Who can open a gallery link, exactly
shoots.page delivers your work through a bearer link with an optional password and an optional expiry date. Galleries are unlisted from search engines — and anyone who has the link can open the page.

The access model
Every gallery uses a bearer link formatted as https://shoots.page/g/<slug>. You can add an optional password (8–256 characters) and an optional expiry date. Anyone who has the link — and the password, if you set one — can open the gallery. Recipients never need an account, an app, or a sign-up.
When someone opens the link, they see your gallery title, your studio name, and the expiry date if you set one. If you enabled password protection, they enter the password before viewing the photos.
How private is the link?
Gallery links are unlisted: every gallery carries a noindex tag, is excluded from the sitemap, and is disallowed in robots.txt. Search engines are told not to index or list your galleries.
The other half matters just as much: anyone who has the link can open it. Treat the link as the key and send it only to the people who should see the photos. If the job calls for more, add password protection and a gallery expiry. The password field carries the hint Send the password separately from the gallery link. — that is the right habit.
Ending access
You can revoke access at any time in /app. Revoking switches the link off; your originals stay in your account, and you can publish the gallery again later. Access also ends when an expiry date passes or when you delete the gallery — see delete and expire galleries.
In all three cases, the link then shows: This gallery is no longer available. Ask the sender for a new link.
Common questions
Can someone find my gallery through Google?
Galleries are unlisted: they carry a noindex tag, are left out of the sitemap, and are disallowed in robots.txt, so search engines are told to keep them out of results.
Who can open my gallery link?
Anyone who has the link — and the password, if you set one — can open the gallery. No account, app, or sign-up is ever required.
Should I add a password, or is the link enough?
The link alone means anyone who has it can open the gallery. A password (8–256 characters) adds a second thing to share separately — send it through a different channel than the link.
What does my client see when access has ended?
When a gallery is revoked, expired, or deleted, the link shows: This gallery is no longer available. Ask the sender for a new link.
