The Brief

For photographers and creative studios, the work continues after the shoot: large galleries need to reach clients, feedback needs to stay organized, and final files need to be easy to select and download. Opale brings these steps into one client experience, without requiring clients to create an account.

The Product

Studios can create galleries from reusable templates, choose a cover and responsive layout, and customize colors, typography and watermarks. Private links give studios control over access. Clients can browse the gallery, save favorites, comment, approve a selection and download the files they’re allowed to access.

Built for Real Media Delivery

Opale’s private V1 connects resumable uploads and media processing with persistent project data, private storage and background exports. Gallery links can be password-protected, expired or revoked.

Branded invitation emails complete the delivery workflow, while the storage adapter leaves a path open for S3 as needs grow.
