Proofing
Share proofs with confidence
Send a watermarked proof gallery first. When you are ready to deliver finals, update the gallery and publish again — the link stays the same.
What is an online proof gallery?
An online proof gallery is a web page where clients review watermarked photos before final delivery. In Folio you share one link, protect it with a password or expiry date if you need to, then turn off the watermark and publish again to deliver the finals on the same link.
Protection
Protected work that still looks the part
Apply a text or image watermark while the gallery stays clean and easy to browse. Paid plans can also cap viewing and download resolution.
Controls
Dial in the details once
Set the password, expiry date, downloads, and watermark before you share, with resolution caps on paid plans. Change the settings later without sending a new link.
