Choosing a client gallery tool
Pixieset is a popular choice among photographers, and it is worth looking at if you are shopping around. Pxture is a different tool aimed at a similar job: delivering photos and videos to clients through a private, good-looking online gallery. This page is not a verdict on any other product. It is a plain description of what Pxture does, so you can decide whether it suits the way you work.
We do not list other providers’ prices, limits or features here, because they change and we would rather you read them at the source. Check current details on any provider’s own website before you decide.
What to compare, answered for Pxture
These are the questions most photographers ask when choosing a gallery service. Here are the answers for Pxture. Ask the same questions of every tool on your shortlist.
Storage
Free has 2 GB, Basic 20 GB, Plus 150 GB, Pro 1 TB and Ultimate 2 TB. If you go over, new uploads pause and nothing already uploaded is deleted.
Video
Add MP4, MOV or WebM files up to 5 GB each and they play inside the gallery. Maximum length per video depends on the plan: none on Free, 10 minutes on Basic, 30 minutes on Plus, 1.5 hours on Pro and 4 hours on Ultimate.
RAW files
Plus and higher support RAW + JPEG pairing. Clients see one photo with a “Download RAW” option, and Download all places RAWs in a separate folder.
Proofing
Plus and higher include proofing with your own text or PNG logo watermark, an optional favorites limit and a release step. Read more about photo proofing.
Downloads
Free plan downloads are web-size at 2000 px on the long side. Paid plans give full-resolution downloads. You can switch downloads on or off for each gallery.
Branding
The Free plan puts a small Pxture logo on photos. Paid plans have no Pxture logo. You can customize gallery covers, fonts, colors, layout and spacing, starting from six ready-made styles.
Price
There is a Free plan with no credit card, and paid plans billed monthly by card or PayPal, which you can cancel anytime. Current prices are always on the pricing page.
Who Pxture suits
Pxture is a good fit if you want a focused delivery tool rather than a big all-in-one suite. It is built for photographers who:
- want a simple way to hand finished galleries to clients, with favorites and downloads
- shoot video alongside photos and want clips to play in the same gallery
- deliver RAW files to some clients and want them paired neatly with JPEGs
- sell individual images or packages and need watermarked proofs they control
- like to test with a free account first, with no credit card
- want clean full-resolution downloads on paid plans with no tool logo on their clients’ photos
It may not be the right fit if you depend on features that are outside the list on this page. Look at everything Pxture does and compare it with what you need.
A fair way to run your comparison
The best test is a real one. Take a recent shoot, a small set of photos and a short video, and upload them to each service you are considering. Open the gallery on your phone as a client would. Mark some favorites, download a photo, check how the gallery looks without any explanation from you. Pay attention to how many steps it took you, not just how it looks.
Then compare the plan that fits your storage, video and delivery needs, and make sure you know what happens at the limit, what happens when you cancel and how download sizes work. With Pxture, a canceled plan runs to the end of the paid month and your photos are not deleted.
You can create a Pxture account with Google or email in a minute and try it without entering payment details.
