Favorites and album picks

Every Knotflix photo gallery has two kinds of selection built in: hearts, for the photos couples love, and album picks, for the shortlist you will actually design the album from. No spreadsheets, no filename lists.

How couples select

Couples do all of this straight from their private link — no account, no app. We watch our own couples do it the week the gallery lands, usually from a phone on the sofa.

  • Hearting a favorite: tap the heart on any photo. That is the whole gesture — it works while browsing the grid or viewing a single photo full-screen.
  • Marking album picks: the album pick is a separate, deliberate flag. Hearts say "we love this"; picks say "this one goes in the album." Couples can heart a hundred photos and still hand you a tight pick list.
  • Changing their mind: tapping again removes a heart or a pick. Nothing is locked in, so couples can refine over a few evenings instead of one pressured session.

How your studio sees and downloads the picks

Open the gallery from your Knotflix dashboard and the selections are right there on the photos — you see exactly which images carry hearts and which are album picks, without asking the couple to copy out filenames.

When the pick list is ready, download the selected photos at full resolution — grab them as a ZIP and drop them straight into your album design workflow. The most tedious conversation in album production, "which ones did you choose?", simply stops happening.

Common questions

What is the difference between a heart and an album pick?

A heart is a favorite — a couple flagging photos they love, with no limit or consequence. An album pick is the working shortlist for the printed album. Keeping them separate means couples can be generous with hearts while still giving you a usable pick list.

Do couples need an account to heart photos or mark picks?

No. Selections happen directly in the private gallery link, on any device. There is no signup or login on the couple side at any point — the link they already have is all they need.

Can I download just the picked photos?

Yes. From the gallery in your dashboard you can download the couple’s selections at full resolution as a ZIP, so the album shortlist goes straight into your design tool instead of being rebuilt by hand from a message thread.
