Moving from ShootProof to Showpiece

ShootProof lets you re-download your uploaded photos per gallery. As with every platform: if your delivered files are already organized on a drive or backup, import from there and skip the export entirely.

Part 1 — Get your data out of ShootProof

1. 1

   Open the gallery and select everything

   In your ShootProof dashboard, open the gallery → Photos view → Select All.

2. 2

   Download originals

   Use the Download action on the selection and choose the original/full resolution option. ShootProof prepares a zip and emails you a link when it's ready — multi-part zips for large galleries are normal.

3. 3

   Repeat per gallery

   Work newest-first. If you're near your ShootProof photo cap, don't delete anything until the Showpiece import is verified — you're allowed to overlap.

Good to know: ShootProof plans are priced by photo count, so people often deleted old work to stay under caps — check your archive drive for anything that's no longer on the platform.

Part 2 — Bring it into Showpiece

1. 1

   Organize into one folder

   Unzip everything into a single parent folder on your computer, with one subfolder per gallery (most exports already arrive this way). Subfolder names become your album names, so rename them now if you want tidier titles.

2. 2

   Run the Showpiece importer

   Log into Showpiece and open showpiece.studio/import. Click the picker, select the PARENT folder, and let it run — each subfolder becomes an album, full-resolution originals upload with automatic retries, and web previews generate as they land. Big libraries take a while (it's your upload speed, not us); keep the tab open and it will tell you if anything needs retrying.

3. 3

   Bring your client list

   On showpiece.studio/clients, use Import CSV. Name, email, phone, and notes columns are detected automatically and your people land in the CRM, deduplicated.

4. 4

   Verify, then flip the switch

   Spot-check a few albums (counts and full-res downloads), publish your portfolio, set your services and availability, connect Stripe — and only then cancel the old subscription. Overlap for a billing cycle if you want a safety net; your old account stays untouched by any of this.

ShootProof's Contacts area can export your client list as a CSV (look for an export option on the contacts/customers page). That file drops straight into the Showpiece clients importer.

Other platforms: Pixieset · Pic-Time · CloudSpot · HoneyBook · Dubsado
