Why download settings matter in boudoir
One Framekeep setting controls individual downloads and the ZIP archive for published final assets in a gallery.
Final status is the per-asset download boundary; proofs remain unavailable for download.
Boudoir Gallery Download Settings (Proofs vs Finals)
Configure Framekeep's gallery-level final-download setting for separate proofing and final-delivery galleries.

Create a Framekeep studioThe simplest rule: proofs are for choosing, finals are for keeping
Use proofs for selection and delivered finals for saving.
When proofs must remain unavailable, mark only intended deliverables Final before enabling downloads; proof assets stay excluded.
- Proofing gallery: final-only downloads disabled, favorites enabled.
- Published Finals: selected, retouched images only, with final-only downloads enabled.
- Sharing: invite-based and revocable when possible.
- Clarity: label the sets as Proofs vs Finals everywhere.
Avoid accidental sharing (without making the experience awkward)
A viewer can forward a valid access method or capture the screen. Final-only downloads only control Framekeep's direct file and ZIP actions.
Use direct language: "Proofs are for selection" and "Retouched files are marked Final for delivery."
What to do if a client asks to download proofs
Some clients ask because they want reassurance or they are excited. If downloading proofs is not part of your deliverable, you can say yes to the need without saying yes to the request.
Offer a small preview set of retouched images, or explain that downloadable files are delivered after favorites and retouching so quality stays consistent.
Make final delivery explicit
Verify that the published Finals contain every intended deliverable before enabling final-only downloads.
Deliver a short note with the finals: what is included, where to click, and how long access lasts.
- Clean filenames and sets so clients do not download the wrong images.
- One clear call-to-action: download finals.
- A retention window that is stated up front.
- Optional partner viewing enabled later, not by default.
Pair download settings with watermarking (only if needed)
Disabling final-only downloads removes Framekeep's individual and ZIP download actions. It does not prevent screen capture.
A watermark can label a preview as a proof. Test its readability and deliver clean files separately.
How to connect download controls to consent and privacy
Download settings are part of your consent promise. Clients should know who can access the gallery, what can be downloaded, and how sharing works.
State the selected access method, final-download state, screenshot limit, invite expiry, and gallery-retention policy.
Examples
- Proofs delivered privately with favorites enabled and final-only downloads disabled, followed by the gallery's published Finals.
- A short delivery note: "Proofs are for selection. Retouched files are marked Final for delivery."
- Partner viewing enabled by a separate invite after the client requests it, not on day one.
FAQ

How do I explain downloads to clients without sounding strict?
State the workflow directly: "Proofs are for choosing. Retouched files are marked Final for delivery."
Which download-setting error should a studio check?
Marking unfinished proofs Final. Gallery downloads include published Final assets only, so verify final status before delivery.
