Why Image Depot

A straight answer, not a highlight reel: here's what's actually different about running your galleries here.

You keep what you charge

Free is 3% commission on sales -- enough to keep the free tier from being pure cost with no path to revenue. Every paid plan, starting at Starter ($10/mo), is 0% commission. No exceptions, no fine print, no "0% up to a cap." Connect your own Square account and client purchases settle straight to your bank -- Image Depot never holds or touches the money.

No photo-count wall

A tournament weekend can mean thousands of frames from one photographer alone. Every plan's storage is a real, generous quota sized for that -- not a per-photo tier you outgrow mid-season. If you do hit your limit, you're never forced to start deleting client work: archive an older gallery for a flat $5/mo and keep everything, freed from your active quota.

Your brand, start to finish

Every gallery carries your logo, your accent color, and your own subdomain -- or, on Solo and up, your own custom domain entirely. Clients see your studio, not a third-party tool wearing your name.

A real exit, not a lock-in

Your full library is exportable on demand, on every plan including Free. It's a guarantee, not a roadmap promise -- see the Data, Storage & Backup Policy for exactly how it works.

Built for volume, not just galleries

Every upload is content-verified (SHA-256) end to end, so nothing quietly corrupts on its way in. Sports and event photographers can bulk-create a whole tournament's worth of galleries at once instead of one at a time -- see Grow Your Business.
