How it works
Three steps to living photos
From upload to augmented reality in minutes — no special hardware, no app store.
01
🖼
Upload your trigger photo
Choose the photo you want to bring to life — a wedding portrait, event photo, poster, product image. PicAlive compiles it into an AR marker right in your browser.
02
🎬
Pair it with an overlay video
Upload the video you want to play — a moment from the day, a heartfelt message, a product demo. Add up to 20 photo-video pairs to a single project under one QR code.
03
✨
Scan & watch it come alive
Scan the project's QR code on your phone browser. Point the camera at any of the trigger photos — the matched video plays right on top, seamlessly overlaid in AR.

Features
Everything you need for WebAR
Built on MindAR — the same engine powering professional augmented reality experiences worldwide.
📷
In-browser AR compilation
Your photos are compiled into AR targets directly in your browser using MindAR's feature-point engine — no server-side processing required, no waiting in a queue.
📁
20 targets per project
One QR code covers an entire project — up to 20 different trigger photos, each paired with its own overlay video. Perfect for albums, exhibitions, and product ranges.
📱
No app download needed
Viewers scan the QR code in their phone's browser — Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. No install, no friction. Works on iOS 14+ and Android 9+.
🎯
Real image tracking
MindAR's feature-point descriptor matching keeps the video locked precisely to the photo, even as the camera angle shifts, the photo tilts, or lighting changes.
☁️
Files stored on your server
All uploaded photos, videos, and compiled AR targets are stored directly on your own server under organised per-user, per-project folder structures.
🔒
Admin controls
A full admin panel lets you view all users, their projects and uploads, and schedule or trigger account deactivations — while keeping existing QR codes live for viewers.
