Share a gallery with a client

A client gallery is a private, beautiful way to hand over a shoot — separate from your public portfolio. You decide who gets in and whether they can download.

Make an album shareable

1. Open the album in Dashboard → Albums.
2. Set its access mode to Shared.
3. This hides it from your portfolio and gives it a secret, unlisted link.

Add protection (optional)

• Access code — generate a reusable code so only people with it can unlock the gallery. The link alone won’t open it.
• Lock screen — visitors see a simple unlock screen; repeated wrong attempts are rate-limited to stop guessing.

Control downloads

• Turn the downloads toggle on to let clients download hi-res originals.
• Turn it off for browse-only galleries (for proofs or previews).

Send it

1. Copy the share link, or use the built-in Email the link option.
2. Share the access code separately if you set one.

Tips

• Give paying clients clean files. Keep watermarks for public previews, not the gallery they paid for.
• Set expectations on how long it stays up. See the guide on how long to keep galleries online.
