Zenfolio Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Something is really not right with…

Something is really not right with Zenfolio It used to be good but not now Galleries that could be viewed now can’t As a professional photographer who pays good money it’s just not good enough

Even though I am paying hundreds of…

Even though I am paying hundreds of pounds for this site. Zenfolio decided to archive a whole load of galleries, without any email or warning. What exactly am I paying for if Zenfolio decide to delete all my images. Used to be good once but not anymore.

What happened????

As a long-time user of Zenfolio, I am so sad to see what this service has become. For the longest time, this service was amazing, but recently that has all changed. I'm not sure whose idea it was to start the whole archiving thing, but it is causing chaos for my business. Not only is it making galleries inaccessible to my clients, but it is crashing my portfolio causing me trouble getting new clients as well. I'm not sure what I am going to do, but at this point, I'm sure that it won't ...

Their archiving process is a disaster…

My website hosted by Zenfolio right now is broken all over the place: galeries disappeared, collections broken, most of my blog posts lost their pictures and are now empty! I tried to "restore" all of the galleries with blog images more than 1 week ago, and the pictures are still missing! When this was going to be implemented, we were promised that all pictures used in blog and active galleries would not be archived, well that was apparently not true. We were told that galleries could be ...

So many LOYAL customers for over a…

So many LOYAL customers for over a decade in my reading below. I have been with them since 2010. I cannot get over how unprofessional this is. Fine if you need to upgrade your archival process as a company but NOT at the client's expense while you still charge them for images they cannot even f* access. So so so very disappointed. I have SO many images I cannot even access or find right now. They should be held accountable and also refund clients.

I concur with all the negative reports…

I concur with all the negative reports here. I also have been a zenfolio client for around fifteen years. I have just cancelled my account as, like others, archiving and restoring is a slow, clunky, nightmare. The thought of trying to download my galleries, which would also be a nightmare, has led me to the decision to reload onto a working alternative site from hard drive back-ups. Sorry Zenfolio, you have screwed up big time!

TOTAL REGRETS for not jumping ship when all the red flags went up

I have never been this livid with a company before. I am so upset about the Zenfolio's asinine decision to stab us and our customers in the back after promising unlimited storage for our VIEWING galleries -- and archiving our galleries and making it a full-time job to unarchive them IN LIMITED #s (we get 20??? ARE YOU SERIOUS). If I wanted a worst-case backup cloud, I'd have stuck with backblaze. They are now holding our pics hostage.... we can't transfer to another service without putting ...

I've been a customer of zenfolio for 16 years

I've been a customer of zenfolio for sixteen years. I'm not sure what Zenfolio is doing. They keep increasing their prices even as their platform gets worse and worse in terms of performance. The archiving fiasco is one thing, another is that basic features don't work, they don't support their classic app and the website is glacially slow. Today I tried to upload a gallery of images for a client. "Tried" is the operative word. Despite the platform showing all of the images were uploading, ...
