Media hosting for web developers and studios

Photos and videos for all your client websites. Updated without a deploy.

Manage client galleries from one dashboard. Upload photos and videos yourself, or let clients add them from their phone. Connect each gallery once—handle future updates in Dropl.

$15/month · Unlimited client sites

How it works

Set it up once.

  1. 01

    Add a client

    Add a client workspace. Keep each client’s photos, videos, and galleries together.

  2. 02

    Upload and connect

    Drag in their media, then paste one gallery embed on their website. You only do this once.

  3. 03

    Manage future updates

    When the client sends more, add, swap, or reorder it in Dropl. You never reopen the project.

Optional: invite the client and they can add photos from their phone themselves.

What's included

Also on the plan.

  • Photo and video hosting

    Ad-free player with adaptive quality. Videos can be public, unlisted, private, or password-protected.

  • Galleries

    Grid or collage layouts with category filter tabs. Reorder with a drag.

  • API

    A versioned REST API with scoped keys and an OpenAPI document, for uploads and galleries from your own code.

  • Unlimited client sites

    Every client gets a workspace in your account, and your whole team works in it at no extra cost.

Client upload portal

Clients add photos from their phone.

Invite a client and they get a simple upload page. No dashboard to learn, no training call. Their connected gallery updates automatically.

  • Upload straight from their phone's camera roll
  • Drag to reorder their gallery
  • They only see their own workspace

Embeds and API

One snippet. Any website.

Paste it on any page. Photos are resized and lazy loaded, and each embed reserves its space so the page doesn't jump.

  • Next.js
  • Framer
  • Webflow
  • WordPress
  • Plain HTML

FAQ

Questions, answered

Clients, limits, cancellation, and branding.

Do my clients need a login or any training?

Only if you want them to upload. You can handle every update yourself in Dropl. If you invite a client, they get a simple portal that only shows their own workspace, and they add photos from their phone.

How much does it cost?

$15/month for unlimited client sites, with 100 GB storage and 500 GB monthly delivery pooled across all of them. Need more? Each capacity pack adds 100 GB storage and 500 GB delivery for $10/month.

What happens when monthly delivery runs out?

Account owners get an email at 80% and at 100%. Photos always keep loading. Videos keep playing up to 110% of the allowance; past that, they show a short "temporarily unavailable" message until your next billing month starts or you add a capacity pack, which brings them back right away. To keep videos playing, turn on automatic capacity packs in Billing (off by default): when delivery reaches 100%, we add one pack for $10/month, prorated, and email you. Delivery is measured from CDN logs, so this can happen up to a few hours after the line is crossed. Each billing month starts fresh.

What happens to embedded galleries after the trial ends, or if I cancel?

After the trial: if you haven't chosen a plan, uploads stop when the 14 days are up and embeds keep working for 3 more days. Then galleries and videos show a short "temporarily unavailable" message on your clients' websites. Your media is kept for 30 days after the trial (we email at least 7 days before deleting it), and choosing a plan brings every embed back. After cancelling: everything keeps working until the end of the month you've paid for. When the subscription ends, uploads stop and embeds keep working for 7 more days, then show the same "temporarily unavailable" message. Your media is kept for 90 days after the subscription ends, and we email 30 days and again 7 days before deleting it. Resubscribing before then brings every embed back without touching the website's code. If a payment fails, everything keeps working while the card is retried.

Do client-facing galleries show Dropl branding?

Photo galleries don't: no logo, badge, or link. The video player, including videos inside a gallery, shows a small Dropl logo in the corner by default. You can turn it off in the player's appearance settings on the Dropl plan or during the trial. The client upload portal says "Powered by Dropl" by default; on the Dropl plan you can hide that and add your own logo, colors, and name in Branding settings.

Do I need a credit card to start the free trial?

No. Every new account gets 14 days free, with no credit card required. Add a card any time during the trial and you won't be charged until it ends.
