Pass+ to Pic-Time migration is free
Pass Gallery alternatives after the shutdown
shoots.page is the Pass+ alternative for delivery and proofing without a store: free up to 2 GB, or 100 GB for USD 9 a month, and clients never need an account. If you sell prints, Pass's free migration to Pic-Time keeps your gallery links and client data and gives you a store with over 30 labs, so it is the obvious pick.

Why Pic-Time is the default
Pass has been powered by Pic-Time's technology for nearly a decade, though the two remain separate companies, so Pic-Time is the only migration Pass offers. It is free for every Pass photographer, it runs automatically once you start it from your Pass account, and your Pass pricing is honored through your renewal period.
Old Pass gallery links redirect to the migrated galleries for as long as they stay live on Pic-Time. Client data and contacts, videos, slideshows, scene names and order come with you, and Pic-Time works with over 30 print labs. If print sales are part of your business, migrating is the practical choice. The Pass Gallery shutdown guide has every date and the billing details.
What the migration leaves behind
Order history, price lists, coupon codes, marketing automations, gallery templates, integrations and album proofing do not transfer. Covers switch to Pic-Time's Classic theme. Custom products come across but need a new price list before they sell again, and the store itself is rebuilt with Pic-Time's setup wizard. Export your order history and anything else on that list before you move on.
When shoots.page is the better fit
If your wedding, portrait or event clients have already paid in full, a print store and marketing automations are more than the job needs. shoots.page is built for handing over finished files: clients open one link, browse, pick favorites and download, with no account and no log-in.
Pass galleries only took JPEG and GIF files. On shoots.page you can deliver PNG, TIFF, HEIC and WebP originals byte for byte, and camera RAW files as full-size JPEGs or, once you switch RAW downloads on, untouched. Photo proofing lets clients pick favorites up to your limit and buy extras at a per-photo price you set; shoots.page never handles that money and takes no commission. It is free up to 2 GB, about 250 exported JPEGs at 8 MB each, or 100 GB for USD 9 a month.
Where Pic-Time clearly wins
- An automatic, free migration that keeps your Pass galleries, scenes and client contacts.
- Old Pass links redirect to your galleries while they stay live on Pic-Time.
- A print store with over 30 labs, rebuilt with a setup wizard.
- Video clips, slideshows and blogs, which all transfer from Pass.
Where shoots.page fits
- Clients open the gallery and download without an email, password or account.
- RAW delivery plus PNG, TIFF, HEIC and WebP originals, none of which Pass galleries accepted.
- Proofing with a pick limit and optional paid extras, without a store or commission.
- Free up to 2 GB, or 100 GB for USD 9 a month, with no per-gallery fee.
