Pixieset Tutorial: How I setup & deliver photo galleries to clients! 

This is the right way to make a tutorial. Everything I need to get started in a clear format in one video.

This video is amazing, you explain everything in such an easy way. I’m sold! Thank you very much! This is exactly what I was looking for! 🙌🏽📸

this was insanely helpful. Just uploaded my first collection from a family shoot this past week. So glad I found this website and this dope video! Thanks so much xx

Thank you so much! Just created the account, super easy and friendly to use! Love your tutorials keep it up!

Wow, you went above and beyond!! Thank you SO much for this!!

Just created an account, searched something on RU-vid and your the first video I watched. Thank you so much for the guide as it was so easy to follow! I don't normally comment on things so keep up the good work!

Thank you for demonstrating Pixieset! I've been looking for a smooth, professional platform to get photos to my clients AND having a way for them to order. This is PERFECT for me. Again, thank you!

Thank you for this video! It was so informational and helpful, you did a great job of explaining how to navigate the website

This was helpful! I am starting out as a youth sports photographer and this video so helpful! Will definitely use your link when I am ready to go live with my website.

Thank you for this tutorial! Super easy to understand, and this video is the sole reason I'll be shifting my website over to Pixieset!

Thanx man... Helped me out a hard spot with the sharing issue.

This was an excellent review tutorial.

Thanks so much! This was amazing and very helpful!

You are amazing. Thank you for sharing all this information.

Thank you so much for the video. It's really helpful!

Super helpful! Great video, super simple. Next steps: set up my store and download the Lightroom plugin.

Ryan your intro/outro music gives me goose bumps 😫. Thanks for this video.

Thank you for this video

Wowww, thank u for this info! I didn't know It. I'm gonna check if I can use It, anyway... I put this video on my list :) Peaceeeee 💥💥💥

Thank you so much for this awesome about this software I’m gonna start using it

Great breakdown. Finding the right platform is a chore. This was very helpful.

Thank you!!!

Very helpful I'm sold n that's what I was hoping for instead of trying different ones thanks

Thank you! This was very helpfull.

Very helpful!

Hey Ryan! I was looking for a Pixieset tutorial and I landed here. In a channel that I already follow, watch many videos and for some reason just now I discover that you are a Kelowna fellow, yay! Thank you for putting such nice content together. I work with food photography around here. Maybe we will bump into each other one of these days :)

very nice, you sold me, thanks

Great video!!!!

veryyy helpful!! thank you

very helpful, Thank you

Thanks ! I gave up weeddings due to ill health and somebody wants me to do a gallery for a wedding i am doing in August 21 this is a great tutorial

Thank you 🥺

You are the best.

Thank you!

Thank you!!!! What more can I say.

Great start to the video ... wish you would have provided instructions on how to set up the collection like weddings and then different sessions within the weddings. I do a number of cancer organization events through out the year (like Easter, Christmas, gala's etc.). Would like to know how to set up and organize these events 1) by year; 2) my event, 3) and subsets of events.???

Thanks

Thxxxxx

Hey Ryan, thanks for sharing this, it’s helped me a ton! Question for you. Do you use Pixieset for your website?

This was amazing! Very well done! Does it integrate with FB pixel might you know?

Thank you very much, you ve met my day. Pls can l ve the template you promiss.

Thanks for your tutorial. If you wanted to make a 'wedding' portfolio album from the your various albums. How would you go about creating one?

Nice to see someone else utilizing Pixieset like I am! But I do have a few questions since I see you’ve been using it for years. After you do a shoot, do you have a set amount of pics you agree to send to the clients or however many you like? If you do allow them to choose, do you have a way of letting them pick which ones they want or do you pick the best ones in your eyes? I thought about using the favorites list to get them to pick which ones they really want. But I also don’t want to upload a whole bunch of raw files for them to choose from. Sorry I know it’s a lot lol I just haven’t found many people using Pixieset like me. Thanks again for the video!

Could you make a video in detail on how to set it up to sell photo packages. Which lab to choose and how would that work! Thks

Thanks for demonstrating pixieset. I just noticed that you have a typo in the email template shown in the video (I don't know whether this has been corrected in your download link). In the email template shown in the video you start with "Its the moment...", whereas it should be "It's the moment..." (with apostrophe, short for IT IS = IT'S).

how do you re-edit your clients photos using the lightroom cc plug in? I have everything set up...just don't know how to pull the favorite list from pixie set to LR

Hey buddy! Thank you for uploading this content! Would it be a good idea sharing small files with the client and then delivering all the high resolution photos in a pen drive? I feel sharing all high resolution photos may hit your 10GB - 100GB easily and we wouldn't have available storage for other clients

What dimensions/resolution do you recommend when uploading the photos to Pixieset? I know for social media use the photos should be exported at 2,048 pixels and 72 for resolution, and then it is different for prints. But which one should we choose when uploading them here since clients will most likely do a combo of both?

