Wfolio

Wfolio is a web-based platform for photographers combining a portfolio site, client galleries, delivery, and sales tools. It suits photographers who want clients to select and receive work—or buy products and services—alongside a branded web presence. Its appeal is the breadth of that package; the free plan is temporary and has no website.

Overview

Wfolio brings website building, file storage, content management, and client-facing tools into one no-code service. Its audience includes portrait, wedding, landscape, and studio photographers. Keeping portfolio pages and client delivery together is most useful for working photographers who regularly share shoots and manage image selection. Those who need only a simple portfolio may find the gallery and sales capabilities unnecessary.

Key features

Website and portfolio

The builder offers ready-made templates, more than 100 content blocks, font and color choices, custom-domain support, and tools to promote a site in Google search. Site + Galleries adds unlimited pages, a personal blog, and a portfolio. That combination gives photographers room to present work and publish updates, but the free plan does not include a website.

Galleries, delivery, and sales

Client galleries support photo and video delivery, client photo selection, RAW files, and video files. Galleries also include secure links, passwords, and watermarks, with options to protect photos and videos from downloads and manage page privacy. The file limit is 25 GB per file. These tools suit photographers who need to deliver work and let clients choose images; they are less consequential for someone building a portfolio without a client-delivery workflow.

Wfolio also supports storefronts for products and services, inquiries, and online payments. Gallery plans include Lightroom and Capture One export, face recognition to help clients find and download photos, and AI photo retouching. Together, these features give photographers more ways to manage and monetize delivery without separating those tasks from the gallery service.

Privacy and support

Wfolio says its privacy practices align with the EU GDPR and California CCPA. For personal data collected through a site built with the service, the site owner is the data controller and Wfolio is the data processor. Support includes a knowledge base and video guides; Wfolio also says it migrates photographer and videographer websites free of charge.

Pricing

The Free and Free Galleries plans cost nothing and provide 120 GB of storage or gallery storage. The free offer is active for six months and can be extended through a social media post about Wfolio. It does not include a website, making it a limited way to try galleries rather than a permanent free portfolio option.

Galleries costs $18.90 a year, billed at a first-payment price reduced from $29.9 per year by 35%. It includes 300 GB, 1 TB, or unlimited galleries, photo and video delivery, photo selection, Lightroom and Capture One export, online payments, face recognition, and AI retouching. It is the more focused paid choice for photographers who need delivery and sales but not a site builder.

Site + Galleries costs $31.90 a year, reduced from $49.9 per year for the first annual payment. It includes six months of access plus renewal, the same gallery quota choices, a website builder, unlimited website pages, a personal blog, a portfolio, online payments, face recognition, and AI retouching. This is the fit for photographers who want a site and gallery service together. The first-payment discount matters: the stated lower price applies to that payment, so buyers should account for renewal rather than treating it as a permanent rate.

Platforms

Wfolio is available on the web. Its custom-domain support helps photographers present a branded website, but the free plan itself does not include a website.

Who it's for

Wfolio is best suited to photographers who want a portfolio, client proofing and delivery, and ways to sell work or services in one place. The Galleries plan suits those who already have a website or do not need one; Site + Galleries is the more complete package for photographers building a web presence alongside client workflows. It is a weaker fit for someone who wants only a basic site or needs a free website that remains active indefinitely.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Website building, galleries, client selection, delivery, and online payments are brought together, reducing the need to assemble those functions across separate services.
• Pros: Galleries handle both photos and video, including RAW files, and support secure links, passwords, and watermarks.
• Pros: Lightroom and Capture One export, face recognition, and AI retouching add specific workflow tools for photographers.
• Cons: The free plan lasts six months and excludes a website, so it cannot serve as a lasting free portfolio site.
• Cons: Paid annual prices are discounted for the first payment, so the initial price should not be mistaken for the renewal price.
• Cons: The website and portfolio features require Site + Galleries; photographers who need galleries alone can avoid that cost with Galleries.

Alternatives

For a broader selection, compare Portfolio Website Builders and Photography Website Builders. Choose Framer if its free plan and wide platform availability are a better fit for a general site-building choice. Portfoliobox is worth considering for a free portfolio site with no time limit, though its free plan is capped at 30 images and five pages. Gesso is an alternative for a small artwork portfolio, with a free tier capped at 10 artworks and three images per artwork. Journo Portfolio may suit writers seeking a publishing portfolio, with annual-billed Plus at $7 a month and Pro at $10 a month. Pixieset Website offers a free website plan capped at 15 pages, 100 photos, and five blog posts. Weblly is another freemium web option, with a free plan providing 50 AI credits per month and one workspace. UOVA offers a free plan with 250 AI credits per month, up to 35 images per month, and unlimited published sites. Portfolio Studio is another web-based freemium portfolio option.

Verdict

Choose Wfolio if you are a photographer who wants client galleries, image delivery and selection, sales tools, and a portfolio website under one roof. The combination is its clearest advantage, especially for photographers who routinely deliver work and take payments online. Look elsewhere if you need a permanent free website or only want a simple portfolio without the added gallery and commerce toolkit.
