Everything your photo delivery workflow needs — bulk upload, watermarked proofs, shortlinks with QR codes, and a client gallery experience that reflects your brand.
Three steps. No friction. Your client sees a professional gallery experience every time.


© STUDIO

© STUDIOEvery gallery has a name, client, date, tags, and keywords — so both you and your client can find anything instantly.
Drop your entire shoot at once. JPEGs, RAW files, and PDFs are all accepted. The platform handles the rest.
Every photo gets a thumbnail generated by the background process queue — no manual work, no waiting around.
Clients click any thumbnail to view the full-size image in an elegant lightbox — clean, distraction-free presentation.
Search by gallery name, tags, or keywords. Both your team and your clients can find galleries without scrolling through everything.
Deliver RAW files, PSDs, and JPEGs together in the same gallery. PSDs get browsable thumbnails automatically — clients see every file, not just a download link.
Need to add selects after the initial upload? Add photos to any gallery at any time.
Build a photo licence from your company details and usage options, then save it so it travels with every gallery download.
Photos are automatically tagged and categorized using AI vision — organized and searchable without any manual effort. Find any photo by content, not just by name.
Upload your logo once — watermarks are applied automatically and scaled to match each image.
Upload a watermark file and every image in the gallery gets watermarked automatically via the background queue — no manual work per photo.
Choose where the watermark sits: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right. Set it once per gallery.
The watermark scales relative to each image's dimensions — it looks right on a landscape panorama and a portrait headshot alike.
Create expiring, password-protected gallery links in seconds. Every link gets a downloadable QR code.
Set an expiry of 30, 60, 90, or 120 days — or 1 year, or never. Links go dead automatically on schedule.
Add a password to any shortlink for an extra layer of access control. Viewers enter it once before seeing the gallery.
Every shortlink generates a QR code you can download and include in print deliverables, emails, or cards.
Copy any shortlink to your clipboard with a single click — no selecting, no highlighting.
Create as many shortlinks as you need for a single gallery — different expiry dates, different passwords, different download settings.
Clients can create their own public shortlinks to share their gallery — useful when your client wants to share proofs with their own stakeholders.
Every permission is a toggle. Change it any time without touching the gallery itself.
Galleries are invisible to clients until you publish them. Unpublish any time — the gallery disappears from their view without deleting anything.
Block right-click on gallery images to prevent casual save-as downloads. A simple toggle per gallery.
Enable or disable downloads per gallery — and set separately per shortlink. Proof-only galleries stay proof-only.
Automatically write copyright, artist, and caption details into every JPEG and TIFF you deliver. Your ownership and credit travel inside the file — even after a client downloads and shares it. Use {year} and {company} tokens, and the gallery name fills the caption automatically.
Upload your licence terms once. Clients view them in a click on any gallery, and your photo licence is bundled right into every ZIP download.
Clients mark their favorites and leave per-photo comments right inside the gallery. Your studio sees everything in one place.
A heart icon appears on hover for every photo. Clients click to star the shots they love — stars persist across sessions and are tracked per user.
Clicking any photo opens a comment panel pinned to that image. Clients leave feedback in context — no guessing which shot "the third one from the left" refers to.
Your team replies to client comments from the admin proofing tab. Replies appear in the same thread — client and studio in one conversation per photo.
The admin proofing tab shows star counts and comment counts across every photo in the gallery — see which shots got the most love at a glance.
A branded portal where clients find every gallery you've delivered — no clutter, no endless links, just their work under your name.
The client portal is completely customizable to match your brand — your logo, your color, on your own you.framecourier.com address. Clients see your studio every step of the way.
No more sending a fresh link for every shoot. Clients log in once and every gallery you've delivered is right there, in one place.
Set a custom cover image — uploaded or picked from the gallery — and a welcome message shown at the top of every gallery, so clients see your brand before the first photo.
Clients see all published galleries in a clean thumbnail grid. Click any to open and browse the full shoot.
Clicking a thumbnail opens the full-size image in a lightbox — keyboard and click navigation through the entire gallery.
Clients can download an entire gallery as a single ZIP with one click. Large galleries are queued and the client is emailed a download link when ready.
Clients star favorite shots and leave per-photo comments without leaving the gallery — proofing built into the viewing experience.
Drop a marketing file — a rate card, a promo PDF, a thank-you note — into your gallery ZIPs. It rides along with every download automatically.
Clients can embed galleries directly on their own site with a copy-paste <iframe> snippet — no coding required. Perfect for portfolio sites, wedding galleries, or client showcases.
Pixieset and Pic-Time make beautiful galleries. But they stop there. FrameCourier keeps going.
Your clients ask for video delivery one day — and suddenly you need a second platform. Only FrameCourier gives you professional video review with timestamped comments and revision rounds, built right in. No second subscription, no learning curve.
ShootProof charges by photo count. Frame.io charges per seat. Others gate features behind tiers. FrameCourier gives you unlimited team members, unlimited clients, and every feature on every plan — including the free one.
QR codes on every gallery. Embedded copyright in every JPEG you deliver. A licence builder and contract generator your clients see in one click. A fully branded client portal on your own subdomain. And the ability to bundle marketing materials into every ZIP download. None of Pixieset, Pic-Time, or ShootProof offer all of this.
Pixieset, Pic-Time, and ShootProof are great for photos but have no video review. Frame.io is video-only. FrameCourier is the only platform that does both — without seat fees or feature gates.