Thanks so much for this video! It was a big help. Also, how could I download the e-mail templates? I clicked the links in the links and neither took me to them. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the very helpful video (like all your stuff). For the life of me I cannot figure out how you added the banner with the discount code for free shipping of orders over $150. I love the idea and want to utilize it myself. Thanks...Sean

What size do I change the raw files once edited to JPEG in order to upload on pixieset ?? I’m stuck here.

Hi. Thanks so much for the video! I'm also Canadian and was curious how the pricing works for printing. (1) Do the prints ship from the USA or Canada (2) Do you give high res digital print resolution files to your clients in your wedding packages or they have to pay per photo for a high res file? (3) which photo print companies do the printing on behalf of Pixieset and do they ship automatically in Canada? Thanks !!!

Thank you for the video! 🙏 One question: I am struggling to make the preview/highlights (whatever they're called) private. I choose the privacy option, but then it shows this:What is a public photo set? And. how do I make the entire collection private (I want people to only see the cover photo, and would need the password to access and other photos)? THANK YOU

Hey! Thank you so much for this video, I was wondering if you stop paying after using it for a month, will your clients also lose the images? Or will the gallery still be there?

Wishing that the Splash Cover page was just that a splash page that once you hit open it advances not through scroll.

That's great service thanks! but I personally prefer Gallerysend, It Is much faster and straight forward, and what's more important is cheaper!

are these plans you show correspond to the client gallery plans or the suite?

Hello Thanks for this intro. I have a question. On the "free" plan will clients be able to favourite images and I get to know which images they have choses for me to fully edit for them?

Thank you for this very informative video. Where can I find your email template ? Thank you!

Thanks for this tutorial. I have a question. When I import my images into Pixieset they don't import in sequence, they get all jumbled up and I have to manually move them (pixieset's move tool is unbearable!) I noticed that your filename's were renamed with the couples names then numbers, how did you do this? I hope that made sense. Thanks so much!

A question I have is if I sell a package with 100 photos how do I deliver those images plus still have images inside of the gallery that they can purchase for an extra fee?

Is Pixieset still a good option in 2023? I have used SmugMug for a while now but it has a very annoying issue with google indexing thus I'm looking to replace it. I have researched many web site builders (carbonmade, zenfolio, showit, etc) but I'm still not convinced. Thank you for the video and all the insight. Cheers.

Thank you so much for sharing this video! I am very new on this business, but I've taken good photos already to share with my friends and start building up my portfolio. I really need some good advice and I would be totally pleased with your help. I've done portraits, events photography (not weddings yet), boudoir photography, and friends that are selling lingerie clothing, solo, and couples photographs My question is: do I have to always edit all my photos? Or just when I feel the need for a simple adjustment of lighting or balance? I am mentioning this because with Event photos or family photos, they are almost more than 100 photos that look amazing out of the camera, and for me to edit each one will demand a huge amount of time 😔 As I am a beginner, I am going to start charging only for an hour or 2 photo shootings in order to gain more experience and people to know my photos. But this option was without editing as it will be at a very affordable price and delivery of around 50-100 great photos. I really appreciate anyone with their best advice, thanks!

I have used Pixieset for a few years but did not know about certain features. Thank you so much! Question...I am interested in creating a website, store, gallery all through Pixieset and I am stuck on transferring my domain name. Do you utilize their website option as well? The cname in particular.

I see there's an annual plan, but is it billed monthly? Can you cancel at anytime or are you committing to a year-long agreement?

Hey I am wondering how to apply the water mark ? I want to send gallerias to clients but don't want them just taking screen shots on there phones.

what if i don’t want then to add to cart, only download? they would’ve already paid me for them

Can you add a “Shop Feature” using the Pixieset Website? For example a shopping cart for them to buy photo gift cards from my website? I want to make it easy for my clients to purchase directly from my website. Thank you

So, is there no option to upsell digital downloads? Clients almost always will pay for extra images from their mini sessions.

How to make sub folders for your weddings?!

No one really orders prints anymore. I'd like to find something that charges them per photo download. I used to included all images but now want to charge only for what they want.

Hello, +Signature Edits. Thanks for the info in Pixieset. I'm strongly considering purchasing the platform. My client already paid for their pics which will be edited in Lightroom. I just want to give her the ability to go to Pixieset & download her fav pics. Is this possible? Thank you.

