In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of how to create a new client gallery. Before creating a new client gallery, download the Pass Gallery Uploader. The Uploader App allows you to upload your photos quickly in the background of your computer. #### Create a New Gallery To begin creating a client gallery, select + New Client Gallery from the Main Dashboard. ![29-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/29-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=29-png.png) If you have set up a Project Template you can select it from the pop-up, or select Skip Template to create a gallery without a template. ![30-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/30-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=30-png.png) #### **Name & Cover**   In the **Name & Cover **tab, add the *Project Name* and *Project Date*. You can also edit the gallery URL, change the gallery language, and choose a gallery cover design and color. ![31-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/31-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=31-png.png) #### Photos Go to the **Photos** tab of the gallery. When creating a New Scene, you have the option to upload photos, create a slideshow, design a blog post (beta), or embed a video.  If you’ve set it up in your Project Template, the scene structure and names will be auto-populated based on your Project Template. To start uploading your photos, begin by naming the scene and then click the **+ Upload Photos** button. Select the images or drop the files/folders you would like to upload to the scene. If you organize your images in different folders on your computer, you can drag and drop the folders themselves and they will be automatically separated into scenes. If you’d like to add a new scene, select **+ Add Scene** and upload images, add a slideshow, or add a video. ![32-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/32-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=32-png.png) Pro tip: click on the three dots underneath each scene name to hide it from certain user types, such as a scene for only wedding vendors. You can easily sort the gallery images by selecting the **Sort** dropdown menu. You can also set your Default sorting in your Settings. Tags from the gallery and your editing software are shown in the **Filter** dropdown menu, which allows you to filter and organize images based on different parameters.  For example, if you’ve rated your “highlights” images as 5 stars when working on your images in Lightroom, you can filter for images with 5 stars, select them all, and set them as Highlights.  ![33-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/33-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=33-png.png) Extra additions you can add to the gallery: scene description text, hidden scenes, and slideshows for social media.  #### Settings In the **Settings** tab, select the occasion to make filtering and organizing galleries easier. If you want to limit user access and require specific security options for projects like boudoir or newborn galleries, you can set the *Security Policy* to sensitive. Otherwise, you can use the normal security policy, mark the gallery as private, and don’t show on your Portfolio until you have a few galleries uploaded. ![34-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/34-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=34-png.png) Edit the gallery download permissions by selecting the **More Settings** button under *Downloads*. This is where you will set up free downloads, a specific number of downloads, or allow downloads for only certain user types.  You can change the watermark settings (if your watermark settings are ‘grayed out’, it means you haven’t uploaded your watermark yet) and gallery style option.  Check the **Enable flexible layout grid **to allow you as the photographer and Main Clients to enlarge landscape photos in the gallery grid for a better viewing experience. ![Snaps Project-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Snaps%20Project-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=Snaps%20Project-png.png) Leave your *Online Store* enabled and select your preferred price list. This way clients can easily purchase their memories onto the beautiful products in your shop. ![36-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/36-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=36-png.png) #### Sales Campaigns For now we can skip this page, and we will address the Automations in the Advanced Guide. Or if you want to start trying out the Sales Automations right away, we recommend enabling the Early Bird discount and the Expiration Promo discount, and sticking with the defaults we suggest.   ![37-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/37-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=37-png.png) #### Share After completing the gallery setup, go to the **Share** tab and start sharing the gallery with different users. Add your Main Client’s Name and Email Address and click Send to Client. Then you can type a message to your client and invite them to the gallery. ![38-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/38-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=38-png.png)Pro tip: Save your client invite email templates for different types of photo sessions. #### Workflow After sharing the gallery, visit the **Workflow** tab if you want to send or download gallery images, and view what photos others have favorited or downloaded. The Workflow tab is also where you can request a client selection so that clients can organize their images for you.  For example, use the Client Selections for photo retouching or album photo selection.  ![39-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/39-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=39-png.png) #### Dashboard Visit the **Dashboard** tab for a quick summary of gallery actions. Select **View all activity** for an extensive and more detailed view.   ![40-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/40-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=40-png.png) Select **Preview Gallery** to preview as the photographer. ![41-png](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/41-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=41-png.png) In the Preview Gallery: Enlarge images that you want to showcase, create your own favorites list to customize the shop image tiles, and place your own orders in the shop. - [General](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/general?hsLang=en) - [Getting started](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Settings](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/settings?hsLang=en) - [Account](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/account?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/integrations?hsLang=en) - [FAQs](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Galleries](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/galleries?hsLang=en) - [Smart Store](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/smart-store?hsLang=en) - [Pass Classic](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/pass-classic?hsLang=en) - [Partnerships](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/partnerships?hsLang=en) - [Pass Platinum](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/pass-platinum?hsLang=en) - [Campaigns and Automations](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/campaigns-and-automations?hsLang=en) # Pass Holdings LLC Copyright © 2026, Pass Holdings LLC
