    About

    In practice. What you can do with Pixieset.

    Pixieset lets photographers deliver client galleries with online proofing and print or digital sales, build a portfolio website, and manage bookings and invoicing through Studio Manager, with a mobile app for clients to view and download their photos.

    The free plan gives 3GB of storage but takes a 15% commission on every sale. Basic starts at $10/month ($8/month annual) with 10GB storage and no commission, scaling up to Ultimate at $50/month ($40/month annual) for unlimited photo storage. It suits a working photographer who wants gallery delivery, sales and client management in one subscription instead of separate tools.

    Practical uses

    • Deliver a client's wedding or portrait shoot through an online galleryProofing and print/digital sales built in.
    • Build a photography portfolio website and handle client booking and invoicing (Studio Manager) in the same account.

    Pays off from

    12 minsaved a month

    Pixieset costs $8/month. If your hour is worth $40, those 12 min cover it.

    Against. What to plan for.

    • Free plan's 3GB storage is too small for full shoot deliveries.
    • Video storage is capped separately from photo storage and priced as an add-on beyond included minutes.

    Too expensive if

    • You use it less than once a month
    • A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do

    Performance

    Storage scales from 3GB free to 1TB (Pro) and unlimited photo storage (Ultimate, RAW capped at 1TB), covering most working photographers' needs, though video storage is capped separately and billed as an add-on.
