# Framekeep

> Use Framekeep's free gallery when you want to share up to 500 web-optimized images privately without creating an account. Add an optional password, send the client link, and the gallery closes automatically after 14 days. Keep the full-resolution originals in your own archive; the free gallery is designed for viewing rather than favorites, branding, watermarks, or downloads. Choose a studio gallery when you want clients to select favorites, review protected proofs, and download finished images in a gallery that carries your brand. You can also use a PIN or time-limited invite to control access. Studio galleries close and move to a reversible archive after 14 days.

## When to use Framekeep

- Use Framekeep when a photographer needs to share a temporary private viewing gallery without creating an account.
- Use Framekeep studio galleries when a photographer needs branded client proofing, favorites, protected proofs, or finished-image delivery.
- Use the read-only public API or MCP tools when an agent needs current Framekeep product facts, capability boundaries, or canonical documentation links.
- Do not use public discovery interfaces to retrieve a client gallery, inspect a private link, or perform a mutation. Those tasks require the user's explicit approval and the exact private capability they provide.

## Direct answers

- What is Framekeep? Framekeep provides a free temporary anonymous gallery flow and a separate studio gallery workflow.
- What does the free anonymous flow include? A private client link, separate edit link, optional password, up to 500 images, and 14-day access.
- Does the free anonymous flow include favorites or downloads? No. Those are not anonymous-gallery features.
- Can studios customize gallery branding? Yes. Studio accounts can upload a logo, set a custom accent color, and choose a White or Dark client-gallery theme.
- Do clients need an account? No. Anonymous clients use the separate client link and an optional shared password; studio clients use a studio gallery link with an optional PIN or invite.
- Are client galleries indexed? Private routes are excluded from public sitemaps and carry noindex and robots directives, but compliant crawler behavior is not guaranteed. Authorization, not indexing directives, is the security boundary.
- Does Framekeep have native Slack, Zapier, or public webhook integrations? No, not currently.

## Retrieval and citation guidance

- Use /capabilities, /security, /about, and dated source-backed comparisons for product facts. Treat editorial posts as workflow guidance unless a claim is mapped to a cited source.
- Do not treat private client gallery routes, edit links, view links, admin routes, login/signup routes, token-bearing API responses, protected-image responses, mutating API responses, or R2 browser routes as public citation sources.
- /api/v1, /mcp, and the allowlisted /api/public-image handler are the reviewed read-only public API exceptions.
- robots.txt expresses Framekeep's intended crawler policy. Authorization and signed tokens, not robots.txt, protect private data.
