| Plan | Billed yearly | Billed monthly | Photo storage | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 3 GB | 500 MB of video; 3 galleries; 15% commission on sales; no original downloads, logo or custom domain |
| Lite | $7 a month ($84 a year) | $11 a month | 30 GB | 3 GB of video; unlimited galleries; no commission; original downloads; your logo and custom domain |
| Starter | $12 a month ($144 a year) | $18 a month | 100 GB | 10 GB of video; removes Lightfolio branding |
| Pro | $20 a month ($240 a year) | $28 a month | 1,000 GB | 30 GB of video; priority support |
| Premium | $40 a month ($480 a year) | $50 a month | Unlimited | 60 GB of video |
What the free plan includes
The free plan is free forever and needs no credit card. You get 3 GB of photo storage, which Lightfolio puts at about 600 images, 500 MB of video and up to 3 galleries. Proofing and online sales work from the start, and Lightfolio takes a 15% fee only when you make a sale.
For client delivery, the gaps matter: clients can't download your original files, your galleries keep Lightfolio branding, and you can't add your logo or a custom domain.

When a bundle costs less
If you need galleries, studio tools and a website, the bundles are cheaper. Bought separately at yearly prices, Galleries Pro ($20), Studio Manager Pro ($15) and Websites Premium ($16) add up to $51 a month. The Pro bundle covers the same for $28 a month billed yearly, or $38 month to month, and adds 2 team members. Lightfolio says yearly billing saves up to 36%.
Add-ons and fees
Video storage add-ons come with 4K support: 100 GB for $9 a month billed yearly ($15 monthly), 500 GB for $18 ($28) and 2 TB for $35 ($52). Store payments run through Stripe or PayPal, and you fulfill orders yourself or through the lab partners Bay Photo Lab and Loxley Colour. No plan needs a contract, and you can change or cancel at any time.
Which plan delivers original files
Original-size downloads start at Lite, $7 a month billed yearly or $11 monthly; otherwise Lightfolio offers smaller sizes from 3200 down to 600 pixels. Uploads on every plan are JPG, GIF, PNG and TIFF up to 70 MB, with larger limits on request, and there is no RAW or HEIC. shoots.page delivers originals on the free plan too and takes RAW, HEIC and WebP files up to 1 GiB.
Lightfolio or shoots.page for delivery only
