What you gain by switching

Auto-archiving policy silently archives 70-80% of galleries without clear warning — past clients find wedding photos blank — included in 12img
Gallery restoration takes 17+ hours per gallery — weeks of downtime for large portfolios — "I needed to access some old galleries... It's days later and still response from support." (anonymous, r/photography) — included in 12img
Support described as "utterly useless and dismissive" when galleries disappear; "asynchronous support" means multi-hour email delays (G2, 2024) — included in 12img
Photographers with 14-20 year accounts publicly abandoning the platform; documented mass exodus — included in 12img
transparent communication about archiving policies or data retention — included in 12img
Dated, clunky user interface — "the dated, amateur feeling to their layouts and design" was the real reason one 14-year customer left (u/CaptainPlume, r/photography) — included in 12img

5-Step Migration Guide

1

Sign up free

~30 seconds

Create your 12img account in 30 seconds — no credit card required. Start with galleries free, add contracts and invoicing on Starter ($9/mo).

2

Upload your galleries

~10-30 minutes

Use 12img's bulk upload to transfer your existing photos. Resumable uploads handle even 1,000+ image galleries reliably.

3

Set up contracts & invoicing

~15 minutes

Something Zenfolio doesn't offer — create contract templates and connect Stripe for payments, all built-in.

4

Share new gallery links

~5 minutes

Send clients their new 12img gallery links. They get a modern delivery experience with a full client portal.

5

Cancel Zenfolio

~2 minutes

Once your galleries are migrated and new workflow is live, cancel your Zenfolio subscription. You're saving money immediately.
