A gallery for photographers where clients pick photos in minutes
Send your client one link and they tag their favourite shots — no install, no login. You get a ready selection list instead of fishing numbers out of emails.
A folder on a drive is not a gallery
Most photographers hand over photos however it falls out: a zipped email attachment, a WeTransfer link, a shared cloud folder. The files arrive — but that is where these tools stop. All the work of choosing then lands on the client and on you.
The client has to download the photos, browse them in a file explorer and write down the numbers they like. You receive that as messages like “I want 4, 19 and the one by the window" and guess which shot they mean. A dozen-email thread follows, and the decision still drags on for weeks.
On top of that there is security: by sending a pack of files you hand over full, unedited originals before the conversation about editing and payment has even started.
How a Pixchoose gallery solves this
One link, no accounts
The client opens the gallery from a link and browses straight away. No install, no sign-up, no passwords — fewer steps mean a faster decision.
One-click selection
The client hearts their favourite shots and can leave a comment on a photo. You get a clear list ready to load into Lightroom.
Works on mobile
Most clients pick photos in the evening on their phone. The gallery works there just as comfortably as on a desktop.
Protects your work
The client views watermarked previews, not originals. You release full quality only after the selection and payment.
Selection counter
You see how many photos the client tagged — so it is instantly clear whether they fit the package or trigger an add-on.
On brand
The gallery looks like part of your studio, not a raw file folder. That, too, shapes how professional you come across.
A selection gallery is not the same as file transfer
It is easy to confuse sending photos with a selection gallery, because at first glance they do the same thing — show the client photos. The difference is in the goal. File transfer (email, WeTransfer, cloud) answers “how do I move the photos to the client" and ends the moment they download. A selection gallery answers “how does the client tag what they want, and how do I receive that choice".
That seemingly small distinction changes everything in practice. With transfer, the file arrives, but the choice still has to be fished out of emails, calls and guesswork. With a gallery, the choice is the end product — you get a ready list of tagged photos, often with comments, without a single extra message.
So for choosing photos you need a tool built around the decision, not around moving files. The Pixchoose gallery does exactly that: it walks the client from “I viewed" to “I chose and confirmed", and hands you the result in a form you load straight into your workflow. The time that used to vanish into back-and-forth about numbers simply stops being needed.
Frequently asked questions
Does the client need an account to view the gallery?
No. The client opens the gallery from a single link and browses and tags photos right away — no registration, login or install of any kind.
Does the gallery work on mobile?
Yes. The gallery is fully responsive — scrolling, full-screen preview and tagging your selection all work comfortably on both phone and desktop.
Can the client download my original photos?
During selection the client sees reduced-resolution previews, usually watermarked. You release the full files only after the choice is made and settled, in the final gallery.
How do I receive the client’s selection?
Once the client confirms, you get a clear, unambiguous list of the tagged photos along with any comments — no copying numbers out of emails.
