How you'd use it

Three ways photographers use FolderBloom

01

A portfolio that updates itself

Keep a folder per category. Add your favourite frames after a shoot and they appear on your portfolio page — resized and compressed for every screen.

Your folder
  • Dropbox / Website / Portfolio
  • Weddings / 48 photos
  • Portraits / 36 photos
  • Families / 29 photos
  • captions.csv
On your websiteMasonry gallery
  • One gallery per page, or all categories with folder navigation
  • Captions and alt text from captions.csv
  • Lightbox with keyboard and swipe
02

Private galleries for each client

Deliver a session into its own folder and set a password on it. Clients open your website, enter the password and browse — visitors without it see only a locked folder.

Why it fits

What makes it work for you

About 97% smaller images

AVIF and WebP in several sizes, so galleries load fast on phones without you exporting web versions.

Password-protected sessions

Each client folder can have its own password. Nothing inside is listed until it's entered.

Captions from a spreadsheet

Write captions and alt text in captions.csv — great for SEO and accessibility.

Your originals stay yours

Originals never leave your Dropbox. Web copies have camera and location data removed.

Recommended package

Files + Plus

2,500 optimized photos covers a busy portfolio plus current client galleries. Choose Pro for large archives.

Good to know

FolderBloom shows galleries and downloads — it isn't a proofing tool, so clients can't mark favourites or place print orders.

Photo limits count optimized photos across the whole site. Remove old client folders when a gallery expires to free space.

Questions

FolderBloom for photographers: FAQ

Can clients download full-resolution files?

Yes — on Gallery Plus and Pro, turn on “Allow full-resolution download” and the lightbox offers the original file. Individual files can be up to 100 MB, far more than a full-resolution photo needs.

Will big galleries slow down my website?

No. The gallery loads in its own frame, images load lazily at the right size, and optimized copies are typically 97% smaller than camera files.

Do I need to export web-sized copies?

No — drop in your normal high-quality exports. FolderBloom makes the web versions.
