Share a few photos with a vendor

A shared set is a hand-picked group of photos with its own link.

Create one

1. Select the photos.
2. Click Share on the bottom bar.
3. Name the set. The person you send it to sees that name.

You get a link. Copy it, or email it from the same window: enter their address, add an optional note, and it sends with your studio’s branding and your reply-to address.

The link’s address

The link is made from the gallery’s name and the set’s name, so a set called “The Grand View” in the gallery “Callen & Taylor” is galleries.getfocl.app/s/callen-taylor-the-grand-view.

To change it, click Edit next to the address, type a new one and click Save. Letters, numbers and dashes only, 3 to 60 characters. If another link already uses that address, you’ll be asked to pick a different one.

Changing the address never breaks a link you have already sent: the old address keeps working, and so does the long link from before addresses existed.

What the recipient sees

Only those photos, laid out and styled like the gallery they came from: the same cover style, fonts, colours and grid you chose on the gallery’s Design tab, plus your contact links. They do not get into the gallery and they do not need the gallery password.

They can download:

• One photo, from the photo view.
• A few at once, with Select, then Save. On a phone this goes straight to their camera roll.
• Everything, with Download all. Sets of up to 30 photos download straight away. Bigger sets are packaged and emailed as one link; if it doesn’t arrive within a few minutes, it’s worth checking the spam folder.

Couple-only photos, photos the couple hid from guests, and photos in a hidden section are never shown or downloaded, even if you selected them.

Turn a link off

Open the gallery, then Settings → Privacy. Shared links lists every link you have handed out, where you can edit an address or click Turn off. Turning one off stops that link immediately, at every address it has had.
