Shootbin is a photo proofing platform built for the full shoot-to-delivery workflow. As a photographer, you upload your gallery, organize it into albums, and invite clients to review. Your clients — called approvers — can leave pinned annotations directly on photos, approve or reject selects, and request revisions. Once the review is complete, you deliver the final package as a secure download. Everything happens in one place, without back-and-forth over email.

​
How it works

The core workflow in Shootbin follows a repeating cycle:
  1. Create a project — a container for one client engagement or shoot
  2. Upload photos to one or more albums within that project
  3. Send for review — share the project with your client as an approver
  4. Collect feedback — clients annotate photos, approve selects, or send them back
  5. Revise and iterate — upload new revisions when needed; history is preserved
  6. Deliver — send a protected download package of the approved photos

Key features

​
Projects and albums

Every shoot lives inside a project. Within a project you create albums to group photos by look, location, or day. Your plan determines how many active projects and albums you can maintain at once.

​
Visual annotations

Approvers click directly on a photo to pin a comment to a specific area. Annotations stay attached to that exact position on the image, so feedback is always unambiguous. You can resolve annotations once the note has been addressed.

​
Approvals and rejections

Each photo has an approval state. Approvers mark photos as approved or rejected. Rejecting is an optional ‘nice to have’ for the approver, so they know what photo’s they don’t need to reivew. You can also bulk-approve or bulk-reject selections, and track approval progress across an entire album at a glance.

​
Revisions

When a client requests a change, you upload a new revision for that photo. Shootbin archives the previous version so the full revision history is preserved. Uploading a revision keeps the images approval state, but clears live annotations, starting a clean review cycle.

​
Delivery

When the review is complete, you generate a delivery package. Clients download their approved photos through a protected link. You can optionally require payment before download is unlocked.

​
Contracts

On Pro and Agency plans, you can attach a contract to a project. Clients must sign the contract before they can view or download your project. Contracts are managed in your profile and assigned per project.

​
Client payments

Shootbin supports requiring payment before a client can view or download a delivery. Owners can mark payments as received manually and add the payment details on the payment page.

​
White-label

Pro + Whitelabel and Agency plans let you present Shootbin under your own brand. You configure a custom subdomain, upload your logo, and clients see your studio name throughout the platform rather than Shootbin.
Feature availability depends on your plan. API access is available on the Agency plan. Contracts, client payments, and the Lightroom plugin are available on Pro and above. White-label requires the Pro + Whitelabel or Agency plan.
