Choose a template
A template sets the look of a gallery: its colors, fonts, cover and the way photos are laid out. You choose one when you create a gallery, and you can switch at any time from the Template control in the editor.
The nine templates¶
| Template | Made for | Look |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding | Stories and romance | Romantic editorial |
| Love Story | Couples and engagement | Cinematic warm |
| Boudoir | Intimate and personal sessions | Intimate ambient |
| Commercial | Brands and products | Clean and precise |
| Portrait | People and families | Warm magazine |
| Reportage | Events and news | Raw documentary |
| Real estate | Interiors and spaces | Bright |
| Fine art | Author-driven work | Museum gallery |
| Newborn | Babies and maternity | Soft |
All nine are available on every plan. Osvio suggests a starting template based on the specialization you chose when you signed up.
Layouts¶
The Grid control in the editor changes how photos are arranged: Masonry, Grid, Magazine, 2 Columns or 3 Columns. Each template starts with its own default.
- Love Story also offers Editorial.
- Boudoir has a single layout, Sequence, which shows one photo at a time as the client scrolls. It can't be changed.
Templates set defaults, not limits¶
A template chooses starting values for the gallery's settings, such as whether clients can comment or download. You can change any of them in Gallery settings, within what your plan allows.
Love Story and Boudoir: extra privacy¶
Because these two genres are often personal, Osvio starts them with stricter settings:
- Screenshot protection is always on and Visitor contact details are always off.
- Link previews don't show a photo from the gallery by default.
- Face filters are off by default for Love Story. For Boudoir, face recognition is disabled and can't be turned on.
Boudoir galleries also have fixed behavior: clients can always like, download and share photos, and comments, extra services and download watermarks aren't offered.
Screenshot protection works on computers only
It covers photos when a screenshot shortcut is pressed and blocks printing. Phones can't be protected, because no browser allows it.
