What's New in Format

2.16.6

March 30, 2026

We've upgraded to Apple's built-in photo picker, giving you a faster and more intuitive way to select photos for upload. Additionally: - fixed layout issues when sharing photos to Format from the Photos app and other apps - fixed an issue where your pages list could get stuck loading for sites with many galleries - you can now upload TIFF and WebP, in addition to Apple ProRAW and RAW - you should no longer see the error message “Looks like your gallery is out of date...” after uploading images—gallery uploads are now more reliable - fixed a crash that could sometimes occur after uploading images to an empty gallery - adopted Apple's Liquid Glass UI

Look elsewhere

Fake Canadian company it’s actually American and they will not allow you to sell event photos to clients so your clients will take your work and have to print it elsewhere.

So far so good!

Trying to learn SquareSoace and Wix and Pixpa and Pixieset all the other options felt unnecessarily complicated frustrating for me, but this one feels like it's just simply designed to do exactly what it is supposed to do.

Pricing options seem fair as well... likely to invest before the 14-day free trial expires. 7 more to test, but so far Format stands out far above the rest.

App is lacking for a pro site

There’s so many things you can’t do from your mobile phone either from the app or website, such as view client galleries and see client selections.

Wow I had low expectations but …

No effort at an iPad version?! I would even be fine with that if the iPhone version was any good or the android version even existed. I’ll look elsewhere next year when my membership expires.
