7 days free. No credit card. Plans from $29/month.
How it works
From the card reader to the client in minutes.
Drag in your photos
Drop a folder of finished images into a new gallery. Uploads go straight to secure cloud storage, with progress you can watch.
Send a branded link
Your client gets an email or text with your logo, your colors and their gallery link. Or copy the link and send it however you like.
They download, you know
Clients save single photos or everything at once. You see who opened and who downloaded, and reminders go out on their own.
Features
Everything a delivery needs. Nothing it doesn't.
ShutterSend does one job well: getting finished photos to the people who paid for them, under your name.
Full-resolution downloads
Clients get the original files, one at a time or as a single zip. Phones save straight to the photo library.
Your brand, not ours
Your logo, your color and your business name on every gallery page and email, at your own yourname.shuttersend.app address.
Proofing
Send watermarked proofs. Clients approve or ask for changes on each photo and leave notes, and you get an alert when they're done.
Email and text
Connect your own SendGrid and Twilio, and links go out by email and text from your name. No accounts? Copy the link in one click.
Expiring links and reminders
Set how long each gallery stays up. Clients who haven't opened theirs get a nudge automatically, before it's gone.
Know what happened
See when each gallery was opened and downloaded, and get flagged when an email bounces so nobody falls through the cracks.
Fix it after sending
Add, remove or swap photos in a gallery you already sent, then publish the update. The client keeps the same link.
Password galleries
Lock a gallery with a password for private sessions, so only the people you choose can see it. The password can go in the email for you.
Clients mark up proofs
Clients can circle a spot or box a face and add a note like "This is Jake, #12," so you know exactly what to change.
Proofing
Approvals without the email chain.
Send a proof link and your client goes through each image, marks it approved or not, and leaves a note. Every preview carries your watermark, and nothing can be downloaded.
- Your own watermark text on every proof
- Captions and instructions for the client
- Swap photos and republish after changes
Pricing
Pay for storage. Everything else is included.
Every plan has every feature. Pick the space you need, pay monthly and cancel any time.
FAQ
Questions photographers ask.
What is ShutterSend?
ShutterSend is an online photo delivery service for professional photographers. You upload a finished gallery, send your client a link with your own logo and colors, and they view and download the full-resolution photos. It also handles proofing, reminders and expiring links.
What kinds of photographers use ShutterSend?
Any photographer who delivers finished photos: weddings and engagements, newborn and family sessions, seniors, school and daycare picture days, sports teams and leagues, events and corporate work. Group galleries into events, and label each one as a gallery, team, group, class, session, family or couple.
How much does ShutterSend cost?
Plans start at $29 a month for 100 GB and go up to 10 TB. Every plan includes every feature; you only choose how much storage you need. Plans renew monthly and you can cancel any time.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account gets 7 days free with up to 3 galleries and 25 GB of photos. You don't need a credit card to start.
What happens when the free trial ends?
Pick a plan to keep going. Without one, your galleries and client links go offline, but your photos are kept: choose a plan any time and everything comes back, with nothing to move or set up again.
How does billing work?
Plans are billed monthly by card and renew automatically until you cancel. Moving to a bigger plan takes effect right away; moving to a smaller one starts on your next billing date. If you cancel, everything keeps working until the end of the month you paid for.
Do my clients need an account to download their photos?
No. Clients open the link you send them and download right away, on a phone or a computer. They can save single photos or the whole gallery as one zip file.
Are the downloads full resolution?
Yes. Clients download the original files you uploaded, not compressed copies. On phones, photos save straight to the camera roll.
Can I use my own logo and colors?
Yes. Your business name, logo and brand color appear on every gallery page and email, and your galleries live at your own address, like yourstudio.shuttersend.app.
How are galleries sent to clients?
Connect your own SendGrid account to email clients from your own address, and your own Twilio number to text them. If you'd rather not, copy the gallery link in one click and send it any way you like.
How does proofing work?
Send a proof link instead of a download link. Your client sees watermarked previews, approves each photo or asks for a change with a note, and you're alerted when they submit. You can swap photos and republish without sending a new link.
How long do galleries stay online?
You choose an expiration for each gallery. Clients who haven't opened their gallery can get an automatic reminder, and you can extend a gallery or update its photos after it's sent.
What counts toward my storage?
The photos in your galleries. When a gallery expires or you delete it, its photos stop counting. Your current usage is always shown in your account.
Are my clients' photos private?
Yes. Every gallery has its own unguessable link, gallery pages are hidden from search engines, and photos sit in private cloud storage that is only reachable through those links. For extra privacy, put a password on any gallery.
Your next gallery could go out today.
