Finish your photos before publishing.

Crop and straighten, fine-tune light and color, refine detail, and shape your look with curves and presets. Use masks to adjust selected areas and cloning to remove distractions. Your uploaded original stays intact.

How to import your photos

Questions about switching.

Can I sell photographs commission-free?

Yes. Sell individual photo downloads or complete galleries as ZIP files, with your chosen prices and licenses. ISO100 takes no commission on those sales.

How do I bring my photographs from Format?

Use your finished photo files or a supported export from Format. Import your selection, review the photographs and galleries, then publish when ready. The import guide explains how to prepare your files; website designs and business records are not recreated.

Can I publish my portfolio for free?

Yes. Publish up to 250 photos across five galleries, with 5 GB of storage. The allowance includes unpublished photographs, uploaded originals, and their viewing copies. See the plan comparison for full details.

Can I use my existing domain?

Yes. Build and preview your portfolio, then connect your domain when you are ready. Follow the domain setup guide to make the switch; old page addresses may need separate redirects.

Can I add pages for services or exhibitions?

Yes. Add custom pages alongside your galleries for services, exhibitions, or an artist statement. Combine formatted text and photographs, and include a contact form where you want visitors to get in touch.

Can I update a photograph without rebuilding its gallery?

Yes. Replace the file on an existing photograph to keep its link, title, rights notice, focal point, and gallery placements. Check the new image and crops, then publish the update when ready.

How should I prepare photographs for the best quality?

Start with finished originals or the highest-quality account downloads available. Check image dimensions before importing, then preview your selected work on desktop and mobile. Smaller web copies retain only the detail available in those files.

Can I keep editing in Lightroom?

Yes. When Lightroom is offered in Studio, connect your Lightroom cloud account and choose photos to import. You can also upload finished exports from Lightroom Classic. Imported photos do not stay synchronized with Lightroom; later edits need another import or a replacement file.

How do photo sales compare with Format Store?

ISO100 sells individual photo downloads and complete gallery bundles, with your chosen prices and licenses. Format also offers commission-free sales through its Store. Choose the workflow that fits the photographs or products you want to sell.

Can I try ISO100 while keeping Format?

Yes. Build and preview your portfolio while keeping Format active. Choose when to publish and switch your domain. Your existing account stays in place, so you can continue using its community, archive, or business services.

Can I edit photos before publishing?

Yes. Crop photos, adjust light and color, apply presets, and make local adjustments in Studio. The photo editor is included on Free and Plus, and your uploaded originals are preserved. Save your edits, review the result, then publish when ready.
