A gallery does not need a client. Leave the client empty for portfolio or personal work, then assign someone later if needed.

Upload photos

1. Drag photos into the upload area or choose files from your computer.
2. Review the selected files.
3. Start the upload.
4. Keep Vignette open while progress is active.

JPG, PNG, and WebP images are supported. Vignette keeps the original for downloads and prepares smaller display versions for faster browsing.

Handle an upload problem

If one file fails:

1. Confirm your internet connection is stable.
2. Retry the failed file.
3. If it fails again, check that the file opens correctly on your computer.
4. Export a fresh JPG or supported image and try again.

Successfully uploaded photos stay in the gallery even when another file fails.

Choose the first cover

The first completed image may become the initial gallery cover. You can change it later from the gallery editor.

Continue working after upload

Open the gallery to arrange photos, add albums, choose the cover, preview the client experience, and share it.

Before sharing: Wait for uploads and any watermark processing to finish. Use View as a client to confirm that the gallery looks complete.
