Galleries
Galleries are how you deliver your finished photos to clients. Each gallery is a private, branded page with its own link, ready to share the moment you publish it.
What a gallery gives you
- A branded presentation. Choose a cover layout, typeface, color set and grid so the gallery looks like your work, not a generic file dump.
- Organized photos. Group photos into chapters like "Ceremony", "Reception" and "Portraits".
- Control over who sees it. Open to anyone with the link, lock it with a password, or give your client a second private password of their own. See Passwords and access.
- Client selections. Visitors tap the star on a photo to build collections, then send them back to you with notes.
- Downloads on your terms. Decide whether clients can download, at what size, and behind a PIN if you want.
- A record of what happened. Downloads, collections, registered emails and private photos all land in the Activity tab.
The gallery editor
Open a gallery and you get four tabs:
| Tab | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Chapters | Upload, organize, reorder, move and delete photos, chapter by chapter |
| Layout | The cover image and the four design controls, with a live preview |
| Settings | Sharing, Access, Downloads, Collections, Experience and Details |
| Activity | Downloads, Collections, Email Registration and Private Photos |
The header carries the gallery name, a pencil to rename it and the status badge. Beside them sit a Preview button, the Publish or Share button, and a ⋯ menu holding Email history and Delete gallery. On a narrow screen the Preview and Publish or Share buttons move into that menu too.
Your gallery's web address
Every gallery lives at a clean link:
yourname.corehue.co/gallery-name
The first part is your CoreHue username. The second part is the gallery's link name, which you edit in the Gallery URL field under Settings → Sharing. If you have connected a custom domain, your galleries open on that address too.
Gallery statuses
A gallery is always in one of three states:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Draft | Only you can see it. Use this while you upload, organize and design. Everyone else sees a page saying it cannot be found. |
| Published | Live and ready to share, with whatever access settings you have chosen. |
| Unlisted | Taken offline. The link stops working, and the gallery and its photos stay safe in your account. You can publish it again whenever you like. |
You publish a gallery once it is ready. After that the status badge flips between Published and Unlisted. A gallery never goes back to Draft.
A gallery has to be published before you can share it. On an unlisted gallery the Share button is greyed out until you publish again.
What your client sees
When someone opens your gallery link they land on a full cover page with your design. Depending on your settings they may first choose Client access or Guest access, enter a password, or give their email. Inside they find the chapter strip and your photos in a clean grid. They also get the tools you left switched on: collections, sharing, a slideshow and downloads.
Storage and file types
Your photos count toward your plan's storage: 100 GB on Core and 1 TB on Pro. What counts is the total size of everything you upload.
Supported formats are JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and GIF, up to 50 MB per photo. HEIC, HEIF, TIFF and RAW files are not accepted, so export to JPEG first.
