Adding photos to a gallery

Upload photos directly in the gallery editor. Use the upload button or drag files into the editor window.

Uploading photos

  1. Open a gallery from your portfolio
  2. Click Upload in the top right, or drag photos into the editor window
  3. Wait for the photos to appear in the selected collection

Photos are added to the collection that is selected when the upload starts.

Reordering photos

Drag a photo to reorder it within a collection. You can also drag a photo to another collection to move it.

Collections can also be reordered with drag and drop.

Selecting multiple photos

There are two ways to select multiple photos:

  • Drag across the photo area to draw a selection box
  • Click one photo, then hold Shift and click another photo to select a range

You can drag multiple selected photos to reorder a group or move it into another collection.

Display and access options

The left panel opens to Presentation by default. Presentation settings control how the gallery is displayed.

Open the Access tab to set:

SettingDescription
Zip downloadsAllow or disable downloading the gallery as a zip file
Individual photo downloadsAllow or disable downloads for single photos
Maximum resolutionLimit the largest delivered image size
WatermarkingAdd a text or image watermark when the gallery is published

Maximum resolution

Maximum resolution limits the size of images delivered from the published gallery. This is useful for proofing or review galleries where clients can view the work before receiving full-resolution files.

For example, you can publish a gallery with downloads enabled, limit the maximum resolution, and remove the limit later when final delivery is ready.

Watermarking

Watermarking adds a visible text or image mark to gallery images when the gallery is published. This is useful when sharing proofs, previews, or review galleries before final delivery.

See Watermarking for watermark setup.
