The easiest way to review and approve photos with clients.
Deliver beautiful galleries, collect specific feedback, and get paid — without the back-and-forth chaos. Approvepictures is the private, EU-hosted platform built for independent photographers. No ads, no tracking, and never used for AI training.
No card required. No signup needed to try.
Stop guessing which photos your client actually wants.
Generic file-sharing tools like Dropbox or WeTransfer are built for documents, not photography. They lack structured feedback, forcing you to waste hours chasing clients over text messages and emails just to find their favorites.
Built for photographers.
Everything you need to send photos to your client. Nothing you don't.
Star favorites
Your client stars the photos they want — you get a clean list of approved shots.
Comments on photos
Per-photo comments so feedback never gets lost in email threads.
Draw markings
Circle, rectangle or point — your client marks exactly what to retouch.
Cropping suggestions
Clients can suggest crops directly on the photo so you nail the final framing.
Sell and get paid
Charge per gallery or per photo with Stripe. Money goes straight to your account.
Fast bulk upload
Drag hundreds of photos in at once. Resumable uploads, no lost work.
Watermark and download control
Show previews with a watermark and decide if and when clients can download originals.
Email delivery and reminders
Send the gallery link by email and ping clients automatically if they forget.
Never used to train AI
We never scan your photos to train models. Your photos are yours — full stop.
EU-hosted and GDPR-friendly
Photos are stored safely in the EU. No transfer to the US, no surprises.
Password and expiry
Protect galleries with a password and set an expiry so photos don't linger online.
Owned by photographers
No investors, no ads. Just a tool built to make your day easier.
