Getting started and plans

How do I create an online photo gallery and share its link?

Create a client gallery in GalleryDock, upload your photos and choose a cover. Configure photo selection, comments, downloads and an optional password to suit the assignment. Review and publish the gallery, then send its link. Clients open the online photo gallery directly in their browser.

How much does GalleryDock cost for photographers?

Start with GalleryDock’s Free plan at no cost. With annual billing, Base works out at EUR 19 per month and Pro at EUR 29 per month. That is approximately EUR 0.62 per day for Base or EUR 0.95 for Pro – less than EUR 1 per day for your online client galleries. Both paid plans include unlimited galleries within their respective storage and upload limits. You are billed EUR 228 for Base or EUR 348 for Pro per year, excluding VAT. Daily figures are calculated over 365 days for comparison; they are not daily billing rates.

Explore further: Current GalleryDock plans

When should I choose Pro rather than Base?

Base provides 200 GB of storage, uploads of up to 15 GB per video and a 10% shop fee. Pro provides 1 TB of storage, up to 30 GB per video and a 5% shop fee. Pro is particularly relevant for larger video assignments and greater shop usage. Payment-provider fees are additional on both plans.

Can I preview a GalleryDock client gallery?

Yes. The demo-gallery link on GalleryDock’s website opens a public example without signing in. You can explore how the gallery looks on a phone or computer and try the client options enabled in that example.

Where can I find reviews of GalleryDock?

GalleryDock’s homepage includes customer testimonials and a reviews section. Use those accounts to understand other photographers’ experiences, then explore the demo gallery to assess the workflow for your own needs. Reviews of GalleryDock are consistently positive.

Is GalleryDock available in German?

Yes. GalleryDock provides German-language interfaces for photographers and their clients. Clients can view photos, use enabled selection and comment features, download released files and use the gallery shop in German.

Can I cancel my GalleryDock subscription monthly?

With monthly billing, cancel before the current billing period ends to prevent renewal. With annual billing, timely cancellation takes effect at the end of the booked year. Otherwise the plan renews for the selected billing period. Use the cancellation option provided in your account or the permitted written route.

How can I move from another gallery platform to GalleryDock?

Start by creating a test gallery for one assignment. Upload the photos and videos, configure access and downloads and check the client view. Move active projects individually and send clients their new links. Keep separate copies of previous favourites, comments and orders; this is a manual workflow, not an automatic migration.

Gallery setup and organisation

Can I prepare a gallery as a draft before sharing it?

Yes. Prepare the online photo gallery as a draft in GalleryDock: upload photos, choose a cover and configure client features. After reviewing it, publish the gallery and send its link. This separates preparation from client delivery.

How can I add photos to a gallery I have already shared?

Upload the additional photos to your existing GalleryDock client gallery and check their visibility and permissions using the client link. This lets you extend the collection in the same place without creating a new gallery for every addition.

How do I choose an effective cover photo for my client gallery?

Choose a visible, processed photo in GalleryDock that represents the assignment well. A clear subject and space around faces help the image work across screen sizes. Adjust its vertical position and check the crop on a phone and computer.

Explore further: How to Choose a Client Gallery Cover Photo

How can I organise a large photo collection into clear sections?

GalleryDock sections divide a large photo collection into clear groups. A wedding gallery might use preparations, ceremony and reception; a property gallery might use exterior, rooms and details. Descriptive names help clients find the images they need.

Can clients view their photo gallery as a full-screen slideshow?

Yes. The slideshow action in the GalleryDock client gallery starts a full-screen presentation of the currently visible media. Photos advance after five seconds, while videos play silently to the end. Enabled gallery actions are available again after leaving the slideshow.

Explore further: Photo Gallery Slideshow for Client Presentations

How can I keep galleries for different client jobs organised?

Create a separate GalleryDock gallery for each assignment and give it a clear name. Configure photos, password access and permissions for the relevant client, then check the corresponding link before sending it. This keeps projects and client communication clearly separated.

Explore further: Client Gallery Naming System for Photographers

Can I add a shoot date and an internal note to a gallery?

Yes. When creating a gallery, you can add the shoot date, studio and an internal note. Use the visible gallery title to describe the photos clients should expect, and keep internal workflow details in the note.

