Setting up your public profile page

Under “Profile Page” you make your public page visible and fill it with a profile photo, a logo, a bio and your links. It lives at your own address and works independently of your gallery links.

  • The public profile page is part of your plan.

What the page is for #

Ab Tarif Pro Tarife ansehen

The profile page is your one place to point people to: a photo of you, a few sentences about your work, your links and, below that, the galleries you want to show. Anyone holding a gallery link has no need for it. It is for everybody else.

While visibility is off, nobody sees the page but you. Your galleries are untouched by this: a gallery link still leads to the photos when the profile page is invisible.

Making the page visible #

Profile Page Visibility

  1. Turn on “Profile page publicly visible”.
  2. Read the address shown below it after “URL”.

This switch saves right away. There is no Save button at this spot.

Check the result

Open the address shown in a private browser window. The page has to appear there without a login.

Profile Page Profile Photo

  1. Under “Profile Photo” click “Upload Photo” and pick a file. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 3 MB are allowed.
  2. Under “Logo” click “Upload Logo”. The limit there is 2 MB.

The profile photo and the logo are two different things. The profile photo shows you; the logo appears in the top left of the gallery view. Both save right after the upload, which you can tell from the “Saved” checkmark.

Check the result

A PNG with a transparent background works best for the logo. Look at the result in the gallery preview before you leave it as it is.

Writing your bio #

Profile Page Bio

  1. Write a few sentences about yourself and your work.
  2. Click “Save”.
Important

No links belong in this text. Addresses in running text stay unlinked; the fields under “Links” are there for that.

Linking your website, social media and reviews #

Profile Page Links

  1. Enter your address under “Website”, for example www.myphotosite.com.
  2. Add your profiles under “Social Media” with “Add Platform”. Up to ten entries are possible.
  3. Click “Save”.

Under “Google Reviews” you connect your Google Business Profile. Your review link comes from it, and you can drop that link into the gallery link email as a placeholder. The business profile does not need a published address for this.

Profile Page Appearance in the Gallery Cover Photo

“Make it White” keeps the logo visible on every cover photo and gives up all detail for it. A detailed graphic turns into a white shape. This setting suits single-colour logos on a transparent background.

“Original” keeps colours, detail and transparency and puts a soft shadow underneath, so the logo stays readable on bright images too.

Check the result

Open a gallery that has a cover photo through the gallery preview and look at the logo in the top left.

If it does not work
The profile page cannot be reached at the address.
Check whether the switch under “Visibility” is really on. A browser you are logged into shows the page even while it is off, so test in a private window.
The “Profile Page” menu entry is missing.
The public profile page is not part of your plan. Under “Plan” you can see which plan includes it.
The logo turns into a white shape on the cover photo.
Switch “Appearance in the Gallery Cover Photo” to “Original”. “Make it White” is meant for single-colour logos.
