Settings

The settings page lets you configure your workspace defaults, posting schedule, connected accounts, team, billing, and notification preferences. Everything you need to customise Picmim to your workflow.

Workspace Settings

Customise your workspace name, default timezone, language, and other general preferences. These settings apply to the entire workspace and affect all team members.

  1. Go to Settings and select General.
  2. Update your workspace name and upload a workspace logo.
  3. Set your default timezone. All scheduling times use this timezone unless overridden.
  4. Choose your preferred language and date format.
  5. Save changes. They take effect immediately for all workspace members.
Workspace Settings

Posting Schedule

Define time windows when posts can be published. The queue uses these windows to automatically assign time slots. Set different schedules for different days of the week to match your audience's activity patterns.

  1. Go to Settings and select Posting Schedule.
  2. For each day of the week, set one or more time windows (e.g., 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM).
  3. Leave a day blank to indicate no posting on that day (e.g., weekends off).
  4. The queue automatically fills the next available slot within your configured windows.
  5. Save your schedule. It applies to all future queue additions.

Tip: Use the "Best Time to Post" data from Analytics to inform your posting schedule windows for maximum engagement.

Editor Preferences

Set default behaviours for the post editor to match your workflow. Configure auto-save intervals, default media handling, and hashtag placement.

  1. Go to Settings and select Preferences.
  2. Toggle auto-save for drafts. When enabled, Picmim saves your work every 30 seconds.
  3. Set default image quality and format preferences for uploads.
  4. Configure default hashtag placement: end of caption or first comment (Instagram only).
  5. Choose whether to show platform-specific previews by default.

Profile Settings

Manage your personal account settings including email address, password, and two-factor authentication. These settings are tied to your user account, not the workspace.

  1. Go to Settings and select Profile.
  2. Update your display name and profile picture.
  3. Change your email address. A verification email will be sent to confirm.
  4. Update your password. Choose a strong password with at least 12 characters.
  5. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security using an authenticator app.

Warning: If you enable 2FA, store your recovery codes in a safe place. Losing both your authenticator and recovery codes will lock you out of your account.

API Token Management

Create API tokens to integrate Picmim with external tools and services. Each token has specific permissions and can be revoked independently without affecting other tokens or your login.

  1. Go to Settings and select API Tokens.
  2. Click "Create Token" and give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Zapier Integration").
  3. Select the permissions this token should have: read, write, or full access.
  4. Copy the token value immediately. It is shown only once for security.
  5. Revoke tokens you no longer need by clicking "Delete" next to the token.

Warning: Treat API tokens like passwords. Never commit them to version control or share them publicly.

Timezone Settings

Set your workspace timezone for scheduling, calendar display, and analytics. Each connected account can optionally have its own timezone for accurate cross-timezone publishing.

  1. The workspace timezone is set in Settings > General and applies to all scheduling.
  2. Override the timezone for specific social accounts in Settings > Connected Accounts.
  3. The calendar can display times in any timezone using the timezone selector.
  4. Daylight saving time adjustments are handled automatically.
  5. Scheduled posts always publish at the correct local time for the target platform.

Language Preferences

Choose the interface language for your Picmim workspace. Language preferences affect the UI, notifications, and email communications.

  1. Go to Settings > General and select Language.
  2. Choose from available languages: English, Slovenian, and more.
  3. The UI updates immediately after saving.
  4. Team members can set their own language preference independently.
  5. If a translation is missing for a specific string, English is used as the fallback.

Data Export

Export your workspace data including post history, media files, and analytics. This is useful for backups, migration, or reporting to clients.

  1. Go to Settings and select Data Export.
  2. Choose what to include: posts, media, analytics, or all data.
  3. Select the date range for the export.
  4. Click "Generate Export". Picmim prepares a downloadable archive.
  5. You receive a notification when the export is ready. Large exports may take several minutes.

Tip: Schedule regular data exports to maintain a backup of your content and analytics outside of Picmim.
