About Zenfolio

Zenfolio is a hosted platform for working photographers that combines a portfolio website, client galleries and online sales. Clients can view, favourite and comment on images for proofing, then buy prints and digital downloads that are fulfilled by integrated labs such as Miller's, Mpix and Bay Photo, or by the photographer. Higher plans add booking and scheduling with invoicing and online payments, automated marketing campaigns, team members and a Volume Wizard with QR codes for school, sports and event photography. A Lightroom plugin and AI-assisted gallery tagging help with organising work. Plans are tiered by storage and features and billed monthly or yearly, with a free trial that doesn't need a card; selling adds a per-order commerce fee. RAW files aren't stored, as it is built for finished images. It suits portrait, wedding and volume photographers who want site, galleries and store under one subscription.

Best for: Portrait, wedding and event photographers who want website, galleries and print sales in one plan.
