How do I hide or show a photo?

You can hide photos without deleting them. Hidden photos stay in your account but aren't visible on your public portfolio.

How to do it

1. Open Photos (/dashboard/media)
2. Click the photo
3. In the edit panel you see an eye icon (visibility toggle)
4. Click to hide/show
5. Save

Alternatively: In the grid, hidden photos show a crossed-out eye.

What's this useful for?

• Work in progress: You uploaded the photo but want to finish title/description before it goes live
• Temporarily hidden: A specific photo shouldn't show right now (e.g. during an NDA period)
• Alternative versions: You have multiple edits and want to show only one
• Archive: Old photos you don't want to delete but also not show

What exactly happens?

• ✅ Photo stays visible in your dashboard
• ✅ You can keep editing it
• ✅ It still counts towards your plan limit (e.g. the 30 free photos)
• ❌ No longer on your public portfolio
• ❌ Not in galleries publicly either
• ❌ External visitors don't see it anymore

Hide whole galleries

You can also hide whole galleries — see hide gallery. More efficient than hiding photos individually.

Hide multiple photos

Currently you hide each photo individually. Batch actions are planned.

Tip: staging workflow

Many creators work like this:

1. Upload photos as hidden
2. Calmly add title, description, credit
3. When everything fits — flip to visible

That way your portfolio is never unfinished.
