Everything you need to deliver a beautiful client gallery from a Google Drive folder — usually in about a minute.
From the dashboard, click New gallery and set:
You get a short shareable URL like gallerylink.live/gallery/emma-josh-7gk2pq8r.
A theme is a full visual identity — typography, colour, shape, and a cover style. Choose from Editorial, Minimal, Noir, Folk, and Film.
A layout controls how photos are arranged: Masonry, Grid, Large, Mosaic, Feed, and Frame. Masonry and the column layouts read left-to-right, top-to-bottom and balance automatically using each photo’s real dimensions.
If your Drive folder contains subfolders, each becomes a named scene (e.g. “Getting Ready”, “Ceremony”, “Reception”) with its own section header. Loose photos in the top level appear first. No subfolders? It’s a single flowing gallery.
Your clients get a fast, account-free experience:
From the dashboard you can view, edit, copy the link, or delete any gallery, and see how many photos clients have favorited. Editing never changes the slug, so shared links stay valid. Deleting a gallery removes it from GalleryLink only — your Drive files are untouched.
Free includes one gallery, the Editorial & Minimal themes, and Masonry & Grid layouts. Pro unlocks unlimited galleries, password protection, every theme & layout, and removes GalleryLink branding.

GalleryLink never stores your media. It keeps only metadata and reads your Drive folder live via the Drive API, caching results briefly to stay fast and within quota. Thumbnails and downloads are served straight from Google’s CDN, so there’s no extra storage or bandwidth cost. Passwords are bcrypt-hashed and gallery access uses a short-lived signed cookie.
No. Your files stay in Google Drive. GalleryLink stores only metadata — the folder ID, title, theme, a hashed password, and your links — and reads the folder live on each visit.
No. They open the link, enter the password if you set one, and view. Favorites are remembered per browser without any login.
The gallery auto-syncs. It reads the folder on every load (and when the tab refocuses), so changes appear within a minute.
Yes. Turn off “Allow downloads” on the gallery and the download button is hidden (the resized preview is still shown for viewing).
No. The slug is fixed when the gallery is created, so links you've already shared keep working even after edits.