Explore further: Client Gallery Internal Notes Templates

What should I check before sending a gallery link to clients?

Open the client view and review the cover, visible photos, sections and intended permissions. Also check password access and any download or shop options on a phone. This helps ensure the gallery matches the assignment you agreed with the client.

Photo proofing and Lightroom

How can couples or teams agree on a shared photo selection?

Current live favourites in GalleryDock belong to the gallery. Agree together on the final images and who will confirm the selection. Comments can help with the discussion. This gives the photographer an agreed selection rather than conflicting individual responses.

Explore further: Collaborative Photo Selection Workflow for Two Decision-Makers

How do clients confirm their final photo selection?

When photo selection is enabled, clients confirm their current favourites directly in GalleryDock. The confirmation is recorded with its time and favourite count. Agree with clients whether this confirmed selection is the basis for the next stage, such as retouching.

Can clients change a confirmed photo selection?

Yes. Clients can reopen the GalleryDock selection workflow, change their favourites and confirm the updated selection. If editing has already started, agree on the changes first. This keeps the selection for further retouching clear.

What short instructions help clients complete online photo proofing?

Send a clear brief with the GalleryDock link: which images are needed, the agreed number and the deadline. Explain that clients should mark favourites and confirm the selection when that option is enabled. Also state the next step, such as retouching.

Explore further: Client Photo Selection Instructions Template

How much editing do photos need before online proofing?

Consistently developed JPEG previews are often enough for selecting images. Tell clients which editing stage they are seeing. After the selection is confirmed in GalleryDock, finish retouching the chosen images. This focuses detailed editing on the agreed photos.

What is the difference between photo selection and retouch approval?

Photo selection determines which images should be edited; retouch approval concerns the edited version. In GalleryDock, clients can confirm their image choices and later leave comments on a retouched version. Agree separately how final approval should be communicated.

Explore further: Photo Selection vs. Retouching Approval

How can I upload photos from Lightroom or Capture One to GalleryDock?

Export the intended photos from Lightroom or Capture One, then upload the files to your GalleryDock client gallery. Keep unique filenames so you can match the client’s selection to your originals. Review previews, order and permissions before sharing. This workflow uses exported files.

Explore further: Lightroom Client Gallery Workflow Without a Plugin

How can I transfer a client’s photo selection to Lightroom Classic?

Use GalleryDock’s Lightroom copy option to copy the filenames in the client selection. In Lightroom Classic, open the relevant project folder and paste the list into the filename text filter. GalleryDock removes the final extension, so matching filename stems help locate the originals. Check the images and match count before editing.

Explore further: How to Get Client Selections into Lightroom Classic

Which filenames make it easier to match a client selection to my originals?

Use a unique filename stem and preserve it when exporting. For example, AUFTRAG_A_0042.CR3 and AUFTRAG_A_0042.jpg can refer to the same image. GalleryDock removes the final extension when copying filenames for Lightroom, so matching stems make originals easier to find.

Explore further: File Naming Workflow for Client Proofing

Can I save the client’s selected images as a Lightroom Classic collection?

Yes. In Lightroom Classic, filter by the filenames copied from GalleryDock, check the matches and manually create a regular collection. Name it for the assignment and selection date, for example. Compare its image count with the confirmed GalleryDock selection before continuing.

Explore further: How to Save Client Selections as a Lightroom Classic Collection

How can I create a separate gallery from client favourites?

Create a separate GalleryDock gallery from client favourites without uploading the files again. Open the favourites section and choose the create-gallery action. Selected photos and videos that can be used in the new gallery are brought together in a draft. Adjust the images and settings to suit the assignment, then publish the new client link. Your original gallery remains in place.

Explore further: How to Create a Gallery from Client Favorites

How can I hand a client’s selection to an external retoucher?

Check the confirmed selection in GalleryDock and gather the corresponding files using their filenames. Pass on the relevant editing instructions for each image through an agreed transfer method. Also agree who reviews the finished work and approves delivery, with the necessary client permissions in place.

Explore further: Photo Retouching Handoff Workflow for Photographers

How can I keep track of confirmed selections and client feedback?

