How-to: Upload Link

Collect photos from your team with one link

Your photographers open one link and send their photos, folders and all. You get an email, give the event a name and a price, and it goes live on your site.

Included on every paid plan. Last checked September 26, 2026.

Once

per photo. The same photo sent twice to one folder is skipped.

Storage

Photos count toward your plan's storage like any upload.

Do photographers need a PixVend account?
No. The link only lets them send photos. They can't see or change anything else in your store.
Can they send folders from a phone?
Phones pick photos, not folders. On a computer they can choose a whole folder or drag it onto the page, and every folder inside is kept.
Do the photos get my watermark?
Yes. They go through the same processing as your own uploads: watermark, thumbnails and every size.
Two photographers covered the same event. Can I combine them?
Each person's batch arrives as its own draft. Publish them as separate galleries, such as Court 1 and Court 2, and pick the same event folder for both.
