Hosted portfolio site
Features
Built for photographers who'd rather shoot than build a site
Your catalog is your website.
You already sort your work into galleries in Lightroom. Keptfolio turns each published collection into a page on your site. There's no separate builder to learn - the way you organize in Lightroom is the way your site is built.
Publish, and you're live.
Click Publish and your photos go online at yourname.keptfolio.com. Edit a shot, reorder a gallery, change a caption, then publish again - the live site updates in seconds. Only the photos that changed get re-uploaded.
Seven styles. Switch anytime.
Choose from seven art-directed designs, each with a light and a dark mode. Change your whole look in one click - no rebuilding, no re-uploading. Your photos stay exactly where they are; only the design changes.
Your photos, front and center.
Every style is tuned so the work carries the page - a full-screen viewer, crisp galleries, restrained type. It looks right on a phone and a laptop, and stays fast on both.
Order and captions carry over.
The order you set by dragging in Lightroom is the order visitors see. Your titles and captions come across too - captions show in the full-screen viewer. Nothing to re-enter on a website.
Hosted for you. Nothing to run.
No server to manage, no hosting to set up, no updates to install. Your site lives on fast, global infrastructure and stays online. You just publish from Lightroom - the rest is handled.
Why it's different
Publish from Lightroom. Skip the site builder.
The usual way to get a portfolio online: export your edits, then rebuild the whole gallery by hand in a website builder. Drag every image into place. Re-type the captions. Do it again from scratch the next time you reshoot or reorder. Your Lightroom work and your website slowly drift apart.
Keptfolio starts from the galleries you already keep in Lightroom. Organize your collections the way you always do, click Publish, and they become a designed, hosted site. Change a photo in Lightroom, publish again, and the live site follows. One place to work. One click to update.
How It Works
Three steps to a live portfolio
Organize. Publish. Update.
01
Organize
Group your photos into galleries in Lightroom, the way you already do. Each gallery becomes a page on your site.
02
Publish
Pick a style in your browser, add your name and a short about, then click Publish. Your site goes live at yourname.keptfolio.com.
03
Update
Edit, reorder, or add photos in Lightroom, then publish again. The live site follows in seconds - no rebuilding by hand.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What to expect before you start.
Which Lightroom and operating systems are supported?
Keptfolio works with Adobe Lightroom Classic (the desktop version) 6 and later, on both macOS and Windows. It is not compatible with the cloud-based "Lightroom" (formerly Lightroom CC).
How is this different from Squarespace, Format, or Adobe Portfolio?
Those are site builders. The workflow is: export your edits, then build and arrange the site by hand in their editor - and redo it every time your photos change. Adobe Portfolio has no Lightroom Classic plugin at all.
Keptfolio builds the site straight from your Lightroom galleries. Publish and it's live. Re-publish and it updates. There's no separate builder to learn and nothing to keep in sync by hand.
Do I need to know how to build a website?
No. That's the whole point. If you can make a collection in Lightroom, you can publish a portfolio. Pick a style in your browser, fill in your name and a short about, and publish.
Can I use my own domain name?
Your site is hosted at yourname.keptfolio.com. Custom domains (yourname.com) are on the roadmap - tell us if you need one and it moves up the list.
Can I change the design later?
Yes, anytime. There are seven styles, each with a light and dark mode. Switching is one click in your browser and never re-uploads your photos - only the design changes.
How many photos can I publish?
Unlimited galleries. Each gallery holds up to 500 photos, so you split larger bodies of work into more galleries. Individual images can be up to 30 MB.
Will the price go up?
Keptfolio is $49 a year, billed yearly. If we ever change the price, we'll give notice, and any change applies to future renewals only - never to a year you've already paid for. You can cancel anytime.
What happens if I stop paying?
Nothing sudden. If your subscription lapses you get a 14-day grace period, then your site goes offline - not deleted. Your images are kept for another 30 days, so renewing brings everything back automatically. You can export or unpublish your work at any time, so you're never locked in.
Does it change my photos?
No. Nothing about your originals or your catalog changes. Keptfolio reads your galleries and publishes web-sized copies. Your master files stay in Lightroom, untouched.
Where do my photos live, and is my work private?
Your published, web-sized photos are hosted so visitors can see your site - that's what a portfolio is for. Your original files and your catalog never leave Lightroom, and location data (GPS) is stripped from every published image. See the Keptfolio Privacy Policy for details.
Can I get a refund?
If Keptfolio doesn't work on your setup, contact us - we'll either fix the issue or refund you in full. Use our contact form to reach out. Full terms are on the Keptfolio Terms of Service page.
Stop rebuilding your website by hand.
Organize your galleries in Lightroom, pick a style, publish. You're live in minutes.
