Streamline the transfer of photo shoots from photographer > studio > client

Shootflow streamlines photo and video delivery from the photographer > editor > client - copies, converts, compresses, uploads and notifies your editors, automatically, in the background, while you're still on site.

The photographer delivers photos to the editor in minutes - before they've even left the venue.

// faster and easier than manually uploading the full shoot

While you'd still be uploading manually, the edit is already finished and the photos are delivered to the client.

Editing progress and the full-resolution transfer are designed to land at the same moment - the editor never waits on files, and files never sit waiting on the editor.

Not just faster. Built to not break.

Built to withstand choppy internet

⚡

Editors start in minutes, not hours

Low-res photo raw file proxies are sent to the editor (or your studio) and you're notified immediately - full-resolution files keep converting and syncing in the background while editing has already begun.

Recovers from interruptions

A dropped internet connection mid-upload doesn't lose progress - Shootflow detects it, resumes automatically, and retries failed transfers without you noticing.

Verifies, doesn't assume

Every file is checked after it lands in  the studio's Dropbox - not just marked complete because the transfer finished. If disk space runs low, it pauses gracefully instead of corrupting a shoot.

Notifies the right people, per event

Real time notifications on Signal, WhatsApp, or ntfy - each team member chooses exactly which events they hear about: new shoot, low-res ready, upload complete, gallery ready. No spam, full visibility.
