The affordable Pixieset alternative
Pixieset is a great client-gallery platform — but many photographers feel they're overpaying for features they could get for less. keeppix gives you the same core workflow (deliver, proof, download, brand) plus facial-recognition sorting, starting at a fraction of the price.

Everything you actually use, for less
Beautiful client galleries, favorites and proofing, full-resolution downloads, watermarking, custom branding, and analytics — the day-to-day tools you rely on are all here.
keeppix starts free and paid plans begin at $5/month, with Pro (unlimited galleries + facial recognition) at $12/month.
A feature Pixieset doesn't have: facial recognition
Turn on facial-recognition sorting and your clients can filter a gallery to just the photos of a specific person. For weddings, events, sports, and schools, letting guests find themselves by face is a genuine time-saver — and it's included on Pro.
Switching is simple
Create a gallery, drag in your photos, set a cover, and share a link (or a private access code). Your clients get a fast, elegant experience on any device — no app to install.
