Keep independent software independent.
Pictaria is built by one person, for people who keep their own photos. Everything is free and stays free. If it has earned a place in your home, this is the tip jar — with a badge.
Supporter
$25 one-time
A supporter key by email, a butterfly badge in your Pictaria Server's nav bar, and our genuine thanks.

Patron
$75 one-time
Everything above, in gold — the badge of someone who keeps projects like this alive.
Become a Patrontest modePayments are handled by Stripe. Your key arrives by email from support@pictaria.ai, usually within a minute. The charge may appear as "AEDR Advisors LLC", "Pictaria", or both.
The honest part
Supporting gates nothing.
No features unlock. Nothing is held back. The badge is verified entirely offline on your own server, works on every Pictaria Server you run, keeps working if pictaria.ai ever disappears, and even survives a refund. It's a thank-you, not a license — we'd rather earn your contribution than require it.
Questions
The fine print, plainly.
How do I use my key?
Open your Pictaria Server → Settings → Support Pictaria, paste
the whole PICTARIA.… string from your email, and press
Save. The badge appears immediately.
I lost my key.
Email support@pictaria.ai from the address you purchased with and we'll re-issue it.
Can I upgrade from Supporter to Patron?
Yes — email us and we'll sort out the difference. No self-serve flow yet; there's a human on the other end.
What about refunds?
Handled through Stripe, no questions asked. Your badge keeps working either way — clawing back a thank-you would be silly.
Why doesn't supporting unlock anything?
Because self-hosted software you paid to unlock is software you don't fully own. Pictaria Server stays complete for everyone; contributions fund the work, not the features.
