What gets better

  • Lower commission on every plan

    Every plan's rate drops, by 1.5 to 9 points. Pay as you go and Lite move to Free at 16%, Pro goes to 14%, and Enterprise, now called Max, goes to 12%.

  • 2× the storage on Pro, 3× on Max

    Pro goes from 500 GB to 1 TB and Max from 1 TB to 3 TB. Free includes 50 GB, double Pay as you go's 25 GB.

  • Free-download photos included

    Today every photo in a free-download gallery is charged. From 1 November, 1,000 to 10,000 a month are included, then it's $8 per 1,000: the same as or less than today's rate on every plan.

  • Simpler pricing

    Three plans instead of four, one commission per plan, and extra storage in simple packs.

  • Nothing extra per order

    No fee per order. Card fees work just as they do today, separately from our commission.

  • Your deal is honoured

    If you have a custom deal, it carries over until it ends.

The one price that goes up

Enterprise, now called Max, is $49 a month (was $44.99) from your first renewal on or after 1 November. For that it includes 3 TB instead of 1 TB, 10,000 free-download photos a month and the lowest rate, 12% instead of 13.5%: once you sell about $270 a month, the lower rate more than covers the difference. Pro comes down from $29.99 to $29.

1 November 2026

What happens on 1 November

One date for everyone. Your workspace moves to its new plan automatically.

  • Pay as you go Free

    Still $0 a month. 16% instead of 25%, and 50 GB instead of 25 GB.

  • Lite Free

    Lite retires and your workspace moves to Free: no more $16.99 a month, and 16% instead of 18.5%. Storage: Free includes 50 GB (Lite had 100 GB). Extra storage is from $5 per 100 GB a month, or choose Pro for 1 TB and 14%.

  • Pro Pro

  • Enterprise (now called Max)

    Enterprise is renamed Max — same plan, new name, now with 3 TB and a 12% rate. It's $49 a month instead of $44.99 from your first renewal on or after 1 November.

  • No action needed

    Your workspace moves on 1 November 2026. Galleries, prices and payouts carry on as normal.

  • The full-month rule

    Move to a plan with a lower rate and that rate applies from your first full month on it. Downgrades take effect at the end of the month.

  • Changing plan

    You can change plan any time from Billing in your workspace.

  • Custom deals

    Existing custom deals carry over until they end.

  • Selfie search and privacy

    From 1 November, face data used for selfie search is deleted 12 months after a photo is uploaded, to meet privacy laws around the world. Your photos, sales and bib search aren't affected.

    Biometric data retention policy

  • Your team

    Free includes up to 3 people, Pro up to 10 and Max unlimited. Already have more people in your workspace? They keep their access — the limit only applies when adding someone new.

The web uploader is now the standard way to upload

Always-on shared FTP servers close on 1 November 2026. The web uploader is faster than FTP and makes full use of your connection, on every plan. If FTP is essential, you can start your own server on demand.

1 November 2026

  • The web uploader, on every plan

    It sends many photos at once, far more than an FTP app like FileZilla (2 at a time by default, and no more than 10), and keeps adjusting to make full use of your bandwidth, and if the connection drops it resumes by itself. On Pro and Max (Pro and Enterprise until 1 November), light previews go up first, so your gallery is live in minutes.

  • If FTP is essential: on Pro and Max

    Available now: start your own on-demand FTP server from the web uploader, at a personal Photohawk address that never changes (on Pro and Enterprise until 1 November). It switches off automatically after 1 hour without activity.

  • Photohawk Studio, on every plan

    The Photohawk uploader app for your workspace, on desktop and iOS.
