Not every decision has to be made "by gut". We have gathered three free online tools that save a photographer time on pricing, paperwork and printing. All run in the browser, with no signup and no installation.
Session pricing calculator
Enter your working time, fixed costs and margin, and the pricing calculator works out a profitable price plus three ready packages (basic, standard, premium) and the price per single photo. It is the fastest way to stop pricing below cost. More on the method in the guide on how to price a photo session.
Photography contract template generator
A good contract protects both sides. The contract template generator walks you through every key point (scope, fee, copyright, image rights and GDPR) and builds a ready document to download as PDF. What exactly it should contain is laid out in how to write a session contract.
DPI and print size calculator
When a client asks about a large print, the DPI calculator instantly shows the maximum print size from your file and tells you whether the resolution is enough. How megapixels translate into centimetres is explained in the guide on print size and DPI.
How to use them in practice
They work best together: the pricing calculator sets the price, the contract generator secures the terms, and the DPI calculator answers print questions. Three repeatable client conversations that usually eat time are handled in a few minutes.
FAQ
Are the tools really free?
Yes, all three are free and need no account. They run in the browser and you can use the results right away.
Do I need a Picvelo account to use them?
No. The tools are public. An account only helps once you want to deliver photos to clients in a branded gallery and sell prints.
