Client Gallery Software Comparisons

A hub for choosing gallery software by privacy, studio branding, proofing, download controls, and the actual client handoff. This page is for photographers comparing gallery platforms before they commit to a delivery workflow.

Start with the client handoff: Start with the client journey, then compare access, brand presentation, proof states, favorites, download timing, and support load.

• Write down who can open the gallery.
• Identify whether the client is reviewing proofs or receiving finals.
• Test this failure mode: Choosing a platform because it looks polished while missing the controls that protect unfinished or sensitive images.
• Verify the needed capability: privacy-first branded galleries with studio logos, custom accents, proof watermarks, favorites, invites, and final downloads.

For client selections, review the favorites and proofing guides. For sensitive delivery, review access, invite, download, and retention controls.

Use comparison pages to document a buying decision and workflow guides to test a client handoff.

• Compare the viewer path before switching platforms.
• Turn a tested path into a studio checklist.
• Use boudoir guidance when consent and discretion change the setup.

Tell the client whether they are reviewing proofs, choosing favorites, waiting for retouching, or downloading finished files.

Framekeep studio galleries support optional PINs or invites, watermarked proof previews, favorites, final status, and one gallery-level final-download setting.

• The correct access path: an anonymous shared password, or a studio PIN or invite.
• Studio branding that carries the photographer's logo, accent color, and preferred gallery theme.
• Proof previews that are visibly separate from final files.
• A simple favorite action for client selections.
• A downloads-off proofing gallery and, when needed, the gallery's published Finals.

Use Framekeep when a focused, branded private gallery workflow matters more than an all-in-one storefront.

Create a studio test gallery, open it while signed out, and verify the exact access, proofing, favorite, and download behavior before sending client work.

• Create a test gallery before changing active client workflows.
• Preview the studio logo, accent color, and White or Dark theme before sharing.
• Verify proof and final image delivery from the viewer side.
• Keep public examples separate from private client galleries.
