Your clients shouldn't need a tutorial to save their wedding photos. 12img galleries work on every device.
“Downloading the actual photos to a phone is a real hassle.”
Pixieset's gallery viewer forces mobile users through multiple taps, confusing download prompts, and broken ZIP flows. Many clients give up or only get compressed previews.

One-tap mobile download: Pixieset requires multi-step process
Full-res downloads on iPhone: Pixieset often delivers compressed versions
No app required: Pixieset pushes app install prompts
Pixieset's mobile gallery viewer doesn't support native one-tap downloads. Instead, clients are forced through a multi-step process that often delivers compressed previews instead of full-resolution originals. Many clients end up screenshotting the gallery instead.
Yes. 12img galleries are designed mobile-first. Clients can download individual photos or entire galleries in one tap on any device, including iPhone and Android. No app install required, and downloads are always full-resolution.
Pixieset's mobile experience is limited. ZIP downloads don't work reliably on mobile, and individual downloads often serve compressed versions. Photographers report clients complaining about not being able to get their photos.
12img offers free migration assistance. Export your galleries from Pixieset, upload to 12img, and your clients get a better mobile experience immediately. The entire process takes minutes, not hours.

Pixieset: SEO
Missing H1 tags, no 301 redirects, no sitemap control. Pixieset wasn't built for photographers who want to rank on Google.
Pixieset: Contracts
You're paying for a gallery platform and still need HoneyBook or Dubsado for contracts. 12img does it all.
Pixieset: Pricing
Pixieset charges $35/mo for galleries alone, plus commission on every sale. 12img includes everything from $0/mo.
Pixieset: Data Export
Photographers report 7+ hour exports that fail mid-way. Your photos shouldn't be held hostage.
