Client Proofing

Clients Choose Their Favorites. You See What They Did.

Send a gallery link and clients sign in with a one-time email link, so there is no password to forget. ShotLocker can email them when a gallery is ready and when you add more photos. They mark favorites and download what you allow. Set an expiry date and check activity from your library.

Bring Your Whole Library Over in One Zip.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Is There a Free Plan?+

Yes. Free gives you 4 GB, unlimited delivery to clients, keyword search and a site at yourname.shotlocker.app, with no card needed. Selling, zip import, password-protected galleries, expiry dates, watermark and site branding, and search by camera and date are on paid plans.

How Does the Free Trial Work?+

Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.

Is Delivery to Clients Really Unlimited?+

Yes. Plans are priced by storage only, with no delivery limits, subject to fair use as described in the Terms.

Can I Watermark My Photos?+

Yes, on paid plans. Design a text or logo watermark, with separate marks for horizontal and vertical photos, and apply it to a gallery or a whole folder. It is drawn on photos shown on screen and you can cap the preview size. Your originals and clean downloads are never changed.

Will My Clients Be Emailed When Photos Are Ready?+

If you turn it on in Settings, ShotLocker emails the clients assigned to a gallery when it first gets photos and when you add more, with a link to open it. Several uploads close together send one email. It is off until you enable it.

Can I Bring My Library From Another Host?+

Export a zip from your current platform and drop it in. Folders come with it, and duplicates are skipped.

Who Owns My Files?+

You do. Uploads go straight to storage set up for your account, and you can download your originals any time.

How Fast Are Uploads?+

Each file is split into pieces and several pieces go up at the same time, like opening more checkout lanes, so uploads can be up to 7x faster than the leading competitor. Your actual speed still depends on your internet connection.

Can I Upload Over SFTP?+

SFTP upload is coming soon on the 500 GB and 1 TB plans, at no extra charge.

Can I Upload Video?+

Video uploads are coming soon on every paid plan, at no extra charge.

Can I Add More Storage Later?+

Yes. Add +500 GB or +1 TB to any plan, or move up a tier.
