Handover.photo
Handover.photo is a web client gallery for commissioned photography and retouching work. It combines file intake, client proofing, image selection, payment and delivery in one workflow. Clients can mark favourites, choose images, approve a review round and attach correction notes to individual photos. Studios can present bank-transfer, PayPal and Bitcoin payment buttons, while clients pay the studio directly. Finished files are delivered through a signed download link that expires. The maker says server previews are reduced-resolution and watermarked, originals are not publicly reachable, and files are stored on European servers. Uploads support common image formats and camera RAW files, with a 50 MB limit per file. Correction rounds are unlimited. Free, Pro and Studio plans cost 0.00 EUR, €9/mo and €12/mo respectively. Their limits are one, 10 and unlimited active projects; storage is 2 GB, 250 GB and 500 GB. Studio adds custom logo and colors.