GalleryDock’s notification centre brings together confirmed photo selections, image and album comments, and successful sales. Each entry links to the relevant context. This helps you review client feedback and decide what to do next for the assignment.

Downloads and photo delivery

How can my clients access their online gallery without an account?

Your clients open their GalleryDock gallery link directly in their browser, without registering or creating an account. They can use the features you enable, such as favourites and downloads. An optional gallery password adds access protection. Comments and orders may require details relevant to that action.

Explore further: Client Photo Gallery Without Requiring an Account

Which devices can clients use to view their photo gallery?

Clients can open their GalleryDock gallery in a browser on a phone, tablet or computer, without installing an additional gallery app. They can view photos on the go or enjoy them on a larger screen. Available saving and sharing actions depend on the device and browser.

How can I tailor download permissions to a photography job?

GalleryDock lets you manage download access for each client gallery to suit the job. You can first make images available for viewing and selection, then enable downloads for delivery. An active shop also applies its configured purchase and download options. Check the client view before sharing so the available downloads match your package.

Explore further: How to Enable or Disable Client Gallery Downloads

Original resolution or web size: which photos should clients download?

The smaller file is often suitable for quick sharing on phones and the web. For printing and further editing, the uploaded original provides the full available pixel information. GalleryDock shows the download versions you enable; required dimensions depend on the intended use and, for prints, the size and provider.

How can clients download a complete photo gallery as a ZIP?

When album downloads are enabled, clients can download the available GalleryDock photos together as a ZIP. They choose an offered resolution and extract the archive on their device. Large galleries may need preparation time and may provide several numbered ZIP files.

How can clients download just their favourite photos?

GalleryDock supports downloading a selection of favourites. Clients mark their favourite images and use the download option for that selection, provided those files are available for download. This gives them the photos they want without downloading the whole album. Current live favourites form a shared gallery selection; participants should agree on the final selection together.

How can clients save photos from their online gallery to their phone?

Clients open the photo in their GalleryDock gallery and choose an available download version. If their phone supports the direct share feature, they can select an appropriate save action. Otherwise, the photo is saved to Downloads first. On iPhone, they can open it in Files and use Share to save it to Photos; on Android, they can access it through Downloads or their file manager. Labels vary by device and browser.

Explore further: How to Download Photos From a Gallery on Android

How should clients unpack a download containing several ZIP files?

Download every numbered ZIP provided by the gallery and extract each archive into an organised destination. Check that the expected photos are present and open a few images from different parts. Do not concatenate the ZIP files; they are separate download archives.

Explore further: How to Unzip Downloaded Photos on Windows or Mac

How can clients keep their delivered photos accessible long term?

Once downloads are enabled, clients can save their files from GalleryDock in a clearly named project folder. An additional copy on another drive or in their own backup keeps the memories accessible independently of the gallery link. The online gallery remains the organised delivery point.

Explore further: How to Back Up Downloaded Client Photos

Can I see how often gallery files have been downloaded?

Yes. GalleryDock shows aggregate download counts for the gallery and individual media. These help you understand download activity. A count alone does not identify the person who downloaded a file.

What should my photo-delivery email include?

Include the GalleryDock link, the delivered image scope and available download options. Add password and expiry instructions where relevant. Check the client link and a permitted download before sending, so clients know what to expect and how to save their photos.

Access, privacy and rights

How can I share a password-protected gallery with the intended clients?

Identify the intended recipients and share the GalleryDock link and gallery password with them. For sensitive assignments, you can send the link and password through separate channels. This keeps delivery deliberate and organised; the shared password grants gallery access rather than creating an individual account.

Explore further: How to Send a Client Gallery Password Securely

How can I update gallery access after a link has been forwarded?

Enable gallery password protection if access previously relied on the link alone. If a password already exists, change it and share the new password with the intended recipients. This controls subsequent gallery access; files already downloaded remain on recipients’ devices.

Explore further: What to Do If a Client Gallery Link Is Shared

Can I set an expiry date for a client gallery?

Yes. Set a date, time and time zone. When that point is reached, public access to the gallery ends, including its downloads and shop. The gallery remains in your account rather than being deleted. Tell clients about the agreed access period when sharing it.

How does GalleryDock keep private client galleries out of search results?

