A photographer combines a gallery of images into one PDF proof, watermarks the previews, and compresses the file so the client can open it on their phone.

Built for proof sheets. Whether it's proof sheets, galleries, contracts, Arthize's add header & footer to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Client shoots and unreleased galleries are confidential; private processing protects them.
