Sharing is the moment when your work comes to life on your clients' screens. Pelli offers several channels: it's up to you to choose the most convenient one depending on the situation.
Key points 💡
Share via link, QR code, email or SMS
The link is at the top of the gallery, copiable in one click
For permanent access, attach the gallery to the account of your client
Your clients can re-share the gallery (link, social media), only if the photographer authorizes this sharing; never with a personal link or one containing a password or token
Remember to publish your gallery so that it's accessible
At the top of each gallery, the link (yourname.pelli.io/gallery-name) is copiable in one click : send it via WhatsApp, Messenger, email… however you like. A QR code is also downloadable (printable in A4 size), perfect for your flyers or paper materials. If the gallery is password-protected, you can include it in the link for direct access. Do not forward or publish a personal invitation or sign-in link, or a link containing a password or access token: it may grant access to whoever holds it. Each recipient should receive their own access.
Sending by email dispatches an invitation in your colors (your logo, your name). You benefit from autocomplete for your clients (type the first few letters), a customizable message, and reusable email templates (Pro and Ultra plans). Your client receives a direct link, not a generic message.
For clients more responsive to SMS: select a contact or enter a number, the message is pre-filled with the link and customizable. Sending uses SMS credits (1 SMS = 160 characters); if your balance is insufficient, Pelli offers to top it up.
Rather than a simple link, you can attach the gallery to your client's account (by email). It then appears in their "My galleries" area, accessible at all times even if they lose the link. Ideal when several people access the same gallery (the newlyweds, the parents, a vendor): each one has their own access, and you can remove any of them at any time. Restricting downloads does not make a gallery private. To reserve viewing for your clients, use private status and grant access to the relevant clients; download settings are separate. Test protection in a new private browsing window, signed out of both photographer and client accounts, using the gallery's clean URL without a password or token and without opening a personal invitation or sign-in link.
From the gallery, your clients can themselves share its link and spread it on social media (X, LinkedIn). You can also generate share links that only give access to certain folders of the gallery, so you only show what you want.
Your client clicks the link and arrives directly on your gallery: your colors, your banner, your logo. No Pelli home page, no advertising, no distraction. It's your world.

Viewing a public gallery may be possible without email identification. This does not apply to every action: email identification may be requested for favorites, comments, selections or downloads, depending on the flow and settings. An individual public download does not always require an email. Protected or private galleries remain subject to their access requirements.