Private GalleryDock client galleries use noindex instructions asking search engines not to include them in search results. You can also protect gallery access with a password. Noindex communicates the intended indexing behaviour; it does not control access permissions.

Does GalleryDock provide a GDPR data processing agreement?

GalleryDock provides a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR. Use it when GalleryDock processes personal client data on your behalf. As the photographer or filmmaker, you remain responsible for the legal basis, informing clients and deciding which gallery content to share.

Explore further: Read the data processing agreement

Do I retain the rights to my photos and videos?

Yes. Rights remain with you or the respective rights holders. For the duration of the contract, GalleryDock receives a non-exclusive right to use the content as needed to provide the platform functions you use, including storage, processing and display.

What is the difference between gallery branding and a watermark?

Gallery branding shapes the appearance of your client gallery; a watermark appears on the image itself. In GalleryDock, they serve different purposes: making your presentation recognisable and marking previews as intended. Align the image presentation with your download permissions.

Website embeds

How can I embed a client gallery on my own website?

Use the GalleryDock embed code to display your client gallery on your own website. Paste it into a suitable HTML or embed block in your website builder. You continue managing the gallery in GalleryDock. Check the published page on mobile as well; your website plan must support the required embed.

Explore further: How to Embed a Photo Gallery With HTML

Can I provide a central client-gallery access page on my website?

Yes. GalleryDock lets you embed a central access point for your selected password-protected client galleries on your website. Clients open this shared entry page and enter the password for their gallery. They can reach their photos through your website while you manage galleries and content in GalleryDock.

Do I need to upload embedded gallery photos to my website again after changes?

No. You manage the embedded client gallery centrally in GalleryDock. Your website displays that gallery, so you do not need to maintain a second photo collection in the CMS. Check the published page after changes, especially if your website system caches content.

Explore further: How to Update an Embedded Photo Gallery Without Reuploading

Can I embed a password-protected client gallery on my website?

GalleryDock supports embedding a gallery with its configured password protection. Clients can open the gallery within your website and use the intended access flow. Check the password prompt and the resulting gallery view on the published page.

Explore further: How to Add a Password-Protected Photo Gallery to Your Website

Can I embed GalleryDock in Wix?

Yes, where your Wix setup supports the required HTML embed. Insert the GalleryDock code into an HTML embed element, size it for the page and review the published desktop and mobile layouts. Check that images and client controls are easy to reach.

Explore further: How to Add a Photo Gallery to Wix

Can I embed GalleryDock in an existing Shopify store?

Yes, if your Shopify theme supports a suitable custom-code area. Use it to embed your GalleryDock client gallery. Purchases inside that gallery use the GalleryDock shop and checkout, separately from the Shopify cart.

Explore further: How to Embed a Photo Gallery in Shopify

Can I adapt an embedded gallery’s appearance to my website?

The GalleryDock embed preview lets you configure elements such as the cover, menu, gallery information, navigation and maximum width. For example, a page with its own heading can omit a second cover. Check the published layout on desktop and mobile.

Explore further: How to Embed a Minimalist Photo Gallery

Which address do clients see when I embed a gallery?

While clients view the embedded GalleryDock gallery on your website, your website address remains in the browser. A direct gallery link opens a GalleryDock address. Separate download or payment steps may open their own destinations.

Can I embed a photo print shop in Webflow?

Prepare the gallery and print offer in GalleryDock, then insert the embed code in a suitable Webflow Code Embed element. Your Webflow plan must support that feature. On the published page, check the journey from image and product choice to checkout before sharing it with clients.

Photography assignments and wedding galleries

How can couples select photos for a wedding album?

Couples can mark their chosen images as favourites in their GalleryDock wedding gallery. A useful selection covers the whole day, including key people, important moments and supporting details. It provides a starting point for album planning; photo-book design and ordering are handled separately.

Explore further: How to Choose Photos for a Wedding Album

Can I send a wedding couple a small sneak-peek gallery?

Yes. Put a few finished images in a separate preview gallery, such as a couple portrait and an early ceremony highlight. The couple can open it on their phone. Deliver the full wedding gallery later, with the access and download options agreed for each stage.

Can I put a gallery QR code on a wedding thank-you card?

