FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About PhotoEZ
Everything you need to know about the PhotoEZ WordPress photography plugin suite
PhotoEZ is a WordPress photography plugin suite designed for professional photographers who want to run their entire client workflow from their own website. It includes client photo proofing galleries, online session booking with deposits, digital contract signing, and secure final image delivery — all hosted on your own WordPress site with no monthly fees and no commission on sales.
PhotoEZ is developed by EJS Tech, an independent software company founded by Elle Jones, a working photographer and software developer. Visit ejstech.net to learn more about the company and the founder's story behind building PhotoEZ.
PhotoEZ includes client gallery functionality, but it is much more than a gallery plugin. PhotoEZ is a complete client workflow platform built specifically for professional photographers. It handles watermarked client proofing, photo selection, online booking, digital contracts, and high-resolution image delivery — replacing several separate SaaS subscriptions with one self-hosted solution.
The biggest difference is the business model. Platforms like Pixieset, Pic-Time, and ShootProof charge monthly subscription fees and often take a commission on photo sales. PhotoEZ is a one-time purchase you install on your own WordPress website. There are no monthly fees, no commission on sales, and you fully own your client galleries, data, and brand experience.
Yes. PhotoEZ Lite is a free version available on the official WordPress.org plugin directory. It includes core client gallery and photo proofing features. You can install it on any WordPress website at no cost and upgrade to PhotoEZ Pro whenever you need additional features like final delivery, custom watermarks, online booking, and contract signing.
PhotoEZ requires a WordPress website with WordPress 5.8 or higher and PHP 8.0 or higher. WooCommerce is required for processing payments and selling photo upgrades. Most photographers already have a WordPress site, so getting started usually takes just a few minutes.
PhotoEZ Lite is completely free on WordPress.org. PhotoEZ Pro and the optional Booking and Contracts addons are sold separately as one-time purchases or annual licenses. The complete three-plugin suite is also available as a discounted bundle. Visit ejstech.net for current pricing on all PhotoEZ products.
