Pixpa review
A broad photography website builder with galleries, commerce, and a $9 monthly entry plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pixpa is a hosted website builder for photographers, artists, designers, and other creative professionals. It brings portfolio pages, responsive templates, client galleries, blogging, analytics, custom domains, and online selling into one web-based platform. Photographers can use galleries for client proofing, favorites, comments, labels, ratings, private access, downloads, and secure file delivery, while stores support physical products, prints, services, and digital files.
The four paid monthly plans scale mainly by publishing, commerce, gallery, storage, and collaboration limits. Basic costs $9 per month and includes 10 website pages or galleries, 200 website gallery images, up to 3 store products, 3 gallery links, and 3 GB of original-file storage. Creator costs $15 per month and adds unlimited pages or galleries and gallery images, up to 10 store products, 10 gallery links, and 5 GB of storage. Professional is $20 per month, with up to 100 store products, 25 gallery links, 25 GB of storage, and unlimited contributors. Advanced costs $25 per month and adds unlimited store products, 100 gallery links, 100 GB of storage, and advanced store and marketing tools. A 15-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Pixpa’s strongest fit is for photographers who want a portfolio, client review workflow, delivery area, and shop rather than a portfolio-only site. Integrations include Google Analytics, YouTube, Vimeo, Stripe, PayPal, Zapier, and WHCC, while custom CSS and HTML editing provide additional control. The main boundary is video hosting: video files cannot be uploaded directly, so externally hosted videos must be embedded. Photographers needing direct video hosting should choose a different platform; those seeking an all-in-one photography site with galleries and commerce should consider Pixpa.