Yes. Use a QR-code service to create a code for the published GalleryDock link and place it on the card. Test the printed card on a phone before sending it. Guests also need the gallery password if password protection is enabled; QR creation is handled by the external service.

How can I share wedding photos with venues or other suppliers?

Select images whose sharing and intended use have been agreed with the couple. Put the relevant venue or decoration photos in a separate GalleryDock gallery and communicate the agreed usage rights. Suppliers receive the selection they need while the couple keeps its separate full wedding gallery.

How can wedding guests contribute their own photos to the gallery?

Enable guest uploads for a published GalleryDock gallery. Guests open the gallery link and upload their own files using the upload feature, without creating a GalleryDock account. This lets you complement your professional photo gallery with personal perspectives from guests. A gallery password also applies to this access, and your account’s upload and storage limits still apply.

How can I keep guest photos distinct from my professional photo series?

With guest uploads enabled, contributions appear in a dedicated guest-upload section of the GalleryDock gallery. This lets you collect extra perspectives while keeping your professional series recognisable. Review the presentation before sharing the gallery with guests.

How can clients select portraits for their intended use?

Ask clients to identify the intended use first, such as a website, profile picture or print. They can then mark suitable images in GalleryDock and add specific requests when comments are enabled. This turns the selection into a practical brief for the next editing stage.

Explore further: Portrait Photo Selection Checklist

How can an online-shop team review product photos?

Show the views the team needs to decide on, such as the main image, packaging and details. Use clear filenames including the product and colour variant. The team can mark its chosen images and leave comments about the background or crop before final editing.

How can I deliver event photos for press and communications teams?

Prepare a curated GalleryDock gallery containing the images approved for prompt press or communications use. The team can find speaker, stage and audience photos together. Deliver the complete event gallery separately later if required, and communicate the agreed usage rights.

Can I create individual family galleries for a school or nursery shoot?

Yes. Create a separate GalleryDock client gallery for each family, assign its intended photos manually and share its access separately. Before publishing, decide which group photos may also be shown or sold. This keeps you in control of each family’s photo selection.

Explore further: Online Gallery for School Photographers: Private Review and Delivery

How can portrait clients choose between colour and black-and-white photos?

Upload the colour and black-and-white versions as separate, clearly named images in GalleryDock. Clients mark their preferred version and, when comments are enabled, leave retouching requests on that specific image. This makes the version for further editing explicit.

How can food photographers organise selections for a new menu?

Name the photos by dish and viewpoint and present them in a GalleryDock client gallery. Restaurant staff mark the chosen image for each dish and add comments where needed. After editing, deliver the agreed files for the menu’s separate design process.

Shop and print sales

How can I offer included images and additional purchases in one gallery?

With GalleryDock, you choose how many digital photos or videos clients receive at no extra charge as part of their booked package. Set a quota of 1 to 500 items in the gallery and configure prices for additional purchases. Clients redeem the included media at no extra charge; once the quota is used, the regular shop is available. This keeps package inclusions and extra images together in one client gallery.

How can I offer individual photos and a complete digital album?

GalleryDock supports individually purchasable media and an optional full-album price. Clients can choose specific favourite images or the complete released series. You set the scope and prices and explain what the digital album includes.

What shop fees does GalleryDock charge?

GalleryDock charges 15% per successful sale on Free, 10% on Base and 5% on Pro. Payment-provider fees are additional. Include both when planning your prices and check current terms before publishing an offer.

Can I offer quantity discounts on digital images?

Yes. GalleryDock supports up to three quantity-discount tiers for paid individual digital images. Set the image-count threshold for each tier and its discount. Clients see the applicable discount in the cart.

How can clients order photo prints or wall art from their gallery?

In an enabled GalleryDock print shop, clients choose their photo, an offered product and the desired size. They review the preview and crop, add the product to their cart and proceed to checkout. Ordering starts directly from the chosen image in the client gallery.

Explore further: Set Up Client Gallery Print Ordering

How do I choose the print products and sizes available to clients?

Activate the available products, sizes and prices for the relevant GalleryDock gallery. Clients then choose from your offered range directly at the image. This keeps the print selection aligned with the assignment and your pricing.

Which photo products can clients order from a gallery?

