Picfair Reviews

This item was made by shady characters connected to Igniter100 and solmax, who unethically swindled £7500 from me. I highly recommend steering clear of these untrustworthy people!

Picfair is nothing but a complete scam! I've uploaded 3000 photos to their site and after 18 months, not one sale to speak of. On the flip side, I've managed to sell plenty of photos on other platforms without any hassle. It feels like Picfair is just out to rake in cash from subscriptions, which makes you wonder what they're really up to. Honestly, if I could, I'd give them a big fat zero!

At first, I thought this idea was pretty interesting. I uploaded some photos and then totally lost track of it. Out of the blue, I saw a $90 charge on my credit card, even though I never signed up for a yearly plan. When I contacted them to cancel my subscription and asked for my money back, they told me refunds weren't an option. Can you believe that? I haven't even touched this app in the last two years!

I've managed to make a handful of sales, which is actually better than a lot of the feedback I've seen here, given the 1752 reviews and 89 images I possess.

I forked out for the premium service, but sadly, it’s never gonna pay for itself. What really gets under my skin, though, is their ban on using AI images. I only utilized AI for the foreground and mixed in my own photo, which was part of an AI-created gem.

This piece is still my creation, and it’s just not right for them to control what I can or can’t sell in my shop, especially after I’ve shelled out for it! I get that there’s a need for moderation (which takes ages!) to sift through images that break the law, but as the creator, I ought to have the liberty to choose what I sell, particularly when I’m paying for their services!

The platform works well, but you gotta put in some effort to promote yourself. I racked up more than 300,000 views, but only made 6 sales. Maybe my stuff just ain't what buyers are looking for these days.

I signed up for Picfair hoping to sell some of my photos. But after a whole year and uploading more than 8000 images, I didn’t make a single sale. I managed to cancel my subscription without any renewal charges. But, in a moment of weakness, I thought I’d give it another go, thinking maybe my descriptions were the problem. Sadly, the site is super hard to navigate, and the customer support is pretty useless. Even logging in is a pain since it often doesn’t recognize my username or password. To sum it up, it’s fair to say that Picfair feels like a scam.

The design is great and it acts as a space to show off my pictures. Still, I haven't made a single sale in the five or six years my images have been up. They recommended I upgrade to PicFair plus, but I said I'd only consider it after making enough to pay for it. Sadly, since none of my pictures have sold, it looks pretty doubtful that I'll manage that. I'm beginning to side with other reviews that suggest it could be a scam.

I gotta say, my experience with Picfair was a total letdown. I had been part of this platform for a couple of years, boasting around 1600 images and over 150,000 views. But aside from one sale I managed through social media, it’s been pretty disappointing, to put it mildly. This isn’t really a stock photography site, so don’t fall for the marketing. It’s more like a spot to upload your photos, and you’re left to do all the selling yourself while also paying Picfair for the service. The way the top stock sites operate is totally different. You upload your work, they handle the sales, and then they cut you a check (even if it’s just a small slice). But with Picfair, you’re just renting space, and you’ve got to hustle for your own sales. Honestly, you might as well create your own website. That’s why I recently decided to cancel my subscription, which was about to auto-renew on September 23. Even that process wasn’t as easy as it should’ve been. If you’re looking to sell stock images, I’d recommend sticking with the big names. And if fine art prints are your thing, think about other options before jumping in, since you’ll still need to market your work. So, just a heads up for anyone considering this platform.

It seems to me that no one is really making purchases on this site, just like a bunch of other folks have said. Even though they have low prices and a heap of 'stars' from Picfair, sales are nowhere to be found. To top it off, they went ahead and renewed my subscription automatically without giving me a heads-up. I really tried to give it a fair shot for a couple of years, so it’s not like I didn’t put in the effort. My suggestion? Save your cash and steer clear of this place.

A couple of years back, I joined Picfair at the basic free tier. Even though I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on my images, I still haven't sold a single one. With more than 42 thousand views on my shots, it feels like moving up to PicFair Plus wouldn't be a good idea. This makes me think there’s either no interest in the kind of photos I create or that folks who want prints of my nature shots just aren’t using this site. Maybe I’m just not cut out to be a great photographer, but I really wish they hadn’t given my work such high praise if that’s the case.

Picfair is nothing but a scam and really ought to be flagged. To start, they say you can have a free account with up to 20 images, but I only had 6 and still couldn't upload more. On top of that, when I removed pictures from my store, they didn’t really go away; instead, they were just there for me to buy. I'm completely done with these con artists.

I've spent a year in this place, and not one sale has come my way.

I shared 12 months' worth of close to 1,000 images, each tagged at a pound. Even though a handful of my pics got some Stars from Picfair, it really didn’t mean much in the end. With over 12,000 views racked up, I still couldn’t score a single sale. Meanwhile, Picfair pocketed £80 from my subscription, while I walked away with nothing - pretty smart on their end, huh? ;)

The interface is quite user-friendly, yet the results are pretty underwhelming. I've got a stash of over 4000 images ready for viewing, though not all of 'em are sellable. With more than 500,000 views, you'd think a few sales would come my way. But so far, I've only scored one digital download sale. It feels like the platform is more about pushing subscriptions than actually helping with sales to others. They expect you to handle the marketing of your work on sites like Facebook or Twitter, which might not work for everyone. Still, I'm gonna stay optimistic until my next subscription rolls around. After that, I’ll really think about whether the free version can do the job.

They were great at first, but then unauthorized charges began popping up. They try to use sneaky methods to trap you.
