Once you’ve finished creating your collection, you can easily share it with your clients from our built-in sharing feature. From here, you can copy a direct link along with any necessary password/download PIN, generate a QR code, or share via email if preferred. You can also share the collection URL by copying the direct link from the Collections page or any collection on your Client Gallery homepage.

Sharing from a Collection
From any collection in your dashboard, click the down arrow next to the green Share button to pull up the sharing options.
Share by Email
Clicking Share by Email allows you to send beautiful, personalized email invites to your clients. You can also click the Share button to the left of the down arrow directly within the Collection to share by email.
From there, you can insert a saved email template, choose your preferred email theme, view your email history, and schedule the email to be sent on a specific date and time. On this page, you can also obtain a direct link and generate a QR code for the Collection. A complete guide to sharing from the email invite page can be found here.
Using a Direct Link
Clicking Get Direct Link will open a popup that allows you to copy the collection URL in one click, along with any relevant collection information. Information presented here will automatically display based on what you’ve set up in the collection’s settings for:
Client Exclusive Access Password
Further, you can click the social sharing icons to share directly to the social media accounts linked in your Profile Settings.
Sharing via QR Codes
If you would like to generate a QR code to allow easy access to your gallery, you can do so by clicking Get QR Code. This is a great option to incorporate in your brand marketing (ie. a business card or other printed material) or for displaying digitally/at an event. This option will open a QR code which can be downloaded as a PNG file for you to use. Visitors can scan the QR code to visit the gallery.
Reviewing Email Invite History
If you want to quickly access a history of email shares from this collection, you can click View Email History. We have a detailed guide to this feature and the status of your sent emails here.
Sharing from the Collection Listings Pages
Next to any collection in the Collections page in your dashboard, click More (…) > Share to pull up your options. They include sharing by email, by direct link, or through a QR code.
Similar to sharing from a collection, Get Direct Link will open a popup that allows you to copy the collection URL in one click, along with any relevant collection information. Information presented here will automatically display based on what you’ve set up in the collection’s settings for:
Client Exclusive Access Password
Clicking Get QR Code will open a QR code which can be downloaded as a PNG file. Clients or Collection visitors can scan the QR code to access the Collection URL.
Sharing from your Client Gallery Homepage
You can access your Client Gallery homepage URL at any time from the Client Gallery Settings > Homepage area in your dashboard. From there, you can click into any collection and copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.
Sharing Photos with Quick Share Links
Quick Share allows you to select specific photos from a gallery and share them through a unique link. This is useful for sharing photos with vendors, collaborators, potential clients and publications.
To do this, click to select any number of photos in a gallery, and click the Share icon on the bottom bar.
Under Advanced options, you can turn on/off download for the selected photos in this link.
When, click Create Link to generate a link via which these photos can be viewed and downloaded.
Reviewing Quick Share History
All the links you have previously generated will appear under Activities > Quick Share Links. You can remove or edit these links at any time. By deleting a link here, you are removing this Quick Share page.
Note: The Quick Share page is separate from the main gallery and therefore does not carry over gallery settings such as password, email registration, download PIN, etc. It is meant to be used as a quick way to share with your intended parties, anyone with the link will be able to view.
Simply click on any Quick Share activity to reveal more details in the right sidebar, such as a list of filenames, to see whether downloads were allowed, to edit the settings, etc.
