About Pixpa
Overview
Pixpa is a portfolio website builder for photographers, artists, designers and other creatives. It combines a portfolio website, client galleries with proofing and delivery, an online store and a blog in one platform.
Users build sites without code from 200+ templates, and advanced users can add custom CSS and HTML. Pixpa reports a 4.7/5 rating across 600+ Capterra reviews.
Key Benefits
- Run the portfolio, client galleries, store and blog under one login and one bill.
- Keep every dollar from sales, because Pixpa takes zero commission on every plan.
- Start from 200+ designer-made responsive templates without writing code.
- Proof, deliver and sell images through password-protected client galleries.
- Reach live chat support with real people 24/7.
- Try the platform free for 15 days with no card required.
How It Works
You choose a template, customize the layout, colors and type in the visual editor, add your work, connect a domain and publish. For client work, you upload a shoot, set a password and expiry date, and send the link. Clients view, favorite and download images on any device.
Use Cases
- Wedding and portrait photographers proof images and sell prints through private client galleries.
- Artists and illustrators sell prints, products and digital files from a branded store on their own domain.
- UI/UX and graphic designers publish a portfolio with custom CSS and HTML for finer control.
- Architects and interior designers present project work on a custom-domain portfolio site.
- Musicians, models and writers share their work and collect inquiries with built-in forms and a blog.
- Photographers switching from Squarespace, Pixieset, Zenfolio or SmugMug consolidate into one platform.
Why Choose This Product
Pixpa positions itself as a portfolio builder first, with galleries, store, blog and marketing tools built by the same team in the same editor. Creatives who currently pay for a separate portfolio builder, gallery tool and commission-taking store can replace all three with one subscription.
