How it works

Four workflows. One dashboard.

Each step lives in Shutter. Nothing falls through the cracks because there are no cracks.

01Gallery Delivery

Deliver the gallery

No more ZIP files. No more Dropbox links v3_FINAL.

Drag your folder in. Shutter processes, optimizes, and delivers a stunning branded gallery to your client — with a password, a deadline, and a download limit you control. They get a link. You get peace.

02Client Proofing

Client selects. You deliver.

Proofing that actually works on a phone at 11pm.

Clients tap to select favorites from any device. No logins, no downloads, no "which photo was number 47 again?" You see selections in real time. Automatic reminders chase them so you don't have to.

"I was sending gallery links from five different services and chasing payment through Venmo like I was splitting a dinner tab. Shutter replaced all of it. My clients think I hired an assistant. I didn't."

"Art directors want round-seventeen revisions by yesterday. Before Shutter, every revision round was a new email thread, a new Dropbox folder, a new chance for something to get lost. Now it's one link. One thread. Zero lost files."

"I am the front desk, the retoucher, the bookkeeper, and the IT department. Shutter is the first tool that actually understood that. Setup took 20 minutes. I've been using it for nine months and I still haven't needed IT."
