Originals untouched
Your original is preserved bit for bit and always available for download – we change nothing.
Automatic web versions
Web-optimised previews in several sizes are generated automatically in the background – your gallery loads fast, on mobile too.

02
Proofing & feedback
Every reaction is attached to the image, not buried in an email thread.
„This is our favourite!“

Star rating
Five stars like on a light table: rate, filter, export – for you and your clients.
Colour labels
Five colours for yes, no, maybe and everything in between – per image and per person, with keyboard shortcuts.
Likes & comments
A heart for the favourite, plus wishes and notes right on the photo with name and timestamp – as familiar as social media, nothing gets lost in your inbox anymore.
Drawings on images
Circle it instead of describing it: retouching requests are drawn straight onto the image.
Pick & Reject
Quick yes/no pre-selection with one click or the P and X keys, ideal for a first pass before detailed rating.
Selection sets
Album, prints, social media – clients collect favourites in sets, and you export them with one click.
Live breakdown
Every reaction per image and per link in one overview – sortable, filterable, exportable. The consensus filter shows what everyone agrees on.
Approval stamp
Clients approve images bindingly – with name and timestamp, visible in the breakdown and in the CSV export. The documented sign-off for agency workflows.
Image versions with before/after
Upload the retouched version onto the same image: all feedback is preserved, and everyone compares before and after with the slider right in the image.
Your private marks
Your own stars, flags and ticks that only you see – mark your pre-selection before the client sees it.
Keyboard shortcuts
Rate with 1–5, colours on the number keys, arrow keys to page through – work an entire shoot like a lightbox, with the shortcut cheatsheet always one keypress away.
Filters in the client gallery
One click and only your own selection, the likes, one colour or everything from four stars up remains – 800 photos become the 20 that are still being discussed.
03
Share & present
One link, your rules, no client login.
No client account
One link is enough. Your clients need neither an account nor an app, and there are no “forgot password” emails.
Secure links
Random, practically unguessable addresses – can be deactivated at any time, several links per gallery, each with its own state.
Password & expiry date
Protect galleries with a password and let links expire automatically – full control over access.
Invitation by email
Send the link straight from the gallery: with a personal greeting, the password and your branding in the email. It only goes out when you press “Invite”.
Collaboration mode
The work mode for proofing: compact grid, all feedback tools, real-time status for you.
Presentation mode
The stage mode for the handover: a large, calm gallery with your branding – to view and enjoy.
Design direction right on the gallery
6 cover layouts including Editorial, 3 grids, 7 mouseover effects, 29 fonts and continuously adjustable image spacing – set directly on the finished page, in every plan.
Selection filters for the handover
Show only your final selection in the Presentation link: filtered by stars, colour label or picks.
Single-image links
Every image can get its own public link – perfect for quickly aligning on individual shots.
Multilingual client gallery
Your clients see the gallery in their language – detected automatically, in 20 languages.
Automatic slideshow
Play the gallery as a slideshow: adjustable pace, progress indicator and fullscreen – start and pause at the touch of a button or with the spacebar.
Focus & fullscreen mode
A large fullscreen view and a distraction-free focus mode that hides everything but the image – for calm viewing, with no menus in the way.

Selection package & deadline
Define per link how many images the package holds: visible counter, your price note for extra selections. And we automatically remind your clients of the selection deadline.
Download statistics & last access
You see per link when the gallery was last opened and who downloaded what – single images, zips, data volumes, timestamps.
Large downloads in the background
Even an archive of many gigabytes keeps nobody waiting: it is packed in the background, and if you like, an email arrives as soon as it is ready to download.
05
Brand, team & business
Your signature, your team, your data.
Custom branding
Your logo and your accent colour in every gallery – your clients see your brand, not ours.

Model release / digital consent
Store your release text on the gallery: guests confirm it by name before they see the images – documented with wording and timestamp, printable as proof.
13 currencies & bank transfer
If you wish, your billing runs in one of 13 currencies – online via Stripe or the classic way, by bank transfer against invoice (in euros).
Refer friends: 1 free month per referral
For every successful referral you both get a free month – yours comes back every year, as long as the referred account remains a paying customer.
GDPR & servers in DE/EU
Private storage on European infrastructure. Galleries open only with a valid link, and originals and downloads are released by the server only after a check.
No AI analysis
Your images don't train models and aren't scanned – guaranteed.
