How it works
Three steps.
Zero invoices.
Drop your file
Upload a video or image. We generate a watermarked preview automatically so your work stays protected.
Send the link
You get a unique paywall link. Share it over email, text, or DM — your client sees the preview but can't download until they pay.
Get paid instantly
Your client pays through Stripe and the clean file unlocks immediately. No chasing. No awkward follow-ups. Just money in your account.
“Built by a freelance videographer who lost ~10% of his income to clients who never paid.
HandFrame is the tool I wish I had.”

Questions
Frequently asked.
What is HandFrame?
A paywall-gated file delivery platform built for freelance videographers, photographers, and editors. You upload your file, share a payment link, and your client pays before they can download the clean file. No invoicing. No follow-ups.
How does HandFrame work?
Three steps. (1) Upload a video or image — we generate a watermarked preview automatically. (2) Share the unique paywall link with your client. (3) They pay through Stripe and the clean file unlocks instantly.
Who is HandFrame for?
Freelance videographers, photographers, and editors who want to get paid before delivering their work. Research shows 5–20% of freelancer invoices go unpaid — HandFrame eliminates that problem at the source.
How is this different from WeTransfer paid transfers?
WeTransfer paid transfers validate the need for paid delivery. HandFrame is narrower: a freelancer-specific client page with a watermarked preview first, payment second, and clean-file unlock after payment.
Is this for Pixieset or Pic-Time users?
If you need full galleries, print sales, packages, or store-style digital downloads, those tools may be better. HandFrame is for one finished client deliverable: one file, one link, one payment.
How do payments work?
HandFrame uses Stripe for secure payment processing. Your client pays the amount you set on a Stripe-hosted checkout. Once payment clears, the clean file unlocks for download automatically.
