ShutterYou shot it well. Hand it over just as well.
The client selects, the brand approves, and you know who downloaded what. One home for every recipient's photos — for years.
No card. You start with a 14-day trial on Pro limits, then choose: Free, Simple, Pro or Studio.
The photos are done. The trouble starts at delivery.
The shoot or the event is only half the job. The other half is emails, links that expire and questions you have no proof for.
The selection came by email. As a list of file numbers.
IN SHUTTERIDThe client marks frames in the gallery on their phone, a counter keeps them to the package, and the choice comes back signed.
A photo hit Instagram before anyone signed off on it.
IN SHUTTERIDThe artist or brand approves shot by shot. Rejected frames vanish before anyone can download them.
A year after the shoot: “I lost the link, could you send it again?”
IN SHUTTERIDA permanent link and a short code. The client comes back on their own — no digging through your drives.
The transfer link expired after a week. Or it’s doing the rounds in a group chat.
IN SHUTTERIDPasswords, view-only links and access you switch off in one click — without re-sending everything.
You don’t know who downloaded the photos or where they went next.
IN SHUTTERIDA visit and download log on every link. On Pro, recipients give a name and email before they download anything.
The licence was “agreed on the phone”. Then came the argument about publishing.
IN SHUTTERIDThe recipient accepts the licence terms before downloading, and the acceptance is stored with a date.
Three ways to hand over photos
Selection, approval, or one event split across many recipients — each with its own link and its own trail.

* On Free, a gallery that no live link has reached for 30 days goes to the trash for 7 days (you get two emails first) — restore it or send a new link. Leaving a paid plan deletes nothing at once: links get 30 days, and storage over the plan goes to the trash after 60 days, oldest galleries first. Passwords, private galleries, licences and the download log stay.
Prices exclude VAT, which is added at checkout where it applies. Stripe issues the invoice. Storage over the plan is on by default with a €10 monthly cap — switch it off or change the cap in Studio.
On the way
Coming to Pro and Studio, at no extra cost for those already paying.
The client orders prints straight from the gallery — no emails, no transfers.
The lab downloads print files without an account or you in the middle.
Films next to photos, with the same access and download rules.
Galleries at your address, e.g. photos.yourstudio.com.
Does the client need an account?
No. A link or a short code is the whole key. An account is optional — it keeps open libraries in one place so they survive a change of phone.
How does the 14-day trial work?
Every new account starts with a 14-day trial on Pro limits (20 GB), no card. After the trial you stay on the free plan (2 GB, links live 30 days) or choose Simple, Pro or Studio — nothing disappears overnight.
How is Simple different from Pro?
Simple is delivery to private clients: permanent links, passwords, Selects and a download log, files up to 2880 px. Pro adds what commercial work needs: originals, “who downloaded” with name and email first, a licence to accept, signed approvals and private galleries.
What if I run out of storage?
On Free uploads stop at 2 GB. On paid plans you keep uploading and pay per started GB of the month’s average over the plan (€0.10 on Simple, €0.06 on Pro and Studio). It is capped at €10 a month — change the cap or switch it off in Studio, so the invoice never surprises you.
Can I pay yearly?
Yes. A year costs ten months — two are free. Change plans any time: up at once, down at the end of the paid period.
Will I get an invoice with a VAT number?
Yes. Payments and invoices are handled by Stripe; you get an invoice with your VAT number and the right VAT on every payment.
Where do my photos live?
In the cloud, reachable only through signed, expiring URLs. There are no public file links and no ads or tracking.
Built by a photographer, not a software house
I shoot sport and events. I'd had enough of links that expire and "could you resend it?" a year after the shoot. ShutterID is the tool I wanted for myself: you hand over the photos once, and the control stays with you.
