Online photo proofing

Online photo proofing your clients will actually finish.

Send each client a private, protected proofing gallery. They heart their favourites and submit; you get a clean selection list — no PDFs, no spreadsheets, no "the seventh one from the left".

  • Private gallery link per client
  • Heart-to-select proofing
  • Selection deadlines & reminders
  • Screenshot protection built in

Client galleries

A private proofing gallery for every shoot.

Drag your proofs into a new gallery and ProofProtect prepares them for viewing — resized, watermarked and protected — while you get on with your day. Uploads keep running in the background, even if you navigate away.

Share one private link with everyone in the gallery. Each person signs in once with their email, so you always know who's looking, and you can revoke access whenever the job is done.

  • Unlimited galleries on every plan
  • One revocable link per gallery, never indexed by search engines
  • Email notification when a client first opens a gallery
  • Gallery hosting in regions close to your clients, including Australia

Selections

Heart to choose. Submit when done.

Clients scroll a fast, full-screen gallery and tap the heart on the photos they love — one tap to keep, one to undo. An unseen filter helps them pick up exactly where they left off.

When they're happy, they submit their picks with an optional note. You get an email and a clean list of selected files, ready to cull, edit and deliver.

  • Works on phones, tablets and desktops
  • Selections and notes arrive in one tidy list
  • Clients can come back and change their mind until they submit

Deadlines

Stop chasing clients for their picks.

Set a selection deadline on any gallery and ProofProtect reminds the client as time runs out, so the approval doesn't sit in their inbox for three weeks.

Viewing windows close automatically. Need to give someone more time? Extend a gallery in one click instead of re-uploading.

Protection

Proofs that can't be screenshotted.

Every proofing gallery has capture protection switched on: screenshots and screen recordings of a proof come back as a black frame, and each photo carries a watermark with the viewer's email and the time.

That means you can send generous previews — full-screen, sharp, every frame from the day — without worrying that the proofs become the final delivery.

For studios

Built for solo shooters and busy studios.

Wedding, portrait, family, newborn, school, sports and commercial photographers use ProofProtect to proof faster. Invite your whole team with unlimited seats, see gallery activity at a glance, and get a weekly recap of views and sales.

Larger studios and agencies can add single sign-on and an audit log on the Studio plan.

What is online photo proofing?

Online proofing is how photographers share a gallery of unedited or lightly edited images so the client can choose which ones to finalise, print or buy. ProofProtect adds screenshot protection and per-viewer watermarks so those proofs can't be kept without ordering.

How do clients choose their favourite photos?

They open the gallery link, sign in with their email, and tap the heart on each photo they want. When they're done they submit, optionally with a note, and you receive the selection list by email and in your dashboard.

Can I set a deadline for selections?

Yes. Add a selection deadline to a gallery and clients get a reminder as it approaches. You can extend a gallery's viewing window at any time.

How many galleries and team members can I have?

Unlimited galleries and unlimited team seats on every plan. Plans differ by how many images you can upload each month.

What happens to proofs after the job is finished?

Each gallery has its own retention clock: proofs and originals are cleared 30 days after the client submits, or 30 days after the viewing window closes, so old client photos don't linger on a server.
