How to Create Locked Photos on UniLink

The Locked Photos App on UniLink lets you gate photo galleries or individual images behind a paywall so only paying viewers can see your exclusive visual content.

What is the Locked Photos App?

The Locked Photos App allows photographers, artists, and content creators to publish private photo content that requires a payment to unlock. It is ideal for selling access to exclusive photo sets, behind-the-scenes galleries, premium wallpapers, or portfolio extensions. Buyers pay once and immediately view the full-resolution images in their browser without needing to download anything separately.

How to Enable the Locked Photos App

1. Log in to UniLink Dashboard
2. Go to Apps section
3. Select Locked Photos and click Enable
4. Upload your photos and set the access price

Features and Configuration

• Gallery View — Display unlocked photos in a beautiful grid or gallery layout after purchase.
• Blurred Preview — Show a blurred or watermarked thumbnail of your photos before unlock to tease the content.
• Multiple Photo Uploads — Include as many photos as you want in a single locked gallery listing.
• Custom Pricing — Set any price for access to your photo gallery based on the exclusivity of the content.
• Download Option Control — Choose whether buyers can download the photos or can only view them in-browser.
• Access Analytics — Track how many people have unlocked your gallery and monitor your earnings.

Best Practices

• Use a partially visible or artfully blurred preview image that hints at the content without fully revealing it.
• Organize your locked photo sets into themed collections so buyers know exactly what type of imagery they are purchasing.
• Promote your locked galleries by sharing one free, high-quality public photo to establish credibility before the paywall.