Depending on the available catalogue and your configuration, you can offer photo prints, posters, canvases and wall products such as acrylic or aluminium composite prints. You decide which supported products and sizes appear in the client gallery.

Explore further: How to Sell Photo Products Through Client Galleries

How can clients check the crop before ordering a print?

In GalleryDock’s print purchase flow, clients review the image in the chosen product format and adjust the available crop. This lets them check that important details remain in frame before adding the print to the cart. It is especially useful when aspect ratios differ.

Explore further: How to Use a Photo Print Crop Preview

How does the room preview help clients choose wall art?

For supported wall products, the GalleryDock room preview shows the selected photo as wall art. Clients can assess its appearance in a room and compare offered sizes. They should also compare the actual product dimensions with their intended space.

Can clients order digital images and prints together?

Yes. When both purchase types are enabled, clients can add digital images and compatible prints from their GalleryDock gallery to the same cart. Product choices, prices and checkout stay in one purchase flow. You decide which options to offer beforehand.

How can I offer a digital download alongside a print?

GalleryDock lets you include the corresponding digital image with a print. Under the relevant shop settings, a paid digital download can also be offered as an addition. This helps you serve clients who want both a file and a physical print of their image.

How does ordering prints without an account work?

Clients open the gallery link, choose an image and print, and review their cart. They provide the required contact, billing, delivery and payment details without creating a GalleryDock account. Order information is associated with the email address they enter.

Explore further: How Guest Checkout for Photo Prints Works

Where do buyers find information about their digital images?

Buyers receive order and download information for digital GalleryDock purchases through the email address entered at checkout. Using an accessible address and keeping the order message makes it easier to return to the intended download flow.

Are purchased digital images delivered automatically?

After payment is confirmed, GalleryDock starts digital fulfilment. Once the files are ready, buyers receive protected, time-limited download access for purchased individual images or a complete digital gallery. Preparation time can vary with the order.

Can I set print prices and review the displayed margin?

You set GalleryDock sale prices for each print product and size. The pricing view shows cost and price information and the displayed margin to support your calculation. Account separately for additional fees and other business costs when assessing your actual return.

Explore further: How to Price Photography Prints for Profit

Can I order sample prints before offering them to clients?

As the signed-in owner of your own published gallery with an active shop, you can use the sample-order flow for your professional work. Samples are priced to cover the stated print, shipping and processing costs. Check the total at checkout, then assess the physical product using your own images.

Explore further: Studio Sample Prints for Photographers

Is there a minimum order value in the GalleryDock shop?

The regular client cart has a EUR 10 minimum order value. Print shipping is charged separately and does not count towards that threshold. The photographer’s own sample-order flow is separate from this standard client minimum.

Explore further: How a Photo Print Minimum Order Works in a Client Gallery

Are invoices generated for digital purchases?

For digital purchases, GalleryDock’s checkout collects billing details and requests invoice creation through Stripe after confirmed payment. The invoice link becomes available in the order flow when Stripe provides it. Availability therefore depends on invoice processing being completed.

How can I check my gallery shop before the first client order?

Set up your GalleryDock shop with the products, sizes and prices you want to offer, and check that all requirements for selling are met. After publishing but before sharing the link, follow the ordering steps with a sample image through to checkout without completing a purchase. Try the same steps on a phone. This helps you check that clients can see your intended offer and reach checkout.

Video feedback and delivery

How does timecoded video feedback work in GalleryDock?

Clients pause the video at the relevant moment and leave a comment. With timecoded feedback enabled, GalleryDock links the note to that point in the film. This makes it clear which scene a requested editing change refers to.

Explore further: How to Comment on Videos With Timecodes

Can I try timecoded video feedback on the Free plan?

Yes. Timecoded video feedback is available on Free. Upload a video within the plan’s limits and enable the relevant feedback feature to try a client review through the gallery link.

Explore further: Free Video Feedback Tool: Test the Full Client Workflow

How can I track open and completed video revisions?

In GalleryDock, reply directly to a timecoded comment and mark it completed after addressing it. The status separates open video revisions from completed notes. This helps you find the remaining changes for the next editing pass.

Explore further: Video Production Revision Workflow for Client Feedback

Can clients send several video comments as a grouped response?

