Create your first gallery

Creating a gallery takes a few minutes: name it, upload your photos, and share the link. This walkthrough takes you through the whole path once. The Galleries section covers each step in more detail.

Steps

1. Open Galleries and select New gallery. If you haven't created one yet, select Create your first gallery.
2. Enter a Gallery title. This is the only required field. Optionally set a Shoot date.
3. Choose a Template. Select More to see all of them. Your defaults for the template are applied automatically.
4. Select Create. The gallery opens in the editor.
5. Add photos. Drag them onto the page or select Choose files. You can also upload a ZIP of photos.
6. Watch the status at the top of the editor. It shows Uploading... and Processing... while photos are prepared. When it shows Ready for client, the photos are ready to view. Fully ready appears when all processing has finished.
7. Adjust how the gallery looks with the Template, Accent, Cover and Grid controls.
8. Open Gallery Settings to decide who can see the gallery and what they can do: password, availability, downloads and more.
9. Select Open for client to preview the gallery the way your client will see it.
10. Share it. Select Share to copy the gallery link, or to open a Telegram, WhatsApp or email message with the link in it.

You can share the gallery as soon as the editor says Ready for client. Fully ready appears later, once the remaining background work, such as the AI analysis, has finished too.

Faster start

You can also create a gallery by dragging photos or a ZIP straight onto the Galleries page: the drop zone says "Drop to create a gallery". Drop onto a template to start with it.

What your client sees

Your client opens the link and can browse the photos, mark favorites and, if you allow it, download them. See Client experience.

Good to know

• A new gallery's availability follows your plan. On the Free plan, galleries expire after 30 days. Paid plans let you choose how long a gallery stays available.
