A portfolio site that looks designed. Not templated.

Keptfolio works with Adobe Lightroom Classic (the desktop version) 6 and later, on both macOS and Windows. It is not compatible with the cloud-based "Lightroom" (formerly Lightroom CC).

Those are site builders. The workflow is: export your edits, then build and arrange the site by hand in their editor - and redo it every time your photos change. Adobe Portfolio has no Lightroom Classic plugin at all.

Keptfolio builds the site straight from your Lightroom galleries. Publish and it's live. Re-publish and it updates. There's no separate builder to learn and nothing to keep in sync by hand.

No. That's the whole point. If you can make a collection in Lightroom, you can publish a portfolio. Pick a style in your browser, fill in your name and a short about, and publish.

Your site is hosted at yourname.keptfolio.com. Custom domains (yourname.com) are on the roadmap - tell us if you need one and it moves up the list.

Yes, anytime. There's a library of art-directed templates - flagship designs for weddings, fashion, travel, food, family, architecture, fine-art, landscape, portrait, and street work, plus the originals - and each comes in five color schemes from light to dark. A shelf of named color palettes works on any template. Switching is one click in your browser and never re-uploads your photos; only the design changes.

Yes. After you pick a template, you decide what your home page opens with: a full-screen cover photo, a split of your best image beside your name, a crossfading slideshow, or a clean start with no hero at all. You can also show a "Kind words" section of client reviews and an About page, or switch either off. It's all toggles in your browser - no template locks you in.

Yes. You can upload a short looping video (MP4, up to 10 MB) as your hero, and it plays subtly on desktop over your cover photo. On phones, or for visitors who prefer reduced motion, it quietly falls back to the still image, so your site stays fast and calm. Add or replace it anytime in your browser.

Yes - two of the three gallery types are exactly that. Review and Client download galleries stay off your menu, home page, and search engines, and open only with the passphrase you set right in Lightroom when you pick the type (a friendly one is suggested for you). Your Portfolio galleries stay public - that is your website.

Not from your portfolio - your public site is display-only, with no download buttons anywhere. Handing files to a client is its own gallery type: a Client download gallery delivers the true full-resolution JPEGs behind a private link and passphrase - see the next question.

Yes. In Lightroom, set a gallery's Gallery type to Client download (right-click the collection, then Edit Collection). Publishing then sends the true full-resolution JPEGs - full quality, never watermarked - alongside the web copies. On the site your client gets a Download button on every photo and a Download all button that delivers the whole album as a ZIP (very large albums split into numbered parts automatically). It is all included in the plan - no extra tier, no per-delivery fee. Files are always JPEG, not RAW.

You pick the window - 3, 7, or 28 days (7 by default), counted from the moment your client first downloads. When it ends, the album leaves your site and its full-size files are deleted, and the link shows a tasteful "no longer available - contact the photographer" page. A gallery nobody ever downloads comes down 90 days after publishing, so nothing lingers. This self-cleaning is the point: your deliveries stay tidy and private, and full-size files never pile up. Need to send it again? Just publish the collection from Lightroom and it re-delivers with a fresh window. You can also end a delivery early with Expire now in the editor.

Yes. Download galleries are hidden from your public site - out of your menu, your home page, and search engines - and protected by the passphrase you set in Lightroom. You share the direct link yourself (there's a Copy client link button in the browser editor) along with the passphrase.

You can have up to 4,000 full-resolution photos live at once across all your download galleries - generous enough for several wedding deliveries running at the same time. It exists only to keep storage in check, not as a smaller "plan", and photos in expired galleries stop counting the moment they come down. If you ever need more, just contact us and we'll gladly raise it.

Yes - make the collection a Review gallery in Lightroom and send its one private link with the passphrase. It opens straight onto a rating page: 1 to 5 stars, favorite Picks, and notes on every photo - right in their browser, no account needed, and their progress keeps as they go. When they submit, you run Fetch Review Ratings in Lightroom and their stars and picks land on the actual photos in your catalog. If several people review, none of them see each other's choices, and the proofing set never appears on your public portfolio.

Plenty. You can have up to 500 galleries on your site, and each gallery holds up to 2,000 photos - room for even a huge wedding without splitting it up. Individual images can be up to 30 MB. These are generous limits to keep everything running smoothly, not a smaller "plan" - if you ever need more for any reason, just contact us and we'll gladly raise them.

Keptfolio is $49 a year, billed yearly. If we ever change the price, we'll give notice, and any change applies to future renewals only - never to a year you've already paid for. You can cancel anytime.

Nothing sudden. If your subscription lapses you get a 14-day grace period, then your site goes offline - not deleted. Your images are kept for another 30 days, so renewing brings everything back automatically. You can export or unpublish your work at any time, so you're never locked in.

No. Nothing about your originals or your catalog changes. Keptfolio reads your galleries and publishes web-sized copies. Your master files stay in Lightroom, untouched.

Your published, web-sized photos are hosted so visitors can see your site - that's what a portfolio is for. Your original files and your catalog never leave Lightroom, and location data (GPS) is stripped from every published image. See the Keptfolio Privacy Policy for details.

Yes - 14-day money-back guarantee. If Keptfolio is not for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund. After that you can cancel anytime and your work exports with you - nothing is locked in. Full terms on the Terms of Service page.
