Import an existing portfolio

Use the guide for your source below to download photographs or prepare local originals. Each guide explains the available route and links to official help. Website themes, pages, shop data, and domain settings do not transfer with photographs.

Select native photo ZIPs together without unpacking them. For Instagram, choose a JSON export with media. For a Flickr account export, include both the photo ZIPs and the account-data ZIP to restore the supplied albums and photo details.

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.

In Photos, open More and choose Import portfolio. Choose the source service for its export instructions, or use the generic ZIP or folder option.

Use the file types and limits shown in Studio. The review shows the photos found and any files that could not be included.

Check the proposed galleries and their names, select the photographs to keep, and deselect anything you do not need. Review ungrouped photographs as well as gallery selections.

Exact duplicates found during review are deselected. You can select one deliberately if you need another copy. This is not a guarantee that every visually similar image or every photo already in your account will be detected.

Open a photo to edit its title, caption, focal point, gallery placement, or visibility. Editing is optional: choose Import photos whenever you are ready. Photos default to Public, but nothing appears on your portfolio until you publish. New galleries stay unpublished.

More previews load as you scroll. Select all includes photos not yet shown and skips detected duplicates. Your account photo and storage limits still apply.

Back to photos and Close keep your edits while you stay in Studio. Reloading the page clears unsaved edits. Use Review import beside Add photos to return.

Some source services offer another import method in Studio. Use it only when that option is shown. A public URL may provide web-sized copies rather than original files; protected or unavailable images may not transfer.

For a public link, first open the page in a private browser window without signing in. Use a gallery or album address when you want one collection. Private galleries, password-protected pages, and unpublished trial sites cannot be imported through a public link.

Compare the review with your source collection before importing. A page may expose only some photos or omit titles, captions, and order. If photos are missing or too small, use a provider export or your local originals instead.

These are one-time copies, not continuing synchronization. ISO100 does not delete the source photographs or cancel the source service.

Keep Studio open while a ZIP or folder is being prepared and uploaded. After that upload finishes, finding and importing photos continues on the server. Public URL scans also run in the background, following supported pages within the scan limits.

The button beside Add photos shows the next step: finding photos, ready to review, importing, or needing attention. Open it to review your photos or check progress. Past and canceled imports are under More, then Import history.

You can pause, resume, or cancel from import progress. Cancel stops remaining work and discards unsaved review edits, but keeps photos already in your library. A request already in progress may finish after you pause or cancel. Temporary files expire after seven days, even while paused. To resume an interrupted local upload, choose the same ZIP or folder again.

For new imports, ISO100 automatically emails your verified account address when photos are ready to choose, the import has finished processing, or it needs attention.

Import photos confirms your selection and starts the background transfer. Unchecked photos are left out. You do not need to keep Studio open while the confirmed import runs.

Read the reported result before starting again. Files already transferred may still be processing, and successful transfers remain in your account even if other files fail.

Where offered, use Retry failed photos to retry the failed part. Otherwise check the Photos library and upload results, then select only the missing files. Check storage and photo limits before retrying.

Review the processed photographs, titles, captions, alt text, focal points, gallery order, and visibility. Preview the portfolio before publishing. Importing does not publish it.

Keep the old portfolio available until you have checked the new one and any links or domain changes you need to make.
