Delivery matters

The shoot ends. The experience shouldn't.

You spend enormous effort creating an experience before and during a shoot, the planning, the direction, the moments you know how to find. Delivery deserves that same care. It's the last thing a client remembers.

Their photographs. Your brand.

Your gallery is ready. Take your time.

The cover carries your studio's name and the client's own title, in the theme you chose for your gallery. There's no folder browser, no generic viewer, no sign of another company anywhere in it.

Favourites & proofing

No more "I like DSC_4837."

Clients pick their favourites right inside the gallery. You see exactly which photographs they chose. Nobody has to describe a photo by its filename again.

Client views the gallery

Browsing on a laptop, a phone, or both.

Taps ♥ on their favourites

Picks save the moment they're made.

You see their selections

A live pick count, filterable to just their favourites.

Clients can rate photos too and leave a comment on any individual image. When they're done picking, one tap sends you the finished list.
Both sides

Beautiful for them. Useful for you.

A gallery isn't only a pretty page you send once. It stays connected to how you actually run the delivery.

Project connection

A gallery that already knows the client.

A StudioFolio gallery isn't an isolated link floating around in another service. It belongs to a project. That project belongs to a client. The relationship holds from the first inquiry through to delivery.

Storage

Your gallery doesn't need another storage subscription.

Google Drive Dropbox OneDrive StudioFolio

Your storage holds the files. StudioFolio creates the client experience around them.

Don't want to manage your own storage?

StudioFolio Cloud is a separate managed option. Upload photos straight from your device and StudioFolio hosts them for you.

Performance

Built for photographs, not attachments.

A gallery of hundreds of full-resolution photos shouldn't feel like waiting for hundreds of attachments to load.

Responsive previews

Browsing loads fast, right-sized previews instead of full-resolution files.

Originals only when needed

The full-resolution file is fetched when a client downloads it, not while they're just browsing.

Your storage keeps the originals

Nothing is duplicated. StudioFolio streams what it needs, when it needs it.

The mobile experience

Because clients will open it on their phone.

Frequently asked

Questions about client galleries.

What is a client gallery for photographers?

A client gallery is a private, branded space where clients view the photographs from their shoot, pick their favourites and, if you allow it, download them. It replaces a folder of exported files with something that feels like part of your studio.

How do photography clients access their gallery?

You share one link. Depending on how you set access, clients open it straight away, enter a PIN you give them, or verify their email if you've made the gallery invite-only.

Do clients need a StudioFolio account?

No. Clients never create a StudioFolio account to view a gallery. An invite-only gallery asks them to verify their email address. There's no password to set and nothing to sign up for.

Can clients select their favourite photographs?

Yes. Clients tap a heart on any photo to favourite it and can rate photos too. Their picks save automatically and sync back if they open the gallery again later, even on a different device once they verify their email.

Can clients download their photographs?

Only if you turn downloads on for that gallery. When you do, clients can download their favourites or the whole gallery as one ZIP, at full resolution or the same web-size preview they browsed, whichever you choose.

Where are gallery photographs stored?

In your own cloud storage, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive by default. StudioFolio streams the photographs from your connected account through short-lived signed links rather than copying them. If you'd rather not manage your own storage, StudioFolio Cloud is a separate managed option where StudioFolio hosts the files for you.

Can I use Google Drive for a photography client gallery?

Yes. Connect your Google Drive account, pick a folder and StudioFolio turns it into a gallery. Dropbox and OneDrive work the same way.

Does StudioFolio support photo proofing?

Yes. Clients favourite and rate photographs, leave comments on individual images and tell you when they're finished. You see their picks update live and can filter the gallery down to exactly what they chose.

Do StudioFolio galleries work on mobile?

Yes. Galleries are built to be opened on a phone. Clients can browse, favourite and download from mobile just as easily as on a desktop.

Are client galleries included in StudioFolio Free?

Yes. Galleries and clients are unlimited on every StudioFolio plan, including Free. See the full free-plan breakdown.
