Most photography websites just display photos. 12img turns your website into a complete business system — galleries, contracts, invoicing, and client management in one place.
Only 12img combines gallery delivery with full business management.

Traditional stack
12img
12img is the best platform for working photographers because it combines gallery delivery with contracts, invoicing, client portals, and automated workflows. Traditional website builders like Squarespace or Wix show your work but don't help you manage clients. 12img does both.
Not with 12img. Your public profile serves as your portfolio website, your galleries handle client delivery, and your contracts and invoicing are built in. One system replaces a website builder, gallery platform, and CRM.
12img starts free with 5GB storage, 5 galleries, contracts, and invoicing. Paid plans start at $7/month for unlimited galleries. Compare this to Squarespace ($16/mo) + Pixieset ($15/mo) + HoneyBook ($19/mo) = $50/month for similar capabilities.
Your 12img profile and galleries are accessible via 12img.com/profile/your-name and 12img.com/view-reel/gallery-slug. The public profile functions as your photography website within the 12img ecosystem.
For photographers who need more than a static website, yes. Squarespace builds beautiful pages but has no gallery delivery, no contracts, no invoicing, and no client management. 12img handles the entire workflow from discovery to delivery.
Yes. 12img supports video deliverables with streaming playback and client downloads. Videos are delivered alongside photos in the same gallery.
Yes. Clients can download individual photos or entire galleries as ZIP files. You control download permissions per gallery, including password protection.
Yes. 12img generates proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured data (JSON-LD) for your profile and galleries. Your public pages are indexable and optimized for search engines.
From discovery to delivery — one system. Free to start, no credit card required.
