If you’ve uploaded a gallery and would like your clients to download images, you can enable downloads, manage the download options and permissions.

Whether your clients need to download individual shots or the entire album, you can control and customize your gallery's download settings to best suit everyone's preferences.

Step 1: Access the Gallery Settings

  • In the gallery menu on the left, click on Downloads.

Step 2: Enable Downloads and Download Type Permissions

  • On the Downloads settings page, turn on the Enable Downloads toggle switch (to green), and more download options will appear.

  • In the Download Type and Size section, you can enable different download types:

    • All Images: Allows clients to download all images within the gallery at once.

    • Single Images: Allows clients to download individual images.

    • Videos: Allows clients to download videos.

    • Limited Quantity: Lets you control the number of images a client can download. The options All Images or Single Image cannot be enabled at the when Limited Quantity is enabled.

Tip: Consider your client’s needs when choosing download permissions. For example, if you’re sharing a large event album, clients might appreciate the option to download the entire gallery. Other clients may only need individual images.

Step 3: Select Image Size

Choosing the appropriate image size ensures that clients receive images in the quality they need, while also helping manage download times.

  • Next to the Download Type and Size section, select an image size option from the list:

    • Original Size is ideal for high-resolution needs.

    • X-Large Size is ideal for large prints like posters at 3200 pixels.

    • Medium Sizes down to 600 pixels are available for quicker downloads and smaller file sizes.

  • Once you’ve configured all download options and set the desired permissions, click on the Save button.

Note: To enable download permissions for specific gallery folders, see the next section.

Step 4: Enable Downloads for Specific Folders (Optional)

If your gallery contains multiple folders, such as one for high-resolution images and another folder for web-quality images, you may want to enable downloads for certain folders only. This helps keep your download options organized for clients.

  • Go to the Settings By Folder section.

  • Click on Selected Folders and turn on the toggle switch next to the folder(s) you would like to enable downloads for.

  • Once you’re done with your gallery download settings, click on the Save button.

  • After saving, preview your gallery. You should see download icons on individual images, as well as an option to download the entire gallery if you enabled it.​