Hi! How can i limit the downloads to 10? I often give more photos with 10 included and option to purchase more

Thanks so much! I'm just starting out and this was very helpful! I do have one question. What if you do a mini session and take say 50 photos and your fee only includes 5, with option to purchase more. You want to show all of the photos so they can choose which 5 they would like. How to you disable them downloading the photos so you can then enable only the ones they choose later? Is this possible with PixieSet and if not, do you have any other suggestions?

Do you know how to set it up so the collection expires in that 6 month time frame?

Who do you use for your website?

Just wondering how you handle an upfront charge like $1200 to cover costs, etc? Do you set a limit within Pixieset so it handles all payments or charge them separately/outside of the app? Thanks!

Is this useful only with the Lightroom edits or PHotoshop as well? Thx

Are you able to add a print release or do you add it to the email template?

what export settings do you use to get lower numbered mb's? from lightroom classic they uplaod at almost 20 mb and I will run out of storage way too soon.

I have some holiday Minis that i would like to upset! the price they already paid comes with 10 digital downloads ! how to i make it so the client can download their 10 favorites and then get charged per additional photo ?

If I send someone the link & they open it on their phone ... can they download them or does it have to be on a laptop or desktop? Thanks!

Hi there, I shoot Mountain Bike competitions and would wanted to use Pixiset as a solution for the competitors to access, purchase and download their images. So my questions is, would Pixiset be suitable for this as there are 300+ competitors and I would like all of them to have access to the images and be able to buy them? Thank you for your help and for uploading this straight forward video. Ingo

Where can I find the templets

Beginner user here- I have exported my photos from Lightroom to my computer all as Jpegs. I began the upload process on pixieset and only a few fully uploaded. The rest had an error message. I exported all of them the exact same. What did I do wrong?

I am trying to find out how the client can download only there favourites images, I got Limit for images they can have, depends what package they choose with me. how do you do that?

hey there, I see you are using this for proofing and delivery, what are you using to host your website?

I recently had a problem with pixieset. They promised me 3000+ photos. I was only able to upload around 700 before going over storage space. I did not upload in raw (doesn't allow you to) all my images were converted to jpeg. So why am I running out of space ? If you have a better way to upload so I'm not running out of space. Please let me know

What settings are currently best in 2023 to upload to Pixieset from LrC?

Are you able to upload raw images to pixieset

Can I use my PayPal acount for money to go into if client orders prints?

Hi where can I find the email templates you mentioned please?

when I try to connect my Lightroom to pixieset it wont allow me to do it even when I upload on LR and save the edit pic to reupload it that don't work either

I understand you described how to set prices to order prints and other physicals items but can you set a price for the client to pay before they can download a gallery?

thanks. where are the templates you talked about?

Good video, thanks! I am now just learning about Pixieset. I feel I come from the old school and that is to meet clients in my studio and show them a slide show with music. I am also scared of selling high resolution images so they can enlarge in any size and I won't get a cut. After spending years in college and years of experience to be where I am at today and just give away the copy right to a client who can enlarge it to any size doesn't seem right to me. I started my studio in '92 and nobody that I knew gave out their negatives to their wedding or family clients. That's how we made our money. The time of the photo session and what they ordered. I saw your print price list and those prices are a lot lower than what it was 30 years ago. But the cameras, lenses, lighting equipment has gone up. Back then I could buy a Hasselblad or a Mamiya RZ 67 and keep it for 20 years without it breaking down. Now it seems like the cameras needs to be replaced so often. And then we have the programs that we have to subscribe to. I think it's a lot more expensive today then for 30 years ago but the price we sell is cheaper. I would love to know today's ¨secret¨ on how to keep clients happy and still get a good salary. Is it that you charge 5000 - 10000 dollars for the service and give more? Photography pricing and service has changed so much that I have a hard time to follow. I know that many new starters here where I live started with very low prices and ruined the market and after a year or two they were gone and left us dealing with now the clients who are used to pay less. Anyway, I would like to know the new strategy in pricing and service. Ok, thanks for reading this. :) Now I will check out more of your videos. :)

I m sorry, not quite clear on the concept. All the photos must be in jpg. format, correct? I shoot in RAW, so I need to convert them first before editing? Than somehow the client needs to access their file [how?], pick and choose, what they want, or I choose which pics to give them, and already create a gallery with the edited ones? confused. thx

Some one PLEASE HELP! In one gallery, I want to sell a package but also give the option to sell single photos for a different price as a way to upsell single additional photos. I can not figure out how to do this with the price sheet!
