Pictor Worker: Turn Idle GPUs into Active Revenue

“A dashboard to control. An app to compute. Pictor Worker is the engine room where idle GPUs worldwide become on-demand rendering power.”

1. A Product Purpose-Built for GPU Providers

Across the globe, millions of GPUs sit idle in gaming rigs, artists’ home PCs, studio in-house rigs, and underutilized farms. At the same time, 3D creators and AI developers are facing rising compute costs and long wait times.

Pictor Worker bridges that imbalance.

As one of the core products in the Pictor suite, Pictor Worker empowers GPU owners to seamlessly contribute their hardware to a decentralized compute grid and earn for every task completed.

The product is made up of two tightly integrated components:

  • Worker Portal: a web-based dashboard inside Pictor Cloud
  • Worker App: a desktop client that runs jobs on your machine

From individual GPU owners to large-scale GPU farms, Pictor Worker delivers the infrastructure needed to operate reliably, earn transparently, and scale efficiently.

2. How the Pictor Worker Works

Pictor Worker is designed as a two-part system where the Cloud Portal and Client App operate in sync, one as the control plane, the other as the execution layer.

  • The Worker Portal, hosted on Pictor Cloud, acts as your mission control. It’s where GPU providers create new nodes, set configurations, and monitor performance, uptime, and job history in real time.
  • The Worker App runs locally on your machine. Once paired with a config from the Portal, it connects your GPU to the network, automatically receives rendering or AI upscaling jobs, executes them, and reports results back to the system.

The relationship between the two is continuous and bidirectional: The Portal configures and visualizes. The App runs and reports.
Together, they form a complete loop, turning idle compute into live contributions with full transparency and automation.

3. Inside the Worker Portal

Hosted on cloud.pictor.network, the Worker Portal is the command center for your GPU nodes. Whether you manage one or one hundred, the dashboard keeps you in control.

Worker Management

This page provides GPU Providers with real-time access to general information about all their Workers. Users can easily see which Worker is connected to the network, is currently active, or is experiencing errors. Additionally, they can perform actions like renaming and deleting Worker nodes.

The Worker Management is the central dashboard where GPU Providers can access real-time information about all their Worker nodes. This page provides a clear overview of which Workers are connected to the network, currently active, or experiencing errors.

For those managing a large number of nodes, this page offers powerful search and sorting features, allowing you to organize Workers by criteria such as Status, Name, Create Date, and Last Update

Additionally, you can monitor key data points such as:

  • Uptime
  • GPU
  • RAM
  • Earning
  • Status
  • Actions

This page also provides access to download the Pictor Worker App, create a New Worker, and start contributing your GPU resources to the network to earn money.

Worker Details

The Worker Details page provides comprehensive, real-time details of each Worker. This page is divided into two main tabs: Statistics and Task List.

Statistics

This tab provides detailed information about your Worker, including:

  • Total Earnings
  • Uptime
  • Compute: Total computing time
  • Worker Information: ID, Last heartbeat, GPU
  • Connection Speed: Download and Upload speed
  • Location
  • Security Compliance

The page also features graphical representations of key metrics such as Earnings by Task, Processed Compute Tasks, and Earnings by Mining over various periods (weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom).

List Tasks

This tab displays detailed information about all the jobs each Worker has handled, including:

  • Job ID
  • Job Type (Software Used)
  • Status
  • Reward
  • Dates
  • Actions

Users can also search and sort tasks by various criteria such as Status, Name, and Created Date, making it easy to manage and review your Worker’s job history.

4. Inside the Worker App

The Worker App is where compute happens. Once installed, it connects to the network, receives tasks, and executes them using your GPU.

Supported Platforms:

  • Windows 11/10/8/7 (32 & 64-bit)
  • macOS & Linux (coming soon)

Core Tabs 

Computing

The Computing tab provides detailed information about the 3D rendering or AI upscaling jobs your Worker is handling, including:

  • Wallet Address
  • Job ID
  • Job Type
  • Task ID
  • Job Progress
  • Duration
  • ETA
  • Reward Estimated

Mining

The Mining tab provides information about the mining activities of your Worker, including:

  • Mining pool
  • Mining coin
  • Wallet address
  • Extra config
  • Estimated earn

Change hint type

Notes:

  • Mining is an upcoming feature.
  • Mining is only available on Workers running NVIDIA GPU(s).

Settings

The Settings tab allows you to configure your Worker’s participation in the network. The settings include:

  • Average Bid: The average bidding price across all Workers in the network, providing a benchmark for pricing your services.
  • Custom Bid: This allows you to set your own price to attract more jobs.
  • Your Bench Score: A performance score for your node, indicating its capability.
  • Estimate Earning: Estimated earnings per hour based on current configurations and market conditions.
