CR2, NEF, DNG and most camera RAW formats
Deliver RAW files while clients see ready-to-view JPEGs
Upload camera RAW files to shoots.page and your clients download a full-size JPEG of each one that opens on any phone or computer, one by one or as a ZIP, with no account. They browse 2000 px previews first, and the RAW files themselves go out only if you turn on RAW downloads.

What happens when you upload RAW
Pick your RAW files
You pick RAW files on the homepage. Your draft stays in your browser until you sign in with Google and send.
Upload with resume
Uploads run in resumable 8 MiB parts, so you can leave mid-upload and pick up right where you stopped.
Previews render in the background
The server renders a 480 px thumbnail, a 2000 px JPEG preview and a full-size JPEG for downloads from each RAW file in the background. See how this works in our guide on photo preview vs. original files.
Publish one link
Clients open it with no account or app required, browse 60-photo grid pages, and download files based on the toggles you turn on.
JPEGs for clients, RAW files when someone edits
A RAW file is the unedited capture and needs a RAW-capable app, which most clients do not have. So when a client downloads a RAW photo, on its own or in the ZIP, they get a full-size JPEG of it that opens on any phone or computer, ready to print, post or send on. Learn more about original downloads.
When an art director, retoucher or second shooter needs the RAW data, turn on Allow RAW downloads in the gallery settings. They can then also download each RAW exactly as you uploaded it, one by one or as a RAW ZIP. Your own downloads in the app always give you the RAW. The original, JPEG and RAW download switches each cover single-file saves and the full ZIP download.
