Mobile client galleries
Let clients open a gallery link on a phone, browse a phone-sized layout, switch folders, favorite photos, and download files when downloads are enabled.
How it works
Use this when galleries are likely to be opened from text messages, email invites, social DMs, or any client handoff where the first device is a phone.
SendPhoto mobile optimization is built for how clients actually receive gallery links: email invites, text messages, social DMs, and family shares.
Photographers do not need a separate mobile app or a second delivery page just because a client starts on a phone. SendPhoto customer galleries adapt the cover, navigation, image grid, lightbox, and client actions across phone, tablet, and desktop screens.

Practical setup
Client galleries are often opened from email, text, or a direct message. Mobile support needs to cover the first screen, folder navigation, image browsing, favorites, downloads, and large-gallery loading.
Many clients do not wait until they are at a desktop to open a gallery. Mobile-friendly gallery delivery should handle that first open without making the client pinch, hunt for folders, or leave the gallery to download files.
SendPhoto customer galleries can use cover and gallery layouts that adapt across phone, tablet, and desktop screens, with mobile cover image support when a phone-specific cover is available.
When a gallery has multiple collections, clients can use mobile folder controls to move between sections. If downloads are allowed, a download action can be shown from the same mobile control area.
A mobile-friendly gallery needs to support the full review flow. Clients can open images, move through the set, favorite photos, and filter the gallery to liked photos.
SendPhoto galleries use lazy-loaded thumbnails and loading previews while images load. Larger galleries can load more items as the client approaches the end of the current gallery view.
Mobile optimization should respect the photographer's delivery settings. SendPhoto shows download actions only when the gallery allows downloads, and mobile download states can show progress, ready, retry, and failure labels.
Wedding galleries where couples forward the link to family and friends
Portrait proofing where clients favorite selects before final delivery
Event galleries where attendees open the gallery soon after the event
Use this checklist before sending a gallery link that clients are likely to open from a phone.
| Scenario | Recommended setup | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Client opens from a text message | Use a readable mobile cover and phone-ready gallery layout | The first screen should feel like the real delivery experience, not a reduced preview. |
| Gallery has multiple folders | Use collections with mobile folder controls | Clients can move between sections without scrolling back to the top or switching devices. |
| Client needs to choose favorites | Use favorites and liked-photo filtering | Proofing can happen from the same gallery even when the client starts on a phone. |
| Downloads are final delivery only | Keep downloads off for proofing, then enable them for final delivery | Proofing and final delivery do not have to behave the same way by accident. |
| Gallery is large | Rely on lazy thumbnails, loading previews, and continued loading | Clients can keep browsing without a manual page step interrupting every section. |
Mobile optimization means the client gallery is designed to work on phone-sized screens. SendPhoto supports mobile gallery navigation, responsive cover and gallery layouts, phone-aware lightbox behavior, favorites, folder browsing, and download actions when downloads are enabled.
No. Clients can open a SendPhoto gallery link in a browser. The page should not require a separate native app just so clients can browse photos from a phone.
Yes. When a gallery has multiple collections, SendPhoto can show mobile folder controls that open a collection selector. This helps clients move between sections of a wedding, portrait, event, or commercial gallery from a phone.
Yes. Clients can like or favorite photos in the gallery and filter the gallery to liked images. This is useful for proofing, selecting favorites, and narrowing a larger gallery from a phone.
Yes, when downloads are enabled for the gallery and the item supports download. SendPhoto can show mobile download actions and download states such as progress, ready, retry, or failure.
SendPhoto supports lazy-loaded thumbnails, loading previews, and continued loading as clients browse larger galleries. Actual loading still depends on the gallery, device, browser, and network connection.
