If you're uploading large quantities of images for proofing, doing so through the native uploader in WordPress can become tedious and slow.

This is why picu Pro lets you import image files directly from a directory on your server as well.

When you sell images with picu, you can choose between two pricing types, Single Images or Package Pricing.

But this is only the start and we plan to add more!

Q: If you had one wish, what pricing models would you want to use most, when selling images to your clients?
