A private place for family photos
Family photos usually end up scattered: some in a group chat, some on social media, some never shared at all. Pixchat gives a family one private group where everyday pictures live — the school run, the garden, a Sunday lunch — with reactions instead of a conversation.
What Pixchat is
Pixchat is a private photo-sharing app for friends and family. Share everyday moments in private groups with simple reactions — without the noise of a traditional chat. It is a photo-sharing app rather than a messaging app: private groups, photos as the main content, and simple emoji reactions instead of replies. Read more about Pixchat.
Who this is useful for
Parents who do not want their children's photos on social networks, grandparents who want to see the week without learning a new social app, and siblings who live in different cities.
How Pixchat solves it
- One private family group means everyone sees the same photos in one place.
- No public profiles, feeds or followers — photos are shared with the group, not the internet.
- A single emoji reaction is enough to show you saw it, which suits less tech-confident family members.
- Because photos are the main content, the group stays easy to look through later.
Getting Pixchat
Pixchat is available on Android. There is no iOS version at the moment.
Common questions
Is Pixchat a chat app?
No. Pixchat is a photo-sharing app. You share photos into private groups and people respond with simple emoji reactions instead of a message thread.
Can I share photos privately with my family?
Yes. You create a private group and add your family members. Photos shared in that group are only visible to the people in it — there is no public feed or profile.
Can I use Pixchat without having a traditional conversation?
Yes, that is the point. A photo plus an emoji reaction is a complete exchange, so nobody has to keep up with a conversation.
Is Pixchat useful for sharing holiday photos?
Yes. A trip can have its own private group where everyone adds their photos as the holiday goes on, so the pictures end up in one place instead of on separate phones.
