first.
  • · Pic-Time's editorial aesthetic uses specific templates; Chromafolio's magazine + masonry layouts get close, but the brand feel differs subtly.
