What WeTransfer took away

WeTransfer Portals (shut down Dec 2025)

12img Client Portal — messaging, milestones, contracts, gallery access

WeTransfer Reviews (shut down Dec 2025)

12img Proofing — client selects favorites, annotates, approves images

Your IP safety (2025 AI TOS controversy)

12img never trains AI on your photos. Ever.

ZIP downloads — brutal on mobile

Full-screen gallery. Clients browse before downloading. Mobile-first.

5-Step Migration Guide

1

Sign up free

~30 seconds

Create your 12img account in 30 seconds — no credit card required. Start with branded galleries free, add contracts and invoicing on Starter.

2

Upload your photos

~10-30 minutes

Drag and drop your photos into 12img. Resumable uploads handle any gallery size. Your images are served at full resolution — no compression, no screenshots.

3

Customize your gallery

~5 minutes

Set a cover image, add a welcome message, organize sections. Your gallery is automatically mobile-optimized with a branded client experience.

4

Set up contracts & invoicing

~15 minutes

Something WeTransfer can't do — create contract templates, connect Stripe for payments, and manage your entire client workflow.

5

Share your gallery link

~2 minutes

Send clients a branded gallery link instead of a WeTransfer folder. They get favorites, download tracking, and a professional experience.
