Why Glassline
EU-hosted infrastructure
Every component runs in the EU. Your clients' photos never leave European soil. No adequacy decisions, no SCCs, no transfers to challenge.
No viewer data collected
Glassline doesn't ask your clients to create accounts, enter email addresses, or download an app. They open the link and see their photos. No data is collected from viewers — which means a structurally smaller GDPR footprint for you as the data controller.
Faster loading from Europe
Galleries served from EU edge servers. No 8,000 km round trip to North American data centres. The difference is noticeable on image galleries. Your clients will love it!
EXIF metadata visible
Every image displays aperture, ISO, shutter speed, and focal length. A detail that signals craft — and something Pixieset doesn't offer to viewers.
What you build is what they see
Glassline's gallery editor shows you exactly what your client will see — same layout, same feel, same experience.
No lock-in
Your photos are always yours. Download all your originals at full resolution, any time, at no extra cost. No export fees, no special process — if you ever move on, your work moves with you.
