A photo suite, or just a gallery link?

Pixieset is a photography business suite; Nippy is a fast way to put photos — or anything else — online. A working photographer who delivers client galleries every week, sells prints through an integrated store, and wants proofing tools will be better served by Pixieset: that is what it is for, and its free tier includes 3 GB of photo storage with unlimited collections (store sales on the free plan carry a commission).

Nippy’s gallery is deliberately lighter: drag a folder of images in and it becomes a clean thumbnail grid with a full-screen lightbox and a download-everything-as-zip button, at an address like shoots.nippy.site — no proofing workflow, no store, nothing to configure, and downloads can be switched off per site.

The difference shows elsewhere: Nippy hosts any files, not only photos. The same account can carry a portfolio site, a CV, hand-outs, or a full HTML website, and paid plans add custom domains, password protection, and cookie-free visitor analytics. The honest split: if galleries are how you make your living and you want sales built in, choose Pixieset; if you want this shoot online at one clean link — or you need hosting that goes beyond photos — Nippy is the simpler tool.
