shoots.page
shoots.page skips the storefront and studio suite completely. You sign in with Google, upload a shoot, and send one link (or email it from the app). Clients view 2000 px previews and download single files or a ZIP without an account or app, and they never pay the platform.
Both plans accept JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP and RAW files up to 1 GiB and 100 megapixels, with resumable uploads and byte-for-byte originals. Only uploaded originals count against storage, not previews, thumbnails or ZIPs. Per gallery, you get switches for originals, 2000 px JPEGs and RAWs, an optional password and expiry date, and proofing with a max-picks limit, optional priced extras and filename copying for Lightroom's filter. You also get open and download emails plus per-photo stats.
The free plan includes 2 GB, unlimited galleries, the Classic design, and a small footer link and logo. Pro is USD 9 a month or USD 90 a year (EUR 8 or EUR 80 in Europe) for 100 GB, 4 extra designs (Heirloom, Noir, Scrapbook, Postcard) and no branding. It suits photographers who want clean delivery, proofing and RAW support without studio bloat.
Pixieset
Pixieset bundles Client Gallery with a print Store, Website builder, Mobile Gallery App, and Studio Manager for contracts, e-signatures, invoices and booking. The free plan gives you 3 GB, unlimited galleries, 3 mobile apps, 15 website pages and 3 contracts, but gallery downloads are resized and store sales take a 15% commission before taxes and shipping.
Paid Client Gallery plans remove commissions and unlock originals: Basic is $8 a month billed yearly ($10 monthly) for 10 GB and 30 minutes of HD video, Plus is $16 ($20) for 100 GB and 1 hour of video, Pro is $24 ($30) for 1,000 GB and 2 hours of 4K video, and Ultimate is $40 ($50) for unlimited storage and 5 hours of 4K video. RAW files up to 100 MB require Pro or Ultimate. The Suite runs $28 to $55 a month billed yearly, and Studio plans run $48 to $96 for 2 TB to 10 TB. It suits photographers who want an all-in-one website, print store and CRM.
Pic-Time
Pic-Time connects galleries to print sales across 30+ labs and marketing tools. Its free tier starts at 10 GB and drops to 3 GB. Paid plans start at $7 a month billed yearly ($8 monthly) for 20 GB on Beginner and go up to $42 ($50) for unlimited storage under fair use on Advanced.
Uploads are limited to JPEG and GIF up to 100 MB, so PNGs and RAWs can't be uploaded. While guests can view a link, the main client needs an account, and client selections and the JPEG optimizer are only on Professional and Advanced. It suits photographers focused on automated print sales.
ShootProof
ShootProof pairs galleries with contracts, invoices and commission-free lab print sales on every tier. The free plan holds 100 photos with no video, while paid plans go from $8.33 a month billed yearly ($9.99 monthly) for 20 GB on Starter up to $50 ($60) for unlimited photos on Premium.
It only accepts sRGB JPEGs up to 50 MB and 100 megapixels. Clients don't need an account to view, but they must enter an email address before favoriting or downloading their original files. It suits JPEG shooters who want commission-free print fulfillment and contracts next to their galleries.
SendPhoto
SendPhoto focuses on file delivery with watermarks, video and custom domains rather than print sales. The free plan gives you 5 GB of storage, but caps you at one gallery and 10 GB of lifetime upload credits. Paid plans run from $30 a year ($3 monthly) for 20 GB on Starter up to $320 a year ($32 monthly) for 1 TB on Pro.
It supports RAW, HEIC, TIFF and PSD files up to 1 GiB per photo, and lets you set original or scaled-down downloads per gallery with client likes and favorites. It suits photographers who want basic delivery with watermarks and large file support on a yearly budget.
SmugMug
SmugMug combines a portfolio website, photo archive and print store, with no free plan beyond a 14-day trial. Paid plans start at $20 a month billed yearly ($29 monthly) on Direct and reach $37 a month ($52 monthly) on Pro.
Every plan includes unlimited full-resolution JPEG storage, and clients can open public, unlisted or password galleries without an account. However, storing RAW files costs extra through the Source add-on, print sales are only on Portfolio and Pro, and client favoriting requires the $37 Pro tier. It suits photographers looking for unlimited JPEG archiving and a portfolio site.
FAQ
Can I deliver original and RAW files on a free plan?
Yes, shoots.page lets you upload and deliver byte-for-byte originals and RAW files up to 1 GiB on its free 2 GB plan. Pixieset's free 3 GB plan only gives clients resized downloads and locks RAW support to its $24 a month Pro plan.
How much does 100 GB of client gallery storage cost?
On shoots.page, 100 GB costs USD 9 a month or USD 90 a year (EUR 8 a month or EUR 80 a year in Europe). The same 100 GB on Pixieset's Plus plan costs $16 a month billed yearly ($192 a year) or $20 billed monthly.
Do clients need to create an account to download photos or pick favorites?
On shoots.page, clients never need an account, a password (unless you set one) or an email address to view, favorite or download photos. Pic-Time requires an account for the main client, and ShootProof asks for an email address before downloading or favoriting.
Which platforms charge a commission on client orders?
shoots.page has no print store and takes zero commission on paid proofing extras, since your client pays you directly. Pixieset charges a 15% commission on its free plan, and Pic-Time takes a commission on your markup on lower tiers.
