PicCents pays everyday people to capture real-world objects around them. If you can take a photo, you can do this. SNAP. UPLOAD. GET PAID. 1. Snap: take a clear photo of something around you (a mug, a lamp, a chair), not a screen or another photo. iPhones with LiDAR need one photo; others take two, from two sides. 2. Upload: give its size, weight and material, with a photo that proves the size (your iPhone can measure it, or use a ruler) and the weight (a scale or its label). 3. Get paid: a reviewer checks each object, and every approved object puts money in your wallet. REAL PAYOUTS. NOT POINTS. • Each approved object earns a set amount, shown in the app. • Watch your wallet fill up toward payday, then cash out to a digital gift card sent to your email. • See every object you've sent and whether it was approved. MAKE IT A HABIT • Levels, a daily streak and a daily goal keep you going. • Full 3D capture is coming soon. No special equipment, no photography experience and no commute: just your phone and the everyday things around you. Free to join. Every object is reviewed before approval. Not every object will be approved, and objects that aren't approved don't count toward payouts. We sometimes have enough of a kind of object; the app shows which, and those are unlikely to be approved. PicCents is by Byrst. Your PicCents account and earnings carry over to this version.
