Wfolio is a web platform for photographers to build websites, store files, and manage content, with client galleries for image and video delivery. Its no-code builder includes ready-made page templates, more than 100 content blocks, font and color choices, and Google search promotion tools. Galleries support client photo selection and RAW files, while face recognition and AI retouching help clients find and download photos. Users can offer products and services, receive inquiries, and take online payments. Gallery plan features include Lightroom and Capture One export. Privacy and protection options include secure links, watermarks, passwords, and settings to prevent photo and video downloads; custom domains are supported. Wfolio says it aligns its privacy practices with the EU GDPR and California CCPA, and describes the site owner as controller of personal data collected through a built site, with Wfolio acting as processor. The free plan provides 120 GB and is active for six months; it does not include a website, though the period can be extended through a social media post about Wfolio. Paid plans are listed at $18.90 a year for Galleries and $31.90 a year for Site + Galleries, each with 35% off the first annual payment. An 8-day trial is listed.
