Before sending out the final gallery to clients or guests, taking a moment to preview it is a small but crucial step that ensures everything looks clean, professional, and error-free.
Whether you’re delivering photos for a wedding, marathon, corporate event, or school function, a preview gives you the chance to view the gallery as your end users will see it—helping you catch any mistakes or missing elements before it’s too late.
Why Previewing Matters
Previewing helps you check for:
- Proper folder organization and naming
- Correct placement of cover photos for main gallery and folders
- Branding consistency with your logo and watermarks
- Smooth navigation across devices
- Image quality and loading speeds
- Accuracy of privacy settings and access controls
It’s an opportunity to confirm that your gallery not only works—but works exactly the way you want it to.
Use the Right Links to Preview
Once your event is ready, TurtlePic provides two types of access links:
- Public Link:
This is the open link anyone with access can use to view the gallery. Use this to check if you are able to view all photos inside the folders. - Private Link (Face Recognition View):
This is designed for individual guests. When someone opens the private link, they’ll only be able to view photos they are in—thanks to face recognition. This is a critical privacy feature and should be previewed to ensure it’s functioning as expected.
By checking both links on desktop and mobile, you can ensure the gallery looks and behaves correctly across devices.
Quick Preview Checklist
Before sharing the gallery, ask yourself:
- ✅ Are the gallery and folder cover images displaying properly?
- ✅ Does the logo appear correctly on both desktop and mobile?
- ✅ Are folders logically organized and easy to navigate?
- ✅ Are all images uploaded and loading fast?
- ✅ Is face recognition access working as intended in the private link?
Previewing your TurtlePic gallery before sharing helps you deliver a polished experience every time—no surprises, no corrections needed after the fact. It’s a simple but professional habit that ensures every gallery lives up to your standards.
