Most proofing tools rent you access. This one you own.

Most photo delivery platforms put your galleries on their servers and bill you for it every month. ProofingGallery is a plugin you buy once — the gallery it builds is yours, and it doesn't need their servers to work.

Subscription platforms
  • Monthly or annual fees, indefinitely
  • Your images live on their servers
  • Clients log into their interface
  • Storage tiers and upgrade prompts
  • Platform branding on your delivery

Everything a proofing gallery needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Built for photographers who want their clients to have a clean, fast way to choose favorites — without adopting a whole new platform to do it.

No subscriptions

One license, unlimited galleries, forever. Build as many as you want without a recurring bill.

Self-contained gallery

Everything lives in a single HTML file. No login for your client, no third-party service in between.

Fully offline

Once downloaded, the gallery works with no internet connection. It opens instantly, anywhere.

Rating and notes

Clients rate photos with stars and leave notes directly in the gallery — no separate spreadsheet.

One click, both ways

Client exports selects and notes with one click, no account. You import them back into Lightroom with one click too.

Your branding

Your logo, name, accent color, and watermark — the client's whole experience reflects your work.

Shoot to client selects.

The whole round trip stays inside the workflow you already use.

01

Build the gallery in Lightroom

Filter to the photos you want to send, then build a gallery from the Library module. ProofingGallery exports and assembles a single HTML file.

02

Send the file

Deliver it however you already share files — Dropbox, WeTransfer, Google Drive. A ready-to-send client email template is generated with it.

03

Client rates and exports selects

They open the file in a browser, rate and note their favorites, then click Export to send back a small file of their picks — no account needed at any point.

04

Import with one click

Bring their selects back into Lightroom. Ratings and notes land on the right photos automatically — noted photos are flagged as Picks.

A few things people ask.

Does my client need to create an account?

No. They receive a single HTML file and open it directly in any browser. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install.

What happens to my images — are they uploaded anywhere?

No. The gallery file goes straight from your computer to your client through whatever file-sharing method you already use. Nothing touches a third-party server.

Is this a subscription?

No. It's a one-time purchase of $29.95. You can build unlimited galleries after that, for as long as you use the plugin.

Do I need Lightroom Classic?

Yes, ProofingGallery is a plugin for Lightroom Classic specifically. It's not compatible with Lightroom (cloud) or other editors.

How do I send the gallery to my client?

ProofingGallery builds a single self-contained HTML file. Send it however you'd share any large file — a cloud storage link, a transfer service, or a shared drive — and your client just opens it in their browser.
