Import from Zenfolio
Move finished photographs from Zenfolio into ISO100 without publishing them immediately. Review the photos, edit any details, then import.

Download from the current Zenfolio gallery manager
In the current gallery manager, open a gallery, enter selection mode, and select the photos you want. Choose Download. Zenfolio prepares the archive and emails a download link; save each ZIP before its link expires. Repeat for your other galleries.
Keep these ZIPs unchanged and select them together in Studio. Some downloads have generated filenames and no gallery-name or caption metadata. Rename the proposed galleries during review and check photo details against your source.
- Select your gallery photos
Open the gallery under Organize. Use Edit to enter selection mode, then Select All or select individual photos.
- Request and save the ZIP
Choose Download and wait for the email confirming that your photos are ready. Open its download link and save the archive. Keep the email with your backup so you can trace each ZIP to its source gallery.
Prepare your Zenfolio export
Download original files one gallery at a time. The steps below apply to Zenfolio Classic; use the help for your account interface if its controls differ.
- Open a gallery
Sign in as the owner and open Photos, then the gallery you want to download.
- Download its originals
In the newer Classic Photos page, leave individual images unselected and choose Actions > Download Original Files. In the older Photos page, open the gallery’s Information panel and choose Download all photos.
- Select the gallery downloads together
Save each original ZIP, then select them together in ISO100 without extracting them. There is no single all-gallery download in this Classic workflow. Review the proposed gallery names and selected photographs before importing.
Prepare the files for ISO100
Upload the ZIP files exactly as downloaded. Select all photo and metadata parts from the same export together; you do not need to extract, rename, or combine their contents. The combined upload must fit the 250 MB limit.
ISO100 reads supported metadata and gallery folders, and uses ZIP names when a gallery download has no named folder. Check the proposed gallery names before importing. It leaves recognized smaller renditions and repeated files unchecked.
- Keep the original downloads
Save all ZIP parts and keep a backup. Select them together using Choose ZIP exports in Studio. If two ZIPs have the same filename, give one a distinct filename so both can be selected.
- Use a folder for loose photos
If the provider gives you individual files, choose the folder containing those files. You can use one subfolder per intended gallery, or assign the photos to galleries during review.
- Check the review
Review the photos, gallery names, captions, dates, and order. If a warning says files or export parts are missing, check your downloads and start a new import with the complete set. Do not confirm both copies of the same import.
- Choose finished image files
For local originals, export RAW edits as finished JPEGs in sRGB. Check Studio’s supported file types and limits. Website XML exports, videos, and metadata files alone are not photographs.
Preview the migration
Original photographs, folder names, and order can be reviewed as proposed galleries. Store history, client access, passwords, theme settings, and linked RAW storage do not transfer automatically.
Studio shows proposed gallery names, selected photographs, storage use, unsupported files, and plan limits before it prepares any ISO100 content.
- Rename galleries or uncheck their photos before importing.
- Deselect files that do not belong in the portfolio.
- Check image quality before importing; a small web copy cannot recover the detail of your original.
Review and import photos
- Open the importer
In Studio, open Photos, open More, then select Import portfolio. An empty library shows Import portfolio directly.
- Choose Zenfolio
Choose the platform, then select all downloaded ZIP parts together, or choose a folder of photo files.
- Review and import
Uncheck photos you do not want. Open a photo to edit its details, or choose Import photos without editing. Selected galleries are created with Public visibility but remain unpublished. To keep a gallery private when you later publish your portfolio, open Gallery details and set its visibility to Draft.
- Check before publishing
Review processing, crops, titles, captions, alt text, and gallery order. Publishing remains a separate action.
What remains at the source
ISO100 does not delete or modify the source account. Themes, custom pages, commerce, comments, followers, passwords, client activity, and domain settings are outside the photo migration.
Open Studio to make the change.