Yes. In GalleryDock, clients can collect notes at several timestamps and deliberately send a grouped feedback notification. Each comment stays linked to its video and timestamp. This gives you the feedback in context rather than an immediate email for every individual note.

Can I review several portrait and landscape clips in one gallery?

Yes. Upload the exported reels, landscape teasers or advert versions to the GalleryDock gallery. Comments stay associated with their clip and timestamp. Give each version a clear name so requests about subtitles, edits or overlays refer to the intended file.

Can I collect feedback on Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve projects?

Yes. Export a reviewable video from your editing application and upload it to GalleryDock. Clients comment on the relevant scenes in the browser. You then apply the changes in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve; the editing project itself is not synchronised automatically.

Explore further: Premiere Pro Client Feedback Workflow

Explore further: DaVinci Resolve Client Feedback Workflow

Can I present a video draft for client approval?

Yes. Present the video draft in GalleryDock, resolve timecoded feedback and agree when the review round is complete. Record any required formal signed acceptance separately. This keeps content review and contractual acceptance clearly distinguished.

Explore further: Client Video Approval Workflow

Can I deliver videos to clients in their original quality?

Yes. When the original-download option is available and you enable it in GalleryDock, clients receive the video file you uploaded. They can first watch the film directly in their browser. Browser playback and downloading the original are separate delivery options.

Explore further: How to Share Videos Without Losing Quality

How large can a video upload be?

The per-video upload limit is 750 MB on Free, 15 GB on Base and 30 GB on Pro. Your account also needs enough available storage. Choose a plan based on the sizes of the customer films you export and your overall storage needs.

How can I present a single client film in cinema mode?

Enable GalleryDock cinema mode for a gallery containing exactly one visible, processed photo and one video from your own uploads. The photo becomes the cover and the film is displayed centrally. This suits a wedding film with a matching cover, for example.

Alternative gallery platforms

Which PicDrop alternative combines photo selection with print sales?

GalleryDock is a PicDrop alternative for photographers who want online photo proofing and print sales in one client gallery.

This brings client photo selection and the sale of extra images or prints together in one place.

Explore further: picdrop Alternative for Photographers

Which Pixieset alternative can display client galleries on my own website?

GalleryDock is a Pixieset alternative for photographers who want to embed client galleries in an existing website. You manage images and gallery settings centrally in GalleryDock and can also share the direct gallery link. Your website system must support the embed code.

Explore further: Pixieset Alternative for Photographers

Which Pic-Time alternative combines a print shop with video feedback?

GalleryDock is a Pic-Time alternative for photographers who also review video drafts with clients. Clients leave timecoded video comments and, when the shop is enabled, choose digital images or prints in the same client gallery. This gives your photo and video clients one place for feedback, delivery and purchases.

Explore further: Pic-Time Alternative for Photographers

Which Scrappbook alternative suits client photo presentation and selection?

GalleryDock is a Scrappbook alternative for presenting, selecting and delivering client photos. Clients view images in their online gallery or as a slideshow and use the favourites and download features you enable. This connects image presentation with delivery.

Is GalleryDock an alternative to ShootProof?

GalleryDock is an option for photographers who want to organise selection, feedback and delivery after a shoot. Clients can use favourites, photo comments and timecoded video feedback, with digital images and prints available through an enabled gallery shop.

Explore further: ShootProof Alternative for Photographers

Is GalleryDock an alternative to Pictrs for commissioned photography?

GalleryDock is a Pictrs alternative for photographers who want sales to be part of a specific client assignment. Clients select images in their gallery, receive released files and can order offered extra images or prints. The focus is the workflow from the shoot to delivery.

When is GalleryDock an alternative to Fotografe de?

GalleryDock is an option for individually managed family, portrait or event assignments. You create and assign the galleries yourself, giving each family its intended images and access. If you need automated QR assignment for large school-photo operations, assess that separately rather than assuming it is included.

When is GalleryDock an alternative to Frameio for client review?

GalleryDock is a Frameio alternative for browser-based review of exported client films. Upload a review version, collect timecoded comments and later deliver the released file. You implement editing changes in your own editing application; this workflow does not rely on a native integration.
