Photo and album hosting with social media scheduling
A clean, modern workflow for photographers: private albums, share links, staged publishing, platform-specific post variants, lifecycle-aware media storage, and InstaLay — the tapestry editor for mattes, pixel borders, and carousel layouts — connected to your library via deep links.
Import workflows
Upload directly, connect cloud archives, or pair a desktop editor — choose the path that fits how you already organize photos.
Direct portfolio upload
Upload high-resolution source files directly to secure storage. Images are optimized automatically for every viewer's device.
Google Drive sync
A seamless alternative workflow. Connect your existing archives and sync specific collections with one click — no re-uploading entire folders by hand.
Capture One bridge
Pair from the browser, then sync exports to linx.photos with stable on-disk bindings, album editions, and byte-accurate matching.
InstaLay
Linx Photos is your library. InstaLay is the canvas — batch-frame photos for Instagram without awkward crops, build tapestry carousels, and pull assets back from your albums when you need them.
Edit in InstaLay
Open any photo or album working set from Linx with one click. Deep links hand off to the InstaLay editor without embedding Linx navigation inside the app.
From Linx picker
Inside InstaLay, browse your paired Linx albums and import variants into the current project — same desktop pairing flow as Capture One.
Mattes, borders, and tapestries
Pixel borders, aspect-safe mattes, and multi-slide tapestry layouts — the editor depth that stays in InstaLay while Linx handles hosting, sharing, and publishing.
Core Platform Features
Hosting, staged publishing, and cross-post workflows — from private share links through platform-specific variants and delivery queues.
Unified Staging + TTL
Staging media storage with pre-post + grace windows so creators can redo failed/scheduled posts without re-uploading.
Master-to-Variant Posts
One canonical post with per-platform children for caption limits, media constraints, and publish state.
Media Transform Pipeline
Non-destructive transform jobs for aspect-ratio-safe canvas padding, EXIF stripping, and platform-ready outputs.
Tapestry Orchestration
Both intra-post slices and multi-post grid tapestry planning, including order logic for reverse-chronological profiles.
Queue + Retry + Rate Governance
Async delivery queue with provider/account-level rate control to avoid API throttling and platform penalties.
InstaLay bridge
Open the tapestry editor from any photo or album, import variants from your Linx library inside InstaLay, and keep each app focused — hosting here, canvas editing there.
Capture One bridge
Pair from the browser, then sync exports to linx.photos with stable on-disk bindings, album editions, byte-accurate matching, and explicit “missing on disk” flags instead of silent deletes.
Google Drive sync
Read-only Drive OAuth lets you browse cloud folders, multi-select photos, assign maturity labels, and sync into your Linx library — mirrored alongside OneDrive and iCloud in the album source model.
OAuth Token Broker
Safe account connection and token refresh layer for multi-network publishing, separate from frontend clients.
Plans
Free is optimized for experimentation and low-volume sharing. Paid is optimized for reliability, SLA-backed delivery, and sustainable margins that fund support and feature growth.
Free
For trial users and hobby projects. Uses non-SLA and lowest-cost delivery paths by default before paid CDN spend.
Paid
For professional delivery. Always uses SLA-backed storage/CDN options and reliability-focused routing, with predictable performance for client galleries and storefront workflows.
Pricing philosophy
Paid tier is designed around a target margin that can absorb free-tier load plus core infra costs while staying materially cheaper than most photography hosting alternatives.
