    About

    In practice. What you can do with Pixieset.

    Pixieset is the online gallery built for photographers who deliver to clients. You upload your selection, send a link branded as your own, and the client downloads, picks favorites (proofing), or orders prints directly. It replaces the WeTransfer-plus-manual-invoice hack with an end-to-end pro experience.

    There's a free plan (limited storage) to try it, then paid plans that unlock more space, print and file sales, and customization. The real trigger is sales: as soon as you're charging for client shoots, the subscription pays off quickly.

    Who it's for: photographers (wedding, portrait, events) who want to deliver cleanly and sell. If you only share files with no sales or branding, a free Google Drive or WeTransfer is plenty. Pixieset earns its place when the gallery becomes a sales tool, not just a transfer pipe.

    Practical uses

    Keep if

    You're a photographer delivering galleries to clients.. You want to sell prints and files online.

    Pixieset becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost ($12) is small next to the time it saves you
