Most photographers deliver photos the way people send files in 2012.
Google Drive links
They expire. Clients can't find them. The download experience is embarrassing compared to the quality of your work.
WhatsApp feedback loops
You deliver 300 photos. The client says 'I like the ones with the trees.' You spend 45 minutes figuring out which ones.
Platforms that take a cut
You deliver the work. You invoice the client. Then a third platform takes 15% of that invoice for hosting the gallery. That's not a partnership.
You already edited the photos.
The delivery should take 3 minutes.
Upload your edited photos, set your access settings, copy the link, and send it. That's the whole process. Everything else — reminders, proofing, notifications, branding — runs automatically.
Every tool a working photographer actually needs.
Draft Mode
Publish when you're ready. Not a second earlier.
Create a gallery and upload while you're still culling. The client gets the link but sees a 'Gallery being prepared' screen until you flip it live. No half-finished deliveries, no accidental early access.
Client Favourites
Stop guessing which photos they love.
Clients browse the gallery and tap the heart on every shot they want to keep. When they submit, you get an email: 'Sarah selected 47 photos from Smith Wedding.' No spreadsheets. No numbered lists on WhatsApp.
Payment Confirmation
Deliver the gallery when the invoice is settled.
Set the gallery to require payment confirmation. Your client sees your bank details and payment instructions. Once they've paid and you've confirmed it, one click unlocks the gallery. They get a notification. You keep 100% of the invoice.
Access Control
Decide exactly who can open the gallery.
Public link, PIN-protected, email-list only, or Optimage account required. Switch between them any time. PINs are hashed — not stored in plain text. No brute-force vulnerabilities.
Photographer Branding
Your studio name on every gallery page.
Set your studio name, brand colour, and website URL in settings. The gallery footer shows your brand — not ours. The 'Powered by Optimage' credit stays small. Your clients remember your name.
Activity Tracking
See who's opened the gallery and when.
Every gallery view is logged with a timestamp. You'll know when your client first opened it, how many times they've been back, and who submitted favourites. Stop wondering if they got the link.
From upload to client in under 5 minutes.
Create
Open your dashboard, create a new gallery, set the title and access type. Takes 30 seconds.
Upload
Drag in your edited JPEGs or WebPs. We store them in your private Cloudinary folder. Originals preserved.
Send
Click 'Send to client', enter their email. They get a branded delivery email with the gallery link.
Deliver
Toggle the gallery live when you're ready. Client views, picks favourites, downloads. You get notified at every step.
Everything in one subscription. No surprises.
Gallery delivery is included in every Optimage subscription — the same subscription that handles your image compression, format conversion, and video transcription. You're not paying per gallery, per client, or per photo delivered. One flat rate. Everything included.
